It's like Glee meets Twilight meets Vampire Diaries meets High School Musical meets Degrassi meets looks surprisingly fun

Best Carl Sagan remix ever. Today

Thank you Garnet.

Jay Leno has some words about his sponsors

Congrats, Jon Gosselin, you'll have more time to dress like an idiot

TLC is relegating Jon Gosselin to the sidelines. Jon & Kate Plus Eight will now be Kate, Her Festering Bitterness & All Those Annoying Kids Who Will Soon Need Braces.

TLC says, "The program will continue to capture the incredible lives of the eight Gosselin children and their family but will now include a deeper focus on Kate’s role in the family and her journey as a single mother building the next chapter in her life.  TLC will continue its exclusive relationship with Jon Gosselin and he will continue to appear on the show, but on a less regular basis. Given the recent changes in the family dynamics, it only makes sense for us to refresh and recalibrate the program to keep pace with the family. The family has evolved and we are attempting to evolve with it; we feel that Kate’s journey really resonates with our viewers. Additionally the network is in development on a Kate project for 2010”

See Conan O'Brien fall down, go boom

I had PVR'd Friday night's show because Seth MacFarlane was supposed to be a guest and I'm in love with his brain, and was disappointed to discover on Saturday morning that it was some lame rerun. Now, of course, we know that Conan fell and hit his head while taping some triathlon stunt thingy with Teri Hatcher. He'd better invite MacFarlane back.

Admit it. You want one

For the low, low price of US $610 openingceremony.us will sell you an adult-sixed Where The Wild Things Are Max suit.

Filmmakers sign petition for Roman Polanski

We have learned the astonishing news of Roman Polanski’s arrest by the Swiss police on September 26th, upon arrival in Zurich (Switzerland) while on his way to a film festival where he was due to receive an award for his career in filmmaking. His arrest follows an American arrest warrant dating from 1978 against the filmmaker, in a case of morals. Filmmakers in France, in Europe, in the United States and around the world are dismayed by this decision. It seems inadmissible to them that an international cultural event, paying homage to one of the greatest contemporary filmmakers, is used by the police to apprehend him. By their extraterritorial nature, film festivals the world over have always permitted works to be shown and for filmmakers to present them freely and safely, even when certain States opposed this. The arrest of Roman Polanski in a neutral country, where he assumed he could travel without hindrance, undermines this tradition: it opens the way for actions of which no one can know the effects. Roman Polanski is a French citizen, a renown and international artist now facing extradition. This extradition, if it takes place, will be heavy in consequences and will take away his freedom. Filmmakers, actors, producers and technicians—everyone involved in international filmmaking—want him to know that he has their support and friendship. On September 16th, 2009, Mr. Charles Rivkin, the US Ambassador to France, received French artists and intellectuals at the embassy. He presented to them the new Minister Counselor for Public Affairs at the embassy, Ms Judith Baroody. In perfect French she lauded the Franco-American friendship and recommended the development of cultural relations between our two countries. If only in the name of this friendship between our two countries, we demand the immediate release of Roman Polanski.

New song from Britney

First there was the Christmas music from Bob Dylan, now there is this. Tuesday is turning into a joyous feast for my ears.

New Twilight posters

Is it just me or does Robert Pattinson's head look really, really big? I mean, he wouldn't be able to buy a hat in the normal-sized boys' section. I know the hair is magical and everything, so maybe it's just a trick, but that head belongs on a grown-up, not a tiny, sparkly stalker.

While we're at it, here's another photo of the hair, who appears to be delousing himself in public. It's from a British magazine called Another Man.
