Michelle and Malia Obama watch Glee

Actor Alex Pettyfer might be fleeing LA soon. The British ex-boyfriend of "Glee" star Dianna Agron -- who has a tattoo around his nether regions that reads "thank you," which he says is there "in case I forget to say it'" -- disparages Tinseltown in the latest issue of Vman. "LA is growing on me a little bit, but it's still a [bleep]hole . . . Geographically it's fantastic . . . But socially, it's disgusting. I wish they'd just run all the [bleeps] out . . . Being an actor in LA is like being in prison. You go, you serve your time, you try to replicate Johnny Depp's career -- and then you move to Paris." - NY Post

Separation penetrates the disappearing person like a pigment and steeps him in gentle radiance.
