Socialists, liberals and muslims need not apply

But, Mr. Keller, I'm confused. I'm a white-girl atheist who likes to kill things in my spare time when I'm not helping redistribute wealth. Up until now I've mostly used my bare hands for the killing, but I'm developing carpal tunnel syndrome. Can I take your class? (via Buzzfeed).

Also, Mr. Keller. You sound like a very nice man, but you can never be my favourite Mr. Keller. (WARNING: This is from Oz, so there's some violence).

And, in case you're wondering who Marnie Herald is:

Lord Voldemort hates The Twitter

Ralph Fiennes is super-upset that Twitter exists because that means less people will understand what's going on in his new movie. The Telegraph has this:

"Speaking at the BFI London Film Festival awards in Old Street, London, Ralph Fiennes said that modern language "is being eroded" and blamed "a world of truncated sentences, soundbites and Twitter. Our expressiveness and our ease with some words is being diluted so that the sentence with more than one clause is a problem for us, and the word of more than two syllables is a problem for us," he said. Fiennes, full name Ralph Nathaniel Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes, said that students at drama schools were especially suffering thanks to social networking sites. "I hear it, too, from people at drama schools, who say the younger intake find the density of a Shakespeare text a challenge in a way that, perhaps, (students) a few generations ago maybe wouldn't have." The actor's directorial debut, Shakespeare's Coriolanus, premiered at the London Film Festival this week. Fiennes was questioned whether the playwright was even relevant in a time of dumbed-down English language. He said: "I think we're living in a time when our ears are attuned to a flattened and truncated sense of our English language, so this always begs the question, is Shakespeare relevant? OH, I'M SORRY. TIME OUT! YOU JUST UNDERMINED YOUR ENTIRE ARGUMENT RIGHT THERE. RULE #1: ONE MAY NOT HARANGUE OTHERS ABOUT LANGUAGE USE, WHEN ONE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT "BEGGING THE QUESTION" MEANS. ALL Y'ALL JUST DONE FALL'N OFF YO HIGH HORSE, RAFE. But I love this language we have and what it can do, and aside from that I think the themes in his plays are always relevant."

What do you think? #iRightFiennes and at Storify.

@fearraigh75 Ralph Fiennes is the latest to say Twitter is eroding English. He should try it out; it might erode his ability to brainfart. #iRightFiennes

@_shireenahmed
Fiennes is correct. Not only twitter but texting as well. English has been bastardized. #iRightFiennes

If Angry Birds were a horror movie

A bit of Hitchcock. A bit of video game. A lot of delicious, fluffy omelet.

Finally something interesting about Prince Charles

Prince Charles spend 200-300 hours on ancestry.com and now claims that he's related to Vlad the Impaler.

USA Today: "The truth is out: Prince Charles is related to Vlad the Impaler. The heir to the British throne says he is related to Vlad the Impaler, the cruel 15th-Century Romanian warlord who helped inspire Bram Stoker's 1897 vampire novel Dracula. He makes the comments on an upcoming TV show to promote his interest in protecting the forests of Romania's Transylvania region. Charles says genealogy shows that he is related to Vlad, giving him a stake OH NO YOU DIDN'T in the future of Romania. The prince has long worked to conserve the forests and has bought a home in the region. On a visit to Romania earlier this year, he called Transylvania a national treasure because of its unspoiled landscape and centuries-old rural farming traditions."

Best zombie mash-up ever. Today

After that last post, we need something nice and soothing. This should do the trick. Via Buzzfeed.

New trailer for Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

... and if you haven't yet, watch the footage of Tom Cruise doing his own walking-on-the-outside-of-the-world's-tallest-building stunt.

While you were sleeping

... brought to you by Will Sasso, Chris Diamantopoulos and Sean Hayes in the first look from the Farrelly Brothers' The Stooges.

Stuntman dies on Expendables 2 set Deadline: "A stuntman has died on the set of The Expendables 2, which is filming in Bulgaria. The accident happened a little after 7 PM local time on Thursday while the movie’s 2nd Unit Stunt Team was filming a scene on reservoir Ognyanovo 15 miles outside the capital Sofia. Two stuntmen participated in the stunt, which involved an explosion. One of them died, while the other was injured and is in a hospital in critical condition. The local police have launched an investigation into the incident which happened while the film’s main unit, led by director Simon West and star/producer Sylvester Stallone was filming in the picturesque mountain resort village of Bansko 2.5 hours away. “It is with great regret that we confirm this unfortunate accident,” Nu Image/Millennium Films, the production company behind The Expendables 2, said in a statement. “Our hearts go out to the families and those on the production affected by this tragedy. The filmmakers are working closely with the authorities in responding to and investigating this accident.”

That sound like a fantastic idea Huffington: "At just 19-year-old Frances Bean Cobain, the daughter of Courtney Love and the late Kurt Cobain, shocked the fashion world with a series of very grown up photographs this summer. Now there are reports she's engaged ... to a guy who looks a lot like her father. According to OC Weekly, Frances has been dating The Rambles' lead singer, Isaiah Silva, for more than a year, and changed their relationship status on Facebook to engaged a few weeks ago. While the paper notes the couple recently removed the status, they allude to their engagement in online posts, which can be viewed here. In one post Frances writes: "Getting to spend the rest of my life loving my best friend makes me the luckiest woman in the world."

And now a word from Nicole Richie Us: "The horror of Halloween shouldn't be found in nip slips and exposed muffin tops. This year, Nicole Richie has a public plea for ghouls and girls around the world: don't "dress slutty!" "Girls, can we all pledge that we will not dress slutty for this Halloween?" the 30-year-old posted on her Facebook page Thursday. "The jig is up!" Although Richie, who is mom to Harlow, 3, and Sparrow, 2, has donned some provocative outfits in the past, her Halloween costumes in recent years have been rather wholesome. In 2009, she covered up as the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland, and in 2010 she dressed conservatively as Margot Tenanbaum from The Royal Tenanbaums and also as Jessie the Cowgirl from the Toy Story films."

Charlie Sheen gets a deal THR: "FX is getting angry with Charlie Sheen.The former Two and a Half Men star's comeback comedy Anger Management has found a home on the News Corp.-owned cable network, which will air the series beginning in summer 2012. The news comes after two-plus weeks spent pitching the project to a series of cable networks and several of the major broadcast nets. Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that at least three cable networks bid on the project, which has been garnering disproportional media interest given the last year of its subject."

That's why the good lord invented the PVR Deadline: "It was a possibility that arose when Game 6 of the World series was postponed because of bad weather, shifting the schedule for the remaining 2 games by a day. Still, given the fact that no World Series had gone to 7 games in 9 years, the odds were against baseball interfering with tonight's premiere of NBC’s new series Grimm. But the Cardinals’ stunning 11th inning victory was bad news for NBC which will have the series premiere of Grimm and the final season premiere of Chuck go against MLB’s championship game."

Oh goody. I've missed him so People: "With his on-again, off-again relationship with Kat Von D apparently hitting the skids, Jesse James has opted to return to his first love – bikes. The motorcycle enthusiast – and ex-husband of Sandra Bullock – will make his return to television with an appearance on the Discovery Channel's motorcycle series American Chopper, according to EW.com. James, 42, will compete against the show's father and son stars, Paul Teutul Sr. and Paul Teutul Jr., for the title of Master Bike Builder. The special is scheduled to air on Dec. 5 and 6, with the first night featuring pre-taped footage of the trio building their respective bikes. Viewers will be able to vote on the finished products, and the winner will be crowned live in Las Vegas on the second night, according to the report."

DWTS cast super-upset with Kim Kardashian "All’s fair in love and war, but not in reality shows! The fake tweet Kim Kardashian sent out to help her brother Rob on Dancing with the Stars has infuriated the other contestants of the show RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned. On Monday she wrote to her 10.7 million followers: “OMG I have @JustinBieber’s phone#!!!! 800 8684302! CALL HIM! He’s taking calls for the next hour!!!” but that number was the line to vote for her brother on DWTS. Her own fans turned on her on Twitter, calling her “lame” and accusing her of “cheating” for her brother, and RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that the other contestants don’t approve of her sneaky tactics either. “It is totally unfair that Kim did that,” an insider told us. “The other celebs on the show don’t send out fake information to trick people into voting.” Rob’s family members have been in the audience supporting him and have waged an on-line campaign for him but the other competitors said this trick went over the line. “Some of the contestants think that Rob should be disqualified for having his family cheat like that for him,” the DWTS insider revealed."
