Comedian Greg Giraldo Dead At The Age Of 44

Posted: 29 Sep 2010 05:42 PM PDT



It's been a rough time in the world of stand-up comedy lately. First came the news that Robert Schimmel had passed away due to injuries from a car accident, and now it's being reported that Greg Giraldo has died after an overdose on prescription medications. He was 44 years old.

The overdose occurred last weekend, and the comedian was discovered by a friend before being brought to a hospital in New Jersey where he was listed in critical but stable condition. Sources also stated that the overdose was not any form of suicide attempt.

Giraldo has been around for a while now, making many appearances in comedy specials, TV shows, and movies. He's best known for his work on the many Comedy Central roasts, where he was one of the staples who was always there to unleash a barrage of insults, harsh as the ears can take and stomach burning hilarious. He took part in the Roast of David Hasselhoff just a month or so ago. He was also just recently one of the three judges of this past season of Last Comic Standing, where a lot of people who might not have known him were able to get better acquainted. [...]

‘Monkey Island’ Hero Guybrush Threepwood Unlockable In ‘Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2′

Posted: 29 Sep 2010 12:36 PM PDT



What's more exciting than playing the highly anticipated follow-up to LucasArts' popular video game title, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed? Playing the game using another LucasArts character from a completely different world: Guybrush Threepwood.

Guybrush will apparently be available in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II as an unlockable and fully playable character, and there's pictures to prove it! The amusing announcement was made on the game's official Facebook page, though it is still unclear whether or not once you do figure out how to unlock the often goofy Guybrush, if you'll be able to play through the entire campaign with him.

Be sure to dust off your Monkey Kombat skills, and click on over to the other side to check out two images featuring Guybrush Threepwood in full Jedi gear.

Threepwood comes from the beloved Monkey Island series of games, a fun and often hilarious collection of point-and-click adventures involving pirates, grog, and of course, monkeys. The series was created by Ron Gilbert, Tim Schafer, and Dave Grossman. [...]

Discovery Channel’s ‘Deadliest Catch’ Loses Three More Captains

Posted: 29 Sep 2010 10:51 AM PDT



Things have not gone so smoothly for the hit Discovery Channel reality show, Deadliest Catch, as of late. Most people are aware of the terrible loss of Captain Phil Harris, but after the emotional episodes that documented that loss, the emotions seemed to turn from sadness to anger rather quickly. A heated dispute and lawsuit threat has now led to the departure of three more captains from the show.

For those of you who are unaware of the situation, allow us to first fill you in. It all started not too long ago when it was reported that the network was planning to sue cast members and brothers Andy Hillstrand and Johnathan Hillstrand, Co-Captains of the Time Bandit, who were doing work on a planned spinoff series called Hillstranded. According to Discovery, the brothers failed to complete work on the spinoff, forcing them to sue for $3 million. The Hillstrand brothers' lawyer, Jeff Cohen, claimed that this was an act of extortion on his clients, and that they would have to sell their boats and fire their crews if the lawsuit was presented.

‘Mission: Impossible 4′ Adds ‘LOST’ Bad Boy Josh Holloway To Cast

Posted: 29 Sep 2010 08:18 AM PDT



Alumni of the adventure that was LOST have had no trouble getting back to work after the beloved series ended this past May.

Daniel Dae Kim took the easiest route by simply staying in Hawaii and joining the cast of CBS's Hawaii Five-O, but a couple of others have now joined film projects. We found out yesterday that Maggie Grace would be jumping into The Twilight Saga (Read: 'LOST' Star Maggie Grace Joins The Cast Of 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn'), and now fan-favorite Josh Holloway has been cast in another high-profile sequel.

According to reports, Holloway, who became a star as the always stubborn Sawyer on the Lost island, is in final negotiations to join the cast of Mission: Impossible IV. Not much is known about the story of this fourth installment yet, but Holloway would be playing an operative in the secret Impossible Mission Force that's headed up by star Tom Cruise. [...]
