Macaulay Culkin bought Marilyn Manson his first pack of cigarettes - Virgina Slims - for Manson's role as Christina during the filming of Party Monster (2003; excellent book & movie by the way - since I doubt many, if any, of you read/saw it. I highly recommend it, especially if you like true crime & books based on the club kids of the late 80s/early 90s. It was based on the Michael Alig murder case, written by Michael's friend & original club kid James St. James). Mac said he found it so ironic considering that Manson is considered "the Antichrist" by many, and it's Macaulay Culkin who's corrupting him. He was ranked #2 in VH1's list of the "100 Greatest Kid Stars". He was ranked #2 in E's most cutest child stars all grown-up. (2005). He Wrote a book titled "Junior". He is currently dating Mila Kunis, star of "That '70s Show". Mac became the first child actor to ever receive a million dollars for one film - and in a supporting role too! The film was My Girl (1991). He was considered for the male lead in Titanic (1997). Happy birthday Mac! Today he turns 26.

Family Guy creator Seth McFarland was slated to board one of the doomed planes in the 9/11 hijackings, but missed his flight because his cab was late to the airport.

If he had made the flight, he would have been killed and Family Guy would never have been brought back...and American Dad would never have existed.

Kind of strange.

Christian Slater won the roles of the Interviewer in Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994) and Eric Draven in The Crow (1994) after the death of friend and fellow actor River Phoenix (who had been cast in the first role and turned down the second). Slater also turned down the lead in The Crow (1994), leading producers to actor Brandon Lee. (Can't think of anyone else in that role now. & also, there's 'Brandon Lee' by The 69 Eyes... wouldn't work if it was River Phoenix or Christian Slater'.) He also donated his whole paycheck from Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles to River Phoenix's favorite charities after his untimely death at age 23 in the front of Johnny Depp's club The Viper Room.

What's the difference between se lions & seals? Sea lions have external earflaps, but seals do not. Also, sea lions can pulls their hind limbs forward to use as 'back legs' when on land. Seals cannot do this

March 30, 2007 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV comes out in theaters. 16 years to the day the first movie hit theaters. This one is CGI, kids. Not the latex costumes we grew up with. It follows the 2nd movie, but there will be nods to the animated series and previous films (including 3). It will be a "rebirth" film. Casey & April will be in it. I'm not sure but I don't think the history of Splinter/the Turtles/Shedder will be explained in this one since it has been way overdone. This is after Shedder was crushed in the garbage truck, so he definately won't be in it.

Max Schreck played the first vampire in movie history in "Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Gruauens" (1922). Graf Orlok (Nosferatu) is only seen on screen for a bit less than nine minutes in total throughout the whole film. All known prints and negatives were destroyed under the terms of settlement of a lawsuit by Bram Stoker's widow. However, the film would subsequently surface in other countries. Clips from the movie are included in the rock band Queen's "Under Pressure" video. Director F.W. Murnau found Max Schreck "strikingly ugly" in real life and decided the vampire makeup would suffice with just pointy ears and false teeth. Christopher Walken's character as the bad guy in "Batman Returns" was named Max Schreck.

Don't feed animals what you would stereotypically feed them in a cartoon.

-Don't give cats milk, most adult cats are lactose intolerant.

-Don't feed rabbits lettuce, or any other family vegetable that you eat for dinner, they can die.

-Don't feed mice cheese, it clogs their arteries or something.

-And obviously, dogs can't eat bones.

You'd wonder why things like that are on cartoons... maybe they were all like "Hey, whats a food that hurts this animal? We'll have it eat that!"
