Here Is What Happens When You Cast Lindsay Lohan in Your Movie. If you haven't already read this run don't walk to the New York Times web site right now. The Times had an embedded journalist on set of Lindsay Lohan's latest film The Canyons. Lindsay's behavior is getting all the press, but parts of the story that interested me more were all the behind the scenes production stuff. It's a real interesting read.
The Man Who Killed Spider-Man. Short but good article by the Village Voice about Dan Slott (the writer for The Amazing Spider-Man) and the shitstorm surrounding the "death" of Peter Parker.
King of the Nerds Crew Member Responds to Backlash. A few years back there was a show on the CW called Beauty and the Geek, where they would team up a stereotypical nerdy guy with a stereotypical hot chick to compete against other teams of beauties and geeks to win fabulous prizes. It was totally exploitative and had a lot of "hey look at how stupid/nerdy this guy/girl is" moments but at the same time it went the extra mile to present the contestants as actual people with actual human feelings (who knew, right?). TBS's King of the Nerds looks like they will take that same format give it a wedgie and stuff it in a locker. F-U TBS.
Wrangler’s New Jeans Are a Skin-Softening Spa in Your Pants. Not wanting to be pigeonholed as the jeans that keep you from squishing your balls, Wrangler has invented jeans that will moisturize your skin as you wear them. I am not making this up.
