Watch: DOWNTON ABBEY in Drag with “Snore”
A costume drama with drag queens? Yes, please. Like many of us, these queens were not happy with death after death in Downton Abbey season 3. So Michelle Visage, William from RuPaul’s Drag Race and Neil Patrick Harris’s even hotter other half David Burtka, among others, made a nice little spoof of the show to the tune of Madonna’s “Vogue.” This, my friends, is heaven. The only thing better would be an entire series of Downton Abbey episodes remade with drag...

There’s no such thing as a Zac Efron movie without a wet Zac Efron
This isn’t the blog post I had in mind writing when I saw Ramin Bahrani’s masterful American drama At Any Price. The film stars Zac Efron and Dennis Quaid (who gives the best performance of his career) as a sparring father-son duo living and working the land in the Corn Belt. At one point in the movie, Zac Efron, wearing a white wife-beater, dunks his head and upper body into a water tub and whips his body back out, soaked through. No surprise. A wet Zac Efron. He must have it in his contract that he needs to be wet at least once in ever movie he’s in. Just look. He’s wet in The Lucky One He’s wet in 17 Again And in Charlie St. Cloud He’s even wet in Me & Orson Welles He’s wet (and dancing in the rain)...

Awesome HUNGER GAMES t-shirt from Nowhere Bad
I’m sure there have been others, but this is the first time I’ve seen a Hunger Games t-shirt pop up on one of the daily tee websites. And being a devoted member of Team Gale, I just had to get Nowhere Bad’s “Everdeen Hunting Co-Operative” shirt from designer Brandon Wiebe. You can nab one, too, but only for the next few days. Tees cost $12. Prints are $10. Or get both for $20. I got the tee. Now I don’t have to worry about what I’ll wear to The Hunger Games opening on March 23,...

Nike’s BACK TO THE FUTURE II shoes become a reality?
We might not have hover boards or flying cars, but most city’s have something resembling Biff’s Casino. (Cleveland’s is coming this year!) Soon we’ll also have the shoes. That’s right, Frank Marshall clued his Twitter followers into a big announcement from Nike coming this evening. And it looks like you’ll finally be able to own Marty McFly’s Nike MAG shoes from Back to the Future II. Check out the video linked from Marshall’s tweet: What do you think? Are you going to pre-order a pair?...

Don Cheadle is CAPTAIN PLANET, Motherf*cker
While this isn’t nearly as epic as Neil Patrick Harris’s off-the-cuff remarks about sex with Smurfs on The Daily Show (something that made the whole Smurfs thing worth it), Don Cheadle lets the f-bombs fly in this adaptation/spoof of the 90s children’s series Captain Planet. Something tells me that when Turner makes the actual live-action movie that it won’t live up this. (Though I’m pretty sure that when James Gunn took on the Scooby-Doo movie, he hoped to get away with something like this.) Check out the video that destroys a children’s pop icon then lets him rise from the...

Ground control to Major Tom: Bowie’s SPACE ODDITY is now a children’s book
Oh, to be a kid again. Back when I was young, my mom read Goodnight Moon and/or Have You Seen a Giraffe In a Hat to me before I went to bed. I love you, Mom, but I totally got ripped off. Kids these days can now have David Bowie’s Space Oddity read (or sung?) to them at bedtime. Right now, it’s an unofficial eBook, so you’ll have to download it and read it on an iPad. But I’ll be sure to put in on the Christmas list for all the youngsters in my family — when illustrator Andrew Kolb gets the right to have it printed. Check out the original Wired article for more images from Space Oddity. What do you think? Would you buy the Bowie children’s...
