Amber Tamblyn ( Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants , The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret ) always seemed like a girl with moxie, and I’d guess you don’t fall in with a guy like David Cross without one wicked sense of humor, but even so the depths of awesome that she went to in pranking Tyrese Gibson deserve applause. And boy, what a prank: After receiving an e-mail from the Transformers / Fast 5 star proposing a future collaboration after he mistook her for model Amber Rose on a mutual friend’s email message, Tamblyn had some fun with the musician-actor with a series of original “Awareness Raps.” An excerpt of the exchange, as detailed at the blog Street Boners and TV Carnage : On Feb 26, 2012, at 10:16 AM, Amber Rose T wrote: lol u are so sweet boo I’ve been trying to get this album goin for so long u know how it is.

Eventually Tyrese caught on to the sham and cut off the exchange; Tamblyn gave the following update on her official blog in a post entitled The Tyrese Sessions : I emailed Tyrese one last time yesterday (as myself of course) after he wrote me saying “you took this shit public?! Not cool… not even remotely…” I reiterated that yes I took advantage of a man that took adntage of another man’s cc list… but it’s all good- we should do a song together and laugh at the whole thing. He said my music was “corny as fuck” and no. Now I am 86% sorry, Tyrese. Raise your Maker’s Mark in the air for Amber (Rose) Tamblyn, everyone. Get we get a slow clap going by everyone on the Internet? [ Street Boners and TV Carnage via @QuestLove , @JohnAugust ] Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .
