afternoon headlines

SKINS – is the new MTV drama, with a cast ranging from 15-19, where everyone gets drunk and has sex, and now some nerds are asking the government to open an investigation to determine if it’s child pornography. I don’t think it is, but I haven’t fucked a 15 year old since I was like 24, so maybe the laws have changed since then. (deadline)

AMERICAN IDOL – on Thursday night was down 9 percent from Wednesday night, which was down 13 percent from last years season premiere. They should just cancel the show right now. Instead of Coke it should be sponsored by Sleepytime Tea. (hollywood reporter)

SACHA BARON COHEN – will not be playing Saddam Hussein in his next movie, as was the rumor yesterday, but will be a fictionalized version of Hussein in a movie based on a book written by Hussein, that “tells the heroic story of a dictator who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed.” Awesome. Everyone loves a good genocide joke. (slate)

JENNA BENTLEY – was down in Hermosa Beach yesterday, and yes this is purely filler bc there were no other good pictures. The paparazzi agency refers to her as a Playmate but I don’t think that’s true. It better not be true, because Julri Waters is a billion times hotter and she’s not a Playmate yet. She should be though. She’s beautiful. And Korean. With G’s. I can’t believe she’s even real. It’s like discovering Superman is real. (pacific coast)
