Obama Gives Queen iPod
The President thought he'd promote his "cool" image by giving the Queen of England an iPod. Too bad she already had one.

Tina Fey has an OKFACE
This fake commercial ran during 30 Rock. I actually liked it. It's nice when it seems like somebody OTHER than Tina Fey has written part of the script.
Style Goes Low-Brow
What do men and women fighting with their in-laws have to do with style? Well, nothing. Unless you're referring to the capital "s" Style. Style Network will air a Canadian show about in-law problems. I may watch if they can promise more emotional devastation than Wife Swap.
Four More Years!
After the worst season in its history, The Real World was renewed for 4 more seasons. Hopefully, people actually have sex and get drunk next season.
Are you not entertained by two pansies yell-fighting?
Who You Gonna Call?
What's better than a star-driven, action-packed, big-budget film with a guaranteed audience? The answer is nothing -- at least to the studios. Sony has announced that they will release Ghostbusters III and Men In Black III in 2011. Also, Ain't It Cool News broke news about the return of Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray in GBIII.
Fox F's Everybody (In Ratings)
FOX, long known for its scandalous programming, took home the highest ratings on Tuesday. This is somewhat surprising since the Osbournes managed to scare everybody away with their low-quality variety show. About 16 or so of FOX's affiliates chose not to run the show due to questionable content... or lack of entertainment value.
Jack Osbourne is RELOADED... whatever that means
Heroes Gets Into Shark-Jumping
I'd call myself a Heroes fan and I still watch the show. But these images are the exact reason that I'm slowly (rapidly?) losing faith in this show. POSSIBLE SPOILERS.

Fashionably Entertaining
Rejoice! The Project Runway lawsuit has been settled and the show will air on Lifetime. We know that you -- errr, your girlfriend -- were wondering how that would pan out.
Tim Gunn's nickname is Cannon... I just made that up
Pushing Daisies to rise from the dead... on DVD
Pushing Daisies is the stylistically bold creation of Heroes writer Bryan Fuller. The show ran on ABC and was effectively murdered by the writers' strike. Season 2 ended after only 10 episodes ran on air. The DVD, set for release July 21, will also include the three un-aired episodes remaining in Season 2.
Edit: Turns out ABC will be airing the final episodes some time during the summer.

Hopefully, Fuller will be released from the death grip of "Heroes" soon
What would you do with $40,000?
If you answered "create a cover story for New York Times Magazine", you're in luck. Because that's about how much it takes to produce one of those stories.
Pirates and Wolverines
The Internets have gotten their hands on the workprint of the upcoming release of "Wolverine". Does it matter? Sort of, not really. The last workprints we saw were American Pie and Blair Witch Project. They're watchable, but it's not really worth it. However, we did prefer the American Pie workprint's use of "man chowder" over the final cut's "pale ale".
Logan is hunting PIRATES
The Media's Mumbo Jumbo
David Letterman has been lampooning the talking heads on 24 hours news with his segment the Late Show News Recap. The first video collected clips of over 20 reporters saying "bong" after Michael Phelps got busted. The newest release rounds up videos of news people rattling off ridiculous rhyming phrases like "razzle dazzle" and "super duper". Check out the Late Show News Recap via HuffPo.

Warner Bros spends $13 BILLION on The Pirate Bay
Likely fake but still interesting, TorrentFreak reports that The Pirate Bay has been acquired by Warner Bros after a failed lawsuit. You could also by twitter AND facebook for $13 billion -- but whatever. At least the (fake) logo is cool.
The WB was chasing Swedish booty. Excellent choice.
Real Housewife Gets De-Wifed
Real Housewife Luann to get real divorce and become real rich. Luann de Lesseps, one of the "stars" of Bravo's Real Housewives of New York, has separated from her husband who had found himself a new Ethiopian honey in Geneva.
