CRAZY Monday Afternoon Goings On


In SHOCKING, NO! REALLY!?!?!?! news (thanks Keith Larson)

Sarah Palin has officially joined the Fox News Network in a variety of roles on the Business and News sides of the network. Fox News said that while Ms Palin would not have her own program, she would appear on the channel on a regular basis as part of a multi-year deal.

Mark McGwire finally came clean Monday, admitting he used steroids when he broke baseball's home run record in 1998.

Simon Cowell has confirmed today that this IS his last year on "American Idol". He's bringing his English show, the "The X Factor" here to the states for Fox. This puzzles me as he already produces the same show formula but as an American version of the show on NBC called "America's Got Talent".

Many news outlets are reporting that the current host of "The Tonight Show" is very upset. Five months after relocating his family, his company, and everything else in his life to Los Angeles, Conan O'Brien is reportedly ready to leave NBC over talks to move Jay Leno back to his old spot on the late-night lineup. I don't blame him. The REAL winner of this is Jimmy Fallon and Carson Daly (yes, he's STILL on TV).

in NOT so SHOCKING! NO! REALLY?!?!?! news:

While (not because of) production on Spider Man 4 is temporarily delayed, Marvel Studios has begun production on Kenneth Brannaugh's "Thor" movie- TODAY actually. Nathalie Portman will play the love interest in this.

Whitney over at USA Today's Pop Candy is reporting that Stan Lee will guest star on The Big Bang Theory

Slash says he has turned down millions to reunite with Guns N' Roses.

Another Star Trek movie concerning the NEW timeline and new kids on the bridge is set for a 2012 release.

In other stuff,

5.China's online game revenues hits $4 billion in 2009. The US in 2009 had about $1 billion

Former NBA star Jayson Williams, his personal life in shambles, took responsibility for accidentally shooting his limousine driver to death eight years ago by pleading guilty Monday to assault and agreeing to serve at least 18 months in prison.

While Marvel sues to keep it's main comic book characters, it's also suing to invalidate the Kirby family's copyright claims. In a lawsuit filed today in New York City, lawyers for Marvel assert that Kirby's work for the company was "for hire," invalidating the claims of the heirs.
