Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, January 21, 2016 Amy Schumer has been accused of stealing jokes, and she quickly denied it. (Click here to read Sarah’s post on that.) Her friends were pretty quick to defend her as well. Anyone accusing @amyschumer of stealing jokes is a ding dong. She's one of the hardest working By Maria • Jan 21, 2016 04:15 pm
Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, November 19, 2015 Everyone loves Jennifer Meyer Maguire. She has as many friends as Gwyneth, I swear.

Golden Globes 2010 Golden Globes 2010 Wrap-up WHO’s NATALIE??????????????????? As Duana noted during our live blog, that sealed it for us right there.

Cheese Precious Cheese Tits Tits out, ass out, Mimi heaved her cheese onto the carpet the other night at the New York premiere of Precious enveloped in a cloud of butterfly love and bunny rabbit affection.
