Then, he cracked a joke (“Levi is clearly a great American. We wish him the best of luck as he trains for his upcoming naked photo shoot.”) and brought back Shatner to stage a reading of verified quotes from Johnson.<br/>Obviously, the mistake was innocent. Even if O’Brien didn’t apologize, most courts would probably recognize Johnston as a public figure who would need to show “actual malice” to win a defamation claim. This only goes to show that <a href="http://reporter.blogs.com/thresq/2009/04/twitter-celebrity-squatting.html" target="_blank">celebrities should register official Twitter accounts</a> even if they don’t intend to use them. Even D-list ones like Johnston.</blockquote>http://freedomtodither.tumblr.com/post/235504679http://freedomtodither.tumblr.com/post/235504679Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:09:46 +1000<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widgets.nbc.com/o/4727a250e66f9723/4af4cfeddd0af578/4af48550ec0daef0/c7a64675/-cpid/a9f315b19edca9b9" id="W4727a250e66f97234af4cfeddd0af578" width="400" height="294"><param name="movie" value="http://widgets.nbc.com/o/4727a250e66f9723/4af4cfeddd0af578/4af48550ec0daef0/c7a64675/-cpid/a9f315b19edca9b9" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="allowNetworking" value="all" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /></object><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/nbc/brian_williams_leaves_30_rock_for_30_rock_142482.asp?c=rss" target="_blank">brian williams appears on 30 rock</a></p>http://freedomtodither.tumblr.com/post/235481603http://freedomtodither.tumblr.com/post/235481603Sat, 07 Nov 2009 11:41:47 +1000<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kRiUjXp_BOE&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kRiUjXp_BOE&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/05/filipino-prisoners-perfor_n_346675.html" target="_blank">filipino prisoners perform queen medley</a></p>http://freedomtodither.tumblr.com/post/233915140http://freedomtodither.tumblr.com/post/233915140Fri, 06 Nov 2009 00:00:25 +1000<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widgets.nbc.com/o/4727a250e66f9723/4af2b884af7d686e/4af2750fca7f0ffe/178d4c9c/-cpid/2727460f20ce7b7" id="W4727a250e66f97234af2b884af7d686e" width="400" height="294"><param name="movie" value="http://widgets.nbc.com/o/4727a250e66f9723/4af2b884af7d686e/4af2750fca7f0ffe/178d4c9c/-cpid/2727460f20ce7b7" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="allowNetworking" value="all" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /></object><br/><br/><p><a href="http://mashable.com/2009/11/05/william-shatner-levi-johnston-video/" target="_blank">william shatner performs a poetic reading of levi johnston’s tweets on the tonight show with conan o’brien</a></p>http://freedomtodither.tumblr.com/post/233869974http://freedomtodither.tumblr.com/post/233869974Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:52:06 +1000<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iPypWdiC06c&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iPypWdiC06c&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>a better version of the “bondi beach gets flipped!
