Remember how actor Terrence Howard told Elle magazine's Andrew Goldman that he breaks up with any girl who uses only regular toilet paper and not baby wipes after going to the bathroom? Well, today we stopped by a press call for Howard's new movie, the war comedy The Hunting Party, and took the opportunity to ask the actor about it. Mr. Howard's answer... after the jump. More »
