Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane to host 2013 Oscars
After the gamble two years ago to inject new blood into the Academy Awards show failed to materialize in critical or commercial success, the producers of the event have decided to place their bet on someone edgier. It turns out that individual is Seth MacFarlane, the creator of Fox's Family Guy cartoon series as well as American Dad and The Cleveland Show. Let's also not forget that MacFarlane's first foray into motion pictures, Universal's Ted movie, made over $200 million dollars at the box office this past summer.

Christian Bale had a Batman suit panic attack
Audiences may now see Christian Bale as the modern day Batman but before his first outing as the Dark Knight, Bale was petrified of stepping into the cape and cowl. In fact, when he slipped on the Bat-suit that Val Kilmer wore in 1995's Batman Forever to audtion for the part, Bale had a severe panic attack.
"I think the very first time I put on the suit it was at the audition. It was Val Kilmer's so it didn't fit very well and the claustrophobia was just unbelievable," the 38-year-old told Parade magazine.
"I stood there and I thought, 'I can't breathe. I can't think. This is too tight, this is squeezing my head. I'm about to have a nervous breakdown. I'm about to have a panic attack.'"

Ernest Borgnine dead at 95
Ernest Borgnine had a career in Hollywood that spanned six decades, starting in 1951 and leading right up to the 2010s. Throughout those years his stocky, solid frame filled the television box and on the big screen where the Italian actor commanded your attention in whatever part he played. He seemed to remake himself every 15 or so years, finding a second, then a third and a fourth career to a new generation of watchers.

Kim Kardashian responds to Jon Hamm's slam
A few days ago, Mad Men actor Jon Hamm made the celeb headlines over a portion of his interview with Elle UK magazine. What Hamm said that got the bloggers talking wasn't about a spoiler in the upcoming fifth season premiere of Mad Men this month but instead about two of pop culture's most notorious ladies, Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton. Anyone want to take a guess as to what they have in common (and let's be civilized and leave out the known list of venereal diseases, OK?)
