Morning Brew: Stephen Colbert says “It Gets Worse,” Rooney Mara might be the solo star of “The Girl Who Played with Fire”
Good morning, Brewbies!

(Get it together, dude. You play in San Francisco!)

When you were reading The Millennium Trilogy, did you wish for way more Lisbeth Salander and way less Mikael Blomkvist? Well, you may be in luck when it comes to the next American movie installment.

Obviously, she’s much more of the focus in The Girl who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest, so it actully seems like somehting that might work! (Rooney Mara is still on board to play Salander.)
Paris Hilton – who was recorded being really homophobic to a gay friend not long ago – is making up for her misdeeds by auctioning off a bottle of her perfume (Dazzle?) for GLAAD. So, if you have a lot of money and want to smell like Paris Hilton and also help out gay media, um, here you go?
