I usually don't like dealing in celebrity gossip, but in this interview with the three Hangover stars, Zach Galifinakis reveals he and January Jones were rude to each other once. But the WHOLE interview is funny and interesting, so read it! [Shortlist]

Since I know most of you read this blog for up to the minute Lindsay Lohan news, I feel it is my obligation to bring you this very important piece of gossip. Lilo did something again this time!

Lindsay Lohan passed up a chance at a career comeback. The hard-partying starlet turned down a role in the summer blockbuster "The Hangover," according to Us Weekly, because she said the screenplay "had no potential."

Todd Phillips, who directed the comedy, offered Lohan the role of Jade, a stripper played by Heather Graham. One source told the magazine Lohan's agent "tried hard to get Phillips to consider her," but "Lindsay said she didn't like the script." Lohan's rep didn't return e-mails.

When will this hard-partying starlet learn? The Hangover is obviously a great movie, but to Lohan's defense, maybe she read an early draft where instead of playing a stripper who marries Ed Helms, she plays a stripper with a missing hand and a secret twin sister. If that's the case, she was really smart for turning it down.

To be honest, I have no idea if this piece of gossip is true. I don't usually make it a habit of trusting gossip columns (I'm so paranoid, I know!) The real reason I'm posting this story is because it gives me the perfect excuse to imagine what The Hangover would have looked like if Lindsay Lohan had been in it.

After the jump, we use super advanced technology to digitally insert Lindsay Lohan into The Hangover. Read more »

Speaking of Brian Williams, he at least got something right, asking Obama his feelings on Conan taking over The Tonight Show, instead of wasting time grilling the President about something boring like the economy or gay rights. [The Live Feed]

There's another red-band trailer for The Hangover, but I'm not going to watch it, because I still remember a simpler time when the Germans were our enemies and people liked to be unspoiled going into Zach Galifianakis movies. [IGN]

Tim Meadows is going to be hosting a new stand-up show. I'm just glad they didn't get some filthy Kaiser-lover to do it. [Punchline]

Did you hear they're creating a TV show about Twitter? It's true. For those of you keeping score at home, that's one TV show for Twitter, while Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis is still a three-minute web series. So much for change we can believe in. In fact, until there's an entire Between Two Ferns network, I maintain Obama is a failed president. What I mean to say is, watch this, it's awesome. (Audio NSFW)

Good news for Zack Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms: The Hangover doesn't even come out until June 5, but has generated enough focus group heat that Warner Bros. commissioned a sequel. Were producers this confident about an X-Men sequel before the original premiered?

Will the next film introduce the three friends to the hair of the dog? Doesn't matter; that's the screenwriters' problem. This is no Snakes on a Plane.
