For those who missed the news dropped at Sunday night's WWE Hell In A Cell PPV, KFC's Colonel Sanders is getting added to WWE 2K18. Players will be able to access the Colonel through the game's Create A Superstar mode, and will hopefully then be able to cut promos about fried chicken.
It seems super random for a collaboration like this to happen, but those who have been following wrestling for the past year and a half are almost completely unsurprised by this news. Those who haven't been following wrestling...just watch this:
One would think wrestling fans would get furious at this bit of tomfoolery in their sports entertainment, but the ads seem to be universally loved by the WWE universe. It's probably due to the fact that even the youngest fan can tell you wrestling is fake, but also because it's about as good as KFC marketing gets.

Have you ever seen MacGyver the Argentine Red Tegu lizard? Even though he isn’t covered in fur, he has managed to work his way to Internet fame, up there with adorable all-stars like Norbert the Dog and Grumpy Cat.
At first sight, he may look like a freaky Slim Jim come to life, but thousands of animal lovers have become obsessed with MacGyver and his passion for clothes, being fed with chopsticks and getting belly rubs.
The reptile is so friendly that he is almost dog-like, accompanying his owner everywhere, often making new buddies along the way. Like the canines he is compared to,...

The Great British Bake Off might be over, but if you need a substitute to get you through the cold winter months you're in luck - from the same production company is The Great Pottery Throw Down, which kicks off on BBC Two next week.
The new show, hosted by Sara Cox, sees ten potters battling it out in front of judges Kate Malone and Keith Brymer Jones in an attempt to show their kiln skills. And it's tough from the very first episode, which features a challenge to make stackable kitchen bowls, a Spot Test asking the contestants to attach handles onto mugs and a Throw Down challenge getting them to make as many egg cups as they can in 20 minutes.
But who are the 10 hopeful clay-wielders hoping to impress?

Nick or Clark? Clark or Nick? Who will be crowned our 14th and penultimate "American Idol" winner? And why must it take 126 minutes to find out? When "American Idol" was a colossus straddling the TV landscape, this sort of bloated spectacle wasn't just justified, it was practically necessary for Fox. Milk every blessed second out of "American Idol"! But Tuesday night's performance finale lost to "Undateable" in the 18-49 demo. That's a bit sad. But maybe ratings will still perk up for the actual finale.

The WWE has announced the 2015 class of inductees into the WWE Hall of Fame. WWE Legends, Alundra Blayze, “Macho Man” Randy Savage, The Bushwhackers and Rikishi, as well as pop-culture icon Arnold Schwarzenegger will be immortalized for their accomplishments and contributions in sports entertainment. Who didn’t love “Macho Man?” He was the living embodiment of excessive costuming — Fringed jackets, giant wack-a-doo hats, neon, sunglasses that looked impossible to see out of — he was the very best and worst of his era’s fashion choices. And he was always snapping into a Slim Jim, which — even now — makes my mouth water just to type … Continue reading →

I’m thrilled that the world’s greatest ruse — conning your way into free movies — was covered by Abbi and Ilana in this episode. My great-aunt taught me how to picnic my way through a theater; the idea of getting caught used to scare me until she pointed out that movie theaters are run by feckless teenagers who do the same thing, and no one really cares. I don’t know if I’d see Fang for a Fang or trick my friends into touching my pubes at the bottom of a popcorn bucket, but I’d be down to sew some clear snack pockets into at least one jacket or eat a Slim Jim out of my cleavage.Bevers decides to get to the gym after Abbi discovers his “couch sore,” which tested my gag reflex in eight different ways, so kudos to you, makeup department!

When I first began watching professional wrestling, some 22 years ago in 1992, the one wrestler who made me sit up and take notice was “Macho Man” Randy Savage. My first wrestling event I ever saw features Savage and Ric Flair wrestling for the WWF Championship in Indiana at WrestleMania 8. Randy Savage has been a favourite of mine ever since, a remarkable performer, he truly had the “it” that promoters in wrestling look for year after year. A top-class wrestler who, in many ways, was ahead of his time, Savage was also truly original on the microphone with his trademark growl-voice and catch-phrases like “Ooh Yeah”, “Dig it!” and “Snap into a Slim Jim!” The latter of which, as silly as it sounds, helped solidify Savage as a household name, someone that even non-fans of wrestling had heard of.

From The Rock, Ken Shamrock and The Hardy Boyz on That 70s Show to Vader and Mick Foley on Boy Meets World, WWE always find an appropriate way to incorporate their superstars into television shows and movies.
For the most part, WWE superstars have played themselves or generic wrestlers in these pop culture scenarios. WWE and those shows capitalize on the special guests by writing an episode (or multiple episodes) based on the characters enjoying pro wrestling or being related to someone in the industry. However, the cameos made by WWE Superstars are not always that smooth and natural.
But what about all those strange cameos WWE Superstars have made?
Hulk Hogan has a history of starring in television shows and movies. Many times he is a current professional wrestler. In No Holds Barred, he plays a wrestler. In Rocky, he was a boxer. Those were among his normal roles in movies.

Just hearing about it in my old days in New York in the mid-‘70s, you know that was a huge deal. That’s where Bette Midler started and that whole scene!

Jennifer Lawrence is the best friend everyone wants (and pretends) to have, so can you imagine what it would be like tagging along as her date to the Oscars?
Now you don't have to imagine, because her date to the 86th Academy Awards was her actual, real-life Bff Laura Simpson, and she wrote a hilarious tell-all essay about her star-studded, surreal night at the ceremony and after-parties. Originally published on MySpace, Simpson's essay spans the entire day of prep, all the way to when she arrived home at 3:30 a.m.
Lawrence and Simpson met exactly how you'd expect them to: bonding over pizza. "How did I get invited to the 86th Academy Awards, you ask? Well, my best friend took me as her date," Simpson writes. "I met her seven years ago at an event where we both didn't know a single person. We hit it off over a mutual respect for Chandler Bing,...

Always there for her pal, Jennifer Lawrence's best friend, Laura Simpson attended the Academy Awards as her date, helped her stay up when she had an infamous spill, and also wrote a heartfelt essay about the "Hunger Games" starlet, and her Oscars experience.
Appropriately named, "I Went to the Oscars and Nobody Cared," Simpson posted her essay about being an invisible person next to one of the most famous people in the world on Myspace, writing, "How did I get invited to the 86th Academy Awards, you ask? Well, my best friend took me as her date. I met her seven years ago at an event where we both didn’t know a single person.

Kristen Bell brought a burrito to the Oscars. Kerry Washington packed snacks in her purse. Since the annual ceremony doesn't serve food, many stars in the audience were forced to fend off their hunger during the long show with their own travel-sized treats, and Jennifer Lawrence was no exception.
The lover of Doritos and junk food in general brought a bag of Pop Rocks into the Dolby Theatre with her for the awards show. Surprisingly, though, she wasn't the one who had packed them. Instead, it was the folks on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" who gave her the Pop Rocks she took into the Oscars.
"When I'm presenting, I'm going to pour them into my mouth," she told Us Weekly on the red carpet before the show. As we now know, she didn't follow through on that claim.
But since she is Jennifer Lawrence, the Oscar winner also came with protein-filled snacks of her own.

We all saw that Jennifer Lawrence brought her boyfriend, Nicholas Hoult, to the Oscars on Sunday, but he wasn't her only date. Jennifer's best friend, Laura Simpson, was along for the big night as well, and she shared an honest - and hilarious - account of what it was like to attend Hollywood's biggest event as a non-celebrity. We learned a few things while reading the article: You Don't See the Real Red Carpet on TV Highland (between Sunset and Hollywood) is filled with barricades with different entry points so no crazy person can plow their car through, killing everyone on the red carpet. Guarding each entry point through the barricades are men in head-to-toe camouflage with gigantic automatic weapons (rifles? I don't know guns). I try to take a photo of one, and I'm stopped immediately. Completely lining the sidewalks of Highland are the Jesus freaks. I am not...

The city of Townsville!
…is very much intact. For now.
Monday night’s Powerpuff Girls special on Cartoon Network was, for many of us, an emotional throwback to the show’s heyday. While the original show aired from 1998-2005, this week’s rebooted special boasted the return of its original voice casting—Cathy Cavadini (Blossom), Tara Strong (Bubbles), and Elizabeth Daily (Buttercup), along with the help of a few other Townsvillians who’ve managed to retain their charm over the years—the Mayor, Professor Utonium, and Miss Bellum, to name a select few.
For all its similarities to the original, though, this week’s re-imagining of the series also offered some interesting updates. Among the more hyped of these changes was the introduction of Townsville’s flamboyant mathematician, Fibonacci Sequins (voiced by Ringo Starr).

These days, pretty much everything I like is cool. Superheroes, horror films, video games — they’re all trendy in their own way. They’re all the type of things you can pick up some edgy looking girl at school with if you play your cards right (don’t call her a plebeian when she says she likes ‘Iron Man 3′).
You know what’s not cool at the moment? Wrestling. Nope, the year is not 1999. Stone Cold and The Rock have been replaced by a pandering man-child perpetually in “jorts” and guys who look like they take the “wellness policy” seriously. So seriously that they don’t even bother lifting weights.
Ah, but I still like it. I tweet about it, I potentially lose followers — what can you do? It’s fun. Yes, I know it’s “not real”, just as much as I realize ‘Man of Steel’ is fabricated. It’s live theatre,...

What can I say about the cannibal subgenre that stormed Euro cinema during the 70′s and 80′s? I love ‘em. I love ‘em when they’re good. I love them when they are not so good. I love them when they are an excuse to put naked women on the screen and cover them in Crayola paint (or reasonable knock off). There are very few that I dislike and most of the ones I dislike came about toward the end of the late 80′s as knock-offs of the best knock-offs that the subgenre ever produced.

On Thursday, Conan O'Brien visited the set of Piers Morgan Tonight where the talk included the infamous NBC kerfuffle, the comedian-host's recent interview with the Romney boys, and fittingly, for Morgan, love and sex. "Are you a romantic?" inquired Morgan. Well, indeed, the redheaded giant is. But that side is nearly impossible to find because it's hidden "deep, deep down under layers and layers of repression and ham." Now, snap into that, Slim Jim. Watch the clip straight ahead.Editor's Note: Since this was posted, we discovered that this interview was a rebroadcast of a June episode. However, as NBC once famously said, if you haven't seen it, it's new to you! What's that? That rerun-touting slogan was universally derided? Never mind, then.

The Super Bowl of Sports Entertainment, WrestleMania 28, is here with a four-hour extravaganza from Miami, Florida. The night's main event pits wrestling legend-turned-Hollywood star, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson against WWE's biggest attraction, John Cena. Cena thinks Rock is a sell-out who can't go anymore. Rock thinks Cena is overrated, one-note and protected by corporate PR. Who's right? The only way to settle it is to get in the ring.

You may have noticed that I don't post every "exclusive" new photo!video!thingamajig! the second it's released. I figure you can get them in 760,000 other places and if I post too many of them there will be no room for the words which is why we do this thing they call blogging. And this: I'd prefer to get paid advertising on the site than give free advertising. That said, I'm thinking we should include more so maybe roundups like this?
Here we go...
• I want that tie. I want it windsored up in my business immediately. Would it be unprofessional to beg Deborah Hopper for it first chance I get to interview her?
• Despite the Oscar friendly nature of the bulk of Clint Eastwood's modern filmography, none of his movies have ever been nominated for costume design. Could this be the first?
* Armie Hammer is very handsome.

Human Centipede franchise director Tom Six may make torture porn movies in which people are forcibly joined together rump-to-mouth. But even he has limits.
“I hate cheese, I hate it,” says the Dutchman, after ordering a fromage-free turkey club sandwich at a New York eaterie. “If I would be in a room alone with cheese, I would go crazy.” So cheese is his Human Centipede? “Absolutely! Especially the yellow sheets. Urggh!”
“Urggh!” is a reaction many will have to Six’s new movie, Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence). The film is his follow-up to last year’s cult hit Human Centipede...

Maybe you’d though that particular flesh ensemble would have ended up in a landfill by now; after all, it’s been nearly a year since the 2010 VMAs. Fortunately for historical memory, the scientific community has jerky technology beyond your wildest imagination. Entertainment Weekly reported that Lady Gaga’s meat dress will be displayed at the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame as part of the Women Who Rock exhibit, where hungry Clevelanders will be leaving hand prints on the glass starting June 16.
Gaga’s wardrobe has moved on to more nipple-oriented fare more recently, but we’ve snapped into a Slim Jim. We know the aliens are going to find this dress 10,000 years from now and assume we all wore raw meat gowns. Maybe that’s Gaga’s ever-lasting legacy to the world: that the future will think the entire human race was this fabulous.

Aside from the brutal attention she receives from Beliebers, Selena Gomez rarely gets caught up in the midst of public scandal. But just a few weeks ago, PETA (and singer Pink) criticized the Disney starlet for including pink-tinted horses in the clip for her song "Love You Like a Love Song." Now, Gomez's clip will no longer feature the painted ponies, according to E! Online.
For years, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has had a reputation for blasting singers, actors and just about everyone under the sun for any perceived mistreatment of animals. So, Selena, don't be alarmed: You're not the first or last star to be called out by the nonprofit animal-rights organization. Check out some of the other stars PETA has gone after:

On a beautiful day, Neal and June sit at the park watching her granddaughter Samantha play soccer. "Scenery, fresh air, just about everything I couldn't get at my last address." June says Byron loved it too for the same reasons. Neal: "You do like bad boys." She nods and laughs. Samantha scores a goal and comes over to celebrate. Too bad she's suffering from kidney failure. June sadly admits she was bumped from the donor list and Neal asks what he can do. I know, walk into Peter's house unannounced. I'm sure he'd love that. Neal: "I hope you don't mind. I let myself in." Peter: "I mind." Neal states the obvious and helps himself to Peter's Super Sugar O's. Hmm, I took Peter for an All-Bran kind of guy.

And 3-counts fail to crown new champions,
Those legacies that endure far stronger
Are of personalities bright as distant suns.

In spotlights, flares, fireworks, and beating drums
Belong not to boundless leapers or dreamers vernal
But weary warriors, they to time and injury succumb.
From that quantity of blood, bile, and broken bones
Left adorning small venue canvas mats,

In backwater towns and untelevised combats.

Celebrity Death! Wrestler Macho Man Randy Savage in freak car accident? [May 20] Wrestling star celeb Randy Poffo (a.k.a. Randy Macho Man Savage) was killed in a car accident Friday, May 20, 2011. The wrestling star reportedly had a heart attack while he was driving in Tampa. He crossed several lanes of oncoming traffic before hitting a tree head-on. His wife, who he married last year, suffered minor injuries and is expected to recover. Both Savage and his wife were wearing their seat belts and reports say alcohol is unlikely to have been involved, reports Yahoo! News. The star celeb wrestler, who was a big hit and had a couple of wrestling titles in the early days of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), now known as World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), was 58 at the time of his death. His titles preceded those of fellow star celeb wrestler Hulk Hogan, who ultimately ousted Savage as a title holder.

Former professional wrestler, actor and voice actor, “Macho Man” Randy Savage, whose legal name is Randy Mario Poffo died in a car crash Friday in Florida at the age of 58. Police said he may have suffered a “medical event” before the accident.
Before Stone Cold said so, before you smelled what The Rock was cookin’, professional wrestling greats like Hulk Hogan and “Macho Man” Randy Savage graced the squared circle. The latter became equally synonymous with pro wrestling as the aforementioned Hulkamaniac in the 1980s, with his trademark sunglasses, flashy fringed robes and jackets and matching cowboy hats.
“Macho Man” Randy Savage was known for his raspy voice uttering his catch phrase “Ooh yeah!” at every turn. Later, Savage went on to become the spokesman for Slim Jim snack foods in the mid-to-late 90s, appending “Snap into a Slim Jim” to his already known catch phrase, “Oooh yeah!“.

So sue me, I'm a wrestling fan. I first got into what WWE head cheese Vince McMahon prefers to call 'sports entertainment' these days way back in the early 1990s, in the era of (then) established stars like Hulk Hogan, Brutus 'The Barber' Beefcake, 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper, 'Million Dollar Man' Ted Dibiase, Mr Perfect, Big Bossman and a colourful, gravel throated character known as the 'Macho Man, aka Mr Randy Savage.
Born Randall Mario Poffo in 1952, Savage was a supernova among stars in the WWF roster, a character so much larger than life that even the red and yellow machismo machine that was Hulk Hogan struggled to match him in the charisma stakes.
Coming from athletic stock (his father Angelo Poffo, a well known wrestler in his own right in the 1950s and 60s who at one point held the World Sit Up record), Savage initially aspired to be a baseball player,...

The Florida Highway Patrol said that Savage, whose real name is Randy Mario Poffo, was driving a Jeep Wrangler that jumped the median and crashed into a tree.

Sad news, children of the '80s: wrestler Randy "Macho Man" Savage died this morning after suffering a heart attack behind the wheel of his car. He was 58. According to TMZ, Savage, who was wearing his seatbelt at the time, was driving "2009 Jeep Wrangler when he veered across a concrete median ... through oncoming traffic ... and collided head-on with a tree."
Without exaggeration, The Macho Man was one of my biggest childhood heroes. For a kid who read comic books, when he and Hulk Hogan teamed up to form the Mega Powers it was like tangible proof that super-heroes really did exist. When Macho and the Hulkster broke up (over a woman!), it was like learning Santa Claus didn't exist. I quickly got over my emotional devastation when I remembered what a great villain Macho Man made. Nobody could piss off a crowd, or cheat when the ref wasn't looking, like the Macho Man.
