Goodbye, Paula Abdul.

I don't watch American Idol anymore, but when I did, I wanted nothing more than to lose Paula Abdul off the show. When they threw the other lady judge on there, I wished so desperately that it was the beginning of the end of Paula. Looks like it was?! Time will tell...

Pixar's "UP" + Technology

I would love to sit in on a Pixar movie from start to finish and just gaze in awe and wonder. Especially the technology that goes into it. This explains the amazing technology that they had to use for UP.

Scorsese + Sinatra

Boy, this is exciting! I'm dying to see this and see who gets cast in it. I did a quick Google search and saw Johnny Depp's and Leonardo DiCaprio's name. I'd vote the latter, for sure. But we shall see!

Colbert + Nasa

This article is awesome. I happened to be channel surfing one night (a very rare occasion) and came upon The Colbert Report. Colbert was calling for the Colbert Nation to unite and hit up Nasa's site for naming a new international space station and name it... You guessed it. "Colbert". I started laughing and reached for the laptop, but couldn't find the link on his site just yet. Then I read this...


Oops: Colbert wins NASA space station name contest


WASHINGTON - NASA's online contest to name a new room at the international space station went awry. Comedian Stephen Colbert won.

The name "Colbert" beat out NASA's four suggested options in the space agency's effort to have the public help name the addition. The new room will be launched later this year.

NASA's mistake was allowing write-ins. Colbert urged viewers of his Comedy Central show, "The Colbert Report" to write in his name. And they complied, with 230,539 votes. That clobbered Serenity, one of the NASA choices, by more than 40,000 votes. Nearly 1.2 million votes were cast by the time the contest ended Friday.

NASA reserves the right to choose an appropriate name. Agency spokesman John Yembrick said NASA will decide in April, but will give top vote-getters "the most consideration."

Blockbuster + Tivo

I don't exactly know what came of, or what started, the news about Blockbuster's supposed bankruptcy, but it doesn't sound like they're going out too soon, or at least not without a fight. Their days have been numbered since Netflix and Redbox started dominating the video rental market. We shall see what happens to the once-behemoth Blockbuster soon enough. Death to high rental prices, I say!

"Guitarist sues over 2008 Coldplay hit"

LOS ANGELES - A noted guitarist has sued members of Coldplay, claiming the band's smash hit "Viva La Vida" copied parts of one of his songs.

The copyright infringement lawsuit by Joe Satriani was filed Thursday in federal court in Los Angeles.

The 52-year-old claims Coldplay copied "substantial, original portions" of his 2004 song, "If I Could Fly." The Coldplay hit, which was nominated for a Grammy this week, has topped charts around the world and been used to sell iPods in commercials.

Representatives for the band and their label, Capitol Records, did not return calls seeking comment on Friday.

Satriani wants a federal judge to order an accounting so he can determine how much money he may be owed, or else stop using the song.
