Iron Man and Indy 4! Which poster evokes more geeky “ohhs and ahhs”?
For me it would have to be Indiana Jones 4. It’s been a long time coming and the trailer looks fantastic, fun and funny, and pure classic Indy! Not to diminish Iron Man, cause even though I am not a fan of the comic or the character, this movie does look like it’s gonna rock out loud!
The wonderfully inspirational TV show Made is a hidden gem amongst all the vapid, drunken, twenty-something-dunder-heads usually infesting MTV’s reality show offerings. Yup, believe it or not, there is an actual reality show out in TV land that isn’t soulless and exploitative! MTV’s Made is as entertaining as it is winningly motivational. The show provides a normal, average teen (no celeb parents here) who as a goal – typically one who fits squarely into one of the traditional High School social class structures; like a nerd, a brain, a flamboyant drama kid, a band geek - and gives the kid a coach and six weeks to achieve said goal and become the ice skater, the Hip Hop dancer, or the Pro Wrestler!
The genius and power behind Made is that each of these kids has to stretch far past themselves to accomplish their dream; like the most recent terrific episode featuring a gay Choir singer who wanted to connect with his tough, older brother and to also show his bullies at school that is far more than just the gay kid, by becoming a Pro Wrestler with TNA Wrestling! After six weeks of dedication this determined teen got into the ring and battled it out in a three-way tag team wresting match in front of all his family and friends!

Forbes recently came out with it’s list of all the richest people (jerks) on the planet and stuck in that incredible group is 23rd year old self-made Billionarie (not Millionair people, Billionarie) Mark Zuckerberg.
For those not in the know Zuckerberg created Facebook; the super addictive, mega-popular, online social networking site. That darn site made him a freakin’ Billionarie! Can I be anymore jealous?
Geeze, at 23 I was working a low-paying job as a file clerk at some crappy law firm, going to school part-time without any idea on what I wanted to “be” when I grew up, living at home with my sister and parents, and driving a beat-up old car I was handed and forced to drive when I turned 17.
How it must be to be 23 and have the whole world in front of you! Congrats Mark Zuckerberg, you are living the American Dream!
Madonna, the cultural icon, style horse, and queen of controversy is about to make her 910th return to glory and popularity with her upcoming disc!
With an introduction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this month, a new single (which I have heard and totally love!), and a Hip-Hoppy new album in April, Madonna is going to be all over the media.
So are we excited (I am!), annoyed, or does this pop singer even rate on the everyday-person’s radar anymore? Does the 50 year old gal still have it in her to make a splash and rise to the top? Is she still sexy at the half century mark?
I suppose the next few months will tell the tale, but either way you have been warned; Madonna is going to be everywhere, whether you like it not!
Wanna see the alternate ending to “I Am Legend”? Fer Shure you do! Watch it here before it gets taken down! (To bad the zombie people still look super fake!)

Yes! The first photos have emerged from the upcominc Watchmen movie! Directed by the excellent dude behind “300″ these shots look just about right, which will put many a comic nerd at ease!
Check the rest of these bad boys out here: http://rss.warnerbros.com/watchmen/2008/03/one_year_to_go_1.html
It’s a genuine invasion now, and boy is it getting frightening! Those devilish Skrulls have managed to infiltrate the ranks of one of comicdom’s oldest, most powerful, and most beloved groups: the venerable Archie Gang! Is nothing sacred?
I always knew that Jughead was up to no good! That hat, those hamburgers, his “stonery” non-stoner manner. Total Skrull!
Why hello there Prince Eric! You never looked more delicious or lickable, and I simply adore your Ariel tattoo!! This cheeky artwork is courtesy of forward-thinking David Kawena and his underwear-tastic portfolio entitled, appropriately enough, Disney Heroes! Kawena’s gives each Disney Prince some much needed and welcome time in the spotlight striking some serious modely poses in their “unmentionables”! Eat your heart out David Beckham!

Gee, doesn’t this trailer for Mike Meyers new movie “The Love Gurg” seem, I dunno, super familar? Like, uh, maybe a tad too Austin Powersy - like it’s just Austin Powers dressed as a dude from India?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPz5e9TvYIs&eurl=http://justjared.buzznet.com/page/2/
All the same humor, much the same cast (hi Mini Me Verne Troyer!), and *gulg* a porno-stach Justin Timberlake in a *shudder* speedo! Yes, Justin freakin’ Timberlake! Speedo. Oye!
Now I love me some Austin Powers, those movies are well truly hilars! But this? I can’t help but feel I’ve seen all these jokes and story set-ups before, and dare I say it, done better? Why not just make a fourth Austin Powers movie and call it a day?
Teen star Ashley Tisdale jumped the plastic surgery shark and got herself a nose job! Did she pull an Ashlee Simpson and vastly improve herself or is she the new Jennifer Gray, who made herself virtually unrecognizable?
Either way, the dear girl’s former schnoz is forever enshrined in plastic! Her High School Musical doll mockingly retains the gal’s former profile and serves as a stinging-ever-lasting reminder of her pre-altered, beaky self. Bummer!
Maybe next time lass you ought to check with Disney marketing before you go and get nipped and tucked!
Buffy meets Fray in the upcoming Buffy #16!
‘Nuff said!
Who doesn’t love the idea of some “big-boned” lady heroes kicking ass and taking names! Image a real world, plus-sized Wonder Woman and Ms. Marvel soaring through the air? Now that would be something revolutionary to see in the world of the skimpy, but-cheek revealing, female hero in comic books!
These fantastic pieces are but a few of the tantalizing images by Steve Whitaker, who sadly passed away this week. Please visit his amazing site to look at the work of a true creative soul!

Ugh! I mean, just, ugh! There are far too many things wrong with this idiotic poster, but a Storm-driven lightning crotch shot, that for sure takes the cake and craps all over it!
