Tournament of THG Couples Edition: Who Made the Quarterfinals?

The opening round of the Tournament of THG: Couples Edition is in the books. The first-round matchups featured one big upset, with #12 seeds Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds knocking off #5 seed Brangelina. That #5 seed is always a death sentence. Here’s a look at where we stand heading into this week’s quarterfinals: The closest matchup so far? One of the perceived favorites, Jay-Z and Beyonce, eking out a win over Jason and Molly from The Bachelor with just 50.4 percent! Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth narrowly edged The Vampire Diaries ‘ Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder, while Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel escaped too. The rest of the matchups were fairly decisive, with 20+ point margins. The four quarterfinal matchups will begin tomorrow with Rob and Kristen against Justin and Jessica, continuing on down the bracket throughout the week. If you haven’t taken part this far, it’s easy. All you have to do is vote for your favorite couple in each poll, so check back with THG each day and do so!

50 Cent to Britney Spears: Congrats, Girl!

Ever since Britney Spears got engaged to Jason Trawick last week, celebrities everywhere – and even K-Fed for that matter – have been wishing her all the best. One of more vocal supporters over the years (really) has been 50 Cent, who told told reporters at the VH1 Divas Celebrates Soul concert in NYC how happy he is. “I am so happy for her,” the rapper said , before musing, “Britney Spears had a rough time. The press took the biggest opportunity ever to dog her.” “When you reach that point, you work really hard to get where she is. It’s very interesting because the public likes to build you to destroy you for entertainment’s sake.” “I’m just really happy for her to be happy.” Fiddy continued by saying he thinks Britney is ready to be married for a third time (before K-Fed, she wed high school pal Jason Alexander for 55 hours). “I hope she is,” he remarked. “Wouldn’t you like to hope that? Let’s just put that out there in the universe, that she is ready.” She seems it. She and Jason Trawick, her former agent, were close long before they were a couple, and he’s been an enormously positive influence on her. [Photo: WENN.com]

North Korea Releases Fake "News" Footage of People Supposedly Mourning Kim Jong Il

Kim Jong Il may have eschewed free markets, civil rights, and even FOOD for the citizens of North Korean, but the man pulled out all the stops when it came to acting classes! How else do you explain this video? Supposedly taken just after Kim Jong Il died , the footage – released by the isolationist, communist cesspool’s state-run media – shows millions mourning the “Dear Leader.” A couple of theories here: 1. They actually just saw a screening of The Notebook , and the government passed it off as a response to Kim’s death, or 2. Armed military personnel promised to let them eat this week if they put on a good show. Either way, these people look sad! North Koreans Mourning Kim Jong Il
