And, impostor troll, he'd lick you right back. Poor guy, having to pretend that he gives a hoot for that wain, wee damsel. I like that Vanity Fair wrote that he never sees that 'so called chick' he's supposed to love and admits that he lives in hotel rooms with his best "friend' and his sister. Wouldn't it be cool if we let people be themselves and celebrities? And Meyers gets some huge points for thinking of a new idea. Vampires--fuck, done with Ann Rice, but she spun that and made it work. Know how hard it is to think up something new?

Actor's Golden Globes reactions + Gwen Stefani song = Genius
