The insane cable host has a bizarre notion: Rally people in D.C. to recapture the spirit of the country in the days following the attacks of 9/11. No word if Beck's going to try to lobby automakers to bring back those great zero-financing deals we all were offered back then.
Humo Magazine's shamefully offensive ad reminds us that the most tragic event in our nation's recent history is but weeks away! Most nauseating ad for a magazine ever? Mission accomplished.
Movie Buzz Brace yourselves: Hasbro is taking over Hollywood. If you loved the idea of movies based on popular action figures, you will doubtless be THRILLED to discover that several beloved board games are set to become blockbuster films in the near future. Yay?
Business Buzz The online stock trading site Zecco surprised its customers with fake multi-million dollar balances. Ha-ha! But then something happened… People started buying lots and lots of real stock! Now, everybody's screwed. Woopsies, Zecco!
Although it appears to be listed nowhere online, an artistic retrospective of Lindsay Lohan hangs in a gallery on Broadway in Manhattan, which I felt necessary to capture on film and share with the Hypertubes.
Culture Buzz Michelle Owen's plan to bust her boyfriend's child porn habit backfired when cops found videos of her getting a lickin' from her beagle, Toby, in the computer's recycling bin. She claims they “were just something she did when she was drunk and barely remembers,” but sadly, Toby does. Try to avoid adopting any beagles named Toby in Whiteland, Indiana for a little while. They might have strange reactions to peanut butter.
TV Buzz Yup, you read that right: The Soup's Joel McHale and the 1970's Chevy Chase are partnering in Community, an NBC sitcom in which McHale's lawyer returns to community college and meets Chase's character, described only as a man who has been married five times. Let the battle of handsome, snarky TV personalities (and former handsome, snarky TV personalities) begin!
Music Buzz Rihanna and Chris Brown will be making sweet music together, reportedly recording a duet for Brown's next album. Big wheels may keep on turning, but this probably isn't the best message to send to the kids considering the circumstances.
Tech Buzz Woot! has a top 10 list of video game ideas that keep getting rejected. Help me come up with more of these, and I will be your best friend forever. I'll be busy working on some cover art for these.
This $5.25 mistake replaces fish for roast beef, and is therefore a total failjob. Do not want, unless of course we ever find ourselves hungry in the deepest recession since the Great Depression and … oh, right, ok pass the beef.

The rom-com about unlucky ladies and gentlemen in love (imagine that!) is looming on the horizon, and apparently the marginal characters - or “three gays and a Black guy” - prove to be almost as insulting as the fact that He's Just Not That Into You was made into a movie. To be fair, we should've seen coming in the trailer when Drew Barrymore's flock of geighz insist that “MySpace is the new booty call.” Ugh, nobody says that, gay or straight.
Tech Buzz A new series in which engaged couples hoping to tie the knot on MySpace (how romantic!) will be chosen by the site's users, who will thereupon plan the big day. So for the lovebirds prepared to essentially fulfill the wedding fantasy of many an emo teenager, get out that camcorder and start professing. It's going to be **AweSum!* <3 <3
Politics Buzz The New Republic is reporting Tim McGraw is seriously thinking about running for governor of Tennessee in 2010. McGraw is a hardcore Democrat with absolutely no political experience, but is hoping name recognition alone can get him the job (Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ronald Reagan, etc.) Tennessee Democrats are apparently desperate for a big name Democrat to take on Bill Frist in 2010. Personally, I'm all for this. Faith Hill as first lady!!!!
Stephen Baldwin. Killer sharks. Venice. TV Movie. We all win. Sunday, December 14, 2008. 9:00pm. Be There.
Movie Buzz Will Smith's son Jaden is going to star in a remake of 80s epic The Karate Kid. This could be worse than the Psycho remake. Or The Next Karate Kid, for that matter. Just remember Hilary Swank, everyone.
