He even suggests that the stiff Romney take a cue from the graceful Sarah Palin, who is a “constant pleasure

Rihanna has posted behind-the-scenes photos on her facebook page that show her from every angle.

When Silver Sable blows up the factory, Spider-man chastises her but then proceeds to literally rip the Rhino a new one.

Saturday Night Live head writer Seth Meyers is teaming up with former SNL producer Michael Shoemaker to create a new superhero cartoon. The Awesomes is about “an unassuming superhero and his cohorts battle diabolical villains, the ever-present paparazzi, and a less-than-ideal reputation as second-class crime fighters.” It will debut on Hulu in 2013, as part of the company’s move toward original programming, but has been in development since 2007.
