Why are ironic tattoos always so light on the funny and heavy on the sad? Maybe it's because, when you really think about it, what this guy has actually done is chosen to sacrifice time, money and bodily injury in order to tell the world that he likes reruns.

This week's Spencer Pratt advice column is an issue near and dear to his heart: "How can I stop feeling bad about banging a celeb?" If we had a dollar for every time we asked ourselves that, we'd be broke, but you can rest assured Spence knows what he's doing. Except replace "celeb" with "D-list reality show pony."

The Chateau Marmont: Where the famous come to eat, drink, sleep, sleep with each other, and generally be creative types. Celebrities like it because, supposedly, their names do not get leaked to gossipy tabloid outlets while they stay there. Except they do. But what’s the real draw of this place, tucked away off Sunset Boulevard?

What's in a name? Unfortunately, when 45 percent of adults in America say celebrity endorsements have an influence on their feelings, a whole lot of sycophancy. Using the Social Security Administration's baby name database, we've found even more evidence to support a theory we've had for a while now: many people are malleable to a fault and willing to make major life decisions based on what's popular.
For instance, in 1991, just one year after Mariah Carey released her debut, self-titled album, Mariah was the 69th most popular girl's name in the US, an appreciable jump from its position in 1989: 563. In 2005, Angelina was the 43rd most popular girl's name; it had been 304th in 1995. Kiefer debuted at 854 in the 1990 rankings of the top 1,000 boy names; two years prior, actor Kiefer Sutherland had starred as a heroic cowboy in Young Guns. Beyonce made its first and only appearance at the 700 spot in 2001.
Of course, as you well know, pop culture won't always positively shift the public opinion. In 2007, about a year after the release of the now-canonical gay film Brokeback Mountain, the name Heath dropped from 778 to 905. In 1989, Lisa was the 55th most popular girl's name in America. That year The Simpsons debuted, and Lisa has lost popularity ever since. In 2007 it was ranked 573rd.
Not at all in the top 1,000 names in the last 100 years: Barf, Cord and Apple.

Even though they've now been apart for half a decade — during which time they both found new lovers and had children — Ben Affleck is still asked to discuss his hugely publicized, failed relationship with JLo. Lucky for his interrogators, it seems the actor and budding director suffers fools much more gladly than many other smart people do:
He says, "If I have a big regret, it was doing the ["Jenny from the Block"] video. But that happened years ago. I've moved on."
But Affleck insists he isn't blaming Lopez for his career nosedive: "It not only makes me look like a petulant fool (to blame Lopez), but it surely qualifies as ungentlemanly? For the record, did she hurt my career? No."

SHMAR POWER "Anyone glancing at 2007 boxoffice numbers might have noticed a striking absence of star power. Only four of the top 25 domestic grossers were driven primarily by movie stars — the lowest number in history. The data captures what is becoming a seismic and industry-reshaping phenomenon: A-list talent is having trouble packing multiplexes based on star wattage alone." What gives, America? Why aren't supercelebs your gods these days? Are we gonna have to sic eagles on your livers until you relearn to friggin' respect rich people?

Pinkberry, Hollywood's favorite frozen yogurt, is in a whole world of trouble today as reports are surfacing that the all-natural snack is anything but. A class-action lawsuit filed against the chain, which is accused of deceptive marketing, revealed that — surprise! — a majority of the yogurt's ingredients, including laboratory-produced sugars, aren't exactly "natural."
But, then again, neither is the majority of Hollywood.
In a survey of over 2,500 adult Americans, 51 percent of respondents said that celebrity endorsements have little to no effect on their feelings toward a product or cause. You're right, that number IS too low, particularly when one considers that 45 percent of those surveyed say celebrities have a "large or positive" influence over their life decisions. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
