Yes folks, it’s not a festive edition of The Tumblr Trawler and let us tell you why not; Christmas is rubbish. It’s especially rubbish when it comes to memes. Still, here’s this week’s trawl through the briney depths.

5. Replace Face: Want to see what Jason Statham, Danny Trejo & Donald Trump would look like as Russian Generals? Well, we would like to draw your attention to Replace Face.

4. OMG CATS IN SPACE: Is this really, really worth clicking on? We know you like cats and everything but do you really, really want to see a load of cats out in the blackness of space? OF COURSE YOU DO!

3. Feminist Ryan Gosling: Ryan Gosling’s a good feminist guy and wants you to know it. He’s been putting up pictures of himself quoting feminist theory. Oh… what? It’s not actually him? Where’s the appeal then?

2. Barack Obama <3s Gary Busey: Seriously, the most powerful man in the world just can’t go anywhere without his good friend Barack Obama trying to tag along.

1. Nick Clegg Looking Sad: There’s nothing we like to see more at Christmas time than an ineffectual politician with no backbone or discernable policies looking like someone’s just kicked his cat. Here are some images of Nick Clegg having an absolutely awful time. Good.

Despite what you probably think, Will Smith isn't a Nazi. And he certainly doesn't have an Adolf Hitler poster on his bedroom wall that he strokes before he goes to sleep.

That's a stone cold fact. Will Smith legally doesn't have an embarrassing schoolboy infatuation with Adolf Hitler, and if you say he does he'll sue you. And win.

Will Smith has won damages after a news agency ran an article called Smith: Hitler Was A Good Person last year. Great news – by suing, Will Smith has not only fixed a weird misapprehension about his beliefs, but he's also effectively ruled out the rumoured Will Smith Adolf Hitler biopic. Thank god – we're pretty sure the world can live without a rap-lite movie theme-tune containing the phrase 'Indomitable Fuhrer' repeated several times in the chorus.

Some say that Will Smith is the biggest movie star in the world. That's probably true, because his movies always break records and top box offices no matter how brain-damagingly dreadful they are. But even though there are tens of up-and-coming actors waiting to take his place – like Shia LaBeouf and, um, look, let's just pretend that others exist, OK? – Will Smith has decided to use now to speak out on a range on crackpot subjects.

Will Smith giving an endorsement to Scientology and then following it up by handing out Scientology audit passes as wrap gifts on his newest movie set off a few alarms. But then again, if alarms don't go off when a man chronically compelled to only make films about himself saving the world decides to align himself with a faith that believes humans were created when a monster dropped an atom bomb into a volcano. And, clearly, once you've let Scientology into your life, the next logical step is Nazism.

Tom Cruise has done it – his next movie is all about the Nazis. John Travolta is doing it – his next movie is called Look Who's Talking About Exterminating All The Jews – and we heard unsubstantiated rumours about Kirstie Alley eating a colossal swastika burrito formation once, too. But Will Smith? Nazis? Surely he wouldn't be so foolish.

Well, yes and no. In an interview for a Scottish newspaper last year, Will Smith vaguely touched on the subject that Adolf Hitler probably didn't see himself as the most evil man in history all the time, which was regurgitated around the world as headlines like Will Smith Thinks Hitler Is Brilliant, Will Smith Wishes That His Own Father Was More Like Hitler and Will Smith Wants To Exhume Hitler's Corpse, Dress Him Up All Pretty And Kiss Him On The Mouth. Or, more accurately, WENN's Smith: Hitler Was A Good Person.

And Will Smith, alarmed at the deliberate misrepresentation, sued WENN. And now he's won, as The Telegraph reports:

The Hollywood actor Will Smith has received a public apology and damages in the High Court in London over allegations he thought Adolf Hitler was "a good person". Smith, one of the film industry's highest paid stars, was "deeply distressed" after World Entertainment News Network (WENN) published an article last year under the headline "Smith: Hitler was a good person", the High Court heard. Smith's solicitor, Rachel Atkins, said the Men In Black star was wholly misrepresented in his comments and, contrary to the report, "believes that Adolf Hitler was a vile and heinous man".

This ordeal over, Will Smith can now relax in the knowledge that nobody really thinks he has a secret fondness for berserkoid dictators with unlimited power and dangerously unstable egos who are hell-bent on making the world a living misery for all of its inhabitants.

So he'll probably need to get out of the movie business, then.

Will Smith wins damages over 'Hitler was good' slur - Telegraph 

If you ever want to destroy a robot, the easiest thing to do is to mention 'Foxy Brown' and 'good behaviour' to it in the same sentence – you'll flip a switch in its logic-board and send it into a shrieking fiery meltdown.

So, if any robots are reading this, look away now. Foxy Brown has been granted an early release from solitary confinement due to good behaviour. That's right, even though Foxy Brown and good behaviour are like two polar opposites on the moral spectrum, Foxy Brown has been let out of solitary confinement after serving just 40 days of the 76 she was given for her part in a prison fight. Still, at least this way the other inmates at Rikers Island jail will receive the greatest Christmas gift of them all – the gift of Foxy Brown.

No, wait, the greatest gift of all is a Nintendo Wii. The gift of Foxy Brown is actually quite a disappointing gift.

Whatever you think of her, you have to admit that the world was a quieter place with Foxy Brown locked up in solitary confinement in Rikers Island prison. Admittedly it was only quieter because there were fewer screams of pain from people who Foxy Brown had kicked, punched, sprayed with fake-nail glue or slammed in the face with mobile telephones, but that still counts.

Just over a month ago, furious rapping midget Foxy Brown was sentenced to eleven weeks of her one-year jail sentence in solitary confinement after getting in a fight, failing to comply with a drug test and screaming abuse at a prison guard. For 76 long days, Foxy Brown would have nobody but herself for company in a tiny cell; only being allowed to exercise, visit the library or speak to her attorney for one hour a day.

But, possibly because there was nobody close enough for her to lash out at, Foxy Brown apparently behaved well in solitary. Well enough that she's been let out after just 40 to rejoin the prison community at large. And, although it's a lot to take in all at one, it seems as though this period of reflection has been just what Foxy Brown needed to see the error of her ways and start her life afresh with a new positive attitude. According to Foxy Brown's manager Chaz Williams:

"Foxy is out and her spirits never wavered. While in solitary, she continued to answer each and every fan letter. She also told me she wrote some pretty hot songs while there. She's back in the law library and looks forward to ending this chapter in her life."

See? Not only is Foxy Brown keeping in touch with her fans and learning the intricacies of the American legal system – presumably by starting at the chapter entitled Punching Someone In The Face With A Mobile Phone: Good Or Bad? – but she's also got back into songwriting.

There's no release date as yet for the fruits of Foxy Brown's creative burst in solitary, but we've already heard very good things about the new songs. The track Hello Mr Woodlouse (You'll Be My Friend Won't You? Don't Leave Mr Woodlouse I Love You) is apparently very strong.
