Good news/bad news time. Well, actually it's GREAT news/no news.

First the good: Louie CK is going to prime time. HBO officially picked up his sitcom for 12 episodes plus the pilot. So next fall Louie will be swearing on TV on a weekly basis. Hells fucking yeah.

In other news, Arrested Development won USA Today's Save Our Shows! contest by a mile, but we won't know for another two weeks if it's getting picked up for the fall. In the meantime, go to Get Arrested and pledge your support. For complete coverage of the show, check out The OP.

Three new Death From Above 1979 albums on the way??? Sorta.

Interesting article about love potions...well, at least the possibility that certain chemicals play a role in sexual attraction. The most interesting conclusion I could draw from this article is that, chemically speaking, there is nothing sexier than a sweaty guy walking in on a girl peeing. Just read the fucking article.

Dave Chappelle checked into a rehab facility in Africa, thus officially becoming a caricature of himself.

From Ananova, story about Australian prisoners who took a guard hostage:

"Initially they made 24 demands to authorities, but eventually gave up their hostage after agreeing to 15 pizzas, Coke and garlic bread instead."

An interesting and somewhat amusing trailer for a movie I will surely never see.
