Sloppy Seconds: Joe The Plumber's New Homeland Security Gig

We can't think of anything more unAmurrrican than George W. Bush pardoning an eagle killer. Okay, we can, but still... [Gawker]

Hugh Jackman's wife was totally cool with him kissing Nicole Kidman. [Us]

Who was totally not cool on David Letterman last night. [Jezebel]

Stephanie from Full House's baby daddy (who is not from Full House but from the real world but that that Real World) has made an emotional plea for Stephanie, er Jodie Sweetin, to bring back the couple's 7-month-old daughter. Sweetin and Cody Herpin split recently, and Jodie took the kid. [Radar]

Amy Winehouse is back in the hospital after an adverse reaction to "medication." [Yahoo!]

As Wonkette so smartly stated, "Joe the Plumber's life officially becomes off-putting David Lynch film." Joe, er Samuel Wurzelbacher, is apparently now doing tacky commercials for some cheap electronics company. And it's really sad. But, hey, at least he has a job, right? A job protecting the public safety of the united states during the digital TV transition. For real. [Wonkette]

While You Were Sleeping: When MySpace Attacks...

Brian Fairbanks — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 14:52:00 GMT

An eldery woman in Evanston, Illinois couldn't bear to part with her three siblings after their deaths. Turns out, she decided to keep their bodies in her home...and got away with it for a quarter of a century.

Natalie Portman was kinda wasted on the Letterman show the other night.

One of our favorite country music legends has lung cancer...

Country singer Merle Haggard, recently diagnosed with lung cancer, had part of a lung removed and is recovering at home, his spokeswoman said on Sunday. [Yahoo!]

Evan Rachel Wood and Marilyn Manson... not totally broken up?

As if MySpace wasn't going downhill already: now it's censoring one of the only pages anyone would ever actually sign in to MySpace to read.

A nationwide protest of California's Proposition 8 will take place on Saturday the 15th. Do not miss this.

And Nicole Kidman is playing "the world's first post-op transsexual," who is married to a woman played by "Charlize Theron." Yum.

Top 5 Sex Scenes Featuring Nicole Kidman

Brian Fairbanks — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 20:49:00 GMT

Say what you will about Tom Cruise's oddball ex-wife (at least, that's how we've always thought she comes off in interviews-- the "odd" part, that is), but Nicole Kidman gets the blood boiling faster than washing down a Cialis with a double espresso. Concentrating on that tantalizing mouth and the rest of her face-- and not the usually terrible films-- is helpful...

5. Birth. Speaking of oddball, this movie certainly fits that bill. We won't bore you with the details, since the only thing you need to know is the following clip, which shows that Nicole would make a very hot movie lesbian-- love that short hair...

4. Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus

Did you know Nicole and Robert Downey, Jr. did a very nice three minute sex scene in a somewhat well-received Hollywood feature film just two years ago? If you didn't know about this already, it could be thanks to the current Mr. Nicole Kidman, who checked himself into rehab during the runup to the film's release; the actress canceled all publicity for the movie and fled to London, leaving Fur to languish here...

3. Malice. This is one of those movies that's all about its own cleverness and cramming as many twists and turns as it can into a two hour boondoggle. Luckily, they had enough room for the sex.

2. Dead Calm. Telling you what's happening here might fall under "Spoilers." Plus, it might make you vomit. Just pretend it's role playing, okay?

1. Eyes Wide Shut. A movie featuring her then-husband but a sex scene from that movie that doesn't? Hot.

Honorable Mention: Billy Bathgate

5. Cold Mountain. Debatably not hot, thanks to the movie's "soaring, sweeping" saga score, this does have two components that make it automatically worth a look: Nicole Kidman and Jude Law.

4. Coming Home. Debatably not a chick flick, this is nonetheless a great sex scene involving a man in a wheelchair that is not from a David Cronenberg film.

3. Jerry Maguire. You complete me. Unfortunately, this is an incomplete video-- the first word, "Don't," is missing. With that in mind, you should still be able to enjoy...

2. Feast of Love. There about 4,812 sex scenes in this chick flick, some even with Selma Blair, but none of them are as hot as the first five seconds of this one... against the glass in the rain... ah...

1. The Notebook. Wow... should this movie have been rated NC-17 or what? Not that we're complaining...

While You Were Sleeping: The Heath Ledger Investigation

Brian Fairbanks — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 14:33:00 GMT

James Franco denies the shirt he wears in Pineapple Express is "stolen."

Betty White and Rue McClanahan both avoided Estelle Getty's funeral.

Shia Labeouf will not, as previously rumored, lose a finger.

Even some offensive jokes are too offensive for Bob Saget: he has lashed out at an eating disorder joke and other comments made at the expense of the Olsen twins during his own Comedy Central roast.

Celebrity Hero of the Day: Kirk Douglas, who has long fought for an official US apology for slavery, is thrilled that the House has passed a fitting resolution.

A judge tossed Lisa Marie's lawsuit against ex-boyfriend Tim Burton, which comes as no surprise.

The paparazzi have yet to capture Nicole Kidman's phantom baby. In a photograph, of course.

Can you believe the cast Chicago director Rob Marshall assembled for his new musical, Nine: Daniel Day Lewis, Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Kate Hudson, Dame Judi Dench, and Sophia Loren... for starters. There's also some guy named Fellini who's working on the screenplay...

The Heath Ledger investigation has closed. It's unclear whether Mary-Kate Olsen's refusal to testify is a reason investigators ended their search, for lack of evidence.

Scanner Controversy: The Most Controversial Posts Of The Past Two Weeks

We thought we'd spice up your Friday with the Scanner equivalent of jalapeño peppers.

1) Scanner Roundtable: Let's Settle This Whole 9/11 Thing Once And For All...

With this post, we swear, we didn't plan it in advance or have any knowledge what would happen would happen.

2) This Week In Gayness: My Boyfriend Won't Put Out

Apparently, Googling "homosexualmania" does not get you this post. Shame.

3) Was Nicole Kidman Ever Really Pregnant?

Didn't she try for a decade with Tom Cruise? Hasn't she been trying for years? Aren't celebrities so strange they might fake a pregnancy to a) help their careers and/or b) cover for the fact that they adopted/cradle-robbed/did something else to obtain a baby, thinking that, somehow, their box office will plummet if they don't have a "real" birth soon?

4) Is Batman's Crime-Fighting Simply A Cry For Help?

Scanner Nicole muses...

5) "Just A Fun Loving Nerd!!!" Just The Man For Us

Yeah, but those photos gotta be -shopped, right?

6) Who Would You Rather: Michelle Pfeiffer vs. Julie Newmar?

Some are saying Eartha Kitt.

7) Crush of the Week: Gitty Grunwald, Fighting An Hasidic Cult For Her Daughter

It turns out the original New York article has become the the source of the most letters to the editor in that magazine's history...

8) "I Had Sex With My Brother" One Woman's Blue Lagoon

Some questioned our historical accuracy (Brooke Shields was that dude's cousin, after all), some just questioned.

9) Today in WTF: Guy Gets Off (For/On) Getting 14-Year-Old Girl Drunk, Violating Her

We were setting ourselves up for this one. There's still a debate on legal issues in the comments-- wait, it's interesting, we swear!

We're not controversial for posting it, we're controversial for associating ourselves with the fellow countrymen who produced it.

Was Nicole Kidman Ever Really Pregnant?

Ina Maier — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 20:40:00 GMT

Seriously! There is no human explanation for how a woman who popped out a fully formed being less than two weeks ago is able to look like this.

This is Nicole at over 7 months pregnant, and well, yesterday. White, low-rise, skinny jeans?

We'd say congratulations on the new baby but we're too busy wondering about the physical logistics of this transformation. The only answer we can come up with either involves Tom Cruise and aliens, or that there was never any baby. Either of which might explain why they rejected the big bucks for baby photos. Some of you might say that's good parenting, we say: are you fucking kidding me?

Did Keith and Nicole Name Their Baby Sunday to Spite Tom Cruise?

Emily Farris — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 20:01:00 GMT

Because if so, that would be kind-of great. Not that using your kid to wage a media war against your ex-husband is something to be proud of, but considering Nicole's ex is Tom Cruise, and he is bat-shit crazy, we'd be pretty impressed.

“Nicole is a Catholic, and Sunday was an important religious day for her until she was involved in Scientology,” at source told Scoop. “She’s still bitter about her experience with Scientology and the fact her baby’s name could be perceived as one last jab doesn’t exactly upset her.”

Unfortunately, we don't buy that theory.

We're more likely to believe that Kidman and Urban picked out the name Sunday long before the Monday she was born, because Urban has apparently had already written a song by the same name about the baby.

Does This Future President Have A Crush?

Brian Fairbanks — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 20:00:00 GMT

Which Presidential candidate is keeping up an e-mail correspondence with a busty young Hollywood starlet?

"I am engaged to Barack Obama,” she said back in January... “My heart belongs to Barack.”

Scarlett Johansson, star of will.i.am's famous "Yes, We Can" video for Barack Obama, has been exchanging e-mails with the Presidential candidate. It all started a few months back when she met him at an event:

“The most time I spent with him was the first time I met him, at a private event for supporters,” she said. “After that, it’s been a few minutes here, a few minutes there on the trail.”

They continued their chats by e-mail, starting with some messages from Scarlett congratulaing him on escaping from the ABC debate relatively unscathed. Obama kept writing back.

His replies have been thoughtful, she said, more than a brief line or two; on the ABC debate, he responded that the questioning was “difficult” and he was being pounded on “one silly question after another.”

Johansson is somewhat shocked that he keeps up their back-and-forth correspondence. “You’d imagine that someone like the senator who is constantly traveling and constantly ‘on’ — how can he return these personal e-mails?”

Scarlett-- it's because of your boobs! Duh! Oh, and because it's probably a body person actually writing them, but whatever.

Sydney Pollack, One of The Great Directors, Dies At 73

Brian Fairbanks — Tue, 27 May 2008 14:00:00 GMT

Sydney Pollack died Monday of cancer at age 73. Recognized recently for playing belligerent bastards in Eyes Wide Shut, Michael Clayton (which he produced), and an episode of Entourage, and previously known for his Best Director Oscar and a host of dynamite movies in the 70s and 80s.

Tootsie. Out of Africa. They Shoot Horses, Don't They? Three Days of the Condor. The Firm. Absence of Malice.

Although we can't entirely pretend movies like The Interpreter, Havana, Sabrina, or his vague involvement with Made of Honor never happened, we are willing to overlook these duds because Sydney Pollack was basically a great Hollywood director and the star of those anti-cellphones-during-movies PSAs they cram between bad soda ads at multiplexes.

Here are links to some of his finest moments, courtesty of YouTube:

The trailer for They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, one of the most memorable damning of all dark comic satires.

One of Pollack's scenes with Dustin Hoffman in his own gem Tootsie, which if you haven't seen is frankly embarrassing.

And the opening titles for Three Days of the Condo r with Robert Redford. This film is set up so masterfully, if you haven't seen it, then you cannot possibly appreciate this 3-minute clip's greatness. Watch it anyway.

Nicole Kidman Pregnancy, Confirmed Therefore it Is

Emily Farris — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 15:02:00 GMT

Everyone in the entire world is reporting that Nicole Kidman is, in fact, finally pregnant. And like our little sister says "Perez Hilton is never wrong." So we're going with it. Plus it's, like, "confirmed."

We hope that she, and Keith Urban, and Scanner Bryan will be very happy.
