"It’s not excusable what I did. I went way overboard. A lot of it was to do with the scene we were doing and stupid as it may sound to a lot of people, my character was going through a great deal in that particular scene. The person on the receiving end is a grown man. Believe me, he really wasn’t fazed by it ... Like I said, I had it coming. It should never have been recorded. It was recorded for jollies. But I’m not trying to cover up. So there’s not embarrassment in that I wanted to keep it hidden. I’d done it in front of a whole lot of people. I take full responsibility for it. I’ve never said anything different. I’m not blaming it on anything. I took it a bit too far.”
Christian Bale, discussing his infamous rant on the Terminator: Salvation set in a new interview with Esquire. Above find my favorite little remix of the rant, which includes a brief cameo by Barbara Streisand. />

Taylor Momsen and her band, Pretty Reckless, performed in Tuesday at a club in NYC. It's the first we've seen of this band of Taylor's, which is supposedly touring with The Veronicas this summer.
I have to admit, as much as I love Taylor, this does nothing for me. Especially compared to my beloved Taylor Swift.
So who's the better Gossip Girl singer? Taylor, or Leighton Meester, whose single leaked earlier this week?
More clips after the jump.

Hey there crazy and talented kids!
If you haven't noticed by now, we've got a little feminism/women's issues blog in the works over at ZeldaLily.com. The site's only been around for a month, but we've already got an awesome audience and a lot of interesting conversations going on over there. We stuck our little toes into the water and it was warm -- so we're looking to produce more content, and, as such, we're looking for more writers.
Zelda Lily is hiring ONE PAID editor and TWO UNPAID interns. All positions are PART TIME and you will be responsible for contributing at least 4-5 pieces weekly to the site. Obviously we're looking for female writers, but, ya know, I'm open to considering anyone who thinks they're qualified, man or woman. And, unlike the Evil Beet positions, the Zelda Lily positions are open to talented writers under the age of 18.
To apply for the paid position, you MUST HAVE professional experience writing for a major publication (ie newspaper, magazine or website). Please DO NOT apply for the paid position if you do not have these credentials and links to your existing, published work, as you will NOT be considered. If you think you'd make a good contributor to Zelda Lily and you'd like to get experience writing for a larger audience, please consider applying for the unpaid intern positions to get some experience under your belt. If it works out, there will be opportunities for you to move into a paid editor role down the road.
To apply, send an email to sasha@zeldalily.com with either the subject line "ZL Editor Application" or "ZL Intern Application." If you don't use one of those subjects, you won't be considered. Please include a cover letter as well as multiple writing samples and/or links to existing blogs. If you're applying for the paid position, please detail your PROFESSIONAL writing experience (that means you were paid for it) in your cover letter.
Looking forward to hearing from you! />Hey there crazy and talented kids!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
To celebrate the workday where no one should be actually doing work, I'm posting the gallery of all the cat pics you guys sent me on Twitter.
Now, here's the thing: I know I told you guys this would be a contest that you could vote in, but I have looked high and low and I can't find a plugin that will allow me to do voting with this many pictures, at least not one that would be very usable. So there's not going to be a particularly reliable voting algorithm, and I apologize for that. But ...
Jordin Sparks took in a Lakers game last night with her boyfriend, "singer" Steph Jones. I took twenty seconds out of my day to listen to some of his stuff on his MySpace page, and, IMHO, it's totally unexceptional and amateurish. There's a reason I hadn't heard about him before now.
Jordin famously took Russell Brand to task at the VMAs last year for poking fun at the Jonas Brothers when they talked about promise rings. “It’s not bad to wear a promise ring," she said on stage, "because...
Ugh. So Diddy's latest protege, Cassie Ventura, had some nipple action "leaked" onto the Internet last night. Apparently someone "hacked" into her computer and "stole" the photos. Cassie Twittered about it last night, saying "IT SEEMS THAT SOMEONE HAS HACKED INTO MY COMPUTER...THAT'S REAL FOUL AND EVIL. NOW STOP ACTING LIKE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN A TITTY BEFORE." And then she blogged about it today:
The recent personal pictures that have been leaked on the internet of me were hacked and stolen ou...
Paris and Douche Reinhardt are having a lover's getaway on some secret island where the paps can't find them -- but that didn't stop me from tracking down some pictures of her and Doug sucking face all over the island. We get it, Paris. You guys are in love, and it's the real thing. Just like it was the real thing with Benji. That relationship was going to last forever. Just like this one is, dear.

Well this is interesting. An informal poll conducted by ParentDish.com asked over 10,000 mothers which celebrity couple they'd be most comfortable leaving their kids with. The winner? Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi.
The TV chat show host and her wife took 31% of votes with Jennifer Aniston coming in second at 22%. Brad and Angie got 18% of votes, while Oprah Winfrey got just 9%.
Now, granted, this isn't exactly Pew research, but 10,000 moms is a pretty large sample size. And they feel safer...
You can't keep these two star-crossed lovers apart!!!
Lindsay was spotted sneaking out of Samantha Ronson's house at 6:30 in the morning ... with Samantha's bulldog! Sam left the house a few minutes later.
You know these two crazy girls can't keep their hands off each other. They're in LOVE! Beautiful, co-dependent, alcohol-abusing LOVE.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT FOR A SECOND.
After news broke last night that Us Weekly had "confirmed" that Jon Gosselin was cheating on Kate with 23-year-old Deanna Hummer, the mistress herself spoke out to deny the allegations and claim that her brother -- who "confirmed" the cheating -- was a jackass. "My brother is making this all up," Hummel tells People (recall that it was Us Weekly, their competitor, who broke the story last night). "He has no credibility ... I can't even stomach the lies he's sa...
