• Eva Longoria Parker is so new to Twitter that she erroneously posted a porn link for her fans, when trying to direct them to her husband Tony Parker‘s website. [News.com.au]
• Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady were unable to keep their newborn baby boy Benjamin a secret. A Brazilian gossip magazine published the first pics of the future model/quarterback. [Fashion Indie
• The box office hit “Avatar” isn’t visually appealing to all movie-goers. People have reported feeling dizzy and nauseated while watching the hyped 3-D version. [MSNBC.com]

Reader Lisa took this photo on a trip to Thailand:

“It was my first day in Bangkok, and I was riding a boat down the city’s major river, thinking about the strange new world I was in and how tired I was and about. Being from Canada where we are so anal about keeping our lakes and river pristine, I was shocked by the pollution and the poverty that surrounded me. About halfway through my river cruise, I looked up and saw the words ‘I love you’ spray painted on a wall, and 1500 pictures later, this is still my favorite from this adventure!”

Have you seen graffiti that’s kind of sweet (even if it is against the law)? Send your pic to tips@thefrisky.com.

• Jessica Alba thinks Xiaoqing — the 21-year-old Chinese woman who is allegedly getting plastic surgery to look like Alba because her boyfriend is obsessed with the actress — is as crazy as everyone else does. “I think you should never have to change yourself like that,” Alba said. “If somebody loves you, they’ll love you no matter what.” [New York Daily News]
• Shoshana Johnson, 37, the nation’s first African-American female prisoner of war, talks about her ordeal in her a new book out this week, I’m Still Standing. Johnson, who was captured in Iraq in the same ambush as POW Jessica Lynch, says she hopes to bring more attention to post-traumatic stress disorder in soldiers. [Yahoo]

Finally, a chance for normal people to represent: United Colors of Benetton is holding a global casting competition for its spring campaign, and they’re looking for non-models to do the job. All you have to do is build your profile by uploading your best pics—at least one close-up and one full-length—and explain a little bit about why you’re awesome. (That should be the easy part.) Then, browse the community to vote for other interesting faces. One-hundred finalists will go to New York to be whittled down to 20 by a group of judges. So, what are they looking for? “Something different, something unconventional, something surprising, something real. It’s not just how you look but how you are.” Which means you probably fit in there somehow, right? Submit your entry by March 16. [Casting.Benetton.com]

Run, run for your lives! Cologne-doused, shirtless Abercrombie & Fitch models are coming after the people of Japan! While this may sound like the plot of a bad spoof movie, it’s not too far off from the truth. (OK, well, not quite.) Apparently, the retailer has set up its first outpost in Japan, and the culture clash has been unexpectedly—and hilariously—problematic.

The Gap and Keds are as American as capitalism and the Electoral College, so it’s about time the two fashion entities get together to create a line of all-American footwear. The shoes will be designed by Gap’s Patrick Robinson and will be right in-step with the faded denim and pastels that will be big this summer. (Don’t worry if you’re more of a glam girl, because Keds has also teamed up with Alice + Olivia for a limited-edition sparkle line.) There’s no word regarding prices of the Gap-inspired line, but the shoes will debut in the summer most likely at a pop-up shop in NYC, which means they’re sure to hit eBay shortly after for those of you in other parts of the country.

Want to break out of the red lip box? So do I. I’m sort of over it (or at least over telling you about it). Today, I’m all about bright orange lips for spring—well, bright orange-with-a-hint-of-red lips, that is. They achieve the same wowsa-look-at-her-lips reaction, which were all over the runways for spring, and now Rachel Zoe is getting in on the action! (Check out Chloe Sevigny, above; she’s a major orange lip fan.) So what orange lipstick/gloss should you pick? Try Make Up For Ever Lip Gloss #2, says Zoe. And for $12, it’s worth the beauty risk!

When I saw this photo, I did a double take. I thought Anna Nicole was dead! The outfit, hair, and accessories Dina Lohan sported on her way to court, where she was facing her ex, Michael, over child support payment issues is way similar to what Smith wore to court in 2006. Creepy! Facebook’s Doppelganger Week is over, yo.

I don’t know what “American Idol” is thinking, losing Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell! No offense to Randy, but people certainly weren’t tuning in for his witty commentary or sober decisions. Yes, Ellen DeGeneres is super hilariously awesome, but can the show survive without what Simon says? I guess it depends on who fills his shoes. Last week, rumors sparked that Howard Stern was Fox’s top pick, but this week it sounds like Jamie Foxx, Tommy Mottola, and Guy Oseary are in the running, with Oseary in the lead. [NY Daily News]

And because we want Fox to make an educated decision about who should be hired, we’re going to have to shun, shag, or marry them to figure it out.
