It’s just cool. It’s about Medieval warriors and time-travelling chicks from outerspace. With lots of violence and cursing. Can’t beat it.

Todd Genger, Former Legal Aid for Goldman-Sachs, Tried to Solicit Underage Girls

Todd Genger solicited underage girl in chatroom who–surprise, surprise–turns out to actually be a middle-aged police investigator.

Good job, Todd. Goldman-Sachs contributed a lot of cash to Obama, and continues to get favorite treatment from the Obama administration. Think Todd was a big Obama supporter? He was obviously full of hope and change.

Madonna Is Becoming An Anatomical Chart: Look at Those Biceps

Madonna is beginning to look a little like a medical anatomical chartTake a look at her and those biceps. Sheesh.

Here’s a close-up of her. Yeow!

Oh, dear. She's ripped, yes, but not in a good way.

The Building of Disneyland

A great video documenting the construction of Disneyland has been released. Totally, incredibly awesome.

Some priceless footage, much of it time-lapse, regarding the construction of Disneyland. Wish something like this was out there for the Magic Kingdom and Epcot. Who knows, maybe there is, somewhere.

Now, here’s part two of that footage:

Just watched it all. Amazing to think the castle drawbridge actually goes up and down, but has rarely been raised or lowered. They seem to suggest it was raised and lowered for testing before opening day, and then during a Fantasyland rehabd during the early 80s. Crazy-amazing stuff.

And here’s part three:

Great stuff. Truly amazing. This one shows them building the Peter Pan Captain Hook boat, which was built where the Dumbo ride is now.

Admittedly, it was released about a year ago, but this is the first time I’ve come across it. And, of course, I had to share.

Oh, hang on. There’s a Part 4, 5 and 6, too, apparently. Dang.

Part 5:

And something on the Contemporary Resort Construction at Walt Disney World:

Shana Martin Almost Wins Some Sort of Lumberjack Competition

Shana Martin Preparing to Do Some Topless Lumberjacking. Cool.

So, Shana Martin likes to do log rolling. Cool. Below, Shana Martin and Huntington’s Disease.

BTW, Huntington’s Disease is what Olivia Wilde’s Character has on the excellent Fox show, House. And Olivia Wilde is also going to be in Tron: Legacy. See, it all ties together.

Olivia Wilde

I have it on good authority they both keep in shape by using Wrist, Hand and Finger Exercisers. And so should you.

More later. Have a good day!

Iron Man 2, Black Widow Origin Story, and Sweet Scarlett Johansson

MTV tells us that Marvel is going to launch a 4 issue origin story for Black Widow to tie in with the new Iron Man 2 movie. I might actually buy a comic book for the first time in, like, ten years.

UPDATE: BLACK WIDOW Movie COULD BE A GO! ScarJo says “Imma Gonna Be Famous!”

Apparently there was a lot of great Iron Man 2 footage at Comi-Con, including Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow kicking all sorts of butt, but not sign of said footage on the Internetz Tubez as of yet. Lemme know if you find something.

I’m looking much forward to this (Ironman 2) and Tron 2 the very most of anything right now. More stuff on Tron 2 from here. Well, I’m also looking forward to The Hobbit, but nothing on that thus far. Probably will be a lot on it at Comi-Con next year. So, cool.

One more picture of Scarlett as The Black Widow. Yeah, it’s been everywhere, but I’m trying to be inclusive.

Too bad for Emily Blunt. But I’m sure she’ll do well enough for herself.

Tron Legacy at Comi-Con

I’m stoked. Concept Video from Tron 2 from last years Comi-Con is now available on-line.

Sweetness.

Jon Gosselin Has Another Girlfriend. Dude Doesn’t Waste Any Time.

Just one day after Jon Gosselin’s 22-year-old girlfriend/giance gushed about her romance with Jon Gosselin, it turns out he might have another girlfriend: Kate Major. Let’s just call her Kate 2.0, like the rest of the gossip press.

Kate is a reporter for Star Magazine. Apparently, she’s always wanted to be a tabloid story herself. Because now she is. Jeeze. Maybe it’s just better for Kate of Jon disappears. What a freak.

Michael Jackson Rehearsal Footage to Be Released as Theatrical Movie

Gotta cash in while the cashin’ in is good, I guess.

More on this upcoming cinematic masterpiece from Ain’t It Cool News.

The film will feature at least three videos, including an alternative version of Jackson’s “Thriller,” which were shot to be interstitial programming during the London concerts. The footage was meant to play in 3-D, but it’s unclear as yet whether the feature film will present it that way.

Laterz, Peeps.

The Economic Recession is Over!

Obama puppet Larry Summers said so. His evidence? People are searching less for the term “economic recession” on Google.

So. There ya go.

Bank Robber Calls The Police On Himself

Terrence Germani, who described himself as “mentally unstable”, called the police to tell them he was going to rob a bank.

Man wants to go to jail, so calls police to tell him he's going to rob the bank.

Brilliant. Free room and board, free food. Doesn’t get any better than that?

In other news, teacher Heather Zeo is arrested for having sex with students. It’s a crazy world, these days. I tell you what.

She's cute, too.
She’s cute, too.

I suppose we should feel bad for her students, but it’s hard to. Although I certainly don’t feel bad for her, either. Of course she’s going to get caught. I remember how many tall tales guys would tell about bedding the hot teacher when I was in school–chances are, if they had really had sex with the hot teacher, they’d post it on a billboard.

If you’re a teacher and you have sex with a student, you’re going to get found out. One way or another, that student is going to tell somebody, probably a lot of somebodies, and then it’s only a matter of time. Consider yourself warned, cute-but-naughty vixen teachers of America.

Wellp, I think I definitely see what Terrell Owens sees in here. Hmmm.

Michael Jackson’s Head on Fire

Because inquiring minds want to know.

Some folks think it led to his prescription drug addiction, his plastic surger obsession, and his love of dressing like the President for Life of Teeny-Tiny-Toy Town. Somehow, I doubt it.

Ah, well. Laterz, my peeps.
