Isn’t everyday Megan Fox Awareness Day? Is this really necessary?  From E!Online:

It’s true, everybody! You can’t have too much of a good thing.

Especially when that good thing looks exactly like Megan Fox. And drops wild nonsense in interviews, and walks around wet, and totally bends over in big dumb movies about robots, and then makes ballsy acting choices. Oh, and is Megan Fox.

So when certain sites declare they’ve had enough of a good thing and will abstain from Megan Fox today, we call bull on that. Unlike some, she’s worked hard for her fame, and we’re happy to have her chewing up pop culture scenery.

So E! Online declares Aug. 4 National Megan Fox Awareness Day! While others can’t get their content up, we salute the sharp, unpredictable, lithe and smoldering starlet. And we encourage you to celebrate, too, in whatever way feels right, America!

I just watched this trailer, and I swear I’m crying! This movie looks so great! I want to see it now!! Sandra Bullock looks like she’s done an amazing job!

The Blind Side” depicts the remarkable true story of Michael Oher (Aaron Quinton), a homeless African-American youngster from a broken home, taken in by the Touhys (Sandra Bullock, Tim McGraw), a well-to-do white family who help him fulfill his potential. At the same time, Oher’s presence in the Touhys’ lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of their own.

Living in his new environment, the teen faces a completely different set of challenges to overcome. As a football player and student, Oher works hard and, with the help of his coaches and adopted family, becomes an All-American offensive left tackle. In the latest chapter of his inspiring story, Oher was a First Round draft pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, selected by the Baltimore Ravens. The Touhys were there to share the moment with him.

FYI, Michael signed a $13.8 million, 5-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens last week. He’s just begun his rookie season.

The actual Touhy family and Michael Oher:

Britney Spears has been nominated for not one, not two, not three; well, seven MTV Video Music Awards.

Last year, the pop princess made a brilliant return to the VMA stage when she took home three Moon Men trophies for “Piece of Me.”

And while we hate to remember this…

Could you believe it was only two years ago that Spears solidified her train wreck status at the VMAs in Las Vegas with her disastrous performance of “Gimme More” in front of an audience that included Megan Fox?

This year’s awards will be handed out and broadcast live on MTV from New York’s Radio City Music Hall on September 13. Russell Brand returns as host.

No word yet if Brit will be added to this year’s performance roster, which already includes Taylor Swift, Pink, Green Day and Muse. Additional nominees and performers are expected to be announced later today.

Shia is reading “And Then the Roof Caved In: How Wall Street Greed and Stupidity Brought Capitalism to Its Knees“. Sounds like a fun read! His face says it all!

And Then the Roof Caved In skillfully explores the causes and consequences of the recent financial collapse. Written by David Faber—the award-winning CNBC correspondent—this compelling account is filled with the candid reflections of the people who brought the crisis to life. Expanded from the CNBC documentary that the New York Times called “broad, comprehensive, and compelling,” and that Frank Rich noted as “superbly done,” this book is a must-read.

“Historians investigating the financial collapse of ’08/’09 must begin by reading this book. This is close-range reporting . . . the work of a veteran financial journalist who was ‘present at the creation’ of this crisis. Faber has it all, up close the people, failures, and greed. He tells us what it was like to be on the inside when the roof caved in.”

I can’t wait for Mad Men to start again!!!

Despite the Golden Globes, the endless doxologies from critics, and the blandishments from members of its cult who tell you that you of all people would love it because it’s so smart — there’s a chance you haven’t seen Mad Men, which enters its third season this month. And if you haven’t seen Mad Men, then you can’t understand the totality of Christina Hendricks. On the show, she plays a 1960s secretary, her relentless curves tamped into tight dresses and her hair architected into a copper ziggurat. She bosses around the other girls in the office and electrifies the men who run it, just by sashaying down the hall. The pieces that make up her presence — her voice, smooth as the highway; the look in her eyes, sweet or cunning or both; the way she glides around the office, presiding — make her tower over everyone around her, whether she’s wearing heels or not.

Here, in a hotel restaurant in Los Angeles, the elements are the same — the red hair, the pristine, pale swath of skin between her shoulders, the long legs, the doe eyes. But the hair is loose, pinned up in a hurry. There’s a high-pitched laugh. The thirty-four-year-old actress is sitting comfortably in jeans and a loose top, in a private dining room, at a long table that’s set for ten. It’s an odd time to eat — three on a Saturday — but Christina’s day is just beginning. Shooting for Mad Men ran late last night, and she went to bed close to sunrise.

ESQ: Do you like to cook?

CH: I love to cook. I just got a deep fryer, and it’s amazing. The first night we got it, we made homemade poppers. I mean, what’s the best deep-fried thing ever? Cheese poppers.

ESQ: Do you drink while you cook? Watching Mad Men always makes me want to drink.

CH: I love cocktails. My specialty drink is a gimlet with a little egg white in it so it gets frothy. I really like rose water — sometimes I’ll add it to champagne. I was at a bar recently and the manager came up to me and said, “We have a drink named after you!” The Joan Holloway. There was Campari in it. People are throwing these Mad Men — themed parties because, I think, it’s an excuse to get dressed up and drink and smoke.

ESQ: What do you smoke on the set?

CH: Herbal cigarettes. They’re disgusting.

ESQ: Do you wear the undergarments of the day?

CH: Oh, yeah, they’re all the authentic girdles, and we wear the longline bras, with boning.

ESQ: Boning?

CH: It’s like what’s in a corset — it has these long strips of plastic or metal that keep everything [pauses], you know. Oh, yeah — it’s supercomfortable. And then the authentic stockings, with the garters, and then a slip and then our dress. From my girdle and my garters last night, I have two bruises on the top of my legs. From being in it for seventeen hours. Women did that.

ESQ: Why do you think you got the part of the bossy secretary?

CH: Matt Weiner, the creator, had thought of Joan as pinched and tightly wound, but she’s more of a sort of sexual character. I just went in and did the character as I had read her, which was bossy, brassy, everyone-listen-to-me. And then when wardrobe got involved, doing the pilot, I put on this dress, and all of the sudden I had a different walk than I normally had, and Matt turned to me and said, “That’s Joan.” I have my hair brought up a couple inches, and I have heels. I look like an Amazon.

ESQ: But you seem to embrace the fact that you’re not this little waify nothing.

CH: This is the way I’m built, and I feel beautiful. It’s funny, because I don’t feel like I look that different from anybody. Everyone’s always like, “You’re so much smaller in person!”

ESQ: Must be the boning.

CH: And the bras and all that.

ESQ: Even besides Joan, the show drips with sex.

CH: Because there’s something in what you don’t see. There’s restraint. I’ve had people say to me, “My husband and I watch it and we always have sex afterwards.” I think it’s really hot that some of the things it’s stirring up in people are very naughty things.

The waitress asks how everything is and Hendricks is honest. She says the noodles are overcooked. While blinking.

CH: I have this habit of, when they ask me if it was good, I tell them when it’s not.

ESQ: I think they’d want to know.

CH: I don’t mean to cause a ruckus. They’re probably saying “God, that girl from Mad Men is so fussy.”

ESQ: Are you a ruckus-causer?

CH: I have a problem keeping my mouth shut. I usually speak my mind. I’m trying to learn my lesson.
