This picture is so strange to me. Her neckline is right along the frame behind her so it looks like she's in the frame. Plus her head looks so tiny.

| Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel now 'friends with benefits,' says source |
[Nov. 9th, 2009|11:34 pm] |
 Despite widespread reports of their split, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel continue to be photographed together. Could a reconciliation be in the offing? Kind of. A source tells Fox411 that despite appearances, the two are definitely not back together full-time. Instead, they are going the time-tested route of first seeing what its like being part-time lovers. Yes, it appears Justin and Jessica are now "friends with benefits." "Justin was very clear with Jessica that he didn't want to be in a serious relationship with her anymore where he wasn't able to date other people," says the insider. "Jessica took the news very hard, but once she calmed down and they started talking again, he convinced her to stay friends who hook up, without all the pressure of a relationship." How did Timberlake succeed in persuading one of Hollywood's most beautiful women to agree to every man's (okay, almost every man's) dream scenario? "At first she was very reluctant, but she missed him a lot and so she decided to give it a try even though it wasn't exactly how she wanted things to be," the source explains. "She's still in love with him, and they are still attracted to each other, so it would have been difficult for them to quit each other cold turkey." The source says the new setup is a "win-win" for Timberlake. "Justin gets the best of both worlds," says the source. "He doesn't have to lose Jess as a lover or a friend, but he's free to explore other [relationships]." Sounds like a win-win-win. source. ot: ontd, how do you stop procrastinating D: i have to read a whole book for my test tomorrow. i'm so bad at this.. |

![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) its_miley's #MusicMonday: Them Crooked Vultures, Tegan and Sara, AFI, Blaqk Audio |
[Nov. 9th, 2009|11:33 pm] |
Tegan and Sara : Twilight
If you do not want your heart to break, do not read on. After this, you may no longer like Tegan.
In an interview posted on MTV.com, Tegan said the duo took inspiration from "Twilight".
"I read all the 'Twilight' books while we were recording Sainthood, and [producer/ Death Cab for Cutie guitarist] Chris [Walla] and I were talking about it a lot, because after we finished our record, he was going to record with Death Cab to do their song for the 'New Moon' soundtrack," Tegan Quinn told MTV News last week. "So me and him would geek out with each other and talk about it, and he'd actually be doing a job — he'd be producing our record — and I'd be on the couch [paging through], and he'd be like, 'You're on the third book already?' We nerded out with one another." 2
AFI/Blaqk Audio : Yo Gabba Gabba! + Album News + The Drummer Speaks 
Going through my December 2009 issue of Alternative Press, noticed a few things. (I can scan the pages if anyone is interested.) But here are the high lights ! :
* AFI is "Too Shy To Conform" (lol, article title)
* Hunter Burgan is described as "tranquil and contemplative...similar to the dry wit and clever humor on his Twitter account" (@TranquilMammoth).
* Blaqk Audio......Jade and Davey have a title and artwork picked out but they decided to hold off on releasing it until AFI are done touring with "Crash Love".
* Bassist Hunter Burgan recently recorded a tune "about babies" for the Nickelodeon kid's show Yo Gabba Gabba! Hunter describes "out of context of being a father--which I'm not--the lyrics are just so creepy. It's about watching your baby grow. I don't know, that show, as a whole, has a weird, surreal vibe to it." Aside from Yo Gabba Gabba!, he's also busy writing a book.
* Drummer Adam Carson quote: "I'm the drummer. I'm the least recogizable in the band.....I'm not concerned about being recognized when I'm walking down the street. It's not important to me. But I really like it when people like my band."

| NASA on a crusade to debunk 2012 apocalypse myths |
[Nov. 9th, 2009|08:23 pm] |
The world is not coming to an end on December 21, 2012, the US space agency insisted Monday in a rare campaign to dispel widespread rumors fuelled by the Internet and a new Hollywood movie.
Sony Pictures's latest big screen offering "2012" arrives in theaters on Friday, with a 200-million-dollar production about the end of the world supposedly based on myths backed by the Mayan calendar.
The doomsday scenario revolves claims that the end of time will come as an obscure Planet X -- or Nibiru -- heads toward or collides into Earth.
The mysterious planet was supposedly discovered by the Sumerians, according to claims by pseudo-scientists, paranormal activity enthusiasts and Internet theorists.

Did pop diva Beyonce Knowles and Destiny's Child rip off a Chicago songwriter's song?
A copycat claim contained in a 2006 lawsuit is expected to land the "Bootylicious" sensation in a witness chair next month as part of a copyright infringement trial to be held in Chicago's federal courthouse.
In dispute is a song titled "Cater 2 U" released by Destiny's Child in a 2004 compilation called "Destiny Fulfilled." The video features sultry scenes of the musical trio proclaiming: "Whatever you desire, I'll aspire."
But Chicago songwriter and performer Rickey Allen says it's his song, and a judge has given the green light for a jury to hear his claims against Mrs. Jay-Z.

| Matt Damon, State Dept. Create Global Warming Propaganda PSA |
[Nov. 9th, 2009|07:04 pm] |
Recently, actor Matt Damon narrated a video for the State Department, addressing the problem of chronic worldwide hunger. The video is extremely well made; those who watch it can’t help but be touched by it.
This first minute of the three-minute video revolves around one problem: Hunger. Poor children are seen dying of starvation, others are lying on the streets of third-world countries, not able to walk. Damon explains that six million children die of hunger every year – needless to say, a shocking statistic.
Even the most egotistical viewer cannot help but get angry at and upset by so much suffering, most of which is needless.
But then, one minute into the video, the subject suddenly changes. We move from dying children to tornadoes and tsunamis. Damon forgets about the children for a while to focus on … you knew it was coming … global warming.

| Gossip Girl Threesome Discussion and Promo For 3.10 |
[Nov. 9th, 2009|10:08 pm] |
Ok, so what happened was Dan and Vanessa were having Olivia complete a list of '15 Things Kids Should Do In College'. It was Olivia's last day because she has to leave to go film a movie. They were all doing shots at a party and ended up back at Dan's loft in Brooklyn. The last thing on the list that she hasn't completed was "Do a Threesome". They all went around and said if they have ever had one or not. Dan and Vanessa said no and Olivia said yes but that it was for a movie and it didn't actually happen happen. Olivia chugged the rest of her drink and everyone looked at eachother. Olivia started hooking up with Dan as Vanessa watched, then Olivia and Vanessa started hooking up. Then Dan and Vanessa (ew) started to hook up. The next scene they were all in was the three of them asleep in bed (dan in the middle) and Olivia's phone had a text saying that the movie was cancelled, meaning she doesn't have to leave school (aka an extra awkward morning).
I know everyone is going to bitch that it wasn't as big as it was set up to be and even though 99% of the people already expected this, they're going to bitch anyways. However the next episode not only looks really good (btw tonight's episode was really good) but they are going to show flashbacks of the threesome, so along with more scenes (hopefully raunchy) they'll also add 3~.
Now commence the lack of 'hot people in a threesome, the lack of a gay threesome, how gossip girl has no balls, and how gossip girl sucks because they didn't play 3'
Imo I thought the beginning was so awkward and sexy at the same time, I had the weirdest feeling in my stomach. But I liked it and can't wait to see more!! And you all need to remember this is a network show this isn't fucking skinamax or hbo!!!
In fact, after I keep watching it and watching it, the scene with the background music is actually beautiful. And I feel for some reason that this like actually happened irl. It's weird and hard to explain!
don't forget yall gaga is on next episode too!!

| Sean Faris to be on Vampire Diaries |
[Nov. 9th, 2009|10:11 pm] |
Thirsty for some Vampire Diaries scoop? Former Reunion eye candy Sean Faris is sinking his teeth into a juicy multi-episode arc on the fangtastic CW hit, sources confirm to me exclusively. Faris will play Ben, an ex-high school football star-turned-bartender at the Mystic Grill. “He’s Matt’s buddy,” says a Vampire insider. “He gets entangled in the group when a broke Matt takes a job at the Mystic Grill.” The Vamp source also hints at a possible romance between Ben and one of the show’s females. But which one? Let the speculation begin in the comments!
SOURCE Who bets he'll probably be killed off by the end of that "muti-episodic arc"? |
