So far, most dramatizations of our post-9/11 Military Industrial Complex have focused on movies mostly set on foreign soil. Think The Hurt Locker, Green Zone, Body of Lies, and so on. But as the brand new trailer for Showtime's upcoming drama Homeland so bluntly reminds us: "The War On Terror Comes Home." Finally! What took you so long?

● MTV is showing no signs of slowing down their Jersey Shore-ification of Italy. Yesterday they announced two new Jersey Shore spinoffs, one documenting JWoww and Snooki's "life and love when the vacation is over" and the other following Pauly D, who is apparently "one of the country's most in-demand DJs." [The Wrap] ● Charlie Sheen is in New York for his "Torpedo of Truth" tour, and bedding at none other than really, actually maybe-presidential-candidate Donald Trump's International Hotel. Duh, winning. [NYP] ● Sixteen years after its abrupt cancellation, Sundance Channel is set to offer My So-Called Life a second go. They'll be rebroadcasting the single season beginning April 25, on Mondays at 11pm. Welcome back, Angela, Jordan, and Rayanne! [HR]

This maybe true if Jude was a hair guy, because Miller's hair was looking hot on the red carpet last night. You guys knew this "Met Gala Post" was coming, but instead of doing “the best beauty looks of the Met Gala,” (we've already got one of those) I’m going to take this as an opportunity to highlight “the best looks that withstood the humidy/thunderstorms and why” post. Did you notice the majority of the hair styles had a simple and understated elegance? That's because it had been pouring for two days straight and was 90 degrees. I got some info on Sienna Miller, Claire Danes and Rachel Weisz’s Met-heads and found out that all of their coifs had something in common: Moroccan Oil. I’ve often recommended MO to my pals as a skin and hair savior, but I did not know there was a whole product line devoted to the rare tree extract. Moroccanoil (that’s the brand’s name, simple and understated) was responsible for the ladies’ frizz-free looks on this terribly humid/rainy night.

My So-Called Life stars Claire Danes and Jared Leto -- more fondly remembered as Angela Chase and Jordan Catalano -- reunited at the Elle fashion awards in London. She should've asked, "Why are you like this? Like how you are." [Vulture] ● His Holiness the Dalai Lama has a verified Twitter account and follows no one, which probably means something about serenity or denying temptation. [Twitter] ● Rihanna celebrated her 22nd birthday with a lapdance from a midget and it's on video. [PopEater]

Tiger Woods may be up to his putter in a mistress scandal, but what's most disturbing about this particular case of martial infidelity is that Tiger's wife is a ridiculously attractive Nordic supermodel. Despite this fact, the man still found it necessary to cheat with strange picked up at various bars across the country. Sure, some of the girls in question aren't too shabby either, but was it really worth it? Now, no one here is advocating cheating on wives or significant others, but if you are a celebrity and you do decide to cheat, at least shoot for an upgrade. For example!

● Although he loves doing it, Gerard Butler fears that fans will think his habit of showing his bare ass in films is a requirement he puts into every contract. [Vamban] ● That Seth Green freak-out footage that “leaked” from the set of an unknown project last week is really a viral campaign for Butterfinger. [DListed] ● Claire Danes and new husband Hugh Dancy know nothing about Brooklyn -- no seriously, they know there’s Dumbo and Prospect Park, and that’s about it. Safe to say they won’t be moving out of Manhattan anytime soon. [NYMag]

Sure, she was still a child in the ’80s. But given her string of command performances, we knew that Claire Danes was perfect for our fashion story on the revival of powerhouse dressing inspired by the greed decade. After all, her strength on-screen -- and off -- made Zac Efron quake in his boots at the mere thought of working with her in Richard Linklater’s upcoming film, Me and Orson Welles.
