Let’s check it out! [vogue]

Charlize Theron Is Single – Such good timing, given the success of Beyonce’s song Single Ladies! So FINALLY Charlize has dropped that Townsend fellow. My God but that was getting tiresome, don’t you agree? I never used to talk about it, but every time I saw images of them together I would get this cold chill down my spine. It just felt so wrong. Anyway, it’s all over now. [dailymail]

The Guardian Set To Clean Up As The Times And Murdoch Head Towards Paywalls – Up until yesterday, no reputable newspaper has truly articulated the reasons for staying free, nor dedicated itself to this model. Vowing to stay free, the Guardian becomes something of a spoiler. It is not outlandish to assume that the New York Times will lose as much as 90% of its traffic, with the Guardian scooping up a tidy piece of that. [newser]

“iTrust” App Perfect For Psycho Girlfriends – Is your girlfriend/boyfriend a psycho? Is she reading your text messages when you’re not around? Never fear, for there is an app called “iTrust” which hides in the background and records any keystrokes made on your iPhone when you’re not there. She’ll argue that you’re the psycho for getting the app, but, you know, let’s get real.. [youtube]

iPad Bashing : Exactly What Happened To The iPod – History shows that the process we are going through is very normal. Phase 1 was the pre-launch hype and speculation of the iPad. Phase 2 is the bashing by the bloggers who’ve never even tried it. And next is Phase 3 : positive reviews, people lining up to buy the thing, and the mysterious disappearance of the basher-bloggers.

London Invictus Premiere Interview With Morgan Freeman – It was the premiere of the South Africa rugby/political movie, Invictus, the other night. The Telegraph caught up with Morgan Freeman, who reveals that playing Nelson Mandela was a dream role. Fair enough. When you’re done with that check out Clint Eastwood’s three dates he took to the premiere. [telegraph]

Rare Interview With Calvin and Hobbes Creator – It is the 15th year since “Calvin and Hobbes” said goodbye to the comics pages. Creator Bill Watterson, who grew up in Chagrin Falls and still makes Greater Cleveland his home, recently answered some questions via e-mail from Plain Dealer reporter John Campanelli. It’s believed to be the first interview with the reclusive artist since 1989. [cleveland]

Toyota Lawsuits Start Pouring In – Toyota Motor Corp is facing a growing number lawsuits from consumers who complain their vehicles suddenly accelerate or may do so, and want the world’s largest automaker to pay for it. U.S. Last week, Toyota stopped selling eight models in the United States and Canada, because of possible unintended acceleration. Not ideal. [reuters]

Action / Reaction : Zuma’s Conduct ‘Undermines His Own Govt’s Message’ – It is disrespectful to discuss the love child said to have been fathered by President Jacob Zuma with the daughter of soccer boss Irvin Khoza, African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) president Julius Malema said on Monday.”We are Africans sitting here, all of us, and Zuma is our father so we are not qualified to talk about that.” [mail&guardian]

Ricky Gervais : Stop Having ‘Useless Kids’ – Gervais also says he’ll be doing a guest stint on the American version of The Office. Not in his future: marriage or kids. “There are too many children,” he opines, particularly those who are poor or unwanted. “What there is, is too many useless people … who shouldn’t have children.” Should we impose some kind of limit? “Yes, based on stupid fat faces,” he replies. “If there’s a woman in leggings, eating chips with a fag in her mouth, sterilize her.” [newser]

Milli Vanilli, 20 Years Later – I know you’ve been dying to know what the original (fake) Milli Vanilli are up to. Twenty years ago in 1990, Fab Morvan won what now very well may be the most controversial Grammy Award ever given out. His group Milli Vanilli was given the Best New Artist award. Months later, when it was admitted that Morvan and partner Rob Pilatus weren’t the ones who sang on hit songs like ‘Blame It On the Rain’ and ‘Girl You Know It’s True,’ their Grammy was taken back and the media and music industry chewed them up and spit them out just as fast as they built them up. Let’s have a uick chat.. [popeater]
