Courtney Love Addresses 'You Gawker People'
I'm not sure what you guys wrote in the comments section of yesterday's item about Courtney Love's attack on Ryan Adams regarding all that money someone stole from her. But Ms. Love sure noticed. On her Myspace page today, she remarks, "I had a very heavy evening but since we are becoming terrifyingly great, I'm happy to oblige you Gawker people for about oh one more millisecond." Her full message after the jump. More »Watch the Watchmen Trailer!
What can comic book and action movie fans look forward to now? Well, Watchmen, of course! You know, 300 director Zack Snyder's adaptation of Alan Moore's groundbreaking graphic novel. Lucky for me, the trailer just hit the internet this weekend. So have a look. More »Supercool Star Wars Art
Yeah, yeah, The Dark Night beat Revenge of the Sith's opening day record and now it's gone on to beat Spider-Man 3 for biggest debut ever, but I still love Star Wars more than anything, and so we celebrate with neat Star Wars art from a photoshop contest over at Worth1000.

The media attention being paid to Senator Barack Obama's trip to Afghanistan this week has all the usual wing-nuts crying that the press isn't doing enough to cover Republican Presidential candidate George W. John McCain. "'The question really needs to be posed: Is this type of coverage fair?' said Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va. 'This is nothing but a political stunt.'" More »

Monkey Menace Reaches Terrifying New Level
It's a well-known fact that the monkeys have been plotting against us since the days of yore. But their terrible plans will get sped up quite horribly once they've mastered the skill of banking. That's right. Someone's been teaching the little hellions how to use money! "[O]ne can get some clues as to how evolution prepared us for money from the burgeoning research that seeks to present animals with economic choices. To gain perspective on human financial decisions, one may ask, what would monkeys do?Keith Chen and Marc Hauser at Yale University taught monkeys about resources that bear a strong resemblance to money. Monkeys don't care about money, per se, but they do care about marshmallows." More »Doing Crack With David Carr
A memoir worth reading? Imagine that! New York Times media reporter David Carr's Night of the Gun comes out next month, and it's been treated to a nice nine-page excerpt in today's NYT Magazine.

As any of my close friends will attest, I don't know a damned thing about music. But I do know when I like it, and I especially like it when it's used to wonderful effect in cinema or television. So what's your favorite example(s) of such use? As usual, the rules are loose and fast. It can be a bone fide musical number, or a scene that simply uses music especially well (Is that a "score"? I have no idea about this stuff.) Anyway, here's my first entry. Add yours! More »Gay? Bi-Curious? Beach-Lover? Don't Let This One Get Away!
This went up yesterday, and it's still live, so your summer could be made! "So here's the deal... I'm usually in the Hamptons with my girlfriend at my folks house, not far from the town of West Hampton. However, luck would have it that my folks are going away for a week and we're at the house alone. We like to mix it up and have fun with another guy, keeps our relationship interesting and fresh. She's only into guys but knows I like getting it on with another guy while she either watches or gets involved. So what I'm offering is this... if you're looking to get away from the madness of your share house this weekend and looking to stay with us for a couple of nights, let me know how willing you are to please us... sexually. If we think it matches with our style, we'll expect you this evening. Here's a picture of me for starters..." More »Gillian Anderson Hands Annoying Interviewer His Ass

I don't know anything about 'The X-Files' [...] Why is it such a big deal?" What on earth can you say? Well, there's this. More »Brenda's Back on '90210'!
Sure, plenty of the old classmates from the original Beverly Hills 90210 have signed-up to be the CW's revamp of the cheese-TV classic. But forget those suckas. It was just announced today that simmering, lazy-eyed, trouble-making beauty Shannen Doherty is coming back! More »More Killer Sharks Off L.I. Shore!
They get a little closer every day! Just yesterday one of the meat-crazed super-fish was defeated by a crew of life guards after it snuck up on some swimmers at Jones Beach. That's a real beach! Not some silly, pissy Hamptons beach where you deserve to be chomped into chum! More »
