Justin Bieber’s Abortion Quote Gets Rolling Stone Correction

Remember when the Internet had a collective meltdown over what Justin Bieber said about abortion to Rolling Stone ? Well, the magazine apparently made a slight “editing error” (their words) when it came to his answer. “The full quote, his response to whether abortions should be allowed in cases of rape, reads: ‘Um. Well, I think that’s really sad, but everything happens for a reason. I don’t know how that would be a reason . I guess I haven’t been in that position, so I wouldn’t be able to judge that.'” Do with this information what you will. [ Rolling Stone ]

‘I Am God’: 11 Characters Melodramatically Announcing Who They Are

In the new thriller Unknown , Liam Neeson plays a man who has lost his identity and tries to fit a series of puzzle pieces together in order to regain his life. What Neeson also does, as we’ve all seen in the trailer, is dramatically exclaim his identity: “I am Martin Harris!” (Alas, the louder he yells, the less anyone seems to believe him). But while Martin Harris wins the week for assertive introduction, let’s take a look at 11 other characters who have an affinity for making an entrance by melodramatically declaring who they are.

Report: Late Show Hoodwinked by ‘Friend’ of Lindsay Lohan

Oh, for Christ’s sake: A few hours after David Letterman’s head writers tweeted in stereo that Lindsay Lohan would deliver Thursday’s Late Show Top 10 list, Lohan herself tweeted a denial : “I am NOT going to be doing David Letterman, I’m not sure how this happened, but I am sorry for the confusion…” Aren’t we all — particularly, this morning, CBS.

‘Actresses are Reportedly Human’: New York Times Digs Into Female Celebrity Interview Eating

If you’ve read a celebrity profile about an ingenue in the last few years — or even few weeks — the chances are good that you’ve seen some variation on this introduction: “[Insert starlet here] loves breakfast so much that when I met her for an interview, she was already chowing down on [insert unexpected food here].” Well, courtesy of film publicist Jeremy Walker , there’s finally a term for this ever-present cliché: DIPE.

You’ll recall that Sheen spent 28 minutes on Monday discussing his dislike of sobriety and the Albert Pujols-like value he holds to CBS, but in their latest chat the star seemed most concerned with his Two and a Half Men producer, Chuck Lorre.

Roger Deakins on His True Grit Oscar Nod and the End of Film: ‘Next Year Will Be It’

The startling beauty of Joel and Ethan Coen’s Oscar-nominated True Grit — and in most Coen brothers films, for that matter — owes to frequent collaborator and award-winning cinematographer Roger Deakins, who’s lensed all but one of their films since 1991’s Barton Fink . But as much as the nostalgic Western serves as a throwback to simpler times, simpler heroes (and heroines), and a yearning to stick to one’s principles in the face of obsolescence, True Grit could also mark a wistful point in Deakins career — his last film shot on film.
