"Entourage" star promises to use Microsoft, honest
CNET's supertelegenic Natali Del Conte got a Microsoft-sponsored visit from Entourage star Jeremy Piven to talk up Office Live Workspaces. But as Natali said in an email: "They don't use Workspaces. Microsoft just got them to say that they will. I don't understand why Microsoft would have such a non sequitur way to promote this product. The product is good. Why bother with this nonsense?" More »

First the Internet geeks of Anonymous pledged to destroy Scientology. Now "Z-list" celebrities want to take down gossip bloggers. Fine. Just so long as l don't wake up to find Philippe Dauman Jr., Michael Arrington, and Jimmy Wales chanting at me from behind Guy Fawkes masks. Far as I see it, only Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's got a legit beef, and that's with TMZ.

Sean Penn caught in character as Harvey Milk
You'll hardly recognize a scrawny Sean Penn in full facial hair and denim as gunned-down gay city supervisor Harvey Milk. Also caught in this fan footage: Emile Hirsch as gay activist Cleve Jones, and San Francisco's Castro Street as its former self, before the Straighty McStraights bought everything.

Silicon Valley's favorite drug helped kill Heath Ledger
Medical examiners have released results of Heath Ledger's toxicology report earlier today. The young star died of an accidental overdose — an "acute intoxication" — from the combined effects of hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam, doxylamine and oxycodone. The latter is the active substance in Silicon Valley's drug of choice, OxyContin.

Some iPhone owners dive onto subway tracks to save their gadget. David Lynch would just as soon push you in front of an oncoming train. Appalled by the notion of viewing his movie on a cell phone, Lynch rants about the technology in one of the featurettes accompanying the special edition of Inland Empire: "It's a ... such a sadness, that you think you've seen a film on your .... your FUCKING telephone. Get real!"

Fake Bono draws real pitches
I finally got the story behind Bono's alleged appearance at the Demo tradeshow last year. MindTouch cofounder Aaron Fulkerson recruited the singer from a U2 tribute band — Pavel Sfera from San Diego-area Desire — to walk around the show floor and do his shtick for laughs. Sfera, shown here with telejourno Natali Del Conte, turned out even better than the real thing: He ad-libbed monologues about Mother Teresa, Desmond Tutu and Jesus all over the place. Because of the real Bono's role at Elevation Partners, and oh just maybe an oversized sense of their own importance, Demo attendees believed what they wanted to believe: Saint Paul of Clontarf had come by their show to check out their startup! Fulkerson had to hustle Sfera out of the show after founders began excitedly pitching him. "I've got a cure for hunger," one gushed. It involved Web page markup technology.

John Mayer totally blowing his geek cred
Singer/songwriter/guitar-hero John Mayer, known in the Valley for his onstage appearances with Steve Jobs to demo Apple's GarageBand software, isn't living up (or down) to his onstage claims that he spends a lot of time alone in his bedroom — you know, with his guitar. Gossip rags report that Jobs's musician buddy was seen shnozzing with both Shrek voice actress Cameron Diaz and Friday Night Lights star Minka Kelly on separate dates over the weekend. We can only surmise that Jobs's reality distortion field works on actresses, too.

Bless your dorky Valley heart, you didn't catch TMZ's Paris Goes Postal clip over the weekend. More interesting to you is Boing Boing TV's newly unearthed footage of "comedy terrorist" Tim E. Woodsman running amok at the LA Convention Center during a pre-crash E3. Stupid, yes, but it's Monday.
