Freaking Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday! 19 days until Halloween! Only another few hours until I get off of work for a couple of days before my weekend playtime. We tied a high temperature record yesterday at 86 degrees. Gonna be 86 or so today as well. Welcome to fall!!

Here's some stuff I saw on the ol interweb today..


On this day in 2000, two suicide bombers attacked the destroyer USS Cole while it was at anchor in Aden, Yemen, killing 17 of its crew members and injuring 39 others.

Remember the story from last week concerning the discovery of an earth like planetin another galaxy? Well, apparently, scientists 2 years ago received a "mysterious pulsing light" from that area. Read more HERE

Lions Gate is offering to merge with MGM..
Another public car crash while filming the upcoming 'Transformer 3' movie- see it HERE

Sony Pictures has just announced Rhys Ifans, the Welsh actor perhaps best known for roles in "Notting Hill", "The Replacements" and several other films, will play the villain in Marc Webb’s "Spider-Man" reboot

Scripts for "The Flash" and Green Lantern 2" are expected to hit Warner Bros. by Christmas.

NBC today pulled the plug on legal drama Outlaw after putting the freshman series on production hiatus last week. It hails from Conan O'Brien's once NBC-based production company Conaco.The remaining 4 original episodes of Outlaw will air Saturdays at 8 PM over the next five week (preempted on October 30th for a previously scheduled Shrek special).

KIM JONG NAM, eldest son of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, who has said he opposes a chain of empire that would see his younger half brother, Kim Jong Un, succeeding his father.

Kind of an interesting/funny story at CNN for those of us employed.

Matt Damon won't be in the next "Bourne" movie. The franchise's next film, "The Bourne Legacy," will not star Damon or even feature Jason Bourne.
The Gap's new logo is a no go. Belk's new log is a go.

I read over at Whitney Matheson's blog, Pop Candy, over at USA Today that Napoleon Dynamite is coming to Fox television- in the form of a cartoon.

I also read over there that "they" are bringing the old school "Family Circus" cartoon live action style to the big screen.

The NFL has hired former Sports Illustrated model Marisa Miller as their newest spokesperson.

and finally, Good bye Bobby Cox. The longtime Atlanta Braves manager's final game was last night when the Braves fell by one run to the San Fransisco Giants in the NLDS 3-2. I don't belive there is a manager in baseball history who has lost so many "one run" games. Anyway, I'll let the professional sports writers write eleoquent stories abotu Bobby's final game last night. All i can do is publically thank him for all teh great and heartbreakign moments with the Braves over the years and wish him a well rested, satisfying life.
