I'm normally pretty good at separating the art from the artist, unless the artist is, say, denying the Holocaust or campaigning to stop babies getting vaccinated against potentially fatal diseases. But man, does Sean Penn ever test this ability.

That's serving some Swintonesque realness right there.

I think it's beneath Beyonce too, and was a bit puzzled by Callie's rejoinder. Just because someone's got money doesn't mean they're necessarily worth our time.

"You see what a sly little coward Gavin is? First whiff of gun powder, and he’s fleeing for the safety of irony, turning in every name he can think of, blaming the media for not being in on the hipster joke. It’s all their fault, you see! I’m just a fashionista poseur! Don’t take me seriously, please!"

I met Jon Ronson after a talk he gave in Newcastle. We chatted about some documentary-geek stuff and he was every bit as lovely as you would hope.

Dragons That Look Like Benedict Cumberbatch? :p

If there isn't, I'm launching a class action lawsuit.

He seems to have been a pretty decent guy; he quit doing voices for the original 1980s Transformers cartoon series because they kept using anti-Arab stereotypes.

OK, I just wasted a remarkable amount of time at that guy's site. His versions of Jamie Foxx, Bill Murray and Hugh Laurie are remarkable. In fact, the only one that I felt disappointed by was his drawing of Christina Hendricks, which looked significantly less like the work of a lascivious caricaturist than the real…

It's not really clarified, but in The Deadly Assassin and The Invasion of Time we do hear of Gallifreyans living outside mainstream Time Lord culture, who are not referred to as Time Lords. So the implication is that you can be from Gallifrey without being a Time Lord. Whether that means Time Lord is a race or a…

I never thought I'd have cause to say this, but: man, Ke$ha was ahead of her time.

Not even if Martin Freeman played Anastasia Steele? He could give an interesting new world-weary spin to those frequent exclamations of "Holy crap!"

Okay, so the 50 Shades movie needs a handsome, bankable leading man who's happy to work on pretty much anything and doesn't get scared when people post horrifying sexual fantasies about him on tumblr. I think we all know who we need to place the call to.

Hey, Lila!

Oh, Bret. I can confidently say the shallow waters should hold no fear for you - you've always been there.

You know when you're a kid and you daydream about all of the awesome achievements you're going to have in your adult life, and how you're totally going to hang out with all your favourite celebrities too? I feel like Oprah Winfrey has got hold of my childhood daydreams and somehow made them into her life.

I agree about the rape scenes, but I can't agree about the ending. For me, the ending of Burgess's novel was a slap in the face; how lovely for Alex that he just grows up and decides to stop being a psychopath, but it doesn't undo anything he did or repair the lives he ruined. The end of Kubrick's version lacks any…

gabriel25gatens is amazing. I bought a Mac a year or two ago and when I wa sizing up models all I could think of was "YES, THEY CAN FIT IN AN EVOLOPE"

This guy doesn't seem like he's in the target audience for The Daily Show. Though why wingnut groups haven't circulated all the correspondents' faces with a big sign saying "DO NOT SIT DOWN TO AN INTERVIEW WITH THESE PEOPLE" is beyond me.

Yes! I want him to meet Susie Essman off Curb Your Enthusiasm.
