Reason #10000536 why Kristen Stewart is awesome:

Because last night, when everyone else was wearing fancy (and sometimes heinous) dresses at New Moon’s NYC afterparty,  she was in an Alpinestars GT Jacket and a pair of cords.

You can buy it on Alpinestars’ website for $145.

And then you can wear it to New Moon.

And hide inside its hood when the vampire / werewolf battle gets too scary.

Or when you realize you’re surrounded by ten year olds.

(As we did last night at the screening.  Read our review of the movie right here.)

CNN has a step-by-step tutorial for fixing your Facebook page into something more manageable.

Among their tips:

How to reduce your newsfeed, cut out your annoying friend’s updates without nixing them from your network, and how to hide your own “actions” from others.

What they don’t include:

A gentle reminder to creepy old men that Facebooking young women, even if you’ve met them once or twice, is gross and makes you look desperate.

Just putting it out there…

(PS: Are you our Facebook friend?!) 

Kristen: Come on, guys, this isn’t funny.

Taylor:  Sure it is.  Rob, don’t you think it’s funny?

Rob: Yeah, can’t you tell?  Dude, I’m half smiling. That’s like, a big deal for me.

Kristen:  It’s not funny.  You promised.

Rob:  We did not.

Kristen:  You did too!  You promised if I showed up in jeans and a t-shirt to the fancy Twilight party, you would come naked!

Taylor: Kristen, you’re not allowed to say “naked.”

Rob:  He’s right.  This is a kid’s movie. Anyway, you look great.

Kristen:  That’s because I’m in Genetic denim.  And I’m hot.

Taylor:  Kristen, you’re not allowed to  say “hot.”

Rob:  He’s right.  This is a kid’s movie.

We’re sure she’s also reading Hamlet, Moby Dick, and Don Dellilo’s White Noise…

This clip from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia had the office (literally) in tears of laughter.

It’s ridiculous and impossible, but the question remains -

Would you put mittens on your kittens?

Kelly says she’s seriously considering it.

Rebecca says she has no kittens, but she’d wear mittens with kittens on them.

Sounds like a job for Charlotte Ronson!

Today, Marvin said I was “way too involved” in TV.

I shrugged and said “duh.”

After all, if I weren’t addicted to YouTube, Hulu, HBO, and the rest, I wouldn’t be able to direct your attention to this hysterical story in the New York Times (which I read daily, despite the fact that it’s not on TV).

The piece has Jay Alexander, the extreme runway coach from America’s Next Top Model, teaching fashion critic Cathy Horyn how to walk.

Along the way, he gives some basic tips, including walk in front of a mirror, align your head with your shoulders, and never - ever! - stomp and pose.

But he didn’t reveal why or how Naima could possibly have beaten Kahlen in Cycle Four, which would be the true purpose of talking to Miss J.

(Okay, yes, fine, I’m too obsessed with TV… xo faran)

The new ads for Women in Trouble are interesting enough - in the same pill-popping pink as Valley of the Dolls book covers, with Carla Gugino and company looking blonde and rather lost in their underwear.

But a tagger in New York’s East Village has gone a little further, making the girls drip blood from their eyes and nose with a black Sharpie marker.

It’s kind of cool because the poster still looks good with the new graffiti, and also makes it funny -

After all, how many Hot-Chicks-With-Zombies-Or-Vampires have we seen at the movies this year?

If Las Vegas ever has to surrender its gambling license, it could probably become Hollywood No. 2 -

Besides the weakly sweet rom-com What Happens in Vegas (sorry Ashton and Cameron, but whoa), there’s been the Academy Award winning Casino, the actually-not-bad-at-all NBC drama Las Vegas, an episode of The OC filmed on location at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, the crappiest Real World cast ever (except maybe Miami…), the Katy Perry video Waking Up in Vegas, and four movies spawned from Ocean’s Eleven - including the original with Frank Sinatra.

But for those who like their movies smart, messed up, and sometimes impossible to understand, the classic Vegas flick will always be Fear and Loathing, which chases Hunter S. Thompson (played almost too good to be true by Johnny Depp) across the small strip of lucky desert.  It’s funny, sharp, cool, and available now, for free, on Hulu.

Bonus points if you can spot both Christina Ricci and Cameron Diaz in guest roles.

You can download the much-hyped series V - which stands for Visitors, as in Aliens, as in, “Ooh, scary sci-fi TV show” - on iTunes for free.

So we did it, yesterday, and here’s our report:

The first half is pretty cool, with exciting special effects (especially for television), a plausible scenario of giant space ships visiting Earth, and Juliet from LOST coming back as a main character.

But then it turns into a good cop - bad cop movie where everyone chases aliens around New York City with giant stun guns.

Overall, the first episode gets a B Minus -

But we’ll definitely tune in for number two.

(Also, the graphic above has nothing to do with the series - it’s just the first Google Image that came up with the phrase “visitors - aliens” and it’s very cute).
