Carrey Explains Creepy Vid; Kathy Griffin Posts Her Own

Is he being serious in his ode to Emma Stone? Difficult to say...

(NEWSER) - Pretty much everyone seems to agree : A video love note Jim Carrey recorded for the actress Emma Stone, apropos of nothing, is creepy. An apparently serious Carrey tells Stone how beautiful she is and envisions the “chubby little freckle-faced kids,” not to mention the sex, they would have if only they could get married.

But in New York , Kyle Buchanan writes that it is both “heartfelt and weird, sweet but creepy, a joke but also kinda 90% serious.” More»

Side note: Kim Kardashian didn't make it on Maxim's list, but she was voted "Hottest Woman in the World" by Zoo magazine ... which, sadly, is not actually a magazine about zoo animals.
