Amber Miller, 27 years old, completed the Chicago Marathon this Sunday at a relatively slow time of 6:25:50. That isn’t a terribly remarkable feat, especially given that she ran the Wisconsin Marathon in May and logged in a time of 4:23:07. Was she disappointed? Not at all.

It’s no secret that The Playboy Club was a gamble to begin with. Since it was announced that NBC would take on the gentlemen’s club story, the project was met with opposition. Was it too much of an undertaking for NBC to throw their hat not only into the “period drama” ring, but also the “adult content “ ring so to speak?
You know what Hollywood thinks happens at weddings? Well, if it’s a small indie film, mostly some drunk and/or high relative will appear to rain Rehab-escaping havoc on just everyone. ::Red Band Trailer:: Yeah, that means cursing and stuff. Continue reading
Twitter lit up overnight with the news that the Japan National Tourism Ministry was considering a plan to give away free round-trip airfare to 10,000 foreigners (preferably bloggers) who can spread the myth back home that Japan is (still) a safety country.
