Aaron Sorkin is all about the words. The screenwriter of The Social Network, Moneyball, A Few Good Men (based on his own play) and the creator of The West Wing, he chooses words carefully and well. He has a gift for crafting clever and intelligent dialogue. It is for this reason that I am truly looking forward to yet another HBO series. This one is called The Newsroom and its amazing cast is headed by Jeff Daniels.

Daniels plays nightly news anchor  Will McAvoy, who much like Howard Beale (Peter Finch) in Network before him (albeit a little quieter and thanks to camera phones, social media and youtube, a lot more publicly) has decided he’s fed up and he’s not gonna take it anymore and has a bit of an epiphany that manifests itself as a meltdown during a Q & A at a university lecture. Naturally, as you can see in the first trailer, this causes a few ongoing problems.

The incredible cast assembled for this thing includes Sam Waterston (yay! I miss Jack McCoy), Emily Mortimer, Alison Pill, Dev Patel, Jon Tenney, Ned Vaughn, Olivia Munn and Jane Fonda as the CEO of the network’s parent company. (Even better than the fact that she gets to play a distaff version of her ex-husband Ted Turner, is the fact that her character’s name, Leona Lansing is taken from the names of two notoriously powerful women, Leona Helmsley and Sherry Lansing – one a bit nicer than the other.)

The Newsroom premieres on HBO Sunday June 24^th   at 10pm

Olivia Munn would rather get naked than wear fur and walks the walk in PETA's latest campaign. She is directly targeting the fur farms in China. Olivia is of Chinese descent and says that in China there are no penalties for:

cramming minks, raccoons, rabbits, foxes, and even cats and dogs into tiny cages and then bludgeoning, suffocating, strangling, or electrocuting them—or even skinning them alive—in order to turn their pelts into fur coats, trim, and trinkets.

I watched this video and I am at a loss for words that animals can be treated so barbarically. As a huge animal lover and in particular a dog lover, I can't find words for this. At all. While I know it is horrific to watch, knowledge is power ultimately.

God bless the poor animals that this was done to past, present and future. It's absolutely heartbreaking.

WARNING: THIS VIDEO IS EXTREMELY GRAPHIC & HORRIFIC

The very sexy Olivia Munn and Los Angeles Lakers’ Kareem Abdul-Jabbar teamed up for this new commercial for Carl’s Jr.  They are known for their super sexy burger ads and this is no exception, they just added a lot of humor in this one.  I love it!

Carl’s Jr. has a new tagline, “just the way it is” and this duo hit the mark in this one.

Watch:

Hot and hilarious, right? Okay, now I am totally craving a messy burger from Carl’s Jr. Thanks a lot guys.

Pierce Brosnan braves the cold temperatures in Manhattan while on the set of his latest film I Don’t Know How She Does It.

This comedy is about: the life of Kate Reddy, a finance executive who is the breadwinner for her husband and two kids and is based on the novel of the same name written by Allison Pearson.

The cast is pretty kick-ass with Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks, Olivia Munn, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kelsey Grammer, Greg Kinnear, Jane Curtin and Seth Myers.

The movie is set to be released in the spring of 2012 in which Sarah Jessica Parker plays the lead role.

You must admit, Pierce looks very handsome in these shots doesn’t he?

This is the second time that these allegations have come up.  So I can’t help but start to think that they are true.

Justin Timberlake allegedly tried to hook up with Oliva Munn over the New Year’s weekend.

An insider told Life & Style that she showed her friends her phone.

“She had several new text messages from Justin on it.  They’d all been sent very recently, the last few weeks of December.  One said, ‘My relationship is basically over.’  The other said, ‘I’m thinking about you.’ There was part of a third that said something like, ‘You don’t understand how hard it is.’ I didn’t see that entire text, so I’m not sure how that sentence ended.  She’s super flattered, but she’s not stupid. She’s not expecting it to go anywhere — but she’d love it if it did!”

Justin’s rep has declined to comment on it.  So what does that mean?  Is JT cheating on Jessica Biel?  Is he a total tard-head like he was in Social Network.  Say it ain’t so!

Olivia Munn is gracing the cover of Maxim for the second time.  This latest issue features the sexy star, oozing sexuality in those sheer, lace panties.  The inside photos are pretty steamy too!

Justin Timberlake Has Been Shagging Olivia Munn

Olivia Munn’s ‘Suck It Wonder Woman’ Book Signing

Munn talks about her new NBC show that debuts this month, Perfect Couples:

“It’s about three different couples and how these six people interact with each other,” she said. “There’s the seemingly normal couple, and then there’s a couple that fights and screams and has sex all the time and suddenly gets back together, and then there’s the seemingly perfect couple. That’s the one I’m in.”

I actually want to check out that one.  It looks cute!  Enjoy the photos:

Could it be?  A cheater?  In Hollywood?  No!!!  Pretty boy, Justin Timberlake is being called out for cheating on his sexy girlfriend, Jessica Biel with the also hot, Olivia Munn. It's so ridiculous.  But I wouldn't be surprised if it was true.  The way marriages and long term relationships are dropping like flies in Hollywood these days, why not?

The Social Network Premiere Goes All Rat Pack In France

Olivia and Justin met at a MySpace event at the end of September when he allegedly got her number and sources have been telling Us Weekly that Justin,

"started chasing her immediately."  And Justin "has been telling people it’s over with Jessica, even though "the reality is he's just doing it behind her back."

So Justin and Olivia went to her hotel, the Gansevoort Park Avenue NYC, for a couple of nights where "they were openly affectionate."  and "had amazing sex."

Well, if they did have sex, I am sure it was amazing.  That Justin is quite the boy toy…. oh sorry, my mind was wandering to the hotel room scene…..

Is it true?  Maybe, maybe not.  Timberlake's rep of course denies it all.  Munn's rep doesn't speak on her personal like.  And well, it's radio silence on Biel's end.  My money says Justin is a naughty boy…..with both of them…..
