MacBook Air or WMD?

It seems that airport security is not quite up to speed on the latest technology. A man was recently stopped after security scanners didn’t believe his MacBook Air was a real computer. Macuser.com had the story: Programmer Michael Nygard travels a lot—for business, you see. He’s got his routine down to a science, from airport to hotel, and so he was surprised and dismayed to suddenly find himself in an airport security holding area while TSA agents cautiously inspected his suspicious laptop. “‘There’s no drive,’ one says. ‘And no ports on the back. It has a couple of lines where the drive should be,’ she continues….” Holy bomb-in-a-laptop, Batman! It seems like TSA agents aren’t trained in keeping up to date with technology. It wasn’t until a younger agent who’s familiar with these crazy … Read entire article »

Arrested Develpopment film planned?

IMDb reported this news: Actor Jason Bateman has confirmed plans are underway for a movie version of cancelled TV sitcom Arrested Development. A rumored meeting between the star and series creator Mitch Hurwitz late last year fuelled speculation a big-screen adaptation of the cult show was in the pipeline. And now the Juno star has confirmed the cast has received calls from executives asking if they would be interested in reviving their roles once the ongoing Hollywood writers strike is over. He tells E! News, “I can confirm that a round of sniffing has started. Any talk is targeting a post-strike situation, of course. I think, as always, that it’s a question of whether the people with the money … Read entire article »

Heath Ledger found dead

This just in from IMDb: Actor Heath Ledger was found dead at a Manhattan apartment Tuesday afternoon in what appeared to be a possible drug-related death; he was 28. The actor was discovered in one of the SoHo apartment’s bedrooms at 3:31 p.m., when a masseuse arrived for a scheduled appointment and the residence’s housekeeper went to inform the actor of the masseuse’s arrival. He was found unconscious and unresponsive; the New York Times stated that the apartment in question belonged to actress Mary-Kate Olsen, who was not present and was believed to be out of state. An initial police report also cited by the New York Times said that foul play was not suspected and that pills had … Read entire article »

Trashwire rings in 2008 with new layout

In 2002, Trashwire.com was just a little Tripod website where my friends and I posted weird news stories. In the past five years, we have grown to become an entertainment news and pop culture commentary site, added a blog, created YouTube videos, and covered everything from Lindsay Lohan to Leopard for Mac. The site has also had a few face lifts over the years and grown along with our knowledge of site-building. On January 1st, 2008, we launched another re-design of the site. This new layout feels more like a blog and offers readers more access to stories and resources right from the front page. You can view the five most recent articles in a convenient sidebar, leave comments on stories, search the archives more efficiently, and bookmark your favorite articles … Read entire article »

Please tell me this isn’t true

VH1 had this posted on their blog today: Yes, Britney Spears acts totally, effing insane. But it’s not that’s she’s crazy – it’s because she’s pregnant! Again! If this is true, it could mark the start of the apocalypse. They went on to say: According to numerous tabloids, Britney’s been lugging around baby #3 for four weeks. Apparently Brit even emailed around a pic of the ultrasound last week (she knows how to email?) and the rumored father of her baby, producer J.R. Rotem, has supposedly confirmed the news (er, he probably confirmed it by leaving the country). Looks like another Spears spawn will be entering a world of caring parents and kid-safe living… oh, wait, I mean, they WON’T be doing that at all. VH1 claims: But a baby isn’t going to like growing … Read entire article »

Big Brother resurrected by WGA strike?

Variety reported that CBS could bring back everyone’s favorite summer guilty pleasure a little earlier than expected. It seems that with the writers’ strike, CBS is going to be turning to its reality shows to generate some new programming. BB could return as soon as February and could even be a special Celebrity Big Brother season since there are so many actors (*cough* D-Listers *cough*) out of work due to the strike. Variety noted: There’s been buzz that the next edition of “Big Brother” might actually use celebrities, as opposed to ordinary people. A long strike might work in favor of such a plan, since some celebs normally busy working on sitcoms and dramas might have some time on their hands. While it sucks that great shows like ’30 Rock’ are … Read entire article »
