Posted: 06 Mar 2011 08:00 PM PST

Disney Dream Portraits

A few days ago, we posted a sneak peek photo unveiled by Disney of actress Olivia Wilde being made up to look like the Evil Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves with the headline, What's Olivia Wilde Up To With Disney?.

We had a few guesses as to what Wilde was up to, one of which was the possibility of her being involved in a new series of Disney Dream Portraits by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz. Turns out, that's exactly what it was.

Disney Parks Blog has revealed the new photo series, which takes well-known celebrities and transforms them into the role of famous Disney characters, all with stunning background scenery. See all three images from the new series here [...]

‘Angry Birds’ Continues To Take Over The World; Facebook Version On The Way This Year

Posted: 06 Mar 2011 01:48 PM PST



Angry Birds is one of the most popular games/apps of all-time, nearing 100 million downloads so far. So it should come as no surprise that multiple plans are in motion for other platforms, spin-offs, and adaptations are well in the works.

The company behind Angry Birds, Rovio, has revealed that they have a new version of the title currently on the way for none other than Facebook. Rovio's Mikael Hed says the game will have new aspects to it that players haven't seen on other platforms, and that because of the "collaborative nature," the pigs will play a bigger part.

This comes after it had already been revealed that the ornithological projectiles were making their way to most game platforms including PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Along with all of this expansion, Angry Birds isn't stopping there. World domination is the ultimate goal, and that means possible movies and TV show adaptations as well. It's unclear if and when we'll really see the birds on the big screen, but it looks to be happening some day in the near future. [...]

Google Doodles and Doodler: Will Eisner

Posted: 06 Mar 2011 12:47 PM PST

Google Doodle Will Eisner

Today when you visit Google's homepage the usual Google logo has been replaced with a Will Eisner-inspired doodle to celebrate his birthday. Click on the logo and you'll find a treasure trove of information about the iconic comic book creator.

Eisner was born on March 6, 1917 and died back in 2005. He is perhaps best known for the character The Spirit, which did, for better or for worse, get the feature film treatment, but he also crafted such classic characters as John Law, Sheena: Queen of the Jungle, Black Hawk, Uncle Sam, and countless others.

Eisner is known as the father of the graphic novel and he was one of the founding creators of the actual comic book bringing the art form from Sunday newspapers into what we know as comic books today [...]

Must Watch: Animation Shows Fan’s Excitement For ‘The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’

Posted: 06 Mar 2011 11:18 AM PST



With almost 2 million hits on YouTube, many of you have possibly already seen and laughed at this, but for the rest of you fans of Bethesda Softwork's The Elder Scrolls video game series, this video is a must-see.

The video comes from popular YouTube user Harry Partridge, who created an animated short in celebration of the release of the first teaser trailer for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. In it, a character gets a little overly excited about the announcement -- something most die hard fans will have no problem associating with and understanding.

The cartoon is only a little over a minute in length, but it's hilarious and the song spoof on the Skyrim musical theme is catchy and will be stuck in your head for hours. All that's left to wonder is how excited this gentleman would get over the recent gameplay trailer that was released!

You can see the video by heading below. There is some adult themes involved so a minor NSFW warning is in order. [...]

‘KISS Kondoms’ Coming For Your Love Gun

Posted: 06 Mar 2011 09:46 AM PST

KISS

Time to put the "X in Sex" and explode with a "Sonic Boom" like the "God of Thunder" -- the band KISS is releasing new KISS Kondoms for fans to stay safe when they're taking their significant others for a "Rocket Ride."

Apologies for the song title puns used here, but c'mon... this is KISS and it's a story about Gene Simmons pimping out some condoms -- I just couldn't help myself.

The difference with this release of KISS Kondoms is that they have pictures on them, which is kind of odd when you think about where these things are going to end up when you're done using them [...]
