Sep 15 2008 Eva Longoria Might Be This Wasp Character
On Friday, Eva Longoria Parker was photographed strutting out of Marvel Comics' Beverly Hills office with a business card and a handful of comic, including an issue of The Avengers. This, of course, led to some of the internet's leading speculatists to speculate she's up for the role of The Wasp in the Avengers movie planned for 2011. I'd say it's more likely she's just studying up for a talk show appearance where she'll insist she's "really a total geek, not the shallow, probably horrible person I seem to be," but I guess we'll find out in a few years.

Jul 15 2008 'The Spirit' Trailer Has Girls, Ridiculous Costumes, '80s Sex Romp Movie Poster Imagery, Girls
It looks like it's of questionable origins, so hurry up and watch this trailer to The Spirit before it's replaced by a take-down notice. My first thought was, "This is like if Frank Miller directed the intro to The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis." My next thought was, "Why was your first thought of a show that went off the air almost two decades before your were born?" I have no idea. Subliminal Nick at Nite?
Dec 21 2007 'Over Her Dead Body' Poster Seamlessly Blends 'Desperate Housewives' Promo with Serta Ad
Just because your ex-fiance has passed on, doesn't mean her upright head won't be pasted on the body of a mattress model to hover over you for eternity.
Extra points for daringly making the hand come in contact with the disembodied hair (just blur the knuckle, it'll be fine) and for giving Lake Bell what I assume are tarot cards. Even if I hadn't learned she's a psychic from the trailer, I'd definitely have gotten it now that I saw those nondescript slips of paper.

Dec 10 2007 'Over Her Dead Body' Trailer Gives Ghost Desperate Housewives Bad Rap
OK, I get that Eva Longoria is the vengeful ghost of an ex-fiance, desperately trying to stop psychic Lake Bell from getting with Paul Rudd. And I get that Ghost meets slapstick romantic-comedy might have been, in theory, a moderately entertaining concept. And I've learned that the only way a woman can be the protagonist in a romantic-comedy is if she shows a complete lack of motor skills, thereby making her charmingly clumsy. But none of this answers why are all of the gags are seemingly pulled from Wile E. Coyote cartoons.
Between Jason Biggs catching his arm on fire and dipping it in boiling water, Eva Longoria falling out of a window, and Lake Bell getting scorched by an enormous fireball, leaving only a comedic black soot on her face, (did the budget not allow for her becoming a pair of blinking eyeballs on a pile of charred ashes?) it's a wonder there aren't any anvils or sticks of dynamite.
At least it's nice to see Paul Rudd in a leading role, however inane it may be.
