Movie Buzz In an interview with “The Hollywood Reporter” Thursday afternoon, Lucas explained that the famous Mos Eisley Cantina shootout was hardly altered in the 1997 Special Edition of “Star Wars: A New Hope.” George always meant for Jabba's green bagman to be the first to draw.
Celebrity Buzz This made me love her all over again. When asked by MTV News how she felt about reports that Justin Bieber wants to remake her movie, “Fear,” Reese Witherspoon responded in the best way possible. (via Dlisted)
Culture Buzz This is so good. Belzer recently interviewed Gilbert at the New York Friar’s Club, where they discussed the latter’s “too soon” brand of humor — in particular his 9/11 joke at the Hugh Hefner roast (held three weeks after the terrorist attacks) and those despised Japanese tsunami tweets in 2011. Yes, this is worth 19 minutes of your time.
Movie Buzz Sounds like the fan boy backlash is finally getting to the God of Flannel.
TV Buzz That didn't take long. It's never officially an awards show night until Giuliana Rancic pisses someone off on the red carpet. Well, consider tonight's Golden Globe Awards officially official!
TV Buzz “Look it up.” Two days after tugging on Lady Gaga's wig in an interview with Newsweek, Madonna went and snatched off the whole damn thing on last night's “20/20,” the first time she publicly addressed the issue of similarities between Gaga's “Born This Way” and her song, “Express Yourself.”

Oh thank God for that plastic bag! No offense to this old snooze, I’m sure he is a bland lovely man.
TV Buzz On a lighter note, he also discusses how he named his daughter after “The Legend of Zelda.” From the UK's “Graham Norton Show.”
Culture Buzz Jerry Sandusky, the former assistant football coach charged with 40 counts of child sex abuse, breaks his silence on the Penn State scandal with Bob Costas. And he unsurprisingly denies all the charges. “Horsing around” and “horseplay” are terms that are now forever tainted.
Bob Costas obtained the first interview with former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky. Here it is in its disturbing entirety.
Culture Buzz On the heels of the revelation that the judge who freed Jerry Sandusky on bail was a donor to Sandusky's Second Mile charity, and the incredulous questions as to why she did not recuse herself, here are some more unanswered questions surrounding this awful scandal. Not to get into the realm of conspiracy theory, but there are some very disturbing “coincidences” surrounding this case.
Culture Buzz Jerry Sandusky in a 1987 NBC interview: “I enjoy being around children…I just have a good time with them.” “Everybody needs people to care for them, even if sometimes they don't want it.” *shudder*
Music Buzz It's sort of difficult to hear what the GN'R front man says, what with his beads and jewelry clanking around the whole time. But props to VH1 Classic for honoring National Metal Day (11/11) right.

I wish this reporter was my dad. At the very least, I wish this reporter was my reporter.
And it does not go well. The Insider scored an exclusive interview with Justin Bieber's alleged baby momma, and she mostly just cries and storms off through the whole thing. Not that her credibility was impeccable before this interview, but it's certainly lost quite a bit of stock since. And this is just what's aired so far. Yeesh.
Sports Buzz In April of 1988, The Greatest Fighter told a reporter in Japan that Smokin' Joe Frazier was the greatest foe he ever faced in the ring — referring to their iconic “Thrilla in Manila” bout in 1971.
On Sunday's Face the Nation, Herman Cain defended his wacky campaign ad that has his chief of staff Mark Block smoking a cig. “Let Mark be Mark,” Cain said. “Let people be people.” That's when host Bob Schieffer nailed him for running an irresponsible ad, and the GOP candidate started singing a different tune.

Politics Buzz Ron Paul expresses his disgust over the endless parade of nonsense at the GOP debates. (via gtcha.me)
Celebrity Buzz He looks dead. During a live satellite interview with KBAK in Bakersfield, California, legendary actor and activist (actorvist) Harry Belafonte is caught in a terrifying state of rigor mortis. The anchor's reaction is priceless.
