Over the course of his 50 year career, Glenn Ford — best known to modern audiences as Jonathan Kent in 1978's Superman — appeared in nearly 100 films, most of them in the 1950s and 60s, during which he was almost ubiquitous in Hollywood.
Former NASCAR champion Rusty Wallace walked away from an accident in which a driver talking on her cell phone ran a stop sign and collided with Wallace's SUV — then used the occasion to tout the safety of his Dodge Durango.

For those of us out there that did enjoy Superman Returns and have anxiously been awaiting the announcement of when, who, and what about a sequel – there may yet be hope. Although this news is just a few days “old,” Superhero Hype was reporting via an article Variety magazine had on investors, Legendary Pictures, the production studio behind Superman Returns, was entirely supportive of investing again in a sequel with Bryan Singer at the helm. They have made a profit now on Superman Returns and are interested in co-financing a sequel. Although Warner Brothers will require Singer to cut back a bit at their demands, it may still happen. We’ll hold out for more news and eventual confirmation soon enough (as this wouldn’t be slated until 2008 or 2009 at its earliest.)

Stephen Colbert Rules.
Taking an example from the popular Star Wars Kid video on YouTube, Stephen grabbed a lightsaber, went in front of a greenscreen and put on moves so smooth and dangerous that they would make Obi-Wan cower in the corner. Why did he do this? Well, to let fans create their own video mixes.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – While researchers have long shown that tall people earn more than their shorter counterparts, it’s not only social discrimination that accounts for this inequality — tall people are just smarter than their height-challenged peers, a new study finds.

Calling his "increasingly erratic" behavior "unacceptable," Viacom chairman Sumner Redstone yesterday demanded that comedian-director Jerry Lewis be removed from the company's Paramount lot "by force if necessary." Speaking to reporters outside his Los Angeles home, the 83-year-old Mr. Redstone said he was "alarmed" by Mr. Lewis's "spastic dancing on the T.V. and so forth," adding "I have a responsibility to our shareholders." When informed by a reporter that Mr. Lewis hasn't had a contract with Paramount since 1965, Mr. Redstone responded "My point exactly! What's he done for us lately?" Mr. Redstone then ordered some kids off his lawn.
