As the face of one of the most famous and financially successful film franchises in history, Daniel Radcliffe has had to find a way to handle his massive fame. The man who plays Harry Potter reportedly dealt with it by drinking for a while, but battled back that demon that and is now learning to savor the fleeting nature of fame. All in all, though, he thinks Robert Pattinson has had it a lot harder with the "Twilight" franchise.

When she's not dressing like a mermaid, exploring her farm fetish, making out with herself or giving a shout out to Nebraska, Lady Gaga apparently has time to perform at the MTV Video Music Awards. One day after Gaga released the cyber-rural music video opus "You and I," MTV made the announcement that Gaga would be appearing at the VMA's August 28th, and released a series of appropriately racy promo videos to accompany the announcement. Watch the promo videos here.

Earlier this year the Florida Family Association, a conservative "moral watchdog" group with ties to the notoriously homophobic organization Focus On the Family, set its sights on ABC Family's popular show, Pretty Little Liars. The FFA asserts that the show's portrayal of main character Emily Fields, who came out as queer in Season 1, is sending a message that "reinforces and legitimizes [the] homosexual lifestyle." General Mills, I know what you did with your advertising money this summer, and I think it's total bulls^&t.

For a second, I thought this was a re-run: "Cornered" opens with a shot that's almost identical to the beginning of "Bullet Holes": a condensated breath of air in a refrigerated truck. But this time when the cartel attacks, they're much cleaner and more precise...in fact, their plan to pipe the truck's own exhaust back into the compartment seems like something Gus or Mike might do.

Kim Kardashian's much hyped wedding to NBA player Kris Humphries was last night. The lucky bride and groom hosted a massive affair for a huge group, and managed to end up making millions from the whole affair. E! just posted exclusive footage of the event, which takes us "from the bride walking down the aisle on stepdad Bruce Jenner's arm to Kim and Kris Humphries holding hands and gazing into each other's eyes at the altar." Watch the footage here.

Are you a fan of "Pretty Little Liars"? The show and our recaps of it are some of the most popular content on Yidio, but according to the Florida Family Association, the content in the show is offensive. The group is leading a boycott of businesses who advertise on the show, and apparently it's starting to work. General Mills and Remax have both reportedly left as advertisers of the show recently.

Last week, we saw the breakup that had been building for a while finally happen, as Jessica dumped Hoyt first in her dreams, and then in real life. Major bummer for the sometimes-cute sometimes-obnoxiously dysfunctional "True Blood" couple, but even more of a bummer in how Hoyt reacted. The preview videos for this week's episode of "True Blood," entitled "Let's Get Out of Here," show us the fallout from said break-up.
