Jim Carrey and Fox News are not interested in playing nice with one another. The comic actor, 51, is in a war of words with the conservative news network that all began with a Funny or Die skit posted earlier this week. In the Hee-Haw-inspired clip that criticizes opponents of gun control reform, Carrey parodies the late Charlton Heston, screen legend and former President of the National Rifle Association (NRA).

Fox commentator previously called Greg Gutfield called Carrey a "pathetic tool" for the skit, and said on The Five on Friday March 29: "I guess Jimmy thought he couldn't lose a debate to a dead man . . . That's what's really funny -- he did and now Charlton Heston has a brighter future in films than Jim Carrey."

Carrey took the extra step of releasing a formal statement against the network, which he refers to as "F-- News," slamming it as a "a last resort for kinda-sorta-almost-journalists whose options have been severely limited by their extreme and intolerant views . . . I sincerely believe that in time, good people will lose patience with the petty and poisonous behavior of these bullies," Carrey's statement continues.

"F-- News will be remembered as nothing more than a giant culture fart that no amount of Garlique could cure."

Gutfield went on call Carrey "washed up" and a civil rights pioneer "of sucking."

Courtney Stodden and Twitter's Hate Culture - BlackBook Magazine

According to her Twitter bio, Courney Stodden is a "Model, Recording Artist, Actress, Dancer, T.V Show Hostess, & ... Doug's Girl." What it doesn't mention: that Stodden is 17 years old and "Doug" is her husband, actor Doug Hutchison, who is 35 years her senior.

('’)

This may be old news to those who are up to date with their frivolous celebrity gossip and breaking Twitter news, but for those of us who sometimes feel like we’ve had strokes and missed entire series of VH1 reality shows centering around the courtships and marriages of people whose major claims to fame are sleeping with B- and C-list celebrities (sometimes even on camera!), this Courtney Stodden person naturally fell under our radar. It’s possibly because her husband is not famous; his major role was as a scheming prison guard in The Green Mile, the emotionally manipulative Shawshank-lite from Frank Darabont and Stephen King. But, more likely, it’s because the only thing actually interesting about this couple is their age difference.

It’s pretty gross, for sure, and there have been plenty of blog posts decrying the relationship, as well as Stodden’s apparent plastic surgery. And while she’s definitely making a stab at a music career, Stodden is more famous for her Twitter account, on which she waxes poetic about a variety of sexy things such as cooking dinner in see-through underwear. She is particularly fond of adverbs and alliteration, and tonight’s most recent update is standard fare:

Wildly wiggling & jauntily jiggling myself to jolting jams as I friskily flaunt a flirty outfit completed w/sexy white 7in. go-go boots! ;-)

Not surprisingly, she has a massive following; over 40,000 people are subscribed to her updates as of this writing. But what is a little unfortunate is the typical responses that Stodden receives from those who follow here. Here’s just a sampling:

@CourtneyStodden = 16 year old talentless slut with implants who is already married

@CourtneyStodden I fucking hate this stupid bitch. Not only a fake personality but possibly body too. Your not fucking Pam Anderson your 16!

Hey @CourtneyStodden your a slut. and the same age as me. what the hell do your parents think..you must make them very proud :)

Its the 17 year old slut! @CourtneyStodden married to a grandpa! Buahahaha you should of atleast got with sum1 famous not a washed up actor

@CourtneyStodden STFU YOU WHORE

Et cetera, et cetera!

Look, no one anywhere is saying that Courtney Stodden is a role model or someone respectable, especially as she fuels those criticisms by continually updating her social media feeds. But for people to respond to her by calling her a slut or a whore, especially through the somewhat anonymous confines of a Twitter avatar, only proves that those who are following her on Twitter are only part of the problem. Only more disturbing is the fact that Stodden is a teenager and without question the victim of a culture that values her brand of over-sexualization as much as it reviles it. It might be too much to ask that we embrace Twitter to discuss the implications of this by-product of celebrity culture rather than propagating a misogynistic worldview.
