Last week's episode of NBC's new crime thriller, Hannibal, was the second of the season and definitely followed what the premiere laid out for the viewers. Will (Hugh Dancy) continues to see Lecter for therapy because he does not know how to deal with killing the serial killer from episode one (Garrett Jacob Hobbs). Of course, since it is Will Graham we are talking about, everything is a little heightened and very different than most people. That is exactly why Hannibal continues to help him in episode two, "Amuse-Bouche." But where does last week's episode lead us for tonight's "Potage," the third of the season? Read More »

Though this is a great story in itself, the hearing produced two great viral videos for the Internet. Parliament member Maurice Williamson gave what Gawker called "a speech for the ages" in defense of the marriage equality bill. Also, after the bill was passed, the spectators that day broke into a love song for the bill's sponsor, Louisa Wall (who happens to be a lesbian). Read More »

Lord Mayor of London, Alderman Roger Gifford, nearly pierced Her Majesty the Queen of England during yesterday's funeral for former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Though reports are saying that Elizabeth II "dodged" the ceremonial sword as Gifford swung it around, she was mainly just startled at how close it came to her. The Queen, who turns 87 this weekend, turned to her husband Prince Philip in shock of the close call, to which the Duke of Edinburgh grinned back in response. Read More »

Yesterday, the United Kingdom lay to rest its former Prime Minister, the "Iron Lady" Margaret Thatcher. While the funeral itself was big news, the service introduced the world to Margaret's 19-year-old, American granddaughter, Amanda Thatcher. The University of Richmond freshman inadvertently turned heads and even started a frenzy on Twitter during her praise-worthy speech at her grandmother's funeral. People are comparing this to how Pippa Middleton turned heads at the Royal Wedding two years ago. Amanda's classmates in high school voted her "Most likely to change the world," and it looks like she has an early start. Read More »

This news would be all well and done, but Brooke is currently dating Josh McEachran who is a football player on Middlesbrough F.C. Read More »
It looks like yesterday's big rumor about a "Friend" comeback reunion season has turned out to be completely false. The hit NBC comedy's Co-Creator Marta Kauffman was recently asked by E! Online about the supposed reunion season in 2014. Kauffman laughed off the rumor saying that it is definitely not happening and that any sort of reunion is not going to occur either. So feel free to let keep hoping for some sort of Ross, Phoebe, Rachel, Monica, Joey and Chandler meet up, but it looks like that is not going to come to fruition. Read More »
Patton Oswalt has been all over the Internet this week. Though he is an exception comedian with a successful career, not a lot of people knew about him until he posted a poignant reaction posts on Twitter and Facebook about the Boston Marathon bombings on Monday. After that, he was featured in a viral Batman video as the Penguin, which was just funny and now he is set to guest star on NBC's hit show "Parks and Recreation." Not only does he guest star, he manages to out-nerd himself in a citizen's filibuster sequence. Read More »
Justin Bieber is known for staying connected with his fans, and often uses Twitter and other social media outlets to do so. Yesterday, the 19-year-old "Beauty and the Beat" singer posted a piece of artwork for his fans. That seems like a nice thing to do, right? Well, not exactly. The picture features the pop star snuggling in bed with a "Belieber." Also it is hard to say whether or not the two subjects of the cartoon are nude considering the singer is featured without a shirt. Read More »
