Norfolk, Va. — More than 45,000 young voters have spoken, and actor Natalie Portman and Good Charlotte’s Benji Madden have been selected as winners of the second annual “World’s Sexiest Vegetarians” online contest held by peta2—PETA’s Youth Division.

Russell Crowe Did Not Call Sharon Stone An ‘Orangutan’ is a headline I read today. What type of news is that?
Is this the same type of comment like, “When did you stop beating your wife?” This isn’t journalism. Anna Paquin is not a slimy porn star.

When did Brad Pitt stop hitting Jolie? Probably when she laid him out.
Tom Cruise did not call Tatyana Simanava a pathogenic liar. Nope he sure didn’t.
Halle Berry did not call O.J. Simpson for a late night date.
Michelle Rodriguez from Lost, did not pose with Lindsay Lohan in Playboy.

Brad Pitt did not Ask Natalie Portman on a Date

“I stayed in the accent all the time,” she said. “They told me that’s the best way to get the tune and rhythm. But then my mum said, ‘Really, Natalie, enough already. This is crazy’.”
