1. Ryan Gosling, is that you? WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE? Your beautiful, beautiful face.
Hollywood’s most swoon0worthy star has distressed 20-something women everywhere (and, let’s face it, also a lot of women who are a tad older than that) with his make-up for new film Only God Forgives…
Gosling will be playing an ex-boxer-turned-gangster in the movie, which makes the women of the world a little more forgiving. Who doesn’t love a bad guy right? So long as it’s a bad guy of the Gosling variety rather than the Lord Voldermort or the Hulk.
2. There is a VERY funny side to the Click Frenzy sale and this is it.
3. Elmo has resigned from Sesame Street. Well, to be more precise, Elmo’s puppeteer has resigned – the fluffy red puppet himself would never bail on Big Bird, Bert, Ernie and the Cookie Monster. Kevin Clash, the man who created Elmo’s high-pitched voice and child-like persona (and we KNOW that all of you who’ve ever bought your kids a ‘Tickle Me Elmo’ are reading the rest of this text in that EXACT voice) resigned from the show in the wake of an allegation that he had sex with an underaged youth.
This from Sydney Morning Herald:
A lawsuit filed on Tuesday in federal court in New York accuses Clash of sexual abuse of a second youth. The lawsuit alleges that Cecil Singleton, then 15 and now an adult, was persuaded by Clash to meet for sexual encounters.
In a statement on Tuesday, Sesame Workshop said “the controversy surrounding Kevin’s personal life has become a distraction that none of us want,” leading Clash to conclude “that he can no longer be effective in his job.”
“This is a sad day for Sesame Street,” the statement said.
