Well, my brain just exploded. Of course, I'm on my all-new no-sugar, no-carbs diet, so any mention of hamburgers, hot dogs, or ex-New Kids on the Block makes me ravenous. Still, this is straight-up incredible news: Marky Mark and brother Donnie Wahlberg are opening a burger joint called Wahlburgers. Reportedly, every burger will come dressed in a tiny pair of Calvin Klein undies, with miniature abs carved into each individual bun. Just kidding! But that would be great if it were true, right?
The AV Club:

She sure didn't stop there, though. As you can see from the side-by-side comparison I snatched off TMZ, Carrie Fisher has been nipped, tucked, pinched, and pulled in nearly every direction.

What kind of horrible person would do this? Someone who hates laughter? Someone who hates fun? The Associated Press reports that Late Late Show host Craig Ferguson was mailed a threatening letter containing white powder; both the LAPD and the FBI are investigating. (Neither agency will discuss details, of course, but we do know the letter was sent from France. The powder itself was confirmed as harmless.)
This is really creepy stuff, though! Craig Ferguson seems like a totally arbitrary targ...
So I just spent a very long time at the post office, waiting to pick up a package. The clerk took my little orange slip and wandered off, and I literally never saw her again. Thirty minutes later---that's 30 real-world minutes, not 30 "feels-like" minutes---a guy peered out at me and asked me if I needed anything. I was fuming, of course, because all of this occurred after I got off the phone with State Farm (I'm on Month Two of begging an adjuster to look at my car, which was brand new, was ...
And who is Ray Bradbury, you ask? (How dare you!) He wrote Fahrenheit 451 and The Martian Chronicles, of course! And if you've never heard of him, believe me when I guarantee you've read his short stories. The man is prolific. Also, he's not dead!
While this is hardly conventional celebrity gossip, the man---the myth, the legend, et cetera---turned 91 on Monday. Happy birthday to my hero! (A friend sent me this incredible link yesterday, as well.)

The hell? On the heels of her happy announcement last week, Hilary Duff has officially been dropped from her next movie, as TMZ reports, because she's pregnant.
Duff was slated to play Bonnie Parker in the upcoming Bonnie and Clyde bio-pic, but evidently, producers (or whoever) can't picture the notorious criminal as having a happy, healthy glow and a great rack (and, okay, maybe a paunch, too).
But what's the big deal? If you ever watched Ghost Whisperer, you'll remember that the camera found new, ridiculously fascinating ways to h...
Truthfully, I like Josh Groban. For a while I wasn't too sure about him---I received a Groban Christmas CD one year, cementing my real and lasting fear of pop opera---but the kid is undeniably funny, funny, funny.
In the clip above, Groban visits Piers Morgan Tonight; there, Groban makes light of Morgan's overwrought Twitter-tweets by singing them aloud. And seriously, he makes Piers Morgan sound like the lyric book from Les Mis! Ha ha ha!
This isn't the first time Groban has been hig...
HOW LAME is it that Chris Brown still has a career? Like, I can totally understand the instinct to needle him on Twitter, because the dude is an entitled twerp.
So Fox News's Andy Levy started a little Twitter spat with Chris Brown, and---no, duh, because this is the Internet---Chris Brown's jillion fans went on the offensive. Dear fans: Fox News's Andy Levy is sorry. (But not really.)
I hope you brought along your sense of irony! />

David Cross is 47 to Amber Tamblyn's 28.
And I'm of two minds, here: for one, I'm newly 29, which is old-young, and I've had a crush on David Cross ever since Men in Black. (Tamblyn, in the meantime, starred in The Sisterhood of Traveling Pants.) So their age difference---of nearly 20 years---does not surprise or titillate me, sorry. Another thing: when David Cross did a set at my university, afterward, I was like, wow, that dude really likes people my age! And no offense, but, uh, yeah, he ...
Step out of the limelight, Kate Plus 8: reality show LA Ink has also been canceled, TLC announced today.
But Kat Von D tells a different story:
Soon after the above tweet, she issued a statement to People in explanation of her decision to quit the show. "In an effort to capitalize on my recent breakup, the network has decided to focus their energy on re-editing events that didn't happen while filming," she said, adding that "any attempt to compromise the honesty" of her reality show "would be an insult" to her viewers.
And while I don't necessarily look to reality television for, you know, in...
As if you'd ever look to Jersey Shore for fashion advice!
Youth clothing outlet Abercrombie & Fitch offered money to the Jersey Shore cast to not wear Abercrombie's clothing. Yeah, like that'd make my 15-year-old self more likely to wear one of Abercrombie's dumb T-shirts.
Then, after the company advised Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino to stop wearing its threads, Abercrombie's stock fell by 7.5%. Ha!
"If [Abercrombie] Don't Want Us To Wear Those Clothes," Pauly D wisely tweeted, "Why Make GTL S...

Ever wonder why presidential candidates have to be at least 35 years old? Here's why.
Eleven-year-old Caroline Gonzalez of Forney, Texas won the title of "mayor-for-a-day"; she used her newfound municipal clout to rename Main Street in honor of Justin Bieber.
"The tween politician's act won't cost the community much," the HuffPo reports. "Officials say the sign was made for about $20 and would only be displayed Tuesday." Boo! Hiss! Here's how I figure it: if a town is going ...
