Ahhh…Mythbusters.  The fabulous show on the Discovery Channel mixes geeky and nerdy together with a splash of Kari Byron.  Here’s 10 pictures of the lovely Kari.  That should hold you for awhile.

Turns out that Jesse James was banging this chick while his wife, Sandra Bullock, was off making her Academy Award winning movie.

ESPN sports babe Erin Andrews—a former University of Florida dance team member—is competing in the latest Dancing with the Stars, against some serious competition including Chad Ochocinco, Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Sherzinger and the legendary Pam Anderson. On DWTS, wardrobe is almost as important as dancing skill. Here are some options Erin tried out that didn’t make the cut.

It would seem that movie actor Seann William Scott does not or cannot drive [via]

That is one of our favorite lines in any movie. More specifically it’s mentioned by the usually serious actor Peter Graves in the 1980 movie “Airplane.”

That crazy movie is full of great quotes ranging from Leslie Nelson’s “Don’t call me Shirley” to the jive talk of June Cleaver.

Sadly, the captain of that crazy Airplane, Peter Graves, has passed away.  The stoic actor and voice-over talent was known for his many roles on television including the original “Mission: Impossible” and the more modern A&E series “Biography.”

Peter Graves, the cool spymaster of television’s “Mission: Impossible” and the dignified host of the “Biography” series, who successfully spoofed his own gravitas in the “Airplane!” movie farces, died on Sunday. He was 83.

He died of a heart attack at his home in Pacific Palisades, Calif., said Fred Barman, his business manager.

It was a testament to Mr. Graves’s earnest, unhammy ability to make fun of himself that after decades of playing square he-men and straitlaced authority figures, he was perhaps best known to younger audiences for a deadpan line in “Airplane!” (“Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?”) and one from a memorable Geico car insurance commercial (“I was one lucky woman”).  (…continue reading…)

Sad news from Hollywood this morning as 80’s teen idol Corey Haim was reported dead of an overdose of drugs by the LAPD. The actor has had trouble with drugs in the past but this is the headline we expected in the early 90’s and not when the guy was closing in on the age of 40.

Corey Haim shot to fame in the 80s when he co-starred in a number of films, including “The Lost Boys,” with the other Corey, Corey Feldman.

The actor, who has struggled with drug addiction, was pronounced dead at Providence St. Joseph’s Medical Center in Burbank.

Police were called to the hospital just before 4 a.m. to investigate his death.

Police sources told CBS Haim’s death appeared accidental. Haim has been in and out of rehab and starred in a reality show with Feldman in 2007 called “The Two Coreys.”

He talked about his struggle with drugs – specificially prescription drugs.

“I started on the downers which were a hell of a lot better than the uppers because I was a nervous wreck. But one led to two, two led to four, four led to eight, until at the end it was about 85 a day – the doctors could not believe I was taking that much,” he told a reporter in 2007.

Christoph Waltz walked home Sunday night with an Oscar for his fantastic performance as the Jew Hunter from “Inglourious Basterds.” Here’s one of our favorite scenes from the movie as Col. Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz) explains how he finds hiding Jews.

Kevin Costner won multiple Academy Awards for his movie “Dances with Wolves” but was snubbed for the epic “Waterworld.”  The Oscars are so unfair….

Tiger Woods gave a heartfelt apology about his boinking everything under the sun. Here’s a video of Tiger’s press conference cut up more appropriately for the Internet masses, with special guest stars Eliot Spitzer, Kobe Bryant, David Letterman and more. {NSFW}
