Before we fall too far into the hole and get completely enveloped by the self-imposed destruction of celebrities, let’s take a look at the ever-evolving world of superhero movies, shall we?
SUPER-MILF!
It turns out our newest Superman has a hot mom. Diane Lane, a stunning and capable actress (And the ex of Highlander Connor MacLeod himself!) has been cast as Martha Kent in the Zack Snyder-directed Man of Steel reboot coming December of 2012. Here’s the official press release drafted by the minions of the douchebags in suits who are paying for this thing.
Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures announced today that Oscar®-nominated actress Diane Lane will play Martha Kent, the only mother Clark Kent has ever known, in the new Superman movie to be directed by Zack Snyder.
Snyder stated, “This was a very important piece of casting for me because Martha Kent is the woman whose values helped shape the man we know as Superman. We are thrilled to have Diane in the role because she can convey the wisdom and the wonder of a woman whose son has powers beyond her imagination.”
Lane will star with Henry Cavill, who was recently announced as the new Clark Kent/Superman.
And of course Marth is only one part of the home-spun equation that gave us the Clark Kent we all know and love, what about her better half? Kevin Costner is the only serious contender whose name has been tossed about recently, but I’m not sure if he’ll have the necessary chemistry with Lane to sell the farm couple to audiences.
Keep looking to the sky…
HOW LOW CAN HE POSSIBLY STILL GO?
“If you’re a part of my family, I will love you violently.” – Charlie Sheen.
And he wonders why his ex-wife had the kids removed from his “care”? Still, you have to wonder just what Brook Mueller is thinking – first, she jets to the Bahamas with her ex-husband, his porn star girlfriend and a “nanny” and poses for photographs with them that appear all over the world and give the impression all three of them are making “Sheen Sandwiches” together!
Then, she lets him do one crazy interview after another, endangering his career and her alimony and child support meal-ticket. Oh, and during these interviews/rants he continually mentions his “goddesses”, one of whom isn’t her! To top the whole mess off, she claims he threatened to cut off her head and so she convinces a judge to grant her a restraining order that includes sons, Max and Bob, so the kids get pulled from Sheen’s home on-camera for all the world to watch with a collective, “What’s next?”
Sheen really has great taste in women, doesn’t he?
CAREER SELF-DESTRUCTION: NOT JUST FOR CHARLIE!
It looks like somebody is a little jealous of all the attention Sheen has been getting lately. Why else would Christina Aguilera keep shooting herself in the foot as far as her public image is concerned?
First she screws up the national anthem at the Super Bowl, then she stumbles at the Grammys and finally, she decides to get arrested for public intoxication. Even fellow pop star Pink has taken a public shot at Christina on Twitter.
Responding to the ‘Burlesque’ star’s arrest for “public intoxication”, Pink tweeted, “Out of Myself, Britney, and Christina- didn’t everyone think I was gonna be the troublemaker? Look Ma!! No Cuffs (sic).”
Of course, the singer is now on damage control. According to Entertainment Weekly, the singer has signed on to be a coach/judge on the Mark Burnett-produced singing competition, The Voice. She’ll join ’Forget You’ singer Cee Lo Green and Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine at the judging table.
“I am so excited to be part of such a wonderful project that celebrates music and the talent behind it,” an apparently sober Aguilera said in a statement. “To be given the opportunity to help shape new artists’ careers and mentor them to see their dreams come to fruition is a task I welcome with open arms. I am so happy to be working with fellow Grammy Award winners Adam and Cee Lo as I feel there is so much we can all bring to ‘The Voice.’

Going back to work already, Christina? Apparently you’re not following Charlie’s career trajectory too closely, although many believe you both like the ladies a bit too much.
#176: DC Comics “New Coke” Approach To Their Logo!
First they overhauled their entire universe and launched the “New 52″.
This has actually worked out – so far – and sales are very healthy so enough said.
Now however, they’ve redesigned their company logo and set off a division in their fan base.
I can see what they’re going for here; there’s a Watchmen inspired logo and Green Lantern emerald power logo but the rest have me stumped. Still, it’s their company, they can do what they like with their logo. I just hope they don’t pull a “New Coke” and piss off their fans before returning to the status quo a few months later.

Take a close look at the DC logos below: you can see a smooth evolution between designs through the years, something that is now missing. The new looks suggest the “D” is peeling back from the funky “C”.
Some observers are suggesting the new logos are symbolic of a regime change at the comic book giant, I hope this isn’t the case; company politics shouldn’t spill over to the finished product… ever. Parent company Warner Bros. may be sending a message to their #1 competitor, Marvel Comics owners Disney.
If the boys in suits want Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse want to duke it out, fine. Just keep it in the funny pages, won’t you, boys?
Other observers are suggesting someone simply fell asleep at the switch and forgot that a comic book company’s logo should reflect their fun and creative attitude.
Personally, I love this one…
