Quick Clicks: Olivia Wilde, Real Life Angry Birds, ‘Red Carpet Run’, ‘2 Man 3 Way’, ’12 Steps’

Online video and web series news worth clicking today:

Wait, Olivia Wilde is splitting from her son-of-an-Italian-prince husband (Tao Ruspoli) after 8 years of marriage? This is big news around the celebriwebs today, and mildly fills the void that Natalie Portman’s recent knock up has caused. So as we polish up on House trivia for her, we are reminded of Ms. Wilde’s exploits into online video with this circa 2008 election video (below) for the State of Ohio featuring her liberally adorned in Ohio State garb. It’s surprisingly bad. But so are most people’s first videos, right? [Funny or Die]
