You can call her CutoutDissection.com, Cutout for short, but just don’t call her Jennifer.
The former Jennifer Thornburg — whose driver’s license now reads Dissection.com, Cutout — wanted to do something to protest animal dissections in schools. The 19-year-old’s new name is also the Web address for an anti-dissection page of the site for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, where she is interning.
“I normally do have to repeat my name several times when I am introducing myself to someone new,” she told The Asheville Citizen-Times. “Once they find out what my name is, they want to know more about what the Web site is about.”
The Asheville High School graduate who’s working in Virginia helped create a policy at her high school that allows students who object to dissections to complete an alternative assignment.
Despite her legally changing the name, she said most of her family members still call her Jennifer. “It will take me a while,” said her dad, Duane Thornburg. “She’s still Jennifer to me. I understand why she’s done it. Believe it or not, I totally respect it.”
I’m pretty undecided about this. Is Jennifer’s name change completely activism-motivated, done solely based on her views and beliefs, or is this about some nerd desperately seeking attention while raising awareness for her cause? I have no idea, and I think she’ll change her name back to her birth name before I even take a stance.
Always the successful attention seeker, Madonna whipped out some guns on top of her ankles last night at the NYC premiere of “Filth and Wisdom.”
I love these shoes!!! So fun! Perfect for dominatrix shit, if you’re into that. The downside is that I think they’d hurt to stand on for a while, but they are delicious. I love unique fashion.
“He’s very supportive. Suffice it to say, I’m very happy in life, and I’m very lucky to have a lot of really supportive people around me who care very much for me, and, you know, that’s all you can hope for in life. I am very blessed in that way.”
At the far from being legal, barely post puberty age of 14, Dakota Fanning is reportedly a skilled diva, using the tactics of others twice and thrice her age.
Australian director Rowan Woods says Dakota Fanning isn’t “America’s sweetheart,” she’s more like an over the top diva extraordinaire. I’m surprised it’s taken Dakota this long! It’s about time, honey.
Woods said his high profile cast was a pleasure to work with except for teenage starlet Dakota Fanning, who could be a diva on the set.
She initially refused to come out of her trailer on day one of shooting because her scene wasn’t filmed first, and was “intensely jealous” of her young co-star Josh Hutcherson.
“(Fanning) was the only one who was naughty.”
“She is a gorgeous girl … but she was the disaster,” he said. “There was something about her presence that wasn’t ringing true. Most of our work was cutting her scenes and a lot of her scenes were cut.”
I never thought of refusing to do anything if I wasn’t tended to first. Thanks Dakota! I’ll try this out at the DMV when I’m renewing my license. I’ll stand my guard and see what happens.
Penn Badgley and Blake Lively are throwing their support behind Barack Obama in a new ad that jokingly compares voting for John McCain to doing drugs or drunk driving.
“Talk to your parents about John McCain,” urges Badgley.
“And if you’re ever out somewhere and you’re considering voting McCain, just call me, and I’ll pick you up - no questions asked,” Lively adds.
The video is cute. I love how the people in here are holding up a “Drill Baby Drill” trucker hat. I just had to post this because I am so addicted to Gossip Girl. It’s a sickness. My world literally freezes as I give the CW’s increasingly popular series my undivided attention. Next week’s episode looks hot too.
What’s a girl to do when the father of her two children is hospitalized and being treated for 2nd and 3rd degree burns? Go out and try to get some, of course.
Shanna Moakler’s on a wild cock hunt, and man whore Gerard Butler is her prey. Ms. Moakler was photographed last night at Gerard’s Shin restaurant in Hollywood looking like she was tryna flirt and get him hot and hard but Gerard doesn’t look like he’s feelin’ her. It’s her new ‘do. I’m not so sure a short cut works with Shanna’s face. Anyway, no wonder Travis referred to Shanna as his “EX-wife” and said she hasn’t visited him in a week. In a slut’s defense, poor thing isn’t used to going this long without sex. Her vag was going numb and she was only trying to make it right, okay.
