VIDEO: The Situation Offers Bristol Palin a Magnum Condom in Excruciating Safe Sex PSA

I swear I don’t mean to post this much about Dancing with the Stars , but I can’t help that The Situation and Bristol Palin recorded a safe sex PSA together . I definitely can’t. I also can’t help that Bristol gives another performance worthy of the CW hit The Secret Life of the American Thespian , and that The Situation utters, “You’ve got to think before you get yourself into a Situation.” That’s just the beginning. Wait until he puts the “abs” in “abstinence.” This is real.

The Wit & Wisdom of Gossip Girl: Make Me Wanna Die

It took four seasons — well, three seasons and nine episodes — but the Gossip Girl creative team finally produced their worst hour of television ever. Well done, Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage! “Witches of Bushwick” was everything a terrible episode of Gossip Girl normally is — stagnant, convoluted and boring — but with the added bonus of having the three worst characters come out on top. Yep, if you watch Gossip Girl for Vanessa, Jenny and Juliet, this was the episode for you! Wait, no one watches for them?

Academy Announces 14 Also-Rans For Toy Story 3’s Animated Feature Oscar

Is it too early to assume that Toy Story 3 will run away with this year’s Best Animated Feature Oscar? Well, let’s put it this way: If the Pixar blockbuster is somewhere in the middle of the Best Picture pack , and none of the other, just-announced 14 submissions for Animated Feature are even in the Picture conversation, that kind of invalidates the Animation competition as a whole, right?

Here’s Your First Look at Carey Mulligan Playing Daisy Buchanan in Baz Luhrmann’s Great Gatsby

Looks like the rumors were true: Baz Luhrmann has selected Carey Mulligan for the part of Daisy Buchanan in his adaptation of The Great Gatsby . First Spiderman goes British with Andrew Garfield, and now the lead female in one of the greatest modern American novels follows suit. Get it together, America! Along with the announcement, Luhrmann included a picture of Mulligan from rehearsals that gives a taste of what may come. She certainly looks alluring and a bit ethereal here, but what do you think? Is she beautiful enough to completely wreck Leonardo DiCaprio, who is playing Gatsby? Does she trump everyone on the initial not-at-all-short list for the part?
