2 – Put a zippered door and a lightweight plasma TV inside this thing and I think I’ve found my new apartment. [via JoshSpear]
3 – The White Wizard is back and all you demons should duck and cover, beyotches! Ian McKellan has officially signed on for the Hobbit films, soon to be directed by Guillermo Del Toro. No word yet on any of the other cast that actually appear in these prequel stories, but honestly, who cares. Old dude, white hair, big stick. That’s all the army you really need to fight any battle. [via FilmDrunk]
4 – I’m a big fan of Jonah Hill, but I’m not sure if this new rumor about him co-starring against Shia in Transformers 2 is a good thing or not. He could be funnier than what they tried in the original with John Turturro, but don’t try and make me choose between him as a sidekick and more Megan Fox footage, because you don’t want to see me get angry like that. Grrr… [via Coming Soon]
5 – With the taste of the WGA strike finally beginning to leave our mouths, SAG is getting ready to show that actors can do anything the writers can and they’ll look better doing it. The current contract negotiations between SAG and the AMPTP are going nowhere and their contract ends on June 30. So watch all the TV you can right now, people, we might be back to game shows and reality debauchery before the summer is over. [via Variety]
6 – I might actually drink tea is it was made in this futuristic kettle of coolness. Or I would put hot cocoa in it with the marshmallows so I could watch them float around inside. Hours of enjoyment, seriously. [via uncrate]
7 – Marylin Manson helps develop a new brand of Absinthe. It actually wins an award at the 2008 San Fransisco World Spirits Competition. Hell may not have frozen over, but they are all certainly drunk and hallucinating now. [via uncrate]
8 – No one believed me when I said puppies were the root of all evil, but now this article about lesser known addictions proves me right. Take that, naysayers. [via GorillaMask via Cracked]
9 – Ever want to just sit back and watch tidbits of text float by telling you what people in the interweb either loved, hated, felt, wished for, etc.? Of course you did, well, here you go. Welcome to Twistori. [via Erin]
10 – For those of you tired of seeing all the insane ways people have found to play the Super Mario Brothers theme song, i’ve mixed things up for you and found people with way too much time on their hands and an unspoken love for Tetris. [via Pandachute]

1 – Could my dream come true? Could 90210 and Full House be combined into one magical TV experience? The answer is YES! Lori Laughlin, who many remember as Uncle Jesse’s way-too-attractive-for-him girlfriend on Full House, has signed onto the 90210 spinoff show. If the momentum continues and they do sign pop/media sensation Hilary Duff, Lori will be playing her mom. If we don’t get an Uncle Joey cameo in there somewhere, i’m going to be very perturbed. [via Variety]
2 – The kids who played Final Countdown by Europe on their cellos just got served. [via GorillaMask via afrojacks]
3 – I’m digging the poster campaign here. Making it feel like the Joker is trailing right behind Batman on the promotional tour and screwing around. Nice touch, marketing gurus. [via Film School Rejects]
4 – USB jump drives are getting weirder by the second, but leave it to a Japanese company to combine creepy with cute into something that you just can’t stop yourself from wanting. Personally, the pirate USB drive is calling to me in my sleep. After the jump, you’ll find there is actually a contest to win some of these little geek toys. Yaaarrrrr… [via JoshSpear]
5 – As many suspected, the intensely awaited film Blindness is going to open the coming Cannes Film Festival. Hopefully it will not take long to get from there to the local theaters because I am already dying to see it. [via Variety]
6 – OK, this has been going on for a couple days now, but it’s time to let it go. Miley Cyrus took what many consider to be a risque photo for an upcoming issue of Vanity Fair. The photo was taken by visual arts legend Annie Leibovitz. As you can see from the photo (scroll to the bottom to see the final photo) there is a lot of skin showing and the subtext is to make it look like she’s naked, but the issue comes to bear when you remember that Miley Cyrus is 15 years old. So, was Annie wrong for setting up this photo? Were the editors of Vanity Fair wrong for printing it? Were Miley and her parents wrong for agreeing to it? Personally I think it was a little bit of all of the above, but the truth remains none of this would be an issue if some of the more outspoken and vocal members of society didn’t get all in a huff over it. Now it’s turned into another case of everyone pointing fingers at each other to blame and Miley being whisked out of the spotlight to try and force people to forget as quickly as possible. Disney execs have already stated that she will not be appearing at any events or public signings for four to six months. The only thing I am worried about is that she seems primed and ready to turn into the next Britney-trainwreck-fallen superstar-VH1 special-cliche. That’s just one thing we really don’t need to go through again. [via Defamer via The Superficial]
8 – My only real question about this video is: Was the trombone really necessary? [via GorillaMask via unibrow]
9 – I posted this video a long time of a teacher drawing an actual perfect circle on his blackboard, but it resurfaced and still has the power to creep me out. Even creepier is the other, harder to find video, of him drawing a perfect BLT sandwich in the same amount of time. [via Pandachute]
10 – I hope you all realize that this video game is the first step in us being able to draw things that will instantly come to life. Here’s comes the Super Giant Robot Panda!!! [via swissmiss]

1 – If only they had better geometry and math teachers when Mario was in school, he would have known what he was in for. [via the art of taking of your sunglasses]
2 – The Harry Potter superfans are now going to have yet another way to confuse their reality with the one J.K. Rowling created. Warner Brothers announced they are planning a traveling Harry Potter Exhibition to descend on around 17 major cities. No word yet on what it will entail or what the tickets will cost, but I imagine both answers will be something extraordinary. [via ComingSoon]
3 – Why can’t the right half and left half of our brains just get along? This is why. [via College Humor]
4 – Is it too much to ask for me to have one of these on the roof of my apartment building? Seriously. [via Film School Rejects]
5 – In what could be a major boost to the buzz on the 90210 spin-off sequel, the execs are reported going after teen singing and movie sensation Hilary Duff. I’m not sure I see her making the jump back into TV land, but this could turn into a major project, so it remains to be seen. I predict right now though, if she does get on the show, you will see a musical performance at the Peach Pit by episode 3. [via IMDB, last item on the page]
6 – Now there is a new duke in the political arena. Welcome the one commentator who pulls no punches, bends to no will but his own, and still has to ask for rides to the movies…it’s Sexman. [via FilmDrunk]
7 – The perfect gift for your photography addicted friend, who just also seems to be a fashionista-in-training. [via swissmiss]
8 – Yet again, beyond my own capitalistic desires for people to buy novelty t-shirts from me, I have to bow down to the chuckles this Rock Band parody shirt brought me. The only thing I might add is some text on the back that read, “Same song again? Here we go!”. [via militant geek via think geek]
9 – 6 our of 8 in this weeks Filmwise Quiz. I feel a little spiffy right now. [via Filmwise]
10 – Finally, simple easy to follow diagrams for pregnant women who might be finding their decision making skills a little on the fritz. [via sexyandfunny]
