Amandla Stenberg fires back at racist tweets

So the other day, I told you about how a small, stupid, vocal part of the web is pissed off that the characters of Rue, Thresh and Cinna from The Hunger Games were all portrayed by black actors, despite the fact that both Rue and Thresh were defined as black in the books. So yeah, racist and dumb. Winning combination. Anyway, Amandla Stenberg, who is thirteen-years-old and plays Rue, fired back at the critics in the most polite and respectful way possible. Us Weekly reports:

On Wednesday, Stenberg spoke out on the controversy. “As a fan of the books, I feel fortunate to be part of The Hunger Games family,” she told Us Weekly in a statement. “It was an amazing experience; I am proud of the film and my performance. I want to thank all of my fans and the entire Hunger Games community for their support and loyalty.”

Part of me is infinitely glad that someone her age can react to all that hate with such a level head, but the other part of me is picking up the pieces of exploded brain because just how awful does someone have to be to send hate tweets to a teenager for being black? Holy shit, people are the worst.

Megan Fox is pregnant … maybe!

Half of Star magazine’s revenue comes from randomly pointing at a celebrity and screaming PREGNANT! A practice which gets inherently awkward when it turns out the celebrity doesn’t have fertilized eggs but does have a lawyer, but things like “logic” and “facts” have never gotten in their way before, so why start now? Anyway, the latest celebrity who is “pregnant” (tentatively speaking) is Megan Fox, who got knocked up by Brian Austin Green. Via RadarOnline:

“They just found out and are incredibly excited,” a source close to the couple told Star, noting that the pregnancy was unexpected. However, it’s unlikely the Transformers actress will be going public with the news just yet, as the source says: “It’s still early, so they are only telling close friends and family members.” Since tying the knot in 2010, Megan has become stepmother to Brian’s 10-year-old son, Kassius, who he had with ex Vanessa Marcil. “Megan has become a great stepmom, and Brian knows she’ll be wonderful with the baby,” the source said.

Well, we wish them all the best if this pregnancy thing turns out to actually be happening. And if not, all the best to ‘em anyway, because I’m pretty Michael Bay is plotting Megan’s death just as soon as he finishes killing the credibility of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which I’m pretty sure will have changed into Adult Alien Samurai Newts by the time he’s done with it.

Jennifer Lawrence will concuss you!

In case you were wondering how realistic The Hunger Games movie is, consider the fact that Jennifer Lawrence gave her co-star, Josh Hutcherson, a concussion during her performance. Via Page Six:

“We were just goofing around, and like doing some shadow boxing for fun,” Hutcherson said on the Late Show with David Letterman Wednesday. “She throws this beautiful kick, but it landed right on my temple and literally knocked me to the ground. I was down. I was seeing stars and she was freaking out, crying.” While Hutcherson, the ex of Vanessa Hudgens, was embarrassed, he didn’t realize that the injury was serious. “I didn’t want to make a big deal about it,” Hutcherson explained. “But the next day somebody asked me for my address and I started telling them my address from when I was nine years old. That’s when I was like, ‘This is not right.’ Jennifer felt terrible about it, but it was kind of hilarious.”

For the record, I’ve never read The Hunger Games. I know nothing about the series whatsoever. I’m gonna read it, I swear, but in case your looking for some joke about Katniss or Peeta or whoever’s in the book … sorry, not gonna find it here.

Even Charlize Theron loves Michael Fassbender’s penis

Because I know what you guys like — namely, famous celebrity peen — here’s a little story about Michael Fassbender‘s now famous dong thanks to Shame, and the women who love it. Specifically, Charlize Theron, who took the time at a recent gala for Human Rights Campaign to tell Michael’s sizable penis how much we all love it. People reports:

“Your penis was a revelation. I’m available to work with it any time,” the new mom, 36, said at the Human Rights Campaign gala in Los Angeles, where she was honored with the Ally For Equality award, the L.A. Times reports. “I have to say that I was truly impressed that you chose to play it big,” she joked to Fassbender, 34, who later toasted the crowd himself from the podium. “Most other actors would have gone small, trust me. I know because I’ve worked with them.”

I have nothing to add to this, mostly because Michael’s penis just appeared and offered to take me to the magical land of Pure Ecstasy. What’s that, Michael’s penis? You want to take the long way around? Well, okay then! WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Peter Facinelli and Jennie Garth are divorcing!

I don’t know who either of these people are, but they’re attractive, newly single, and it’s the top story on every news site ever right now, so I might as well tell you all that Peter Facinelli and Jennie Garth are both back on the market after filing for divorce after eleven years of marriage. Access Hollywood reports:

“While we have decided to end our marriage, we both share the same deep love and devotion to our children,” the couple said in a joint statement released to Access. “We remain dedicated to raising our beautiful daughters together,” the couple’s statement continued. “We ask for privacy and respect during this time.” The couple, who were married for 11 years, have three daughters together (Luca, 14; Lola, 9; and Fiona, 5).

Soooooo … is it too early to blame this on Amanda Bynes? Because if she’s willing to blow off a cop while he’s writing her a ticket, then I’m pretty sure she’d … *ahem* … blow off Peter, especially since she tried to bang him while she and Jennie were starring in What I Like About You.

Heather Morris has alleged nude pics too!

After the web was blessed with the double whammy of Christina Hendricks‘ and Olivia Munn‘s alleged-but-probably-fake nude pictures last week, there was apparently just enough miracle left over for one more go around, which is why there are now alleged nude photos of Heather Morris, who some of you might remember as one of the last reasons to still watch Glee at this point, because it sure as hell isn’t for that Finn/Rachel ridiculous marriage storyline. The Daily Mail reports:

A series of pictures which seem to be of the 25-year-old actress were leaked yesterday. One shot shows Heather, who plays Brittany S. Pierce in the hit US TV show, donning her Slave 4 U outfit from the Britney Spears episode of Glee, while another shows her wearing a black bikini top and miniskirt. Other shots, however, are slightly more intimate, showing a woman who looks a lot like Heather baring her naked body for the camera. It remains to be seen what Heather says about the leaked photographs, although she has posed for nude pictures in the past before she shot to fame on Glee.

Say what you will, but nude pictures leaking really can’t be any more embarrassing or damaging to your career than, say, getting stuck in a terrible student-teacher sexual relationship plotline. Isn’t that right Mark Salling? See? This is why you should have just released pictures of your dick. Now you’re forever going to be known as “that talented guy who banged Idina Menzel in the worst storyline ever.” Yes, any post that’s even tangentially related to Glee will devolve into me criticizing Ryan Murphy for his shitty story arcs.

Amanda Bynes is an idiot

A few of you might remember Amanda Bynes from her parts in Hairspray and Easy A, although chances are most of you don’t remember her at all. Anyway, Amanda was pulled over for talking on her cell phone while driving, and decided that the most sane and rational thing to do in that situation was to just drive away while the cop was writing her ticket. TMZ reports:

Bynes was originally pulled over for talking on a cell phone while driving yesterday afternoon. The officer approached the car and collected all of Amanda’s information so he could write up the citation. But Amanda didn’t feel like waiting around … and hit the gas before the cop could hand over the ticket for the actress to sign. We’re told the cop decided NOT to pursue Bynes because he didn’t feel she was dangerous … and besides, he already had all of her information. Later that day, Bynes rolled by the police station and signed the ticket … but we’re told she’s not off the hook for leaving the scene early. Authorities are currently investigating the situation … and will decide if Bynes should face further charges for her untimely exit.

This of course sounds ridiculously goddamn stupid, until you remember that this is Los Angeles, where even the most basic of celebrities can bulldoze a public school and the harshest punishment they’ll get is a stern talking to and a demand for them to eat all their vegetables before they can eat their dessert. “All of it, little missy, or no dessert! All right, fine, just three bites. Two? Fine, one bite, but that’s it.”

Jennifer Love Hewitt doesn’t get why she’s still single

Sure, Jennifer Love Hewitt may be insanely hot with a nice pair of boobs, but for some reason, she’s still single! And by “some reason”, I mean “she has no idea how men actually work”, as exemplified by her having three engagement rings already picked out for potential suitors. I’m not even straight, and my balls still receded squealing back up into my body. Anyway, here she is talking to Maxim about how she’s still vajazzling, and doesn’t understand how this could in anyway correlate to her forever single status:

You’re a big proponent of “vagazzaling.” Can you explain what that is?
Vagazzaling is where you stick Swarovski crystals on the female area to add a little glitz and glamour. I actually named it that because it’s like BeDazzling for your hoo-ha.

Well, it’s a very descriptive term.
The fun part of being a girl is that there are little beauty things you can do to make yourself feel special. I can walk around all day and think, Nobody has any idea that I have a sparkly secret in my pants right now. It kind of took off after I wrote about it in my book, and now I have strangers coming up to me all the time like, “Oh, my God, I’m vagazzaled right now. Want to see?” I’m like, “No, I don’t, but congratulations.”

Do you still do it?
I do. I was vagazzaled for my Maxim shoot.

Now that you’re single, you must get hit on a ton.
It might sound so stupid, but guys do not hit on me. I’m not really sure why, but it’s very rare that a guy will ever come up to me and be like, “I’m going to lay down my game right now, and you’re going to like it.”

Ummm … sweetums? I think part of the fact that your single might be because they’re afraid they’re going to catch some sort of very sparkly venereal disease. Oh, and also the fact that you act like a love-struck sixteen-year-old girl all the time, which once again: men do not like this. No one wants to date someone with the emotional maturity of a teenager, whether that’s emotionally stunted man who plays video games all day or a woman who thinks hot gluing things to her vagina is a good idea.

Sandra Bullock and Brett Ratner didn’t hook up!

For some reason, In Touch decided to report that Sandra Bullock and Brett Ratner hooked up after the Oscars, even though Sandra is a ten and Brett is, at best, a two. Maybe two-and-a-half if you’re drunk to the point of blindness. Anyway, Sandra did the most logical thing when faced with rumors that she had sex with Brett: Set herself on fire because seriously, Brett Ratner? His penis is a fate worse than death released a statement denying the rumor. Us Weekly:

In a joint statement, the Blind Side star and Tower Heist director tell Us Weekly: “We think that it’s incredibly sad that in these times, this magazine would resort to complete fabrication, solely for financial gain. There is not a shred of accuracy in their story. We have not seen nor spoken to each for over a decade. We both had a great time after the Oscars, just not with each other.”

Once again, Sandra is a much classier person than I, because if someone accused me of sleeping with Brett, my first response would be “Do I smell like shrimp grease and daddy issues? Do I? DO I?!?!?!” before rubbing against the noses of reporters until they emphatically agreed that I would never stick any of Brett’s shrimp-rubbed appendages into my secret garden.
