It won't hit theaters until a projected nearly two years from now, but filming is definitely underway in England on the "Sleeping Beauty" prequel "Maleficent." And from the looks, Angelina Jolie is being put through a few paces in the titular role. We're not just talking about those damned horns, either.

"The Avengers" is poised to meet James Cameron. Sometime on Tuesday, the Marvel blockbuster is virtually guaranteed to eclipse $600 million in domestic gross. That puts it in the company of only "Avatar" and "Titanic" - Cameron's two respective Oscar-winning epics that rank first- and second-place on the all-time total gross list.

The last teaser trailer we saw for "Breaking Bad" season 5 was frustratingly brief, with just a single tense line of dialogue between Walt and Saul. The newest teaser is a bit longer, but still is only just enough to make us want more.

Some days, I wake up merely HOPING that the Comedy Gods will bless me as they have this day. On this day, my faith has been duly rewarded. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are being sued for their alleged Al-Qaeda membership....by the reigning "World's Most Litigious Man."

It's not the CM Punk-Chris Brown melee that I was still hoping would materialize, but this may do. Two people with money and resources to spare want Drake and Chris Brown to step into a boxing ring to settle some standing differences. Celebrity Boxing promoter Damon Feldman is throwing around a $1-million incentive for a bout to take place in August.

With this rumor out there and gaining steam, someone has to acknowledge this sometime. A recent Sigourney Weaver interview piece claims that the "Alien" icon will soon be filming back-to-back-to-back "Avatar" sequels. Director James Cameron has previously seemingly confirmed this, claiming he's spent the last year and a half fine-tuning the first film's software.

This thursday, June 28, marks the season three premiere of "Louie," one of the best shows on FX and arguably the best comedy on television. We could celebrate the big premiere any number of ways: watching some of Louis CK's stand-up, pondering the futility of existence or the absurdity of life... you know, the usual.
But we could also read a bunch of tweets from Louis CK insulting his Twitter followers in horrible fashion.

Oh, what a tangled web we weave....when ABC baits and switches to deceive. If you tuned in this week expecting fireworks, be happy if you end up holding a sparkler. The Arie Situation didn't prove one millionth as explosive as built up, but this week did reveal the final four moving on to next week's hometown dates.

Is Aaron Sorkin, creator of "The Newsroom," stealing material... from himself?
An eagle-eyed (or eared) fan has picked up on the fact that Mr. Sorkin, who is regarded as one of the best writers out there (and has the Oscar to prove it), plagiarizes himself from time to time. You could call it "recycling dialogue" if you wanted, but the fact remains that there are Sorkinisms that repeat across different shows.

Maybe the whole "Celebrity Hero" thing is going a bit too far. When Kate Winslet helped carry Richard Branson's elderly mother out of a burning building, that was pretty heroic. When Ryan Gosling pulled a journalist out of the street to avoid getting hit by a car, that was a little less heroic. When Patrick Dempsey saved a kid from a crashed car with a crowbar, that was somewhere in between the two (but P Demps gets bonus points for witty one-liners).
