Jeremy Renner Refers to Kardashians as "Ridiculous, Stupid People"

Jeremy Renner is the latest true star to go off on Kim Kardashian and her family. First, Daniel Craig referred to the Kardashians as ” f-cking idiots .” Then, of course, it was Jon Hamm’s turn to slam Kim in particular . More recently, – in a wide-ranging interview with The Guardian that delves into the impressive path this Oscar nominee has traveled – Renner was asked about The First Family of Reality Television and held nothing back in his response: He referred to Kim, Khloe and company as “those ridiculous people with zero talent who spend their lives making sure everyone knows their name. Those stupid, stupid people.” Renner is enjoying a tremendous 2012, having starred in mega hits such as The Avengers and The Bourne Legacy . But we think this is his best move yet.

Could This Kickstarter Project About Chris Crocker Yield the Definitive Doc of the YouTube-Era?

In 2007, a 19-year-old from Tennessee named Chris Crocker used YouTube to defend a mildly disturbed pop star named Britney Spears. His efforts didn’t quite sway her detractors, but the gargantuan amount of attention he received for yelling, “Leave Britney Alone” proved that YouTube was a startup starmaker — and you only needed a camera and a computer to plug yourself into its intergalactic Jumbotron. Now, a new documentary called Me At the Zoo about the platinum-topped viral phenom needs Kickstarter cash to finish production. Could your investment be worth it?

REVIEW: Final Destination 5 Combines Wit and Morbid Excess, and Somehow It Works

In his 1998 article about the crash of ValuJet Flight 592 into the Florida Everglades, William Langwiesche explains the concept of the “normal accident.” When 105 people die, the public wants answers — a story to make sense of what happened and determine who is to blame. The piece’s ultimate point is that allowances must be made, particularly in a world with as many working parts as ours, for disasters that are not only unforeseen but unavoidable. Laying out the complicated sequence of events that led to an oxygen tank explosion in the plane’s cargo hold, Langwiesche arrives at the conclusion that it may be more dangerous to take extreme measures to avoid what amounts to a series of benign human oversights combined with circumstance than to accept that the universe will occasionally and very casually line up against you. It’s a beautifully wrought and supremely rational argument whose logic might be a source of comfort if it weren’t so horrifying.

Fox Pays Convicted ‘Barefoot Bandit’ $1.4 Million for His Story

Colton Harris-Moore — a teen who spent two years stealing airplanes, boats and cars, evading authorities, and burglarizing homes — is picking up $1.4 million in restitution money to be paid to his victims from Fox for the rights to his story (though he’ll only collect if Fox exercises its options). Known as the ‘Barefoot Bandit” because he once committed a crime without shoes, the convicted Harris-Moore is in jail awaiting trial for an October sentencing which could land him 10 years in jail. The Oscar-winning scribe Dustin Lance Black was hired to write the picture. May I suggest a title? Barefoot in the Clink ? [ Deadline ]

Rooney Mara Totally Fine With Topless Dragon Tattoo Poster

Back in June, Sony released a controversial teaser poster for The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo that featured a topless Rooney Mara and her exposed nipple ring. “I’ve already started to read posts about how hot Rooney [Mara] is with her nipple ring on full display. That’s enough to start my blood boiling,” wrote Women in Hollywood’s Melissa Silverstein in the wonderfully titled post The Pornification of Lisbeth Salander . “Lisbeth [Salander] is not supposed to be hot. That’s one of the reasons why we love her so much.” Responding to the general discontent for the first time, Mara doesn’t necessarily agree.

Stamos may forever be Uncle Jesse to viewers of that sitcom, but he possesses an extensive singing background, having starred in Broadway musicals such as Bye, Bye Birdie and Cabaret . Stamos will be the latest big name to guest star on Glee . In just one season on the air, the creative comedy attracted such stars as Neil Patrick Harris, Josh Groban, Olivia Newton-John and Kristin Chenoweth.

Jaime King’s Curly Blonde Bob

Photo Agency How much is too much? Model-turned-actress Jaime King was on-hand at Spike TV's “Scream 2009!” Awards over the weekend, having starred in the 3-D horror flick My Bloody Valentine earlier this year. She looked stunning as ever in a silver Marc Jacobs dress and stabby Christian Louboutin stilettos. The most interesting aspect of King's look was her hair, however. King styled her blonde bob into mega-curls befitting a 1960s starlet, with a voluminous side-part that must have taken hours to tease. It's very retro, very Marilyn, and very…big. What do you think of the look? Vote! More pictures of Jaime King:
