MONDAY MORNING MAILBAG!
I always thought it was a little weird to be friends with your boss on Facebook, because let's face it: There's stuff on your profile you probably don't want them to see.
The other day I was checking out my profile and I noticed I had fewer friends than before.
I went to some of my co-worker's pages, and I also noticed that we had fewer mutual friends. When I went to check out my boss's page, I couldn't . . . because she UNFRIENDED me.
I have no idea what I did to deserve it, and I don't want to bring it up because it could be awkward.
Should I ask my boss why she unfriended me on Facebook? Is it bad form to unfriend someone you have to see on a daily basis, even if you don't like them? Should I send her another friend request and see what happens?
SUPERMAN IS BRITISH?!
First, they cast a British guy to play our 16th president in "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter". Now, they've cast yet another Limey as the new Superman.
It's HENRY CAVILL . . . who's probably best known for playing Charles Brandon on the Showtime series "The Tudors".
The latest reboot of the Superman franchise will be called "Superman: Man of Steel". It's being directed by ZACK SNYDER, who did "300", "Watchmen" and the "Dawn of the Dead" remake.
The story was conceived by CHRISTOPHER NOLAN . . . the GENIUS behind the current "Batman" flicks . . . not to mention "Inception".
Cavill was actually cast as Superman several years ago, when "Charlie's Angels" director McG was going to reboot the series.
But then "X-Men" director BRYAN SINGER took over the project, and he cast BRANDON ROUTH. The resulting film, "Superman Returns", came out in 2006, and was generally considered a disappointment, even though it made decent money.
(--Christian Bale is British, you know. And so is the new Spider-Man, Andrew Garfield. That means that Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, and Abraham Lincoln are all being played by Brits. Should somebody tell Glenn Beck about this? Discuss.)
WHATEVER!
HEIDI AND SPENCER NEWS! BLAH!
Former "Hills" idiots HEIDI MONTAG and SPENCER PRATT have released new tracks. And they're both abysmal . . . not that you'd expect anything else from them.
Heidi's song is called "Heartbeat". (--You can listen to it, here.)
It's pretty hard to make out ANY of Heidi's lyrics on first listen. But the chorus includes the lines: "Don't touch me. No, no, no, no, no. Don't touch me. I don't need to enjoy myself. Enjoy myself to diffuse it. I'm gonna lose it, if you're making my heart beat."
Spencer's new track is a rap called "Go to Work". It features two rappers named Pete G and Ya Boy. (--Check it out, here.
STUPID VIDEO OF THE DAY
This was almost definitely staged, but it's still cool: During halftime at a recent basketball game, the Washington Wizards let four fans try trick dunks using a trampoline.
The first three guys failed miserably, but the fourth guy did a front flip dunk WHILE talking on his cell phone. Then he took his shirt off and did a series of back-handsprings the whole way down the court.
