Hey, watch this trailer for the upcoming CW Seed cartoon, set in the Arrow/Flash TV universe, and tell me you don’t think it would work as a live-action series. Heck, we’ve got Stephen Amell, Grant Gustin and their co-stars voicing their same roles—it’s another hit waiting to happen! For the record, that’s Megalyn Echikunwoke of…
And I mean “bloody” both in the British sense of “extremely” and the more traditional definition, “covered in blood.” Ash Vs. Evil Dead looks fantastic— funny, gory, and delightfully messed-up—and clearly Bruce Campbell hasn’t missed a beat since he last strapped on Ash’s chainsaw hand. Can’t wait til Halloween!

When cult sci-fi TV show Firefly was canceled more than a decade ago, actor Alan Tudyk could have become a tragi-comic figure, increasingly in the shadow of his former costar Nathan Fillion. Instead Tudyk appeared in a slew of films and TV shows and then, earlier this year, launched a hugely successful Indiegogo campaign for a Web series called…

Paula Deen hasn’t learned anything. You’d think after losing a TV show and endorsements, her hot-butter-loving ass would know what not to do when it comes to making fun of different races. For her #TransformationTuesday photo, Deen posted a photo of herself with her son Bobby dressed up as Lucy and Ricky Ricardo from I…
I spent the morning of London’s Pride parade hand-stitching dildos onto a flag. I’d been using the sex-toy motif in my work before I made a flag of Isis out of them and brought it to the march. Previously, I’ve attached dildos onto postcards from each country where homosexuality is still illegal to point out…
Oh my stars, it seems America’s most virginal born-again virgin is with child. Again: I wanted you guys to be the first to know that I am pregnant. Honestly, I’ve been trying my hardest to keep my chin up on this one. At the end of the day there’s nothing I can’t do with God…
Much has been made about the M-rating of the recently released Batman: Arkham Knight, and how far the game is willing to go in terms of characters and moving the actual storyline of this world forward.
