Its science fiction time, friends!

A small lab in California claims to have cloned the embryos of two men, making it the “first documented demonstration that ordinary cells from an adult human can be used to make cloned embryos mature enough to produce stem cells”.

Although the lab says it destroyed the embryos after 5 days, they insist they have all their records and assure the public that the tests were performed numerous times. Experts have supposedly acted very “coolly” to this announcement, partly because of a clone hoax executed by Korean scientist Hwang Woo-suk a few years back, and partly because the creation of cloned embryos has happened before. The big announcement, researchers agree, would be if a new stem cell line has been created. Read More »

This is exciting news!

The perpetual pretty boy Zac Efron is set to star in a movie that holds some promise outside the Disney-fied cushion of hormonal tweens!

A new film called 17 is set to begin production soon and has cast Efron as a 17 year old boy who has reverted from a grown man.

Hey, it’s not like it’s never been done before but, whatever. I’m just excited that it’s not another crappy musical.

Am I coming off as an excitable Efron fan? Well, sorry to say…I am not.

But that’s why I can honestly say I am pulling for the guy because for once he’s been giving a role that goes beyond puppy love and a boyish face.

Aww…he’s growing up!

And I haven’t even mentioned the best part!

Some used-to-be Hollywood publicist is playing havoc with my mind.

First, he infiltrates my deepest fears by claiming Jake Gyllenhaal is gay, then he goes on to say the love of my life is expecting a baby with his boyfriend in a month!

Apparently, Jakey has been dating the same guy for years (although no one’s clear on who the mystery boyfriend is) and is preparing to come out “some time by the end of next month” so he can celebrate his new bundle of joy with a clear conscience. Read More »

Breaking up sucks, so you might as well get a good story out of it. None of this civil shit — I want tears in the eyes, blood on the walls, buttons off the shirts.

Unfortunately, most of my breakups have been rather tame. I keep my grudges to myself. Depending on the magnitude of the schism, I cope by going the patented Jennifer Aniston route (yoga, weed, Smart Water) or taking a ride on the pie highway to drown my sorrows. Either way, slander and slaughter are kept to a minimum; the only victim is me.

So, I don’t really understand crazy, dramatic breakups, but that doesn’t mean I can’t revel in them (read: laugh at) when they happen, especially in Brad-and-Jen Land. There are the sad ones, like Reese and Ryan and Jake and Kirsten which leave you a little deflated but ultimately make you feel better about yourself — because if they can’t make it work, who can?

Hot, single men in Hollywood — I just can’t seem to get enough. Lucky for me, another list of sexy single celebs has surfaced. Last week it was AOLMusic preaching to the choir (come on, we already KNOW which musicians are sexy and available); this week it’s People magazine ranking the “Single & Sizzling Men of ‘07.” And the #1 guy is a real shocker (sarcasm) — Matthew McConaughey (sadly, I heard that he’s gay,but that’s a whole other issue).

Which Sexy Single is the best catch?
