A funny thing happened recently over at The Big Bang Theory. At the start of this season, CBS was so confident in the sitcom that they moved it to Thursday nights, putting it in direct competition with NBC’s Thursday night comedy line-up. They also upped the ante by shelling out $200,000 per episode to the show’s stars (Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, and break-out Jim Parsons). That’s not the funny part.

Then, Cuoco, who plays the show’s female lead, broke her leg. As a result, the writers had a scramble to write a stretch of episodes in which Cuoco’s character, Penny the hot next-door neighbor, was absent or limited to one scene. That’s – obviously – still not the funny part.

“You don’t have to look like me to be considered beautiful and sexy.”
– Brittany Daniel

When the aliens come, the only ones left to fight back will be the good looking Hollywood heroes. Independence Day gave us Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman and Vivica A. Fox. Signs left us in the hands (and basement) of Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix. Now Skyline has strapping male leads Eric Balfour (who plays Jarrod) and Donald Faison (Terry), to keep their girlfriends safe and fight off invaders. Brittany Daniel plays Candice, described as Terry’s self-absorbed socialite girlfriend.

Sanrio, which is most famous for its super cute Hello Kitty character, is celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year. To mark the occasion, the Japanese novelty company has been touring a special exhibition entitled Small Gift, which stopped off in Los Angeles this past week.

The event is of particular interest to SucideGirls’ community of Hello Kitty aficionados, since it features an original piece of art – especially commissioned for the event – from one of our own, Mrs Misha (see picture).

There are many opportunities to have an extraordinary experience that can transcend your expectations of a traditional event. Case in point, my adventures at an Erasure show – featuring UK crooner Andy Bell and synth-pop legend Vincent Clarke (very formerly of Depeche Mode, Yazoo, and The Assembly) – during their Phantasmagorical Entertainment tour of 1992.

When it was announced that a residency of ten nights would descend upon the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles, my extreme state of fandom naturally predetermined that I would attend a minimum of five nights. This was not an option (in my mind) as per usual with the bands I’m into, it was a mandate that would lead me to an experience that I would still be talking about a mere 18 years later…

“If you met yourself in person, would you see only faults?”
-Duncan Jones

If the new film Moon puts you in mind of David Bowie’s lyrical, space-is-a-lonely-place ballad, “Space Oddity,” that’s probably not a total coincidence – it was directed by his 38 year-old son, Duncan Jones, who formerly went under the much less conservative name, Zowie Bowie. After years of directing commercials and trying to move on from what he describes as a youth marked by isolation and periods of self-discovery, Jones has emerged with a new identity as a respected indie filmmaker.
