“He-vage,” as we learned just moments ago, is “male cleavage,” and not to be confused with “he-vag,” the visible result of the “penile tuck” maneuver. The story that follows compliments George Clooney on the way he tastefully rocks one of the aforementioned terms, but we’ve already forgetten if it’s the chest or the genital variety [
The curse plaguing Indiana Jones and the Mysteriously Bedazzled Skull has visited another hardship upon the super-secret production, as the theft of computers and photographs–they’re so paranoid at DreamWorks that they won’t even say where and when the heist occurred–has closely followed the tragic leaking of plot points that has left the
