DATELINE: DAILY BUGLE- ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY will be featuring AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 in an upcoming issue. An interview inside with star ANDREW GARFIELD quotes the actor as admitting he had discussions with director MARC WEBB of casting a man as MARY JANE WATSON. Garfield says there’s nothing wrong with Peter Parker exploring his sexuality with a Male MJ. In response, thousands of dudes were seen walking the streets of Hollywood wearing red wigs and trying different ways to say “Go Get ‘em, Tiger”.
