Just when you thought it was safe...

...to go back to a Harry Potter-free internet. Ha - not so fast. **Spoilers!** Here's J.K. Rowling clearing up some enduring mysteries even after the damnable epilogue at the end of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, from her Today show interview that I forgot to DVR this morning. And, she's thinking of writing a Potter Ecyclopedia. An interesting discussion of the book can be found *here*, and another one *here*. There's some wacky rumor circulating that Naomi Watts has been picked to play Narcissa Malfoy in the next HP movie. It's been announced, and then just as quickly denied. So, just remember kids - the books may be done, but there are still two more movies in the works, so that's enough to keep the fan-girls and boys up to their eyeballs in everything Potter for the next couple of years. And JKR raking in the dough in perpetuity. But you know what - she killed off one of my two favorite Weasleys, and left the other one with only one ear and no freaking mention in the damnable epilogue. All the while leaving the infuriating Ron, irritating Ginny, mostly useless Percy and completely pointless Charlie very much alive and well. For that she will never be forgiven. Never!!

...We now return to your regularly scheduled non-Potter post topics. Enjoy!

Movie news: Indiana Jones...uh, what is this, IV? Yeah. Well - only one thing can cancel out the giant gaseous ball of suck that is Shia LaBeouf (and I can't believe I spelled his name correctly on the first try) in the absence of Sir Sean and make this thing work. And to be filed under "wtf", in confounding casting news: how does a smarmy post-rehab Robbie Williams as Capt. James. T.(iberious) Kirk. sound to you? Yeah, me too...

If there'd be singing, though, he's your man, I guess (WARNING for my readers of the underage, overly sensitive and/or Mormon persuasions: there are mild-to-racy reinactments of sexy time in the video below. Avert your eyes, children!):



This leads us to...

Music news: People of the world - spice up your racks!


Good lord! Look at Victoria Beckham! Those things affect the tides, I swear! Why does "Posh" always look constipated? I didn't think robots had to worry about the regularity of their bowels...or even worried about having bowels at all, really. Geri resembles an erstwhile reincarnation of Strawberry Shortcake, and apparently didn't get the memo about the color theme. It's like high school, all over again, isn't it, Ginger? The two Melanies look decent...ish, and Emma, the Spice Girl formerly known as "Baby", is by far still my favorite. I mean...if I had to pick a favorite. At gun point, under threat of bodily harm. Read more about the reunion that nobody asked for but we get to suffer through anyway!
