Everything old is new again! Only worse. And entirely pointless… Much as we love/heart/want to marry
Heathers (the Winona Ryder / Christian Slater teen comedy from 1988), the thought of TV remake fills us with dread. “So it’s like Gossip Girl meets 90210, and someone dies every week in a fake suicide?”
Filming has begun on the new
Sex and the City movie. Pro-tip: If you have to see it at the cinema, don’t sit in the front row, it really doesn’t do SJP and the other cast any favours. On that note, you should watch this:
American Apparel have finally managed to have one of their ads banned. The ad ran in Vice UK and was rejected because it "could be seen to sexualise a model who appeared to be a child." Um, surprised much? If you want, you can

Miyuki Hatoyama, the wife of Japan’s new Prime Minister was once abducted by aliens. True fact. She even wrote about it in book. “While my body was asleep, I think my soul rode on a triangular-shaped UFO and went to Venus. It was a very beautiful place, and it was very green.”
Chris Brown appeared on

Murdering everyone is fine. Consensual sex – not so much. Take Two, the publisher of the
Grand Theft Auto Series, are coughing up $20 million in damages following a lawsuit about the hidden sex game in
GTA: San Andreas.
Levi Johnston – the guy who knocked up
Sarah Palin’s daughter – has got himself an article in the October issue of Vanity Fair. Also, he’s posing naked-ish for Playgirl magazine. Feel free to start drinking heavily if you work in media.
Google has patented the layout of its homepage following a five year legal battle. Apparently its lack of clutter is a groundbreaking ‘graphical user interface’.
The Pope and his magic red shoes are urging (married) couples to pray before sex…
Oh noes!
Audrina Patridge has quit The Hills to be a serious actress. Her first role? A zombie in
Sorority Row.
That guy who threw his shoe at former US President George W Bush and had the shit kicked out of him by security? Yeah him, he’s been released early for good behaviour.
Want to stab someone in a
Choose Your Own Adventure game on
YouTube? You’re in luck, the UK government has released a new Youtube campaign designed to make kids not stab each other. Obviously we went ahead and irked everyone. You can try your luck here:
M.I.A. performed at that festival in the US and managed
not to stab Jack Black. Her outfit was… well, check out the pics.
Rihanna is in the September issue of Vogue Italia not wearing much.
