Since the first celebrity to die this fall will no doubt get outsized publicity, why don't all the celebrities file a statement with their publicists to be released in the event of their death that stipulates a worthy cause of which they want to raise public awareness? Like, just think about how much good could be done if every media organization and Twitter user had to report that "Robert Pattinson's last word was, simply, "OxFam." It could work!

Wow, that is alarmingly specific! And sad. And gross. (And we're not just talking about the choice of band!) Dave Matthews is probably not pleased to have been dragged into this. [NYT]

Joel McHale Presents "Jennifer Aniston is Going to Die Alone" Magazine


This clip from last night's episode of The Soup will bring a laugh to anyone who's ever felt sorry for Jennifer Aniston for what the tabloids (and even the regular magazines) present as her seemingly endless post-divorce blues, and the fact that the poor girl is constantly having to prove she's over it.

Drew Barrymore Gives Butterfly Fairy Unicorn Advice To Jay Leno


Dip it!

Last night, Drew Barrymore became the first celebrity to race around on that weird "green car" racetrack the show's been crowing about since it debuted, and gee whiz, was it ever boring and a bad idea. But there's one part of his show Jay Leno can't completely mess up, so the interview that preceded it, in which Drew shows Jay photos from her recent birthday trip to Las Vegas, tells a story about spreading her dog's ashes, and, most Drew Barrymore-ingly, congratulates him on his new show like it's mission is to help starving children, was cute.

“Look, I said during the campaign there’s some people who still think through a prism of race when it comes to evaluating me and my candidacy. Absolutely,” Mr. Obama told NBC News. “Sometimes they vote for me for that reason; sometimes they vote against me for that reason.”

But that was as far as the President would indulge cries of racism -- he says that the reason people are all riled up has more to do with the actual change he's trying to effect, and the tendency of the media to show only the most extreme elements. The Times story quotes the President adding a caveat to Warhol's famous prediction:

“The easiest way to get 15 minutes of fame,” Mr. Obama said, “is to be rude to someone.”

Thanks, Mom.
