The Philippine government is seeking an apology from the producers of the TV series "Desperate Housewives" for a racial slur made against Filipino medics said by Teri Hatcher's character, Susan Mayer, on a recent episode. 
Teri Hatcher's character asked whether the person attending to her during a medical consultation "can I check those diplomas because I want to make sure that they're not from some med school in the Philippines."

Luciano Pavarotti Dies at 71

Luciano PavarottiAs all of you have probably already heard, Luciano Pavarotti died after a yearlong battle with pancreatic cancer.  He was 71.  (TIME article)

I thought I would post a video clip in honor of Pavarotti.  In this video he is singing, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful songs ever to be written.  Pavarotti singing Schubert's Ave Maria.

Drew Carey replacing Bob Barker on 'Price is Right'

Comedian Drew Carey will be replacing Bob Barker on The Price is Right.

"I realize what a big responsibility this is," he said. "It's only a game show, but it's the longest-running game show in American television and I plan to keep it that way."

He will also be host of a new CBS prime-time game show, "The Power of 10," that will air first next month. He told The Associated Press on Monday that CBS officials first contacted him about "The Price is Right" immediately after he completed a pilot of the other game show this spring.

"My agent called me and said `I was talking to CBS casting today' and in my head I was thinking, `Oh, `CSI' guest star?' And he said what would you think about replacing Bob Barker on `The Price is Right?'"

Chuck Norris Action Jeans

Chuck Norris Action JeansI've been looking for a pair of western-style, action packed jeans that won't rip when I defeat ninjas with my killer fan kicks.  Chuck Norris, you are my hero.

Developed by Chuck Norris for stunt fighting in action movies.  These great looking western style jeans have a unique hidden gusset which allows greater movement without binding or ripping.

The Cube starring Robert Schaal and directed by Jim HensonHere is an interesting and mind-screwing film called "The Cube" directed and produced by Jim Henson prior to his focus on the Muppets.  The film stars Robert Schaal as "The man in the cube". 

From the Google video description:
This philosophical teleplay covers many themes such as, the nature of reality, individual versus scientific perception, self-reference, man's relation to others and society, insanity, social projections, and race relations. It originally aired on NBC's weekly anthology television show NBC Experiment in Television February 23, 1969. The production was produced and directed by Jim Henson, and was one of several experiments with the live-action film medium which he conducted in the 1960s, before focusing entirely on the Muppets and other puppet works. The screenplay was co-written by long-time Muppet writer Jerry Juhl (who also appears in a cameo).

"The Office" Miis

Dwight MiiOver at Life in the Office, a fansite for the popular TV show "The Office", a contest was held to see who could make the best Miis that resembled the characters on the show the most.  [via The Archer Bus]

I was unimpressed with the Miis I saw on Life in the Office when I saw what these guys did in one Saturday afternoon.  The titles of "The Office's #1 Fan" and "The Office Fan Club President" should definitely go to these guys.
