Dear Lord. Twelve figures would buy a lot of brooms. The damage wrought by the showdown between Loki and The Avengers would've racked up an estimated $160 billion in clean-up. That's about double what it cost to clean up and rebuild following the Sept. 11 attacks. And still, one scientist calls Loki's boys "amateurs" compared to the aliens in "Independence Day".

Well, there's good news and bad news for sci-fi/supernatural fans who watch FOX. Good news! "Touch" has been renewed and will be back for a second season. Bad news: "Alcatraz" won't be back and the May 11 episode of "The Finder" will be the "Bones" spin-off's series finale.

Well, that's that. Earlier this week, John Travolta was hit with a $2-million sexual harassment lawsuit by a Los Angeles masseur. There was just this one problem: Travolta can prove several times over that he was on the opposite coast on the day the alleged incident took place. The apparent scammer claimed that Travolta stripped naked, masturbated and tried soliciting sexual favors from the man.

Well, that's another character seemingly off the books. Fans have been speculating that in July's "The Dark Knight Rises", "Inception" co-star Marion Cotillard would be playing Talia al Ghul, Ra's al Ghul's vengeful daughter. Not so, Cotillard tells The Hollywood Reporter. Point in fact, it's nothing that big and actually a character on the other side of that good-evil spectrum.

It's sad but true: a big title is off the 2012 gaming calendar. Take-Two Interactive's "BioShock: Infinite" looks to be pushed back to Feb. 26, 2013 from its planned October 2012 release. Sources say the move was made to make major improvements that couldn't be squeezed in otherwise, and that the game will be "going dark" between now and its release.

Hey, don't get mad. Get snarky. Two nominations in minor Tony Award categories had producers behind "Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark" a little put-out. So they compromised. The afternoon of the Tonys, their show - whether critics like it or not - will in fact have more Tonys than any show on Broadway....

The prosecution reportedly called the defense's closing statement in William Balfour's Chicago murder trial "desperate." Balfour stands accused of murdering Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother and nephew, but public defender Amy Thompson claimed that the prosecution proved nothing during the two weeks of testimony. In his last words to jurors, lead prosecutor James McKay claimed that "calling [Balfour] a dog is an insult to dogs."

Sure, it's burning up the charts. Sure, it's got a film development deal. But to America's public libraries, porn is porn. Many are refusing to carry E.L. James' "Twilight"-inspired "Fifty Shades" trilogy. Others that carry it are pulling it from shelves, citing reasoning from pornographic content, to just being badly written.
