My scariest moment living in New York City was the time I passed by a crowd of Beliebers gathering outside Macy’s, waiting to love-attack Justin Bieber the second he stepped outside. I could feel the braced-face-excitement and hormonal energy in the air and I just knew any of them would happily murder me if I got in their way. So I understand the fear that the owner of the Hit Factory in Miami must have felt when he saw a group of Beliebers start to stake out his recording studio.

However I don’t understand why he chose to call the cops to have the girls arrested. He claims that they already cost him $10,000 in damages from their stampede during Bieber’s topless skateboard show over the weekend. Which totally might be true.

But do you really want to get on the bad side of girls who say things like this: “I touched his hand, he smells like cotton candy!”

These are not the words of rational, level-headed girls. These are the words of girls who are beyond reason. Girls, in fact, who have openly threatened Selena Gomez with death — and if memory serves me right, celebrated that threat with a Twitter hashtag.

I say memory serves me right because it’s hard to keep all their hashtags straight. Beliebers know how to harness the power of social media better than anyone else in the world and I’m honestly pretty impressed with their powers. One wrong move and not only will they threaten to kill you, but they’ll also turn your name into some kind of trendable hashtag that will stick with you for the rest of your life.

These girls are dangerous and I fear to think how this man’s life is about to change. Especially since the cops refused to actually arrest them and they now know that they have law enforcement on their side.

See all the action go down right here:

Starting tomorrow, 100 Simpsons fans are going to attempt what may not be humanly possible: To watch all 500 episodes of the series in a row, in the hopes of breaking the Guinness World Record for consecutive hours of a TV show watched. But with each episode clocking in at the standard 23 minutes, that comes out to eight days or so with no sleep. Insane!

According to the official rules, the aspiring record-breakers are allowed to take rest breaks and eat and drink. (And we assume got to the bathroom?) Twentieth Century Fox is helping to sponsor the event, so there’s the added incentive of getting swag if you make it to the finish line. Oh, and a share of the $10,500 prize.

Interestingly, the 500th episode “At Long Last Leave” airs on February 19.

I don’t know how those fans are gonna handle the sleep deprivation, because when I’m the least bit tired and you plop me in front of the TV, my eyes shut immediately. As the Washington Post points out, the current record holders — they watched almost four days’ worth of 24 in 2010 — looked like the walking dead at the end of their ordeal.

But as Homer Simpson himself once famously said: “TV: Teacher, mother, secret lover.”

On last night’s Hunger Games Fireside Chat podcast, I discovered something I had missed in all the movie news last week: Lionsgate has released the official Hunger Games merchandise! Confoundingly, it’s being sold through what I thought was the defunct video store chain Hollywood Video, but they went all out on this stuff. It’s everything that a dedicated fan would want: Clothing, accessories, props, and action figures.

We pulled our favorite pieces from the collection; when I say “insane,” I mean it less critically and more “I can’t believe they thought of that!” Because it shouldn’t be a secret that if I had more money, I’d probably buy half the stuff here.

As a man who made his mark on literature, and long after his death, film and television too, we thought it only appropriate to rack our brains for some of our favorite Dickens’ movies. While Dickens may be synonymous with Christmas thanks to his novel, A Christmas Carol, his contribution to the Victorian period extends far beyond that famous piece and encompasses almost four decades worth of work. Sadly, he died at only 58 years old, so both his career and life were cut far too short.

However, this isn’t a lecture on Dickens’ literary accomplishments; instead this is six Dickens-inspired films we love that you may want to see if you haven’t.

When Brandi first hinted a few weeks ago at what goes down at the reunion, she only touched upon the Taylor stuff briefly. She confirmed to LynnNChicago that the two did have a disagreement: “She asked me a question, and then didn’t like my answer.” It’s likely she was talking about what happened when host Andy Cohen asked Brandi about her problems with Taylor.

We know that earlier in the season, Taylor was furious with Camille Grammer for talking about the abuse on-camera; she was terrified that Russell would use that to hurt her and their daughter Kennedy. Earlier in the season, Russell sent Camille a threatening e-mail promising legal action if she talked about their marital problems. However, in response to Andy’s question, Brandi revealed that she’d run into Russell, who told her that Taylor ordered him to threaten Camille.

Taylor immediately threw it back on Brandi, pointing out that she’d slit ex-husband Eddie Cibrian‘s tires. You gotta hand it to Brandi, she easily admitted doing it but added that it was an impulsive gesture and she told him before he could ride the motorbike and potentially hurt himself.

But things got ugly when Brandi started snarking on Taylor about her book Hiding from Reality: My Story of Love, Loss, and Finding the Courage Within—which is out today.

Brandi: “When does the book come out? How long has it been?”
Andy: “Why do you have a problem with Taylor releasing the book?”
Brandi: “It’s been a hot minute.”
Taylor: “Three women die every single day from domestic violence. You want me to wait another month, so 100 women die?”
Brandi: “This is about your daughter and Russell.”
Taylor: “No, it’s not… This is not your business.”
Brandi: “You’ve made it the world’s business!”

Then Kyle decided to butt in and act all sanctimonious, even though — and I never thought I’d say this — Brandi’s reasoning sounds the most sensitive.

Kyle: “Someone died.”
Brandi: “Let him rest in peace.”
Kyle: “Do not judge until you’ve walked in someone else’s shoes… Wow, you just came in, you are Angry Spice.”

First of all, I’d like to point out that I know you’re a happily married man with four daughters. I’m aware that this may stand in the way of our life together, but I’d also like to point out that Spencer Tracy was married the entire time he was with Katharine Hepburn, so sometimes love can be a bit complicated. But I love complicated, I live complicated, I’ll even get the word ‘complicated’ tattooed on my arm as a permanent sign of devotion to you and our future together.

I know we’ve never met and my crush on you is based on your roles in movies, and according to my friends and family, movies are not real, but I don’t think that means we don’t have a shot at something great. Do you know how many times I’ve watched Beginners in the last three months? I don’t either, but I’m sure it’s more than 25. I bet you like cake, right? Well, I like cake too! Wait, you like frosting on your cake, right? Come on, I know you must! Because you’re not going to believe this, but I like, actually I take that back, I love frosting on my cake, too! How funny is that? It’s not often you find people who like cake and frosting. It’s like finding a pearl in a vast desolate ocean that, to be honest, is what my life is like without you.

Although as a New Yorker I have an automatic aversion to Los Angeles, I want you to know I’ll move there to be closer to you. I just renewed my driver’s license, so I could re-learn how to drive and within a few months, I’ll be able to tackle those freeways like an expert. Granted, I don’t expect to do much driving, since we’ll be living together and therefore, I won’t have a reason to stray too far, but if you’re on the set one day I can come visit. I will bring snacks.

Ewan, let’s just get straight to the heart of things, shall we? I have loved you since Trainspotting. I not only saw it in the movie theater with my boyfriend at the time — who doesn’t hold a candle to you, so no worries there — but all of junior year in college I had a poster of you from the movie on my wall right above my bed. Every night I’d softly coo “goodnight Ewan,” and although you were just made of paper, I knew that somewhere in the world you were feeling my embrace of love through the air, because love travels through the air, of course.

Did I mention that besides the French accent, the Scottish accent is the only one I really love? Well, it is. Which brings me to your voice and laugh, do you know how adorable they are and how adorable my voice and laugh are, too? Just some more further proof over which you can ponder as to why we’re a match made in heaven.

Sure, I might be slightly unhinged and a blogger who hides away from most of the world in my one-bedroom flat, and maybe I’m not the tallest or skinniest of ladies, but when it comes to connection, real connection, and what unites us, my looks have nothing to do with it. All that matters at the end of the day, Ewan, is your looks and those insanely beautiful blue eyes. I have blue eyes by the way, too.

I feel I should wrap things up at this point. I don’t want to come on too strong, and since I plan on sending you a letter everyday until I hear back from you, I’ll have plenty of time to cover all the other ways in which we are so obviously soulmates. You’ll come around to it; I know you will. Sometimes things are plain as day, but it just takes a year full of letters to prove it so.

Yours,

Amanda

This episode could be reduced to a few simple questions like, “Where’s Blair?”  Or, “Have you seen Blair?” Or, “If you don’t tell me where Blair is, I’ll do something terrible to you.” Other than that, nothing happened. Nothing. When the reruns air, I’d change this episode’s title to: “Dan and Blair Sit Around in an Airport and then a Hotel While Other People Wonder Where They Are.” See, you read that and you don’t even need to watch. I just saved America 42 minutes. I hope that time’s used well. With that in mind, here’s this week’s power ranking for 5×14:

Yesterday was the annual Oscars Luncheon; an opportunity to eat wonderful food while sizing up your competition in a professional and jovial environment.  While we were not invited this year we can only imagine it’s full of polite conversation, golf claps and a few over inflated egos. While I didn’t spot that attention whoring dog from The Artist in any of the photos, I can only imagine he was there demanding all kinds of organic low-fat dog food flown in from the French countryside.

At some point during the festivities, they all gathered together for a group photo. Or as I would call it, the power Facebook upload. Throw that thing causally on your wall and you’re basically guaranteed a few likes. However, just  because they’re multi-millionaire Oscar nominees doesn’t mean they’ve figured out how to take a group photo. Sure no one blinked, but it looks like a classic case of “what camera should I be smiling at now?” Some people are looking to the left, others are looking to the right and others are looking straight ahead. Celebrities have difficulty taking group photos. They ARE just like us!

Just as Yoko did before her, Gisele is stepping in between Tom Brady and his teammates after the Patriots lost to the NY Giants this past weekend. Shortly after the game ended, Gisele was caught on tape saying:

“My husband can not fucking throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time,” she said while waiting for the elevator to leave the VIP suites at Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Stadium. “I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times.”

Of course the “they” in this situation would be Brady’s teammates who, of course, were “disappointed” in her comments and passing of blame. TMZ says sources within the Patriots organization are claiming Gisele “violated a code of brotherhood,” by making the unnecessary statements.

It had been just days before that Gisele sent out an email to friends and family of the couple asking everyone to “pray” for Brady and his teammates so they could win the Super Bowl — a lot of good that email did.

Although you have to hand it to Gisele for standing by her man, she’s not really handling herself the right way. Sure it’s great to reassure your husband that “You played the best game of your life … you were amazing,” but to shit on the other players who worked just as hard is a low blow, especially to a bunch of guys who are already feeling the pangs of defeat.

So Gisele, you may want to take a look at what you’re possibly doing to your husband’s career. No wants to see Tom booted from the Patriots and you don’t want to have your name replaced in the phrase “pulling a Yoko.” No offense, but “pulling a Gisele,” just doesn’t have the same ring.

Ever since M.I.A channeled her inner middle school tween and flipped her middle finger at the Super Bowl halftime show, the world’s turned upside down. Not only did millions of innocent children learn the meaning of the middle finger, but the Parents Television Council typed their middles fingers off letting the world know that they would not sleep until justice was served and/or their children spontaneously combusted from seeing a gay couple kiss on TV. Now, just when we thought the apocalyptic fallout was over, we get word that M.I.A’s splitting up with her fiance and the father of her son,  Benjamin Bronfman.

Apparently M.I.A’s not only a threat to our children, but also her own child. While she’s off shooting paper planes and creating Sri Lankan drama in her native London, her now ex-fiance Bronfman’s been raising her toddler son Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman in New York City without her. An anonymous source claims that M.I.A sometimes goes 6 weeks without seeing her son.

While I fully support working mothers, I also fully support good mothers. Mothers who drop in and see their children at least once a month. Part of M.I.A’s possible reasoning for never seeing her son might be the fact she can’t get into the country.

“…she previously had trouble entering the U.S., due to controversial remarks she’s made about conflict in her parents’ native Sri Lanka and her father’s alleged links to the terrorist group Tamil Tigers.

M.I.A. told Fader magazine in 2010 that she refused to get her green card by simply marrying Bronfman.

“That’s what they want me to do, but I’m not going to lose my integrity for that s—,” she said. “I actually want a nice wedding. I’m not going to blow that.”

Then again, after reading that it seems like M.I.A’s priorities might be throwing an awesome wedding over getting a green card so she can enter the country to see her child. I’m a woman and I’m on Pinterest, so naturally I’m all for nice weddings. But I’m also for being a good mother. She doesn’t have to give up her career, but it would be nice if she sacrificed one-of-a-kind wedding centerpieces to watch her one-of-a-kind child grow up.

So in conclusion M.I.A managed to get her paperwork together for the Super Bowl, but not for her son. It’s safe to say that her middle finger was meant for him.
