<![CDATA[Don't Panic But There Are Fifty Giant White Rabbits in Union Square at This Very Moment]]> They claim to be looking for Alice and the Hatter. They have also been leaving rabbit pellets all over the Interwebs for the last week in the name of that noble pursuit. We are semi-terrified and semi-intrigued. What the pellet?

So if you are indeed Alice or the Hatter, get on down to Union Square. Or maybe you should hop on the 6 train and ride it to the farthest point you can away from Union Square. We're not sure what these rabbits have in mind. All we know is that we are totally going down to Union Square right now to see what in the Leporidae hell is going on.

Alice | Two-night event | Premiering Sunday, December 6, at 9PM (ET/PT) |Syfy

Starring Academy Award-winner Kathy Bates as the Queen of Hearts and Caterina Scorsone (from TV's Crash) as Alice.

Trailer below!

UES (Upper Echelon shoes) founders Seth Campbell and (D.J.) Nick Cohen met on the Upper East Side when they attended high school together at Browning. They decided to combine their families' businesses-jewelry and sneakers-to design fancy, blinged-out kicks. Find high-end sneaker models in leather, denim, and corduroy in a disco ball's array of colors-accented with buckles, studs, grommets, or the shop's signature chain laces in gold, silver, or gunmetal here.

<![CDATA[Warm Fuzzies: Sports Luminaries Get Spiffed Up for Charity]]> On Oct. 20, some serious philanthropy went down in NYC at Foot Locker's On Our Feet Gala. Mickey Rourke (?!), Dennis Rodman, Brandon Jacobs, Cobi Jones, and New York Jet Braylon Edwards broke out the tuxes and showed their support.

The Foot Locker Foundation's annual event benefits the United Negro College Fund. For the past six years, the event has benefitted the UNCF through a scholarship program that provides deserving students the opportunity to reach their fullest potential. Who knew Mickey and Dennis had such hearts of gold?

<![CDATA[This Book Really Ties the Room Together]]> Not that anyone really needs a reason to (re)ingest the Coen brothers' oeuvre, but the new book The Dude Abides by religion writer Cathleen Falsani will propel you to your Netflix account and Slanket-nest of a sofa post haste.

In The Dude Abides, Falsani wends through the Coen brothers world of theodicean psychopaths, laconic lamed-vavniks and moments of true grace—otherwise known as Anton Chigurh, The Dude, and when Ulysses Everett McGill sees that cow standing on the roof of a cotton house.

Ever wanted to know what Zen Buddhism has to do with Barton Fink? How exactly Fargo is a perfect example of a Christian morality tale? How The Hudsucker Proxy illustrates the Tibetan-Buddhist concept of bhavacakra with a dash of divine intervention?

Find out in The Dude Abides, out tomorrow. New shit has come to light!

<![CDATA[A Very Gawker Wedding Announcement: Kerry McCashin, Chris Batty]]> Kerry Lynn McCashin, daughter of Mrs. Lynn McCashin and Dr. Fred McCashin of Southern Pines, N.C., was married yesterday to Christopher Porter Batty, son of Mrs. Jill Corbett and Mr. Derek Batty of Long Island, N.Y. Time to embarrass them.

The bride, 32, will be taking her husband's name. She graduated from UNC Wilmington in 2000 and most recently worked as an Art Director at McCann Erickson. In early 2009 Kerry left her job to focus on the arduous task of planning a massive wedding, something she accomplished with serious gusto. There was even an oyster bar! Her father is a world renowned equine veterinarian at the Carolina Equine Clinic, and her mother is the director of development and community relations at ChildSavers, a non-profit organization committed to the mental well being of children.

The bridegroom, 36, is our boss at Gawker Media. As VP of Sales for the past 5 years, Christopher championed the sponsored post format that you're currently reading (see, we told you this stuff works!), as well as various other advertising innovations you've all complained about at one point or another. He graduated from Tulane in 1996 as a Sigma Alpha Epsilon (ask him about the tattoo) and no longer has a warrant out for his arrest in the state of New York. His father and mother don't have LinkedIn or Facebook pages, so we can't really tell you what they do.

The wedding was an absolutely stunning affair, complete with black tie reception and entertainment by New Orleans' own Kermit Ruffins. Of course, most of Gawker Sales and HQ found our way down to the coniferous outback for the ceremonies, pictures of which can be found below (photo creds to Katz).

The Gawker Sales team wishes Chris and Kerry all the best together. Congratulations!

<![CDATA[Craigslist Stars in the New HBO Series Bored to Death]]> Together-at-last trio Jason Schwartzman, Zach Galifianakis, and Ted Danson star in Bored to Death, a new HBO comedy series based on a Jonathan Ames story from his collection The Double Life Is Twice As Good.

Bored to Death follows a fictionalized Jonathan Ames (Schwartzman), a Brooklyn-based suspense-novel writer who is dumped by his girlfriend because he pays too much attention to drinking white wine and smoking pot and not enough attention to her and writing. Seems fair.

What's this down-on-his-luck fellow do? Turn to Craigslist, of course. But Jonathan doesn't troll for Missed Connections or seek out a Casual Encounter: he pimps himself out as a private detective. He is a suspense-novelist, after all. And fiction is sometimes more appealing than reality.

To his considerable surprise, Jonathan is hired by desperate clients to solve a variety of cases that he pursues while avoiding working on his second novel and while writing occasionally for a magazine (run by eccentric editor George Christopher (Danson). He also passes time with—and sometimes enlists the help of—his pal Ray (Galifianakis), a cartoonist.

Guest stars on the first season include Olivia Thirlby, Heather Burns, Kristen Wiig, Parker Posey, Bebe Neuwirth, Oliver Platt, Patton Oswalt, Jim Jarmusch and John Hodgman.

Bored to Death Sundays at 9:30 pm ET. Only on HBO.
