Tabloid TV shows like Entertainment Tonight aren't the only demanding media outlets who insist that, if you mention a topic they're covering, you MUST CREDIT!!!! them.
Got a pullquote from a statement that was issued to everyone in the press, but that you're claiming as an exclusive? MUST CREDIT and PROVIDE LINK! Got an interview from the sister of a housekeeper who once answered the phone for Adnan Ghalib? PUT OUR TRADEMARK ALL OVER THAT!!
Now Details magazine is in on the fun. Previously respected for their Internet outreach, both internally and through Freud Communications, the Dan Peres pub now has very stringent rules if you even link to their "hot article" about ambisexual Hayden Christensen. CONTINUED »
• Kate Moss has found something better to do with her time than snort coke at clubs or pole dance at Scores. Shop for over-priced vibrators in the village. [Page Six]
• So many writers, and not one can think of a replacement for the most played out word in the media lexicon. [Mediabistro]
• Broadway dancers aren't allowed to let their boobs grow. [Page Six]
• Many tried to put the Sienna Miller and Hayden Christensen rumors to rest — but his "devastated cancer survivor" of a girlfriend seems pretty upset for a situation that "never happened." [R&M]
• Kristen Davis may want to adopt, but she's not currently pregnant. Did anyone explain to her that until she adopts a Cambodian or is in her 18th trimester, nobody cares? [3 am]
• Well, Jude Law moved on, and now we have proof that Sienna Miller has, too. Oh, and that Hayden Christensen isn't gay. Maybe just bi? [Egotastic]
• Ok, it wasn't as bad as when we couldn't find Jake Gyllenhaal, but we are oh so grateful that the Mud truck is back. Not because we ever go to it anymore, but because the thought of its presence is comforting. [Curbed]
• We just knew Maxim India would be a hit … but sold out in 10 days? We definitely don’t want to be in New Dheli when Playboy India hits. [BBC]
• Will you be watching the State of the Union address tonight? If not, you can always just record your own. Oh, ABC. Is there really nothing better to show on TV? [ABC]
• In case you missed it: Oprah did truthiness today. Her interviews with Anderson Cooper and Lisa Ling were such a nice change from the fake writers of yesterweek.
In India, it's perfectly natural for perfectly straight men to caress each other in public, hold hands while walking down the street and hug relentlessly without fear of being called a homo.
Here in America, we don't have that luxury. And neither does Hayden Christensen.
Addressing the notion that his Star Wars film is a jab at George Bush's White House, Hayden Christensen clues us in to some of his notions:
"[I] wouldn't mind giving George Bush a good shaking with my light-saber."
Still doubt our claims, eh?
Gay pride celebrations don't begin till next month, but that didn't keep the v. v. straight Hayden Christensen from landing a liplock with Ewan McGregor at the London premiere of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.
Dialing his publicist now!
Hayden Christensen's publicity machine is running on super unleaded this week, and it's not just because of this space movie thingy he's in. (Well, okay, Star Wars might have something to do with it.) He's been dodging rumors of being gay since he first landed on the red carpet and we all know what his management thinks of that lifestyle entering the public eye.
So they've gone and landed an item in Lloyd Grove's Lowdown tying the Revenge of the Sith action figure to Desperate Housewives star and alleged laxative abuser Eva Longoria.
A Lowdown spywitness reports from the swanky restaurant Le Baoli, the temporary satellite outpost of the New York club PM: "She was hitting on Hayden, big-time. They basically spent the whole night talking and caressing each other in a dark corner with security all around them."
Adds the spy: "They were being discreet, but she was holding his hand, and they left at the same time, around 3:30 a.m."
She had an appointment with the toilet and he had one with the bathhouse.

Hayden Christensen has been forced out of his closet to make a round of press ops for his upcoming Star Wars flic as blogger Just Jared can attest to, including this one on TRL. But remember, he's really, really, really not gay - especially when appearing on the same stage as one Ms. Jennifer "Gay Icon" Lopez.
