Gotta love that woman's determination. She swore off sex
for a year and then shacked up with Brandon Davis less
than a month later.
Reportedly.
Of course, there's no way to know whether it's a chaste,
celibate shacking up where they sit and drink tea and
discuss various topics, or if she's jumping on him
every chance she gets with little more than a smile and
a negligee.
(And do I really want to know?)
In any event, everyone (including me!) should have twigged
that this is BBSpot. Take a look at the very bottom of the
"news" article.
It turns out Tinkerbell is apparently *not* copyrighted --
she's a character in J.M Barrie's works. However, the pixie
image of her dressed in green with blue-green wings is (by
Disney, natch).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinkerbell
(Unless one counts Paris Hilton's pet pooch. I don't know
how one could copyright a *real* pet dog, although Benji
comes to mind. Astro, Marmaduke, Pluto, (to some extent)
Goofy, (to some extent) Dino, Odie, Scooby Doo, and Ren,
sure. [*])
[*] Oddly, my mind's drawing a blank regarding Warner
Brother's dogs. Sure, there's been some -- but I don't
remember their names. The most notable one is Foghorn's
adversary, who speaks with a Brooklynese accent (he
might have been named Rover but nobody would remember
*that* -- certainly http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047809/
doesn't; he's credited as "Barnyard Dog"); said dog
has also tangled with Daffy on an occasion or two
(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0041275/). A dog also
dragged out Yosemite Sam from a snowdrift in one short,
then mixed himself a drink and waddled off, hiccupping.
Sylvester the Cat has had his share of fun with dogs.
The two WB chipmunks tormented Geo P. Dog at one point,
at the end luring him into a gas main.
