Twitter user @Elana_Brooklyn tweeted a photo of someone who resembles the star holding a sign that said “Blackboards Not Bullets” during today's protests in Union Square. Hathaway does live in New York and her newest movie, “The Dark Knight Rises,” did just wrap filming near Zuccotti Park, but it's hard to tell if it's her. What do you think?
Culture Buzz I don't think I could love Jon Stewart and Samantha Bee any more. It is an impossibility.

Culture Buzz So last night the streets of Oakland turned into a Michael Bay movie for a while. The images and video are somewhat reminiscent of those we saw in Egypt earlier this year. Seeing as these type of images occurring in our country are somewhat rare, I figured it would be interesting to see how the media was covering the story. Here are a few looks at where and how news sites featured the story.
Culture Buzz This is what Occupy Oakland's camp looked like before & after police “dismantled” it on Monday night. What a mess.
Props to those that properly skirt the issue. Oh wait…no the opposite of props.

Mitt Romney totally worries about the 99%. He understands them. I mean just look at this quote from Romney about #OccupyWallStreet over a totally random picture from his past. Again totally random. Not chosen to illustrate any point. Definitely not.
Politics Buzz A growing movement gets its moment in the political cartoon spotlight. Some of these would look great on placards.
