It’s been a long awards season talking about animal performances and the variations therein — from Uggie’s full-blooded canine craftsmanship in The Artist to Andy Serkis’s arguably Oscar-worthy performance-capture efforts as Caesar in Rise of the Planet of the Apes . And then there’s Joey, the eponymous equine stud of War Horse , played by roughly a dozen or more different horses over the course of Steven Spielberg’s epic. But there’s something strange about the one recently revealed in some War Horse test footage. You have to go to watch the (currently unembeddable) video over at Facebook . I’ll offer little more beyond my recommendation, except to add that Uggie never would have gone for this. [ Chris Clarke via AICN ]

More words of wisdom from Emperor Paul, the Cult leader from the planet Ronulin. And a message to the Lemmings who blindly follow him…try to prove he didn’t say this. This little speech Paul made on the house floor and he claimed that Israel created Hamas The founders of Hamas may be surprised that they were created by Israel (so would the leaders of Israel).

Aliens! We’ve found aliens! A new planet detected orbiting a star 600 light years away could have continents, oceans and life, it was revealed today. The planet, Kepler-22b, is about twice the size of Earth and may have a surface temperature of around 22C – similar to a warm spring day in the UK. It is the first so-called “super-Earth” known to lie within the “habitable” zone of a Sun-like star. Dubbed the “Goldilocks zone”, this is the orbital band where temperatures are just right to allow the existence of surface liquid water. This means the planet could have continents and oceans just like the Earth. And where there is liquid water, there could also be life. Scientists believe Kepler-22b may not only be habitable, but possibly even inhabited. “This discovery supports the growing belief that we live in a universe crowded with life,” said Dr Alan Boss, from the Carnegie Institution in Washington DC, who helped identify the planet from data obtained by the Kepler space telescope. So there may already be another planet with life on it?! Time to get your tin hats and ray guns ready? Probably not, since they’re hundreds of light years away. It’ll probably be a loooong time before we get any more contact with the planet. But in the meantime, this is pretty freaky info. Source More On Bossip! Separated At Birth?

Edgar Rice Burroughs created the planet-hopping hero John Carter of Mars way back in 1912 in his serialized novels about a Southern gent transported to an alien world. So why does the new trailer for John Carter , directed by Pixar vet Andrew Stanton, feel so familiar? Shades of Avatar and Attack of the Clones distract from what should be nonstop ooh-ing and aah-ing over giant CG creature effects and Taylor Kitsch in a loincloth. Then again, Taylor Kitsch in a loincloth … thank you for that, Mr. Stanton.
Apparently, this broad’s checks haven’t stopped just yet. Even if no one wanted to watch her new reality show. Can you guess who just dropped major gwap on this fast car? To be fair: it’s not like Paris Hilton was broke before any of us gave a damn about her panty-less shenanigans. The hotel heiress, 30, treated herself to a brand new 2012 California Spyder Ferrari worth $300,000. The red sports car was delivered to her L.A. home just before noon Friday. “When Paris walked in all of our eyes were on her,” a source from the Ferrari dealership tells X17. “Ferrari is excited that she has purchased one of our cars. We know it’s going to bring worldwide exposure, and Paris is the perfect fit for our brand.” We bet. In addition to her new Ferrari, Hilton has a fleet of cars that includes two Bentleys, a Lexus LFA, a hybrid Escalade and a Range Rover. See, THIS is how the 1% lives. Source
Dead people are arguably less productive than you are, but a bunch of them earned between seven and nine figures for doing nothing this year, according to Forbes . Insulted? I understand. But you may be surprised by which screen stars are still banking well after they’ve left the big screen and the planet.
