A pervy upskirt shot of underwearless Anne Hathaway getting out of a limo at a New York premiere of Les Miserables has been making the rounds on that beautiful formless mass of the collective human id that we call the Interwebz. This morning on the TODAY show, she responded eloquently to host/human toejam Matt Lauer, who leered: "Seen a lot of you lately." Guh-ross.
She replied:
"It was obviously an unfortunate incident. It kind of made me sad on two accounts. One was that I was very sad that we live in an age when someone takes a picture of another person in a vulnerable moment, and rather than delete it, and do the decent thing, sells it. And I'm sorry that we live in a culture that commodifies the sexuality of unwilling participants. Which brings us back to Les Mis [...] So lets get back to Les Mis."
Well played, brah. +10000.
The Spice Girls musical Viva Forever opened on the West End and promptly got panned, which kind of sucks because its scribe Jennifer Saunders is, in fact, pretty awesome. Some critics' thoughts:
"I'll tell you what I wanted, what I really, really wanted - I wanted this terrible show to stop."
"This musical is tawdry, lazy and unedifying."
"lacking in any truly original or challenging spark."
"charmless, messy, lackluster"
"a prize Christmas turkey."

Ew, and you're very welcome, world: Nick Cannon told Howard Stern that he and Mariah Carey have sex to Mariah Carey's music, and Cannon also jerks off to her song "Hero" when she's not around.
