One of the best things about New York City is its particularly high population of smart angry people. Dumb angry people are a liability and will get you shot, but smart angry people make everything more fun, and they're all over this dungy, neon island. Whether they're at a party railing against globalization or buying Fear of a Black Planet on vinyl, you'll know smart angry people when you see them. You'll also know their handiwork when it appears.
The smart angry Copyranter recently noticed that one creative NY vandal – or group of vandals – has initiated a backlash against George Clooney and "the ads" for his new film, Leatherheads. No, cutting out Clooney's face and turning these advertisements on themselves won't stop Leatherheads from making millions – I never said smart angry people were effective – but it does make the commutes in the "En Why Dirty See" a little more unique.

Receiving an award from Cosmo appears to be some sort of honor, hence the gathering of the magazine's "fun fearless males" today in New York City.
The group included the likes of John Mayer, Dane Cook, Common, John Krasinski, Tony Romo and Tom from MySpace. We're sure there was some great conversation among Tony, Dane and Mr. Mayer.

See what we're saying?

The worst joke in that torturous one-trick pony Zoolander ("OK, I get it—he's stupid.") was Blue Steel. Aside from being not funny, "the signature look" thing was repetitive and completely absurd. That is, until I saw this photo, which makes me think that people actually do have signature looks. And just like that, dry bit becomes sad, surreal reality.
More signature looks under here.

Last evening, everyone from Samuel L Jackson to Dane Cook (yeesh) turned out for the annual MTV Movie Awards, that glorious time of year when the network transforms itself from being simply a constant commercial for bad pop culture into a vastly more obvious constant commercial for bad pop culture.
Highlights of the evening included very high-minded comedy like a fat guy chasing Sarah Silverman (brilliant!) to Will Ferrell and Sacha Baron Cohen kissing (I mean, men kissing—can you believe it?).
The most inexplicable photo grouping of the night must be Chris Tucker, Victoria Beckham and Bruce Willis, whose mere proximity to one another must have led to a completely unnecessary picture. I guess it's up to you to name the star, the has-been and the never-was.
PS Megan Fox, the awe-inducing beauty from Transformers, will be the new "it" girl. I'm calling "it."
There's a lot more pictures after this jump.

The New York Daily News is reporting that Dunder Mifflin, Inc's most attractive employees, Rashida Jones and John Krasinski, are still an off-screen item.
…the two weren't looking likes exes Monday night at the "Shrek the Third" premiere, in which Krasinski voices Lancelot.
Jones snuck in separately to take her place next to Krasinski in the Chelsea Clearview Cinema. We saw them sitting low in their seats and leaning against each other during the screening. And they left together before the film ended.
In case you don't know, Rashida Jones is a testament to the fact that her father Quincy produces amazing music and daughters.

Where the hell does Heidi Klum get all that energy? Watch this video montage of celebrities doing Karaoke on The Ellen Show (Hugh Jackman, Heidi, John Krasinski, Ellen and Joan Jett, in that order) and tell me how she is soooo freaking bouncy even when she's heavy pregs. Also, she has the voice of an 8 year-old girl. Which is a little bit creepy.
Jenna Fisher from The Office contributed next month's "10 Things You Don't Know About Women" in Esquire and someone who works on the show got the rest of the cast and crew to do a dramatic reading of her list. I've read a lot of those lists, and, to be honest, this might be one of the worst, but the video is still pretty adorable.

Mandy Moore and John Krasinski seem awful close on the set of their new movie, License to Wed. With all the rumors circulating, well, mostly on Perez Hilton, about her supposed break-up with Zach Braff, maybe there's room for a new sitcom star in her life.
Krasinski not only stars on the American version of The Office, but more importantly is from my hometown, played basketball and was friends with with my older brothers throughout their childhood, and went to my high school. If this doesn't make me an expert, I'm not sure what would. He knew me in my middle school years, which is why I feel comfortable making judgements on his sex life based on a paparazzi photo.
Aside: An interesting John Krasinski fact is that his first acting experience was in a senior show that made fun of our school, our town, etc, which was written by none other than The Office co-star B.J. Novak.
Moving on…based on my extensive knowledge of Mr. Krasinski, I'm going to have to say that they are not boning. Yet. They will be just as soon as he makes the call on how long he will be able to stand her over-the-top cutesy personality and plans when to make his move based accordingly on how long they have left of filming together.
