Afternoon Meme: Danny Miller's Topless Tweets, Josh Duhamel Made Me Laugh, and Is Chris Evans Refusing Spandex?

Plus Paula Abdul takes home an award, the Smurfs go too far, and interesting casting ideas for Spider-Man.

From the “I didn’t see that coming” file we have news that Al and Tipper Gore have separated after 40 years of marriage. In unrelated and less likely news, Bill and Hillary Clinton will celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary this October.

The Strand Craft 122 Yacht is so sleek and streamlined that not only can you not afford it, but they had to go find an incredibly exotic and expensive car to park in the onboard garage for the photo shoot.

Despite claiming in the press over the weekend that his team’s management supported him completely in his “media activities,” the hateful, Jason afraid to have an openly-gay-teammate-see-his-penis Ackermanis has accepted a demotion. He’s also suspended his media activities for three weeks to reflect on what’s happened. The team tried to buy him out and make him go away, but he threatened to sue. Yep, sounds like full support to me.

Peter Orlovsky, longtime partner of Allen Ginsberg, has died of lung cancer at age 76. Orlovsky will be played in James Franco’s upcoming Howl by Aaron Tveit.

Did you ever think it would be wise to take sex advice from WWE fans? Me either. But MMA fans? Now that’s a given.

Broadway World talks to Jeigh Madjus, the cousin-described “Gays for Glee” sensation about his audition video, which got picked up by Pink Satan.

Now that we they managed to get Betty White to host Saturday Night Live, the internet generation thinks it can do anything. But I am intrigued by the campaign lobbying for Community’s Donald Glover to play Peter Parker in the Spider-Man reboot. I don’t actually know his work, but I think it’s an interesting thought that Peter Parker doesn’t automatically have to be the Caucasian Stan Lee originally drew him as. Isn’t it just an extension of gays-playing-straight argument?

As the poster child for old school media , The New York Times seems horrified that Yahoo! just paid $100 million for link bait generator Associated Content, while the Washington Post may have to pay someone to take Newsweek off their hands. I'm trying so hard not to laugh.

It seems that if you work for Google, you better be willing to work on a Mac or a Linux box, because they don’t allow Windows there anymore. Ever since they got hacked via Windows in China, they’re on a campaign to close all their security gaps, and Redmond, Washington is a bigger hole that the sinkhole that recently opened in Guatemala City.

Ted Koppel’s only son has passed away. Our condolences to his family and friends.

Zack Whedon tells a group of fans that a sequel to Doctor Horrible’s Sing-A-Long Blog may have to wait because “some of us have tentatively agreed to helm an all-star mega-blockbuster summer tent-pole extravaganza movie to be released in 2012." So while there may not be a contract for Joss to direct The Avengers, it sound like there will be soon.

A couple pieces of bad news from the set of Smurfs: Azrael appears to be a real cat and not CGI, which limits the role considerably even if she does get held by the sexy Tim Gunn.  Also, they intend to find a way to get Tailor Smurf to say “Make it work.” Bad Hollywood, bad! 

Has Apple become the new evil empire? According to protestors today at Computex, that’s a resounding yes.

Rumor has it Chris Evan’s Captain America costume will resemble baggy fatigues more than skin tight spandex. I protest!

Paula Abdul will receive the “Always Next, Forever Now” honor at Logo’s NewNowNext Awards.

There's really nowhere better to start than a pair of tweets that just won't wait for Twitterwatch. Danny Miller (Aaron, Emmerdale) tweeted that he was ready for the Leeds 10k, but the attached photo was the digital readout from a treadmill. *insert frowny face*. Minutes later, I was smiling.

Or was I drooling?

I'm not entirely sure what's most amusing about this picture, the inventiveness, the fact they decided to heat the water with an open fire, or that there appears to be a line (or is it an audience?) to use it? And what location has that much heavy equipment, but no showers?

Lack of proper bathing facilities keeps me from camping.

It's good to be king of the hill.

I will be the first to admit that this Josh Duhamel/Katherine Heigl movie looks positively awful. Yet another movie where she's forced together with a man she hates by circumstance. Boo-hoo. But there is a moment in this trailer that is such a guy moment, so utterly and completely perfect that I fell out of my chair laughing. No doubt it is the only such moment in the movie, but still, I needed that. I give you Life As We Know It.

MTV keeps trying to go viral in advertising. They have the Les Grossman MTV Movie Awards ads, and now they have these fake PSAs from The Hard Times of RJ Berger, which launches after the Movie Awards. While I find it unlikely that we'll see any telethons to help people suffering from Beautiful People Syndrome anytime soon, with Hollywood involved, their own narcissism may win out.

And for your daily cute, I'm going to show this video of a dog being rescued by a cop after he gets caught in a fence. It's been making the rounds, but it really is the most precious thing I've watched in a week. That, or it just goes to show how dumb dogs are.
