Morning Meme: Jean-Paul Gaultier Reminisces, "The Hurt Locker" Mockers, and "The Runaways" May Cause You To Do Just That

Who went and gave ABC Family a stack of money? When I heard they got the first broadcast window for Alice In Wonderland it wasn’t a big deal, since parent company Disney was just taking $20 million from their left pocket and moving it into the right pocket. But they also shelled out an unknown amount of real money to Warner Bros. to get the same rights to The Blind Side. Shame they can’t afford to buy Griffin a story on The Secret Life of an American Teenager.

A new study says that people lie about the same amount on online dating sites as they do in real life, some a lot, most less. Obviously the study failed to include Manhunt.

Spartacus: Blood and Sand slipped under a million viewers for Friday’s premiere broadcast, but since the million was a record, they weren’t off series highs by much. Oddly, Caprica picked up the few viewers that Spartacus lost. It’s called a DVR, people.

DC Agenda catches up with Joe Novotny, the bearded bearish guy who just became the first openly gay U.S. House reading clerk.

The Hurt Locker cleaned up at the Oscars, which means it’s time for all the haters to pick it apart. First, Gawker put up a video with a huge number of background inconsistencies in the movie. And now we find a review of the movie by someone who never saw it but seems to think it’s a really depressing spinoff of Saved by the Bell.

Bil Browning of The Bilerico Project is doing his own version of a hunger strike until Neil Patrick Harris acknowledges his affections. It’s funnier than I expected – you can’t spend all your time fighting for equal rights.

A woman in Florida was arrested for rear ending another vehicle because she was distracted by shaving her bikini line while driving. Unsurprisingly she was unlicensed, uninsured and on parole. But she was exceptionally well groomed.

I’ve covered the beefcake for the Hawaii Five-O reboot on CBS with Daniel Dae Kim and Alex O’Loughlin, but we’ve finally got some heart to go with our hunk. Jean Smart is joining in a recurring role as the governor of Hawaii.

The folks at E! dropped a little bit of scoop about our favorite shows. First, they have a strong rumor that Justin Timberlake will be the latest bit of stuntcasting on Glee. She then goes on to say an upcoming Modern Family will have Cameron and Gloria hitting the town for a wild party night. I want to know if I can come along.

From the teaser picture, you can help ruin one child’s life. There’s a new Facebook group MY SISTER SAID IF I GET A MILLION FANS SHE WILL NAME HER BABY MEGATRON. Let’s make this happen people.

I thought George Clooney looked slightly stoned at the Oscars (or it could have been extreme boredom like the rest of us). But according to E! it was because he was packing a silver flask in his jacket pocket.

Style icon Jean-Paul Gaultier takes time to dish fashion, Madonna, Lady GaGa, and his quiet homelife with his boyfriend. I think I’d really like to have martinis with this man.

I really don’t know what to say about the fact that Sarah Palin laughs about the fact the she used to slip across the border to Canada to get some of that sweet nationalized health care. The same health care setup she said led to rationing and death panels. She says, "And I think now, isn't that ironic?" Actually, no it’s not. It’s pure evil, and you scare me. 

Cracked has 5 Creepy Ways Video Games Are Trying to Get You Addicted, and they’ve got a point now that it’s not about the cartridges, it’s about the subscriptions.

Gap flipped a store upside down in Canada to launch their own customer loyalty program. But they didn’t stop with sticking mannequins to the ceiling, they also flipped cars out front and a hot dog stand. No idea why they did this other than to get me to talk about it.

Equal time this morning to wish you a happy day.

Spongebob has always always been a curious window on the world. Here we see that the world outside the window is a little bleak. And has the same view as the rest of us have.

All the positive energy of the smiling pets above is gone.

I suppose that if cats had museums, this is what the art would look like.

I'm just going to quote: "The German and Swiss product designers Fabian Nehne and Martin Meier recently finished this pendant light, a consequent translation of the additive colour mixing into an adequate luminaire."

How cool is this simple idea?

I'd like to think I bring a little joy in the lives of a bunch of you. How about you get together and buy me this Koenigsegg Agera. I have no idea what it costs, but there's a good chance it will approach seven figures. But with 910 hp, 0-60 in 3.1 seconds, and a top speed of around 242 mph it really does seem a small price to pay.

Think of the boys who would talk to me if I drove this.

The poster for Kristen Stewart/Dakota Fanning biopic The Runaways has released a bunch of new media, including this poster. But we really do need to ask ourselves: Is this film necessary at all?

Ahh, it was a time of the mullets.

Today's videos follow a theme of blast from the past. First up is the trailer that goes with the poster above. The best thing I can say about The Runaways is it appears to lean heavily on Dakota Fanning.

And secondly, Keanu Reeves tells MTV News that he's trying to get another Bill & Ted movie greenlit. And nobody can tell if he's kidding or not since as Keanu Reeves, his face never changes.

And again revisiting my past, but in a possibly good way, we have the trailer for Tron: Legacy that played before Alice In Wonderland. I have to admit to being excited, and not just for Garrett Hedlund in spandex. In the theater, in 3D, it was stunning.
