Lady Gaga apparently had so much fun in Rio that she got a tattoo to commemorate her good times. Then, according to her Twitter account, she and her friends inexplicably burned the entire city to the ground. “Tonight, the love we made set Rio in Flames,” tweet taunted Gaga. “I’ll never forget that show Brazil. You Are the City of God.” Sadly, we must report this morning that nothing lives in what was once called the Latin Paradise. Rio de Janeiro has been wiped off the Earth. [ONTD]
- Some hotshot movie producer comes to you (you are an even hottier-shottier movie producer in this scenario — congratulations on your successful life choices) and says, “I have this movie I want to make about a lonely Boston bartender who plucks an abandoned puppy out of a garbage can and subsequently becomes the target of the dog’s abusive and mentally unstable former owner, while simultaneously getting tangled up in a criminal conspiracy involving the mob-owners of his speakeasy.” You say something like, “Meh,” and start wondering whether or not you can get Michael Bay to make a movie about Transformers that transform into puppies called “Transpuppies” (working title). Then the slick-haired movie producer says unctuously, “And I want Tom Hardy to play the puppy-rescuer.” Sold, you think you say, but really, you are too overcome with joy to do anything but chew your own tongue, much the way a teething puppy, cradled in Tom Hardy’s his sleeveless arms would chew on a bone.
