Times looks at legality of Girl Talk's albums, which he says are covered by fair use. He's never been sued (yet), so I guess he's right. Also, he goes through 3 Toughbook laptops a year due to his energetic, sometimes pantless performance style. (0) 8/7/08

Seth Rogan on new Kevin Smith movie, Zach and Miri Make a Porno: "It's a romantic relationship movie—with a lot of porn and balls." Maybe Jay's balls: Jason Mewes' sex scenes were edited to avoid NC-17. (0) 8/6/08

James Franco on his recent roles: "Who would have thought I'd play a Spicoli-like character and then make out with Spicoli in the same year?" Pineapple Express and Milk. (0) 8/5/08
