So I tend to keep up with entertainment news through the RSS feed for
WENN that gets posted to IMDb. (Shut up, it's for work and is not as shallow as it sounds. It's pretty rare that I find out something important that way, but it's entertaining and it doesn't take long and since I'm Info Girl at work, I feel entirely justified.)
Anyway, the thing I've realized is that the people who write for WENN, in addition to loving the totally misleading headlines, are often not so great at correctly interpreting their reporting sources. For example:
Actor David Boreanaz is offering to strip for an X-rated episode of his U.S. TV forensics drama Bones now that he and co-star Emily Deschanel are together on the small screen.
The pair's characters, Booth and Brennan, have become lovers and Boreanaz hopes to steam up the screen with their antics.
He tells the new issue of TV Guide, "I hate it when two people are going at it and they turn over and suddenly they’re covered up in blankets. I’m all in. I am not going to be wearing a sack.
"I’d want a little aggression, then we can rip each other’s clothes off... We could have a pie fight."
And Deschanel is more than happy to be dating her leading man: "We’ve already kissed... and we enjoyed it a little more than we’d like to admit."
Source Since I cancelled my cable and am watching TV via Hulu, I'm sometimes a few weeks behind and I thought maybe I'd missed something. But no, I'm caught up on Bones, and unless I'm totally clueless, Bones and Booth are not sleeping together.
And then I read a little more closely and realized that the newsbit quotes Boreanaz and Deschanel as setting forth a hypothetical scenario, and whoever wrote "The pair's characters, Booth and Brennan, have become lovers" is on crack. Sensationalist crack.
I mean...right?
EDIT: But, OMG! Pie fight!
