    Excuse me, I need to introduce some bad-assery here for the sake of us all--everyone seems soooo frightened of losing their precious stars and as such shun any hint of dissent. Lame. What's the fun of Gawker if you stifle intelligent polemic?

    Happy Sunday to you too, pet. Ding-ding-ding + ca-ching:
    *"Get your Canadian visas ready..," not "Get your Candian visas ready.."
    *"winter soup," not "Winter soup"
    * "As the sole proprieter of Jackson's only assassination attempt, I wouldn't expect Jackson to be anything but a Coke fan, either."
    *"proprietor," not "proprieter," though it doesn’t matter since the sentence jumped ‘em rails by the time you got to the period.
    *Mike Myers, not "Meyers"
    *Leven Rambin," not "Levin Rambin"
    *Lukas Haas, not "Lucas Haas"
    * "the shit? blow?" not "the shit? Blow?" (Jerze housewives item)
    *You get a pass on Ashley Dupre (it’s "Dupré") because she’s a foxymoron.
    *"..on her man," not "..on her mans." (Chris Rock item, 2nd sentence)
    *Cut xtra apostrophe in "Lil' "Lipgloss" Mama," + she spelled the title of the song "Lip Gloss"
    * "..during her first day on the job," not "..in her first day on the job.." (Sienna Miller item)

    I watched the Chris Rock clip followed immediately by the Dane Cook clip -- and bias notwithstanding, there is no fucking contest. I was having a hard time breathing I was laughing so hard at Chris Rock ... The Dane Cook bit, I cut it off about one minute in.. it was fucking unwatchable. Come on, a whole bit about falling into a lion den at the zoo.. "lulz", no.
