Celebrity Buzz He took Tebow's name in vain. Bill Maher, noted atheist, profanely tweeted about the loss Tim Tebow and the Broncos suffered at the hands of the Buffalo Bills on Christmas Eve. Fox News was not amused. An online effort by Tebow's many minions has been launched to get HBO to cancel “Real Time With Bill Maher.”

On Monday, August 8 HBO will air a documentary about idiots who are going to get themselves shot real-life superheroes. They’ll be turning their cameras on costumed do-gooders like Mr. Xtreme in San Diego and the New York based Dark Guardian. And as any good superhero will tell you there’s three things you need to help you fight crime: Martial arts training, costume design skills and your very own poster. Well, at least they’ve got the poster. (Via)
TV Buzz For all you buzzfeeders and George R. R. Martin fans who could not make it to Comic-Con 2011 (or even more devastating, those that had passes but were not able to make it into the Game of Thrones panel), here is everything that went down at one of the hottest panels this year; this includes the cast being questioned by Martin, what to expect from season 2 and 3, the always awkward fan Q&A, and the answers to what each member of the cast would do if they could end the series.
Something HBO should maybe consider for season two.
