Emma Watson Loves Kevin Costner, America
5 days ago
Simply put, Emma Watson is awesome.
The actress sort of hates on The Kardashians… hilariously slammed reports that she would star in 50 Shades of Grey… and is mighty talented to boot.
Watson is also featured on the latest cover of W, providing a few more winning looks into her personality. To wit:
How she lived in denial of her fame: “Ignoring fame was my rebellion, in a funny way. I was insistent on being normal and doing normal things. It probably wasn’t advisable to go to college in America and room with a complete stranger. And it probably wasn’t wise to share a bathroom

3 months ago
The Death Star, undoubtedly a worthwhile undertaking but not on the Obama administration’s radar, is now on Kickstarter if you want to help build one.
A recent White House Death Star petition was denied, citing Obama’s “we don’t blow up planets” political stance and the potential fiscal nightmare.
Now, a new Kickstarter project wants to pick up those plans, using an open source design effort and trying to raise funding to help make it happen.
A LOT of funding.
The project has a $30,000,000 funding goal, which would be used to create “more detailed plans” than the initial

The Mayan calendar was off the mark today.
December 21, 2012 is here and so are we. What a JOKE. On the plus side, at least after the end of the world doesn’t happen today, we can stop reading about it, right?
One wonders why we ever even did.
“There’s no real prophecy that says this is the end of the world,” said Christopher Powell, a noted Mayan archeologist, told ABC. “Not from the Mayan ruins, anyway.”
The Archaeological Institute of America adds, “Whatever the significance of the date is, it is significance we put on it; it’s not the significance the Maya put on
