Well, Internet....we won't have Alec Baldwin to kick around anymore. Well, not on Twitter, anyway. Days after getting married, Baldwin wholly ditched the microblogging platform. His exit stage-right comes not long after rants against the New York Daily News and New York Post.

It will take a lot for "The Amazing Spider-Man" to stack up remotely close to those "other" two superhero movies making waves this summer. "Superman Returns" or even "Batman Begins" receptions won't do it. An opening matching what "Spider-Man 2" took in would be ideal. For now, Sony is hoping for something on par with another major feature that didn't resurrect a franchise, but launched a studio....

So far, so good: Naomi Watts certainly looks the part of the late Princess Diana of Wales that she's playing in the upcoming "Caught In Flight." The biopic centers upon Diana's post-divorce relationship with heart surgeon Dr. Hasnat Khan. The role was originally to go to Jessica Chastain, who was forced out by scheduling conflicts.

Pro-Tip: Carefully consider the validity of any story credited to "The Ass Press." A faux-news report announcing the coming of a sequel to "The Big Lebowski" made it further than it every reasonably should have - even a CBS outlet initially confirmed it. The Coen Brothers, of course, have never had any interest in following up on their 1998 comedy classic.

What's a great hero without an equal villain - one who hunts the paragon of virtue and poses every bit of a threat? "The Amazing Spider-Man" emerges into theaters Tuesday, and it finally does what Sam Raimi never got around to finishing: addressing the beginning of The Lizard. And this poster may hint that Dr. Curt Connors will make the beginning Spider-Man the prey.

WARNING! To anybody who's not watched the first two seasons of "The Walking Dead" in their entirety: the following contains some spoilers. If you're not caught up, consider clicking away and going to the Yidio show page for the AMC hit to play Catch-Up. On the other hand, if you WANT your first look at scenes from The Prison....

You may remember, a few years back at the MTV Video Music Awards, how Kanye West interrupted poor Taylor Swift, sparking a popular Internet meme as well as a pretty good episode of "South Park." Well, vengeance comes eventually, even if it might be a little late.

When "The Big Bang Theory" star Jim Parsons came out back in May, it didn't come as a huge surprise. In fact, Parsons' approach to the whole thing was to toss the announcement aside, presumably because his sexuality is his own business, and we (or Hollywood, anyway) should be at a point where a celebrity's sexuality isn't that big a deal.

Another down week for "Falling Skies" it seems, as we seem to be pretty heavy on the sentiment lately and short on action. There was a bit to get excited about this week, but a lot of it was bogged down in emotion based, once again, on characters that we don't even care about, or barely even know.

Things are starting to take a turn into crazytown on "True Blood," but thankfully we still have a few good scenes each episode with the characters we actually care about to keep things going. Here's a run-down of the events in Bon Temps during "We'll Meet Again."
