Shia LeBoeuf vs. Oliver Stone
A discussion on the set of Wall Street - Money Never Sleeps: Wall Street - Labeouf Describes Confrontation With Stone:
When appearing at promotional events with the actors in their movies, directors frequently assert that they welcome their suggestions for dialogue changes. But at Monday night's premiere of Wall Street in New York, Shia LaBeouf indicated that Oliver Stone may not be so receptive. As related today by New York magazine's Vulture blog, LaBeouf told reporters at the premiere about an incident on the set of the movie when he was supposed to say to the character played by Josh Brolin, "You should look at yourself in the mirror first and see yourself. It might scare you." LaBeouf recalled, "I looked at the line for a couple of months and thought I'd go to Oliver and say, 'You look at the mirror' and 'look at yourself.' It's sort of repetitive. Why don't we just cut one of those? Why don't I say, 'Look at yourself. It might scare you.' This is Oliver verbatim. He looks at me and goes, 'I like mirror. I wrote Scarface . Go f**k yourself.'"

1 in 5 Americans believe Obama is a cactus
From The Onion:
According to a poll released Tuesday, nearly 20 percent of U.S. citizens now believe Barack Obama is a cactus, the most Americans to identify the president as a water- retaining desert plant since he took office.
The poll, conducted by the Pew Research Center, found a sharp rise in the number of Americans who say they firmly believe Obama was either born a cactus, became a cactus during his youth, or has questionable links to the Cactaceae family.
"We asked people of varying races, ages, and backgrounds the same question: 'What is President Barack Obama?'" Pew spokeswoman Jodi Miller told reporters. "And a fifth of them responded, 'A cactus.'"

Taiwanese CGI re-enactment of the day: Paris hilton avoids jail
Paris Hilton avoids stint in jail:
Earlier today, American socialite Paris Hilton appeared in a Las Vegas court to plead guilty for two misdemeanors after being caught with cocaine last month. She received one year of probation, a $2,000 fine and 200 hours of community service. She will be put away for a year if she violated her probation.
The 29-year-old has a knack of getting out of trouble, as she also has a history of blaming others. During the World Cup in South Africa, Hilton was arrested for marijuana possession but blamed her friend Jennifer Rovero. In Corsica, France, Hilton was caught with less than a gram of marijuana and was let go. In 2007, Hilton served 23 out of her 45-day sentence for reckless driving.

Hot online game of the day: Minecraft
Minecraft is an indie MMO sandbox video game.

Viral video star Antoine Dodson buys a house with the 'Bed Intruder' song money
He became huge this summer after he chased a would-be rapist out of his sister's bedroom. He became even huger after the Gregory Brothers turned his speech into an auto-tune song and posted it on iTunes for sale, promising him half of the earnings. Here's the song, in case you've missed it:
He and his family are gonna live in a rapist-free neighborhood from now.
He spoke to UsMagazine:
