No joke, but an article up on abcactionnews.com, the Tamba Bay ABC affliate, actually reads “Boozy Bosworth has no memory of sex scene.” Now that’s journalism!

You know what? It’s a short article so I’ll just excerpt the whole thing…

Actress Kate Bosworth has no recollection of her love scene with co-star Jim Sturgess in new gambling film 21 - because she was so drunk.

The Superman Returns star drank to calm her nerves before the revealing scene - but admits she overdid it.

She says, “We were both so drunk. Jim and I became such good friends, we decided to have a couple of drinks, loosen up and go for it.”

Sturgess adds, “We were on Grey Goose (vodka), I think. It was brilliant for about half an hour. As we continued to drink, it just became sloppy and messy. I couldn’t stand up at one point.”

In 21, Bosworth and Sturgess play college students who use their brains to break the bank in Las Vegas.

My question is, how is that experience any different then 95% of all one night stands in this country?

I’ve done it. Against my better judgement I finally “twitted” (is that the proper past tense of ‘to twitter’…i’m not sure). I originally signed up soon after gilgrim did, but actually did nothing with the service(?) due to my fondness for annoying people by not doing what they ask…in this case, not “twitting” because gilgrim said I should.

While I didn’t actually go since I had other plans, I did however get random updates such as this golden little nugget. Felicia Day made a slight slip, which I’m sure the rest of you will find enjoyable.

While I would suggest Kilian add her to his stalkable list, I think Tyco might have beat him to the punch with today’s PA comic.

Late

So I wander over to msnbc.com because I put in my resignation notice today and, therefore, feel less affected by any interwebz constraints placed on the rest of the employees in my office.

What do my eyes gaze upon whilst there? The following headline:

Standup comedy didn’t die with Carlin
Dane Cook, Chris Rock, Jon Stewart are heirs to comic’s throne

You see that first name listed there? Dane Cook? Dane, mother f’ing, no talent hack, Cook?!

Am I alone in feeling that the “coolification” of geek culture has just as much downside as it does upside?

On the one hand, if graphic novels (hipster for COMICS) never got into mainstream popularity we would have never gotten Hollywood to produce something as good as The Dark Knight. On the other hand, if comics had stayed “uncool” I seriously doubt that Paris Hilton would have had any interest in them at all. In this plane of existence, however, where comics are slowly taking over Hollywood, Paris Hilton is developing, with the help of Stan Lee, a superhero based on herself.
