Emily Blunt & John Krasinski Engaged

John Krasinski and Emily Blunt announced their engagement this week. They are both really cute and very enjoyable. Maybe John will match up his Office wedding with a real life one of his own.

Custom Muggs

Starwars.com had several artists, comic book creators, toy designers, and celebrity fans design custom Star Wars Mighty Muggs. They’ve been featuring each one on their website. All will be auctioned off for the Make A Wish Foundation. Here are a few I really liked.

An Office Wedding

It looks like Jim and Pam are going to tie the knot this season on The Office, and they’re getting the nice wedding they both want. Here are some pics of them filming the episode. They both look really cute.

Carrie Fisher with a Gun!

Here’s the trailer for the upcoming horror flick Sorority Row about a group of sorority sister that kind of accidentally kill their sister. They hide the body and act like nothing happened. It’s a remake of the 83 film The House on Sorority Row. I would say a bunch of sorority girls getting killed should be entertainment enough to see this, but then I found out Carrie Fisher is in it! She plays the house mother and the trailer shows her talking to the killer while holding a big gun. I’m already getting Blues Brother flashbacks. I know that I have to see it now.

It's A Katamari Friday!

Anna Paquin Loves Her Bike

Recently I’ve seen several different pictures of Anna Paquin riding around on her pink Hello Kitty bike. If I had that bike I would ride it around everywhere too. Look at the cute white basket. That’s one classy ride.

10 Things I Hate About You

If you haven’t seen the ABC Family television show based off the 1999 movie you should watch it. The show is definitely better than the film. The writing is much better and far more believable. The Kat character seems to make more sense. In the movie, Julia Styles was supposed to be the scary outsider girl but really she looked more like that hippie girl who wears hemp and listens to Widespread Panic. In the show, Kat is played by Lindsey Shaw and is a more realistic as the strong feminist character. The younger sister Bianca is not the selfish, spoiled girl from the film. Instead, she just seems like a girl who desperately wants to be popular. She has good intentions and a very sunny outlook on life. The show’s cast seems to be more fitting and believable as a remake of Taming the Shrew. Anyway, the show is good, much better than the movie. Check it out Tuesdays at 8 pm on ABC Family.

The Flatwoods Monster

On a recent road trip I stopped in the town of Flatwoods, WV. This is where the Flatwoods Monster was sighted in 1952. It is a ten foot creature with a red, glowing face and a green body. I just love a good monster sighting. Unfortunately I wasn’t around during the yearly Flatwoods Monster festival, but the town did have banners with the monster’s picture hanging along the streets. Here is a blurb about the discovery.

7:15 PM on the evening of September 12, 1952, two brothers, Edward and Fred May, and their friend Tommy Hyer (ages 13, 12, and 10 respectively) witnessed a bright object cross the sky. The object appeared to come to rest on land belonging to local farmer G. Bailey Fisher.

Upon witnessing the object, the boys went to the home of the May brothers' mother, Kathleen May, where they reported seeing a UFO crash land in the hills. From there, Mrs. May accompanied by the three boys, local children Neil Nunley (14) and Ronnie Shaver (10), and 17 year old West Virginia National Guardsman Eugene 'Gene' Lemon, traveled to the Fisher farm in an effort to locate whatever it was that the boys had seen.

Lemon's dog ran ahead out of sight and suddenly began barking, and moments later ran back to the group with its tail between its legs. After traveling about ¼ of a mile the group reached the top of a hill, where they reportedly saw a large pulsating "ball of fire" about 50 feet to their right. They also detected a pungent mist that made their eyes and nose burn. Lemon then noticed two small lights over to the left of the object; underneath a nearby oak tree, and directed his flashlight towards them, revealing the creature, which is reported to have emitted a shrill hissing noise and to have begun to glide towards them before changing direction and heading off towards the red light. At this point the group fled in panic.

Many of the witnesses also suffered the same illness after encountering the creature.

The Final Destination

Here's the trailer for the fourth Final Destination movie. It looks really good. There is crap flying everywhere which should be interesting since the film is in 3D.

Where the Wild Things Are!

Since I'm reminiscing about my childhood today I figured I should post this because it looks fantastic. It's directed by Spike Jonze and is going to be released on October 16th. I can't wait.

Pee-wee is Back!

That’s right. Paul Reubens is reviving one of the greatest characters from not only my childhood but all time. The Pee-wee Herman Show is a theatrical production that will run from November 19-29 in Hollywood. The show is going to be similar to the original stage performance which led to the great Pee-wee’s Big Adventure and Pee-wee’s Playhouse. Several of the characters from the show will make an appearance including some of Pee-wee’s frequent visitors, Chairry and Pterri. Tickets go on sale today. I hope it does well. Here’s a little Pee-wee nostalgia.

Vomit Inducing

I know it's mean to post this seeing how disgusting it is but I couldn't stop myself. They are sooo gross. But I thought I'd add a little something to help wash the vomit taste down with. This is what their child, hoping they never have one, could look like.

John Hughes Dies at 59

Writer/director John Hughes died of a heart attack Thursday morning in New York. He made some of the most memorable movies of the 80’s and 90’s including The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Sixteen Candles, National Lampoon’s Vacation, Pretty in Pink, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, Home Alone, Uncle Buck, and Weird Science along with many others. Molly Ringwald released a statement saying,

"I was stunned and incredibly sad to hear about the death of John Hughes," Ringwald said in a statement. "He was and will always be such an important part of my life."

"He will be missed - by me and by everyone that he has touched," she added. "My heart and all my thoughts are with his family now."

A Friday of Katamari

In honor of one of the best video game series ever, I thought I would post some wonderfully delicious Katamari photos every Friday. Consider them a little happy time that signals the weekend is coming. For those of you that don't know what Katamari is go play it. There are games on PS2, XBox 360, PSP, i Phone, and several cell phones. It's one of the prettiest and most random games with a great soundtrack. Rolling objects up with a ball will never be the same again.

Oops Vanessa Hudgens Does It Again

20 year old High School Musical star/ Zac Efron’s girlfriend seems to be reliving the nude photo scandal from 2007. More nude pics have made their way to the internet. It’s funny because just a week or so ago she was on the cover of Parade and discussed the first scandal in it.

"That's why I'm extremely guarded. I really do try to watch everything I say. Because one little tiny slip, and it's like the world is coming to an end!"

Hmmm… maybe she should stop watching what she says and start watching what photos she takes of herself. You would think celebs would learn by now. Nude photos and sex tapes always get leaked. It also seems a little convenient her name is popping up all over the place since her movie Bandstand is being released August 14. Maybe this beats the band competitions in malls she’s been judging as promotion. Oy.

A True Blood Engagement

Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer have taken their cute romance to the next level. Reps for both actors have confirmed that the two are engaged. Paquin, 27, and Moyer, 39, have been “officially” dating since early this year. The two True Blood stars have seemed really happy whenever spotted out together. I wonder if this will have any effect on Moyer’s character Bill sticking around longer on the show than he does in the books. I hope so.

Might Muggs

Mighty Muggs have to be one of my current favorite toys. They’ve been out for a couple of years now and look similar to giant lego versions of characters from Star Wars, Marvel, G.I. Joe, Indiana Jones and Transformers. They’re made from 100% recycled awesome, reason enough to enjoy them.
