A Farewell To Batboy

Weekly World News has been abruptly cancelled. The paper, "the best investigative reporting on the planet," according to J in Men in Black, and spawned Batboy. The website is going away, too. Now it shall nevermore tell us Bush is running for pope as we wait for the dude in front of us at the grocery lane to decide between paper and plastic.

I guess it's just you and me, Soap Opera Digest.

Bad Lighting

Moonlight is a vampire detective show coming on CBS in fall 2007. David Greenwalt, the producer of Angel wanted to sue about it. Especially after he found out the show's original title was Not Angel.

But now he's the producer of Moonlight and he says it's different. There are no other demons besides vampires on this show. See? Completely not the exact same at all.
