Look Out Myanmar, Angelina Jolie’s Coming For Your Kids
The good people of Myanmar have been through plenty of strife over recent years, but help is on the way. How so? Humanitarian aid? International sanctions against its military junta? A UN investigation into alleged human rights violations? Oh, don't be daft - we mean that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are probably going to adopt a baby from Myanmar instead. And while that might seem a little halfhearted, it really isn't - once Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have adopted their little Burmese baby, all of Myanmar will be united. Shared resentment of sanctimonious moviestars, that's what really heals a country.

Will Smith Really Is Awfully Bankable
Will Smith's appeal is that he looks comfortable in everything - comedies like Hitch, actioners like Bad Boys. Stinking bags of bumheap like Hancock. Anything. And because of this - plus the way that Will Smith will promote his films by going on every single TV show and laughing so loudly and over-sincerely that he seems like an escaped murderer - that Forbes has called Will Smith the world's most bankable star. So congratulations to Will Smith. And equal congratulations Tatyana Ali from Fresh Prince Of Bel Air, who has been name as the 1,268th most bankable star. Keep living the dream Tatyana!

BAFTA 2009 Red Carpet: The ‘Hecklerspray Fails Miserably’ Video
As we may have mentioned already, last night hecklerspray got to report from the red carpet at the 2009 BAFTAs. And, it's fair to say, we were rubbish. Thanks to a mixture of horrible weather, a position on the BAFTAs red carpet directly opposite all the real journalists and our own genuinely ...
Benjamin Button Is A Literary Rip Off, Says Real Author Who Really Wrote It
In the eighties we pretty much plagiarised the crap out of everything JRR Tolkien ever wrote. Well, we say "plagiarised" loosely. We certainly stole most of his characters, themes and settings, but we made them better by including several direct references to Samuel L Jackson (Frodo keeps babbling about Sam's short role in Spenser: For Hire). Our books were awesome - and Peter Jackson somehow thought so too - because he stole the whole thing and turned it into a fairly popular Hollywood franchise. Minus all the S. Jackson references. Kind of reminds us of current accusatory Benjamin Button goings-on, actually.

Oscars: Jennifer Aniston Wants To Rub Angelina’s Nose In It
Since there's no Rubbish Lowbrow Dog Movie category, you might think that Jennifer Aniston doesn't care about the Oscars. But you'd be completely wrong. Jennifer Aniston does care about the Oscars. She cares about the Oscars so much that she's going to present an award at this year's ceremony. Why? Is it because Jennifer Aniston is a dedicated student of acting who wants to help recognise excellence in filmmaking? No, it's because Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will be there and Jennifer Aniston wants to swan about in a little dress in front of them, cackling like a witch. Obviously.

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie Get All ‘Blah Blah Blah, We’re So Great’
So far this awards season, it looks like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt might come away lighter than expected. Angelina Jolie's Changeling role has consistently lost in all the big awards, while Brad Pitt's Oscar nomination for The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button probably won't come to much. But Brad and Angelina don't care about anything as ephemeral as awards, because they've got something deeper. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have each other. And they said that so many times on the red carpet last night that we're surprised they weren't carried into the auditorium on a tsunami of vomit.

This Just In: Brad Pitt Doesn’t Go To Hospital
Not that it's a slow news day or anything, but it's very important that you know Brad Pitt didn't go to hospital last night. And nor did Angelina Jolie. And nor did any of their kids. But they might have done, after it was reported last night that paramedics were sent to Brad Pitt's house. Or near Brad Pitt's house. Or past it. Or one of the paramedics looked at a picture of Brad Pitt about half an hour before the call. Or something. But Brad Pitt is fine. The reports were all wrong. Nobody went to hospital. It's definitely not a slow news day.
