Jennifer Aniston’s Love Life Is More Confusing to Me Than My Own

There's a simple reason for that: I have no love life. But, honestly, I spend more of my day trying to puzzle out Jen's romantic entanglements than I spend trying to figure out why I am Man Repellent. Seriously I should try to patent me and sell me to the military. They could just put me on the front lines and men would run in the opposite direction. I'm a more valuable military asset than Twitter! What was I talking about? Oh, yeah. Jen. After being spotted with Gerard Butler, she w...

Twitter Is the Newest Terrorist Tool

Sigh. The U.S. government continues to have its security efforts threatened by the evil forces of ... Twitter?
The US Army has posted a report citing certain mobile and web technologies that could be used to enable terrorism. One chapter, entitled "Potential for Terrorist Use of Twitter," observes that the Los Angeles earthquakes in July were reported by users of the microblogging site long before established news outlets had time to cover it, writes the BBC. Perceiving Twitter's ability to publish anything, instantly, as threatening, US intelligence expressed concern that terrorists could use Twitter to plan and organize quicker attacks. This September, for example, activists used Twitter to organize protests at the Republican National Convention. "Twitter is already used by some members to post and support extremist ideologies and perspectives," the report ominously states. Thus, "[terrorists] could theoretically use Twitter social networking in the US as an operational tool." A Nielsen survey ranked Twitter one of the fastest-growing social networks year over year. Popular with early adopters in the tech blogosphere, the site drew partisan interest when Republican Representative John Culberson (TX) used it to vent frustrations over rules forbidding Congressmen from linking to certain sites on their official webpages. Bloggers also flock to Twitter to discuss politics in real-time, and to liveblog the Presidential and Vice Presidential debates. Other technologies mentioned in the US Army terrorism report include VOIP (which can make it difficult to trace malicious calls), Facebook, MySpace, certain gaming networks, and satellite navigation and mapping tools.
Personally, I only use Twitter to fight the war against my own productivity. You can follow me in my daily battles here. />Sigh.

Hilary Duff: “Reach Out” Music Video

This is wrong on so many levels. Hilary's just not cut out for this kind of video. It feels like a cheap Madonna rip-off. Or, worse, like a cheap Ashlee Simpson rip-off. What do you guys think? /> This is wrong on so many levels. Hilary's just not cut out for this kind of video. It feels like a cheap Madonna rip-off. Or, worse, like a cheap Ashlee Simpson rip-off.

Quotables

“Honestly, I’m a wreck. Every time I see a camera, I’m a wreck. I don’t tend to react as though ‘I have to do this, it’s my job.’ I am reacting as a woman who is 5-foot-1 whose space is being invaded by a bunch of men whose aggression I can literally feel. In L.A. it is even worse because they are running red lights behind you, and I worry all the time about something terrible happening, someone getting hurt because of me, how I could ever possib...

Angelina Appears

Angelina Jolie made a rare public appearance last night to honor pal Clint Eastwood at the Hollywood Film Festival Awards. You guys, is it just me, or does something look different about Angelina? It's not even necessarily plastic surgery I'm talking about -- it's just that something about her seems to have fundamentally changed. She's beginning to look less like an ingenue and more like a -- well -- woman. I don't want to say "matronly," because that's such a negative term, and she's cer...

“Paris for President”

Okay, it's actually good for a laugh, but, is it just me, or is that totally not her singing? I mean, as much as I hate to admit it, I listened to her album more than once, and I don't think this is her singing voice, even as altered as it is. /> Okay, it's actually good for a laugh, but, is it just me, or is that totally not her singing?

It's just Britney lifting some weights, but somehow I find it so entrancing. Plus I love the way her legs look these days. Britney, you're totally thinspiration for me!...

Jonas Brothers to Star in “Walter the Farting Dog” Movie

More stuff that's just too good to be true: Variety reports that The Jonas Brothers have signed on to make their big-screen debut in the film adaptation of the Walter the Farting Dog books. While it's not official, it's looking like the Farrelly brothers will direct. The title character in the "Walter" books is a fat dog with severe flatulence. The brothers play musicians whose parents are asked to care for the dog by an aunt just before she passes away. "By the time they’ve driven the dog home, everybo...
