Recently, actor Matt Damon narrated a video for the State Department, addressing the problem of chronic worldwide hunger. The video is extremely well made; those who watch it can’t help but be touched by it.

This first minute of the three-minute video revolves around one problem: Hunger. Poor children are seen dying of starvation, others are lying on the streets of third-world countries, not able to walk. Damon explains that six million children die of hunger every year – needless to say, a shocking statistic.

Even the most egotistical viewer cannot help but get angry at and upset by so much suffering, most of which is needless.

But then, one minute into the video, the subject suddenly changes. We move from dying children to tornadoes and tsunamis. Damon forgets about the children for a while to focus on … you knew it was coming … global warming.

In NY, same-sex marriage bill hangs in balance

ALBANY - The fate of a bill legalizing same-sex marriage is increasingly unclear as nervous state senators eye the 2010 elections with last week's setbacks for gay rights in Maine and a New York House race still fresh in their minds.

In advance of Tuesday's possible vote, advocates on both sides have focused on Republicans because the Democratic majority can only muster 25 to 29 of the 32 votes required for bill adoption in the Senate. Gay marriage comfortably passed the Assembly in May.

*Insert exhausted frustrated commentary here.*

Ok, so what happened was Dan and Vanessa were having Olivia complete a list of '15 Things Kids Should Do In College'. It was Olivia's last day because she has to leave to go film a movie. They were all doing shots at a party and ended up back at Dan's loft in Brooklyn. The last thing on the list that she hasn't completed was "Do a Threesome". They all went around and said if they have ever had one or not. Dan and Vanessa said no and Olivia said yes but that it was for a movie and it didn't actually happen happen. Olivia chugged the rest of her drink and everyone looked at eachother. Olivia started hooking up with Dan as Vanessa watched, then Olivia and Vanessa started hooking up. Then Dan and Vanessa (ew) started to hook up. The next scene they were all in was the three of them asleep in bed (dan in the middle) and Olivia's phone had a text saying that the movie was cancelled, meaning she doesn't have to leave school (aka an extra awkward morning).


I know everyone is going to bitch that it wasn't as big as it was set up to be and even though 99% of the people already expected this, they're going to bitch anyways. However the next episode not only looks really good (btw tonight's episode was really good) but they are going to show flashbacks of the threesome, so along with more scenes (hopefully raunchy) they'll also add 3~.

Now commence the lack of 'hot people in a threesome, the lack of a gay threesome, how gossip girl has no balls, and how gossip girl sucks because they didn't play 3'

Imo I thought the beginning was so awkward and sexy at the same time, I had the weirdest feeling in my stomach. But I liked it and can't wait to see more!! And you all need to remember this is a network show this isn't fucking skinamax or hbo!!!

don't forget yall gaga is on next episode too!!

Thirsty for some Vampire Diaries scoop? Former Reunion eye candy Sean Faris is sinking his teeth into a juicy multi-episode arc on the fangtastic CW hit, sources confirm to me exclusively.

 

Faris will play Ben, an ex-high school football star-turned-bartender at the Mystic Grill. “He’s Matt’s buddy,” says a Vampire insider. “He gets entangled in the group when a broke Matt takes a job at the Mystic Grill.”

The Vamp source also hints at a possible romance between Ben and one of the show’s females. But which one? Let the speculation begin in the comments!

Who bets he'll probably be killed off by the end of that "muti-episodic arc"?

Exactly what qualifies as a cult classic is a point of contention to many. Urban Dictionary describes it in a variety of ways. Including the concise, “A movie that is weird as f*ck.” Oddly, that source of love and mistakes Wikipedia may have the finest definition, claiming a cult movie to be “a film that has acquired a highly devoted but specific group of fans.” Adding pointedly, “(They) have limited but very special, noted appeal.” A movie can gain success and be a cult movie, it just has to be a certain kind of picture, one that breeds ravenous individuals to view them again and again, forming instant friendships with strangers who share that passion. Basically, a cult movie is like an obscenity, you know it when you see it. In continuation of the retrospective of the decade that was in cinema, these are the Top 10 Cult Movies of the Decade, not to be confused with the most popular.
