Pretty funny idea: "Kickstarter convinced thousands of people that their ideas were interesting… That's why we started Kickstopper, a website that raises funding to crush people's dreams."

It's Emmy season, so TV stars are promoting shows and talking about TeeVee. Over at Deadline Hollywood, Allison Williams was asked how she deals with folks who brag about not having a television.

Her response:

“I always say very dryly and very honestly, ‘You should invest in one. I’m not even saying you would necessarily like our show. But TV is so good right now.’”

Of course, in this day and age, you can catch up on TV without owning a TV: We watched her father cover Warren G on this thing called the Internet.

Here's the thing about a song called "We Can't Stop." It ought to sound unstoppable, like a full-throttle freight train. Instead, Miley's new track sounds like a sleepytime stoned wind-down. But Miley is pushing the hell out of this single, and has dropped a couple of teaser videos to get you excited.

In one teaser, seen above, Miley lipsyncs while wearing a mesh sports jersey, a black ski hat in the style favored by Treach from Naughty By Nature and a delicate cocktail veil. She won't stop, you guys.

Another teaser from the video shoot reveals the crazy shit Miley and her friends do in their free time: Jump into a pool with their clothes on.

Edgy. Someone call the cops.

Miley's also been posting sexay shots from the video on Twitter, with the hashtag #wecantstop. Looks like she did stop… in the midst of putting her clothes on.

Again, for the record, the song (you can listen to the underwhelming thing in its entirety here) is NOT FAST ENOUGH. With lyrics like "It’s our party we can do what we want," if she really wants to be wild thuggy party girl celebrating freedom-from-the-chains-of Disney, her single should sound like this.

But stay tuned: The full video comes out Thursday.

Who won the pool? I was hoping for Kwest or KiWe.

Ripped, tattooed underwear model Alex Minksy will take your breath away. Not because he's beautiful — he is! — but because his story is heart-squeezingly inspiring.

Three years ago, Minksy was a Marine in Afghanistan went a roadside bomb exploded. He lost consciousness — and lost his leg. After being in a coma for 47 days, Minsky's brain "came back online" and he started the slow journey towards recovery. A drinking problem set him back again, but when a photographer spotted him at the gym and asked him to pose, he stumbled into a new career: Modeling.

"I just want people to look at me and not give up," he says. "To not quit."

Uh, while we're on the subject of things that just won't quit…

Inside Kate Middleton lurks one of the most powerful beings on Earth. Experts are saying that when the royal baby is born — early next month, if reports are to be believed — the British economy will experience a very sizable boost.

According to the New York Daily News:

Prince Charles, the grandfather-to-be, is selling handmade baby shoes through a shop on his country estate Highgrove, while the mother-to-be's parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, have added a range of baby goods to their party goods business.

Joshua Bamfield, director of the Centre for Retail Research (CRR), estimated that the arrival of the baby, due in July, could add more than 240 million pounds to the British economy.

That's about $380 million. Between the Royal Wedding in 2011 and the Olympics last year, the UK is on a roll. Women are already buying up whatever the Duchess wears; as soon as she's photographed in a dress, it sells out. We may soon live in a world where everything the baby has — onesies, rattles, bikes, train sets, dollhouses — could also sell out. Women be shoppin'!

Usually, when we hear that Hollywood is greenlighting yet another remake, we just groan and sigh. But the report about a Tomb Raider reboot could be really good news, for a few reasons.

1. We need more kick-ass female action stars. The original Tomb Raider flick was released in 2001 — more than a decade ago. Lately, we've had the awesome Hanna, the awful Suckerpunch and the epic franchise The Hunger Games. But male-driven action flicks far outnumber ones with women starring in them. Little kids — and adults — who love superheroes and physical feats should be able to see women fight baddies, not just Spider-Man, Batman, Superman and Iron Man.

2. Shocker: Women go to the movies. It's been proven time and time again, yet we remain an under-served audience. A high-profile flick like Tomb Raider could, once again, like Bridesmaids and Sex And The City, push Hollywood to take chances on lady-centric flicks. Plus, the story adds diversity to the mix, since the narratives about women that often make it to the silver screen involve one, two or all of the three Bs: boys, babies, brides. (There are women on this planet who do other things bedsides fall in love, get married and procreate!)

3. The studio has hired writer Marti Noxon, most famous for penning Buffy The Vampire Slayer episodes. The 2001 Tomb Raider — which had two male screenwriters — was criticized for being sexist (the giant padded bra really was a bit much). With Noxon on board, hopefully Movie Lara Croft 2.0 will be less of a pin-up girl and more like the the fierce Ms. Summers. As Kevin P. Sullivan writes for the MTV movie blog:

You simply do not hire Marti Noxon to write a dumb, sexist "Tomb Raider" rehash. This is hopefully the first sign of a more modern take on the character, one that gamers can be proud of, instead of embarrassed by, and ideally one that young girls can actually look up to for her character and not her supernatural cup size.

You think you don't like Fabio, but when you see these pictures of him holding men at Whole Foods, you realize that you do. You really do.

Last night at the 40th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards — held at The Beverly Hilton Hotel — soap opera stars mingled with "real" "housewives" and talk show hosts. The fashion, much like the personalities of these ladies, was big, brash, flashy and tacky. But fun!

Heather Tom of The Bold and the Beautiful won an award last night, and did so in a shimmery coppery plunging neckline gown. An awards also went to Julie Marie Berman of General Hospital, who sported showstopping ruffled red.

Julie Chen's little red dress is cute, even though the shape is reminiscent of a spa towel and it has awful bows at the hem.

Finola Hughes (General Hospital) and Kathy Griffin were both swellegant in long black columns.

Black and silver with sheer: Sharon Osbourne. Cool earrings, but the best accessory is Ozzy.

In theory, Taylor Armstrong's dress — which appears to be held together by slender strings — is quite romantic and sexy, but her hair is ruining it. Imagine it pulled back into a tight chignon. Lips red, smile erased for fierce stare. Better?

Giada De Lauretiis worked a LBD and major cleavage. That side view is basically a breast exam?

Bethenny Frankel, who is getting her own daytime show in the fall, had one of the best LBDs. (It's Stella McCartney.)

But I think this is the best black dress of the night, with killer accessories. On Kris Jenner.

Elizabeth Hendrickson (of All My Children and The Young and the Restless) wore a really pretty pale gown, which, upon closer inspection, appears to be tie-dye? And then the giant crystal? I'm fine with it, somehow. New Age Good Witch Chic. I'm sure her laughter sounds like bells.

Sheer layers, just a touch too prommy on Michelle Stafford of The Young and the Restless.

In white: Holy Crap it's Britt Ekland, 1974 Bond Girl and ex wife of Peter Sellers! Also doing a white/partially sheer thing: The Bold and the Beautiful's Kristolyn Lloyd.

But here are my favorite outfits of the evening: A white gown with delicate embroidery and bright lips really look great against Aisha Tyler's skin. And Sara Gilbert — in a deconstructed tux and gold chain — looks like the coolest, most modern and most comfortable lady at the party. Darlene Conner for the win.

Put The Great Gatsby, American Psycho and Gordon Gekko in a blender and you get The Wolf of Wall Street, the new Martin Scorsese picture starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Matthew McConaughey, Jonah Hill, a yacht and a bunch of money. At one point Leo addresses the camera, Henry Hill-style, so go ahead and sprinkle a little Goodfellas on top.

Ahh, the '90s in New York, when lobster-throwing and chimps on rollerskates were still cool. The movie is based on the true story of Jordan Belfort, whose brokerage firm, Stratton Oakmont, was also the inspiration for the 2000 film Boiler Room. So expect heaps of cash, a lot of drugs and dirty deals.

One quibble with the trailer? The music. Kanye is hot right now, but wouldn't a classic '90s track — 2pac, Snoop Dogg, Cypress Hill, ODB — be so much more appropriate?

Of course, it's hard to be upset when you're just witnessed the sheer beauty that is Leo popping and locking. The flick hits theaters in November.

KANYE WEST APPROVES THIS MESSAGE

Drama queens ruled at the 4th annual amfAR Inspiration Gala, where each dress was more dazzling than the next. Thank goodness: When you're among legends like Liza and Iman, you'd better come correct.

We'll take a look at some pale hues first: Even though I've had it up to here with beige/tan/skintoned dresses, this flowy column on model Hanneli Mustaparta is really quite pretty. Orange lip color? Divine. And that Loch Ness Monster pony is the perfect summer 'do.

Mia Moretti and Caitlin Moe — aka The Dolls — have a new single, "Summer of '93" and some really cool clutches. Dig the way their outfits compliment each other without being matchy.

This see-through thing has GOT to end soon. Meanwhile, a sheer fishy mermaid tail on Carly Rae Jepsen is not the worst thing that has ever happened, but it's not good, either.

Better version of see-through: The summery, modern dress on Dree Hemingway.

Holy crap Ireland Baldwin looks so much like her mother. Remember that one James Bond movie Kim Basinger was in that involved jazzercise and video games? Good times. Anyway, Ireland's gravity-defying gown is so sexy saloon owner, and her accessories — from the huge cuffs to Dean and Dan Caten of DSquared2 — work perfectly.

Wait wait wait wait. How can we be sick of sheer when model Lindsey Wixon makes it look so glorious? Downton/Gatsby/Hedy Lamarr realness. And the spectacular earrings? Egads. Bestill my heart.

Drama! Ms. Liza Minnelli sparkles. Noted NY dandy Patrick Mc Donald serves hat and face. Bow down to both.

The next three — all in in deeply saturated color — are the best. First: Iman makes elegance look easy. A scarlet gown that hugs just so, flatters her skin and shoulders, is befitting of the goddess that she is. (Be tee dubs, that's Kenneth Cole on the right.)

Looking hot in hot pink: Uma Thurman. Stunning.

Best dressed, even though she almost always wears the same thing (sheer, fitted, clingy): Jennifer Lopez. Shimmery blue figure-hugging stretch lace with a hint of skin, clean makeup and sleek hair. Beautiful.

Emma Watson has just signed on for the film adaptation of Queen of the Tearling, the debut novel by Erika Johansen.

Variety is reporting that the project is still in development — no director has been attached yet — but David Heyman, who worked with Watson on the Harry Potter films, is producing.

The book doesn't hit shelves until next year, but Johansen graduated from the Iowa Writers' Workshop and according to reports, she got a seven-figure book deal and was moved by POTUS:

The 35-year-old Johansen says she heard then-Sen. Obama give a speech in 2007 and was inspired to create the series' idealistic heroine, 19-year-old Kelsea Glynn. The publisher is billing the books as a female version of George R.R. Martin's "Game of Thrones."

More on the plot:

Set three centuries after a small portion of the human race has populated a landmass that mysteriously emerged in the wake of an environmental catastrophe, the series follows nineteen-year-old princess Kelsea Glynn, who must reclaim her deceased mother’s throne and redeem her kingdom, the Tearling, from forces of corruption and dark magic of The Red Queen, the sorceress-tyrant of the neighboring country, Mortmesne. According to [editor Maya Ziv], “Erika’s masterful storytelling, combined with her ability to transport the reader to another fully-realized world, makes her an exciting new talent.”

Sounds kind of Hunger Games meets Snow White and the Huntsman via Westeros. Questions we need answers to ASAP: Will there be dragons? Will there be people of color? Will the costumes be lust-worthy?
