It’s a rough day in Santa Monica, as MTV Networks this morning announced a round of layoffs which will eliminate around 250 staff positions. Names will be announced throughout the week, with some folks in very senior positions rumored to be on the chopping block. The cuts will impact all networks, including MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon, Spike and Comedy Central.

Tragically, there are no plans yet to fire Brody Jenner from ever being on television or near Lauren Conrad again.

I rarely click on ads on this site. Click fraud and all that. But they are getting better and better. I just now saw one in the corner that said: “Got Herpes? Find Out Who Is Spreading STDs in Your Area.” I clicked it, because how do you not click that?, and was directed to YouGaveMeAnSTD.com. Here’s their overview:

Welcome to You Gave Me An STD.com. This is a site unlike any site out there. We are devoted to stopping the unnecessary spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Currently there are few options available to the sexually active community to help prevent the spread of diseases. Now there is another option YouGaveMeAnSTD.com.

YouGaveMeAnSTD.com is an online forum where people can tell of their past sexual encounters where they received an STD from a partner who wasn’t honest and upfront with them. As a visitor on our site you are able to search for these alleged infectors by name, city or state reducing your chances of being victimized. Remember the adage “learn from other peoples mistakes.”

This reminds me of our old friend here at The Beet, DontDateHimGirl.com, and how we nearly destroyed a young man’s future in casual, self-satisfying sexual misadventures by reporting on it. As I’d hate to risk doing that to someone else, I won’t call out my fave stories from this new site, but suffice it to say that it’s equally amusing.

Ok, well if that didn’t get your attention. I don’t know what I can contribute new to the Anna Nicole saga but here is a quote from Larry Birkhead.
According to his lawyer Debra Opri, Larry is

“inconsolable … he has lost the mother of his child and he has lost a woman he loved very much.”

He is also secretly excited that now he gets to prove that Dannielynn is his daughter and hopefully get some dough out of this whole mess.

I have to say RIP Anna. I fully enjoyed you, fat skinny and everywhere in between.

David Faustino (aka Bud Bundy) has filed for divorce from the hot, gold-digging, pathetic chick he married in 2003, Andrea Elmer, citing irreconcilable differences.

Kim Kardashian and one of her not so famous hot black guy boyfriends (there have been a LOT people) have “accidentally” leaked a sex tape. Oh no! How could that have happened. Little gnomes must have broken into their apartment and then contacted their porn partners in crime!
It is rough when you are famous and you film yourself having sex and it gets leaked to the press. It is funny how many times that happens.

Cool Movie Alert! This is directed by Julie Taymor and looks quite good. Here is the trailer to enjoy but you will have to wait till September for the movie. I am quite excited. Here is…”Across the Universe”

Is life imitating art?
