Buzz Break: Aussie Rules

IMG_1481-copy.JPG· Congratulations to Xavier Samuel, the unknown Australian actor who reps the first piece of casting in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (he’ll be playing new vampire Riley). I have actually seen something he was in: a ridiculously homoerotic Australian surf film called Newcastle, where Samuel is gay and naked. Add it to your Netflix, Stephenie Meyer!

· Pixar head John Lasseter attempted a proof-of-concept demo of Where the Wild Things Are back in 1983, using vector maps. The results were pretty damn astonishing.

· Somehow, Kathy Griffin was an extra during the infamous Michael Jackson Pepsi commercial that ended in disaster.

· Upon reading the Us headline “Raven-Symone’s Disney Costar Calls Her a ‘Heifer,’” one might instinctively think, “Shame on you, Anneliese van der Pol!” But no, it was Debbie Allen. Yikes.

· Red alert! The Chenbot is sentient!

Shame on you, Debbie Allen. Raven-Symone is much more akin to a sow than a heifer.
