'Jersey Shore' High Five: Angelina Moves Out (Again) - MTV.com

This week's "Jersey Shore" was the gift that kept on giving. We had Snooki's ideal man checklist ("Must dress like me" — wait, you want a dude in a short skirt and a thong?!), we had the Situation's girlfriend picking out sex pajamas before even heading to the club, and we had enough shouts of "T-shirt tiiiiiiime" to have that stupid song in our head for another month. Plus, Angelina said "goodbye" to the "Jersey Shore" house (again!).

Here are five other moments that had me roaring.

5. Canadians Do It Better
The Situation found his perfect girl in Samantha, the Canadian club gal he met last week. Why is Samantha From Up North so perfect for Mike? Well, she fights off other girls who want to get with Mike's abs, she likes a good post-coital egg sandwich just like the boys and, most importantly, she's a screamer.

The sex was so hot (and loud) that Mike exclaimed "I love Canada" to home viewers after he was done smashing it. So congratulations, Alanis Morissette, Celine Dion, Avril Lavigne, Anne Murray and Justin Bieber. You are now the Situation's type: Canadian chicks!

4. Pauly D and Vinny's Duet
Step aside, Rihanna and Eminem. Your collabo is about to get sidelined by the new hit from Pauly D and Vinny, "Hair Song." The verse goes a little something like: "I got a big blowout/ When I have no gel/ I can let my 'fro out/ I take my big boat out!"

Admit it, their ditty has better lyrics than most Ke$ha songs.

3. What the Hell Is Ronnie Doing Here?
No, seriously. Did any of you guys catch Ronnie undoing his pants at the club? It's a blink-and-you-missed-it moment that's worth rewinding your DVR for. Seriously, what the hell was Ronnie doing? I certainly hope he wasn't trying to fist-pump with a body part other than his fist, if you catch my drift.

2. Wake Up!
Coming soon to electronic stores everywhere: the Pauly D Alarm Clock! At least that's what Ronnie thinks should happen. You just know the MTV marketing department is raising an eyebrow to the idea. Think about it. Pauly does have a penchant for waking up the roommates with high-energy "rise and shines." Maybe Ronnie's onto something here. Good thing we own him and his ideas, thanks to the MTV contract. Bwahaha!

1. Back to Staten Island
Angelina finally left the show (confetti!), and while there's some backstory we could get into about how Angelina pissed off all the roommates and blah blah blah, all you really need to know is this: GIRLFIGHT!

Angelina shouted about how fake she thought the "Jersey Shore" cast was, so Snooki defended her reality-show family by taking off her earrings and wrastlin' the "Staten Island Dump" to the floor.

Two rounds later, it was hard to tell who won the fight. Both women looked a hot mess, although Snooki boasted afterward, with pouf half-crooked and half-undone, "I'm still pretty, bitch!" (Whatever you say, Snooks!) This much is for sure: Snooki and Angelina made Gloria Steinem proud.

What was your favorite "Jersey Shore" moment this week? Will you miss Angelina on the show? Leave a comment below or tweet me @jambajim!

Don't miss "Jersey Shore" every Thursday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

Lindsay: Don't Even Think About a Conservatorship - TMZ.com

9/30/2010 2:12 AM PDT by TMZ Staff   Lindsay Lohan has made it clear ... she will personally go to court and fight like hell if anyone tries to put her under a conservatorship ... sources with firsthand knowledge tell TMZ.

Lindsay is saying no matter where she is -- and she's at Betty Ford right now -- she will come to court and go after anyone who tries to create a conservatorship.

But there's one proviso.  Lindsay could end up in rehab for a long time.  There could be problems handling Lindsay's business affairs while Lindsay is otherwise engaged, so there's a real possibility a trust will be created -- at least temporarily -- to handle financial matters.

Spencer Pratt Releases Acclaimed Movie Trailer - The Hollywood Gossip

Tower 69: Malibu Beach Patrol Featuring 3-D Boobs. A classic in the making.

That's the name of the movie Spencer Pratt was filming during his fake estrangement from Heidi Montag. Yes, we're serious, even if we can't believe he is.

In a very unofficial-looking trailer, Pratt presents his magnum opus, which appears to star his friend Cougar Zank and contains some environmental themes.

At least we think so. It's hard to say much of anything conclusively ...

Photog: I'm Partly to Blame for Hilton Hit-n-Run - TMZ.com

9/30/2010 3:30 PM PDT by TMZ Staff   Paris Hilton's boyfriend isn't the only one to blame for last night's vehicular run-in with a female photog on the Sunset Strip -- TMZ has learned the shutterbug is actually admitting partial fault in the matter.

The photog -- Carol Williams -- tells us, "I admit I am at fault as much as him" ... adding that she shouldn't have been "out in the middle of the street" in the first place.

Williams is also shedding light on why she thinks Hilton's BF Cy Waits drove away from Boa Steakhouse after the incident -- saying, "After he rolled over my foot, he rolled the window down and asked if I was fine ... someone else answered for me and said 'yes' and he drove off."

As we previously reported, Waits was cited for a hit-and-run -- and Williams was treated for injuries to her leg.

Williams tells us she's still a big fan of Paris and notes, "I want to take responsibility for my actions.”

Let Me In: A Vampire Remake Worth Welcoming - TIME

Chloe Moretz in Let Me In

Any remake is going be judged, at least by film critics (a notoriously persnickety bunch) against its original. Before press screenings of Let Me In, director Matt Reeves' remake of the spectacular 2008 Swedish vampire film Let the Right One In, there were plenty of rumblings about the pointlessness of producing an American version so soon after a film that was practically perfect in the first place. The word unnecessary hung in the air. (See 90 years of vampires on the screen.)

I backed that sentiment, having been wildly passionate about director Tomas Alfredson's film, an adaption of John Ajvide Lindqvist's novel Let the Right One In. But Let Me In won me over for three reasons. First, it is a good film in its own right, capturing the story's wistful, dark essence if not the spooky art of Alfredson's rendering. Relocated from bleakest Sweden to the wintry American Southwest and reset to the heyday of Ronald Reagan and Boy George, it is still the tale of an eerily beautiful 12 year-old vampire, now named Abby (the remarkably confident and skilled Chloe Moretz of Kick-Ass fame), who moves into a dreary apartment complex with her keeper of sorts, an older man posing as her father (Richard Jenkins, wonderfully sad) and there befriends a boy named Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee). Owen, also 12, has his own problems; he lives in terrible fear of bullying classmates at his dreary Los Alamos middle school. (See TIME's Kick-Ass review.)

Second, of the approximately 150 films I've seen so far this year, I'd use the term necessary to describe about three of them, which makes Reeves' decision to take his own swing at the material at least as justifiable as, say, Jonah Hex. Finally, and most important, there is the matter of my old friend Tom, who would only go see a foreign film with subtitles if he were invited to a Brazilian blockbuster by Gisele Bundchen and she sat in his lap for the entire two hours, whispering sweet Portuguese translations in his ear. Never mind that film is a visual medium and that once you've seen and loved a movie, you don't remember it in another language; you remember it as you felt it. Some people just don't do subtitles. For them, there are remakes.

Alfredson opened his film with snow drifting out of the night sky and the image of a pale blond boy stabbing the air with a knife and muttering a series of threats into the darkness. Reeves, who earlier directed Cloverfield, opens Let Me In with mayhem. A crime suspect with terrible acid burns on his face is rushed to the hospital in the dark of night. A policeman (Elias Koteas) tries and fails to question him; while his back is turned, the suspect tumbles out of a seventh story window, an apparent suicide. At this point, we go back in time two weeks to learn what brought us here. The character of the policeman is entirely new, perhaps to serve that American liking for having someone on the job, investigating, even though in vampireland there are no tidy endings, no courts to eke out justice. His presence, and the flashback, suggests that Reeves believes he has to get the blood pumping early; this is America, darn it. The mystery and the horror have to be bigger.

Although the overall tone of Let Me In is gratifyingly somber, and some scenes play out the same, almost frame by frame, as they do in the original, Reeves' film does feel more like a horror movie than Let the Right One In. A vampire explodes when exposed to sunlight, and Reeves brings us in close to watch her suffer in bloody agony. Lindqvist's original screenplay made her flameout a deliberate choice, and Alfredson shot it like a surreal hallucination. This feels crass in comparison. When Abby is forced to hunt for herself, rather than drink from the gallon jugs of blood Father helpfully procures, she morphs into a CGI creature that looks more bug-like than girl-like. In vampire form, she sounds like Regan from The Exorcist — a shame since Moretz proves throughout that she's plenty capable as an actress of convincing us that Abby is to be feared (and also, loved). But not all of Reeves' choices are unsubtle. Owen lives with his loving but distracted-by-drink mother (Cara Buono, who plays Don Draper's new girlfriend Faye on Mad Men) and Reeves shoots her at angles that never reveal her whole face. She's only half there, as befitting a mother who can only guess at her child's pain.

Let Me In is not as fantastic as Let the Right One In, which you should rent, immediately. But it is undeniably powerful and made with obvious admiration and respect for the source material. And for the subtitle-eschewing Toms of the world — and there are many — Let Me In is a chance to experience a story about finding courage and making choices in the name of devotion, choices which are strange, awful and also beautiful. Two outcasts, one who lives in the permanent misery of the undead, the other in the misery of middle school, find comfort in each other. The latter would be escapable in the coming years, but Owen, like so many adolescents, doesn't see it as temporary. For him, Abby is the right one to let in, although we see the tragedy that awaits him. I'd still take Alfredson's version over Reeves', but I wouldn't close the door in Let Me In's face either.

Jesse Eisenberg's cousin works at Facebook - Hollywood Reporter

Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Zuckerberg

Jesse Eisenberg didn't meet Mark Zuckerberg before portraying him in "The Social Network" -- but his cousin did.

"In the final weeks of filming the movie, my cousin got a great job at Facebook and is now an employee there," Eisenberg told Reuters ahead of the film's wide open Friday. "My cousin told me Mark couldn't have been more gracious toward him."

Zuckerberg, who has said he won't see the movie, which he refers to as "fiction," approached Eiseberg's cousin shortly after he started. [ Related: Inside the Mark Zuckerberg - Social Network PR Battle]

"Mark came up to him at a party during his first week on the job and said: 'I think your cousin is playing me in a movie; that's really cool,' relays Eisenberg. "I couldn't have heard better things from my cousin both personally and professionally about Mark. It coincides with how I feel having played him as well."

Eisenberg says he'd be "very interested to meet" Zuckerberg after spending "six months, 14 hours-a-day filming."
