the Man of Steel
With Man of Steel right around the corner, speculation is running high as to just how different—aside from the lack of red shorts—Zack Snyder’s Superman is going to be from what’s come before. How many surprises can there be for a character that’s been in the pop culture spotlight for three quarters of a century?

But one of the reasons the character’s been around so long is that there’s always something new to pull out of that blue sleeve. And even his past contains some things you may not know. Here are ten such little known facts from Superman’s vast history that may well surprise you (u...

10 Albums You Shouldn’t Miss From May 2013

June 11th, 2013 10:22pm EDT
Daft Punk
May 2013 was nothing short of a stellar month for music, and truly the first great music month of 2013. Without a doubt, the biggest news of the month was Daft Punk’s return to album crafting, with the masterful “Random Access Memories” but many other great records were released as well. Here are the ten most essential albums of the month:

“Obsidian” Baths

Will Wiesenfield’s first record under the Baths moniker was an eclectic, upbeat collection of electronic songs that was both spastic and innocent, but most importantly fun. The follow up, “Obsidian” is a far cry from that record thoug...

Who Are The Most Hated Celebrities In Showbiz?

June 11th, 2013 8:07pm EDT
The Kardashians
Despite having millions of fans around the world, countless Twitter followers and lots of talent (well, most of them), there are a handful of actors, actresses, singers, reality TV stars, etc., who people just love to hate.

Kim Kardashian's family built a empire on the base of a sex tape that leaked to the public, and now they're all household names. Millions watch the television show, but millions more can't stand them and resent the fact that Kim's sex tape with an R&B singer is what started it all.

One star is a huge diva, yet super-talented in all facets of showbiz. Another has quite ...

Hot And Not: 13 Stars Who Can Look Insanely Attractive Or Totally Ugly On Any Given Day

June 2nd, 2013 12:01pm EDT
JWoww, Anne Hathaway, Miley Cyrus and Cameron Diaz
Most Hollywood stars almost always look good in pictures. But there are a few exceptions. Some look much better from far away than they do up close -- where their imperfections stand out more. And then there are some who just don't look good at all in pictures, but look great on film or TV.

There are a few stars, though, who fit somewhere in between. One day an actress might be the hottest woman one has ever seen, while another photo of her, shot from a different angle, can make her look, well... not so much.

Instead of asking "Hot or Not," Here are 13 stars we think fit in the category o...

10 Songs That Should Never Be Played In Your Car With The Windows Down

May 25th, 2013 12:06pm EDT
Bow Wow
Spring is finally in full swing, and that means that it’s prime season for driving around with the windows in your car down, blasting whatever music you enjoy playing loudly and annoying others with. There are a few songs that you should avoid playing while the windows are down at all costs, however:

10. “Bow Wow” Lil Bow Wow

Apparently, Lil’ Bow Wow is just Bow Wow now. Well, hopefully when he lost the Lil’ moniker, he also lost this song with it. Easily one of the worst rap songs ever, even considering the fact that it was sung by a child, this song should not be played by anyone anyw...

10 Shows Netflix Should Revive

May 23rd, 2013 2:30pm EDT
Netflix
Netflix revived the Bluth family, so we thought we'd share a list of 10 other shows worth reviving.

1. Terriers

FX's barely watched drama about two private investigators was at times gut-wrenching, heart-warming, nostalgic, regretful, beautiful, poignant sad, moving. Terriers told the story of Hank and Britt, an ex-cop and a soon-to-be ex-thief. FX's president John Landgraf couldn't justify a renewal due to the pitiful season 1 numbers. The series hasn't enjoyed post-series success because the DVDs haven't been released. The series finale is essentially perfect for the series, but I'd lov...

5 Shows That Aren't As Popular As They Could Be Because Of Their Names

A title can make or break a TV show. When scrolling through the interactive guide, a TV viewer may stop at a show they've never seen because the title seems interesting. Likewise, a viewer may skip right over a show they would have loved, because the title doesn't hit their target market. Here's a list of five shows that are missing out on viewers because of their name.

Quick side tangent: let's hope this theory doesn't also apply to blog posts as well, because let's face it the title of this post is a little long winded.

"Cougar Town" - This is an obvious choice, and the show has accepte...

10 Celebs We'd Love As Prom Dates

May 11th, 2013 9:00am EDT
Mila Kunis
Prom season is finally upon us, and while high schools kids are busy planning the perfect prom night, we’re busy fantasizing over the celebrities we would love to be our prom dates.

Mila Kunis: Mila Kunis was recently named FHM Magazine’s ‘Sexiest Woman in the World,’ and with a title like that, it’d be foolish not to include her on this list. In addition to her beauty, Mila is incredibly funny, as proven by her comedic roles in “Family Guy,” “Friends with Benefits” and “Ted.” Who wouldn’t want to spend their prom night with a gal who’s funny and sexy?

Jennifer Lawrence: Though the ph...

National Teacher Day: Our Favorite Onscreen Teachers

May 7th, 2013 8:00am EDT
School of Rock
 

May 7, 2013 marks National Teacher Day, and to honor those who have educated and inspired us, we’ve compiled a list of our favorite onscreen teachers.

Dewey Finn (Jack Black), “School of Rock” (2003)

Dewey Finn may have been a rowdy, unemployed wannabe rock star, but after scheming his way into the classroom he became a new kind of role model. Dewey taught his students the true meaning of rock ‘n’ roll and encouraged them to rock out in every aspect of their lives.

Memorable Quote: “I have been touched by your kids... and I'm pretty sure that I've touched them.”
