We’re all about charity here at Jossip. That’s why we give money in the tip jar at Starbucks and have partnered with Bid 2 Beat AIDS for their auction for the third straight year.
Today’s featured item, a poster of the Number 23 signed by Jim Carrey. The Number 23 reminds us of a more optimistic time. Jim Carrey showed remarkable emotional range in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Virginia Madsen seemed posed to start a new career after Sideways. And yet 23 ended up being a movie about a guy who obsessed with Michael Jordan’s jersey number. Still, bid on it for the memories!

We know how confusing the whole Hollywood scene can be. Especially for New Yorkers. Trying to remember who reps who and which agency has split from which or merged with someone else … it can be more difficult that trying to keep track of who Paris Hilton is pretending not to sleep with.
But in today’s focus-on-Hollywood article (which is either about Jim Carrey leaving his agent, Hollywood agents splitting up, or why Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn keep getting cast in horrible movies) the Times includes a very helpful Ven Diagram to explain to us removed New Yorkers exactly how things work.
Unlike Entourage which only confuses us more with their Gold/Miller group – which is completely different from the one represented here – the diagrams really do help.
Just one thing: who gets to keep Jennifer Aniston?
