The Asylum, the film studio famous for cashing in on others’ success with knockbusters like Transmorphers and Snakes on a Train, embarks on destroying the Titanic again.

PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is claiming victory after Dodge digitally removed the chimpanzee (but not its clothes) from its new “Tent Event” commercial. “And just like that, Dodge joins Travelers Insurance, AT&T, and Europcar, companies that have pulled or altered ads with great apes in just the last month after being contacted by PETA,” said PETA.

The F.C.C. is supposed to ensure that all internet traffic is treated equally, net neutrality, but ever since a court decision in April put its power to do so in doubt, companies have been moving full speed ahead with bandwidth throttling.

In her latest attempt to go straight, porn star Sasha Grey made her debut as Vince’s newest girlfriend on Entourage last night. “People are going to see different sides of me, and I want them to take me seriously,” says Grey.
