Last Watchmen Post Today, I Promise, But This Cartoon Theme Is Awesome

My thought process when my friend sent me this link: Another Watchmen viral video? Seriously? The movie's frickin out today, we don't need to keep sending these around -- what else could possibly done with this concept that won't immediately bore me to... um.... oh... wow. This is perfect. Never mind.

Let’s Hear What the Nina Ricci Models Had to Say!

Olivier Theyskens's show for Nina Ricci yesterday left attendees and models breathless. "He's truly one of my favorites and it's sad that he'll be gone from Ricci," Tanya Dziahileva said. "I'm just standing around here and I'm refusing to take his clothes off. They'll have to force me." Lily Donaldson said they all "had a lot of practice" in the stunning shoes, which were quite possibly the highest we've seen in seasons. "But once you take them off, you automatically feel very short. That's the only downside." She is five ten. [FWD]

The CBS Colonoscopy Sweepstakes: What’s The Catch?

CBS has put together one of the most relevant and stirring sweepstakes of our time, where one lucky winner will receive a free trip to New York replete with a complimentary colonoscopy. Here is Letterman announcer Alan Kalter with the details: Now, we know what you're thinking: A free colonoscopy, eh? What's the catch... Well, according to the sweepstakes, the worst part might be this: "The hardest part is the preparation the night before when you drink a laxative. This laxative is well known for declaring itself at the very moment you have called a relative or friend (or room service) to comment that it does not seem to be working. But hang in, because it's important to have a clear colon for the screening and the fun part is about to begin." We are suckers for a little light scatalogical humor. Plus, we love laxatives. So we decided to enter the contest ourselves! And that's when we discovered this contest's true catch: THAT IS SOME AGEIST BULLSHIT RIGHT THERE - Pun more intended than ever.

Let’s Never Hear About Nadya ‘Octomom’ Suleman Ever Again

It was all the way back on January 26 that Nadya Suleman, now widely known as Octomom, gave birth to eight children. That was kind of interesting, and the fact that she already had six other kids piqued the country's interest, and even got some people mad (although nobody seems as pissed about the 18 Kids and Counting mom from TLC). The obligatory soft-focus interviews followed, after which we expected Suleman to fade back into obscurity.

But against all odds, the Suleman saga stubbornly continues to receive attention. Even in just the past couple of days, we've learned that Suleman is shopping a tape of her giving birth to octuplets (who would watch that?), and heard a leaked 911 call she made in October (who cares?). You can't blame Suleman for wanting to milk this for all it's worth, but the news media is under no obligation to cover it. And while we'd go crazy if the news was entirely focused on job losses, Ponzi schemes, stock dives, and deficits, can't we at least find a new mindless human-interest story to distract us? Personally we'd like to see some more time devoted to this woman.

SPOILER ALERT: 10 Trailers That Give Away The Entire Movie

Watchmen has finally hit theaters, thus ending a historic saga of internet video leakage that resulted in about 109% of the film ending up online prior to its release. Still, it's not like the idea of previews giving away way too much information about a movie is anything new -- to honor the Watchmen release, in all its spoilery glory, we've compiled this list of 10 Other Movie Trailers That Give Away The Entire Movie (Spoiler Spoiler-Alert!):
10. Frost/Nixon Surely the "When the president does it, it's not illegal!" line from every trailer isn't going to be the most climactic moment of the interview, right? The next line that they're not showing is Nixon calling Frost a dickhole, right? Please??
9. Forrest Gump You'll have to see the movie if you want to know exactly how many Dr. Peppers Forrest drinks and whether or not the prostitute's mouth tastes like cigarettes. Everything else is pretty much covered.
8. Mission: Impossible The stunt where Tom Cruise kills the villains by blowing up the helicopter and propelling him safely onto the back of the train is pretty sweet, but there's an even more amazing one right after that where the names of the people who made and appeared in the film scroll up the screen over black.
7. Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers I wonder if Gandalf will come back in th-- oh. Hey Gandalf, what's up?
6. Carrie She goes berserk at prom and kills everyone with her telekinesis, eh? But what song was playing at the dance before this happens?
5. Speed Does the bus crash into an airplane and explode BEFORE the part where they jump over the missing section of the highway and land safely or AFTER? We're not telling!
4. V For Vendetta Hang on -- the part where everyone descends on Westminster Abbey wearing V masks and the abbey blows up might be a dream sequence.
3. Chinatown Trailers in the 70s were usually more literal and a lot less stylized than they are now; they'd frequently explain plot points, reveal every twist, include the iconic final line and shot of the film in its entirety...
2. Cast Away But what happens in between the part where Tom Hanks gets off the island on his makeshift raft and the part where he's on a plane learning that he was stranded on the island for four years? So many questions unanswered.
1. The Godfather Guess they figured you're gonna end up memorizing this whole movie anyway, so might as well just get a head start with the trailer. (Sidenote - biggest shitty trailer / great movie discrepancy in history? Yes, besides possibly The Third Man)
HONORABLE MENTIONS: Spider-Man 2, The Negotiator, What Lies Beneath, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Iron Man, this Psycho video. Others we're leaving out? Leave 'em in the comments.

Reasons 1 Out of 1 To Move To England

Well, it's official: We're moving to England. Why, you ask? Is it because of the accents? The people? The delicious food? The overall blankie of elegance? No. The reason is simple.... ENGLAND IS EXPERIENCING A CLOWN SHORTAGE. A new crackdown by the U.K. immigration authorities is preventing dozens upon dozens of clowns and other circus performers from entering the country. Says a circus owner, who we have nicknamed "Devil Jones":

"My season started in February," says Martin Lacey, owner of the Great British Circus, "and I've got comedy acrobats stranded in the Ukraine, and Mongolian horse riders who were refused their visas in Ulan Batur." The holes in his lineup have forced Lacey to draft last-minute substitutes. "Our Mexican clown is stuck in Mexico, so we've got a trapeze artist pretending to be a stooge just to get everybody out of trouble," he says. "It's a mess."

First thing to note before moving across the pond: In England, "loo" means "bathroom", and "mess" means "a miracle".

Rihanna's Family Pray For Prison

Rihanna's family hope Chris Brown is jailed.

Chris, 19, has been charged with two felonies - assault and making criminal threats - for his alleged attack on the 'Umbrella' singer and her loved ones hope he receives the maximum sentence of four years and eight months in prison if found guilty.

One relative said: "It's about time. He should be in jail. He deserves whatever he gets."

Chris reportedly punched, bit and choked Rihanna until she was unconscious after they began arguing in his rented silver Lamborghini on February 8.

Rihanna's father Ronald Fenty has spoken out about the incident, claiming no punishment could excuse Chris' behaviour.

Speaking about how he felt when Chris was charged, Ronald said: "I don't know how to react. Chris is a very talented guy. I still think he's a little immature for Rihanna. Justice can never be served in this situation. He can't feel the pain she felt.

I would tell Chris, 'Don't ever try again, don't even think about it.' I'm hurt and disturbed at that scenario.
"I don't believe in hitting a woman. I hope everything works out better for them. I don't feel happy or sad. He's in the court's hands. Let justice prevail."

Ronald has not been in regular contact with his daughter since the incident, but says he is still supporting her.

He told Us Weekly magazine: "I can't get on to her. Her mother can't get on to her, her brother told me she changed her email. Somebody has a stranglehold on her. I'm lost.

"Anyone in my family, I'm there for them. All of my kids, I'm there for them. Rihanna's no exception. All of them I would support."

Asked what message he had for Chris, he replied: "I would tell Chris, 'Don't ever try again, don't even think about it.' I'm hurt and disturbed at that scenario."

Although Chris and Rihanna initially split following the reported incident, they are now believed to have married at P. Diddy's Miami home last weekend.

Rihanna's representatives have refused to confirm or deny the allegation, saying: "We aren't able to offer anything right now but will keep you posted if that changes."

Worst Dressed Celebrity Madonna

Madonna has been named the Worst Dressed Celebrity of 2009.

The '4 Minutes' singer topped the poll by animal rights group PETA because she continues to wear fur.

In a statement, PETA said: "When you see Madonna in fur, you realise why nobody has copied her style since 1984.

"We know she's on the prowl for a young cur, but someone needs to tell Madonna that wearing fur doesn't make you a cougar."

Other celebrities on the list include Kanye West, Kate Moss, Mary J Blige, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Elizabeth Hurley and Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen.

Despite her unwanted title, Madonna is launching a new fashion line.

The 'Material Girl' singer has teamed up with designer Ed Hardy to create the "innovative" range, which includes tattoo-inspired T-shirts and diamante-encrusted bodices.

Brand owner Christian Audigier approached the 50-year-old singer after he spotted her wearing Ed's tattoo-print clothes.

When you see Madonna in fur, you realise why nobody has copied her style since 1984
He reportedly offered Madonna a six-figure sum to design her own line and even organised a private catwalk show to inspire her.

The musician was seen arriving at Audigier's office last month and will reportedly put the finishing touches to her range this month.

Madonna designed a "cheap and trendy" range for Swedish clothing company H+M in March 2007.
