UK-based Oxfam International knows when the stars donate to charity, a deal must be struck. Celebrity charity thrives on doing good deeds in public – so what better way to strut your selflessness than to sell yourself on eBay?

Scarlett Johansson, love of my life, is offering up a meet and greet for a lucky fellow who decides to pony up enough cash for a good cause. And by good cause, I mean hooking up with Scarlett Johansson, which will never happen, but hey – it’s for charity too. (more…)

It looks High Definition DVD’s are about to go the way of the Betamax and the Laser Disc when Toshiba announced that they would no longer develop, make, or market HD DVD players.

What prompted this decision was that major movie studios such as Warner Brothers, Disney, Sony, and Twentieth Century Fox decided to exclusively release their movies with the Blu-ray format. In addition to movie studios, retailers such as Wal-Mart, and Netflix also decided to only carry Blu-ray DVDs and hardware. Toshiba plans to phase out HD DVDs by reducing the amount of shipments to retailers and ceasing production by the end of March.

Paramount Pictures and Universal Studios, both of who signed to produce HD DVDs, probably will cease production of the format around the same time. (more…)

This is a hilarious parody on what it would be like if the Internet through a big party. These guys pretty much nailed each of the sites’ personalities perfectly.

Good news: eBay user “Petere92346″ sells an unopened bottle of “allsop’s [sic] arctic ale.full and corked with a wax seal” (produced in 1852) for over $300 bucks!

Pravda states that sex “treats hangovers, painful menstruations and [the] common cold.” So the next time your girlfriend is hungover, on the rag and sick offer her sex – how could she resist? (Pravda)

Canine-connoisseur Michael Vick felt really, really sorry about kicking the s*** out of small puppies…so he wrote down all of his feelings on a piece of paper.

Vick used a cue-card of sorts when he held a press conference last month condemning his own actions, using key words like “apologize” and “forgive” numerous times. Like the poet Baudelaire before him, Vick’s use of words were ripe with rhythm and reason.

Thought to be lost forever, the legendary “apology slip” of Michael Vick has been found.

Now, for all you feisty eBayers out there, you can own this slice of history at an affordable price!

Folks, this is your ONE chance to own an important piece of sports memorabilia.

Take a gander at the apology slip of paper, reprinted in all of its glory, after the jump!

Michael Bay’s Transformers is my childhood come to life. As a Transformers fan, I felt both excitement and hesitation when this project was announced; excitement because it was the Transformers being made into a live action movie; hesitation because I feared some studio executive was going to piss on my childhood and would green light a movie that was like 1998’s Godzilla. Luckily, Steven Spielberg came on board as executive producer. But to every yin there’s a yang: in this case, Michael Bay as director. The result is a highly stylized film whose good far outweighs its bad. I was six years old again and I loved it. (more…)
