Pop Culture Conspiracies With Swans And JT

I assume by now most of you are familiar with Black Swan, aka Ballerinas with Lesbian Inclinations Go Crazy and Bleed and Stuff. The film's lead actresses, Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis, will both be seen next year in friends with benefits romantic comedies, which is apparently 2011's unnecessary subgenre response to 2010's sperm donor romantic comedies.

Let's connect the dots: Natalie and Mila are both in Black Swan generating awards buzz, both will star in "friends with benefits" romantic comedies, and No Strings Attached, Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher's movie, shares the title of an *NSYNC album. That may seem inconsequential, until I mention that Justin Timberlake is Mila's co-star in Friends With Benefits. Also, did I mention Ashton Kutcher, a former star of That '70s Show much like Mila Kunis, is Natalie Portman's PG-13-rated sex-partner in No Strings Attached? So how do we keep all of this organized and separate? A venn diagram based entirely on the trailers, of course! (Click to enlarge.)

Don't believe me? Watch the trailers for yourself. (Or don't.) I blame the star-whackers for all of these coincidences. And Lance Bass.
