There's a new professional wrestling league in town, and they're calling themselves the MCW, or "Micro Championship Wrestling." Why "Micro"? Simple: every wrestler in the MCW is a little person.

The organization's goal is to "show the world that little people are serious athletes who have the determination to succeed."

TruTV has put in a six-episode order of a new show centerin

Episode 'How I Met Your Mother' Season 6, Episode 20 - 'The Exploding Meatball Sub' Recap
April 12, 2011 @ 7:06 am PST    How I Met Your Mother     Andy Neuenschwander    

After two emotionally-charged episodes focusing on Barney and his relationships, "How I Met Your Mother" took some time to focus on Ted and Marshall this week.

Ted and Zoey, who take the "you hang up" thing to a whole new level, are challenging each other both professionally and in their relationship. This brings on the main lesson of the episode: some couple support each other (like Lily and Marshall) while others challenge each other.

'Cloverfield' Director Looks to Short Story that Inspired 'They Live' for Next Film
April 12, 2011 @ 5:00 am PST    They Live, Cloverfield, Let Me In     Scott Nye    

It's sort of a testament to director John Carpenter's ability to channel effective concepts into cinematic legacies that his films keep being remade. Of the ten theatrical movies he made from 1976 to 1988, six have either been remade, or have remakes at some stage of production.

If the films themselves aren't effectively living on - the original "The Fog" doesn't get a lot of play these days - the imagery, titles, and concepts certainly still pack a punch.

Mountain climbers cling from a craggly precipice. Parkour jumpers leap and boomerang off buildings and walls. Bullriders get launched from sharp horned longhorns eager to rip them limb from limb. 3D television isn’t required to be so in your face, but damn does it ever help.

You know that show "Storage Wars" on A&E, the one where people bid on the unknown contents of storage lockers? Well, a Los Angeles man hit the million dollar jackpot--literally--when he bought an abandoned unit and found a comic book valued at over $1 million inside.

There's only one problem...the comic was stolen, and it belongs to none other than Nicolas Cage.

Yes, the "National Treasure" star has some treasures of his own, as the actor is a huge comic book fan and is known for having a great collection.

Oh darling ‘Glee,’ we love you for proving that, regardless of talent, anyone who can physically move air along their vocal chords should be break into daily song and dance.

Take for example, Gwyneth Paltrow’s performances. Her numbers have been reviewed by critics as being entertaining and lacking at the same time. But isn’t the “it could be me, singing in the shower vibe” the very thing that Gleeks dig?

Salon’s Drew Grant does his best to tolerate Paltrow's new pursuits and likens her to a “PG-rated funhouse mirr
