Zooey Deschanel, who I often forget is pretty cool, spoke truthy words about how horrible the Internet can be in this month’s Marie Claire. (After all, noted Zooey Deschanel 1.0 Mary Louise Parker quit over it.)
“It’s just attacking who I am. A lot of times it doesn’t have to do with what I get paid to do. It has to do with, ‘Oh, you stupid person.’ Even I get slammed and overwhelmed by how negative the Internet can get, and I’m an adult. They say, ‘You don’t belong, you don’t deserve this because here’s why, and let me find an intellectual argument for why you wearing pink or cuff sleeves or a bow makes you not worthy of your accomplishments. Everything you’ve done doesn’t matter because you wore the wrong thing or you speak in a way that’s feminine or you identify yourself as feminine.
And I just think that’s bullshit. And smart people are doing it, and that’s surprising to me. I’ll give them being smart, but they’re being very shortsighted. I don’t pay any mind to it, but it’s pretty shocking how when you give people anonymity – it’s like the worst of human nature.”
I mean, I do have problems with The New Girl, but take some advice, Zooey: The first rule of Fight Club is don’t read the comments. The second rule of Fight Club is don’t read the comments. Otherwise you will slowly ferment in rage and sadness and transform entirely into your evil doppelganger, No-Bangs Zooey Deschanel. [Marie Claire]
Chris Brown snuck into the Van Nuys jail a day before he was supposed to turn himself in for his hit-and-run case. His lawyer snuck him in to avoid paparazzi. They kept him there for 45 minutes, booked and released him. His next court date is August 15th. If he’s sent to prison, maybe he will be cellmates with Miss Claudette and she’ll teach him some fucking manners. [Gossip Cop]
In related shitbaggery, Terrence Howard has been accused of beating his ex-wife Michelle Ghent on a vacation to Costa Rica with some of his family.
