Sir Anthony Hopkins was a little behind the pace when it came to watching the final episode of Breaking Bad, but after what he called a “marathon” of Breaking Bad, Sir Anthony took it upon himself to write Bryan Cranston some fan-mail. He described Cranston’s acting as, “the best acting I have seen – ever”, high praise from the Hannibal Lecter himself.
Well, this is the best worst thing you’ll see today. What we have here is difinitive proof that Rebecca Black was not the puppet master behind her ironic smash hit, “Friday”.

You best believe that when Will Smith is filming out in far-flung locations, he ain’t going to the local motel to spend his nights. No sir. Being the only actor to have had 8 films gross over $100 million – he could afford to make sure that wherever he filmed, he knew he had a […]
Right, so – Sandra Bullock. Whether you watched her in Miss Congeniality, Princess Diaries or 28 Days (or in any other of her countless movies that stretch all the way from the 80’s) you’d have a hard time denying her awesomeness.

Miley, being the embryo that she is, replied to Sinead’s slightly unhinged but nevertheless relavent open letter by posting a screenshot of tweets posted by O’Connor over two years ago, in which she pleads for medication in order to avoid a mental breakdown. Miley went to compare O’Connor to Amanda Bynes, who recently suffered a public mental unravelling. So, naturally Sinead wrote another open letter to Miley on her Facebook page.
