The death of 'new' ideas is infecting more than just Hollywoodland.

???????? ????? ????????A musical version of 70's TV show Little House on the Prarie will be staged in Minneapolis, Minnesota this summer.

Plus, you'll be able to catch one of the TV show's stars in the production.

Melissa Gilbert, who famously portrayed Laura Ingalls on TV will be hitting the stage as momma Ingalls.

Somehow we don't think this show is gonna be jumping from Minneapolis to Broadway.

But, it might play a dinner theater near you soon!

A majority of y'all were gutted to hear that a sequel to Donnie Darko is in the works.

Well, we have news that will make your heads spin even more!

Saved By the Bell and Showgirls alum Elizabeth Berkley has been cast to join the flick!

She will play a speed freak-turned-Jesus freak whose sentiments about ridding the world of its exponential sin are rivaled only by her infatuation with her dreamy pastor.

Are the producers purposely turning #2 into a joke?

Eva Longoria Parker showed up to the Laker game Thursday night dressed like that!

It's a basketball game, honey. Not a club!

She should've stayed at home, though.

Maybe her husband's team would've won!

Now she'll have to deal with him all summer because the Lakers put a stop to the Spurs' season!

The Lakers are headed to the NBA finals!

Go Lakers!

"Deadly brown snake bites man's penis after he stops for roadside toilet break"

Ouch! CLICK HERE to read the article accompanying this headline.

Deadly snake bites penis

A MAN almost died when he stopped for a roadside toilet break and was bitten by a deadly snake - on the end of his manhood.
The poisonous brown snake darted between his legs and dived at his penis as he crouched on the roadside near Cairns, Australia, before fleeing.

Emergency workers rushed to the scene and wrapped the man's member in plastic in case it was infected with poison.

Shock

But the tourist - suffering from a wound, vomiting and stomach pain - was given the all clear after tests.

An ambulance spokesman, who described the victim as "lucky," said: "It certainly had a swipe at him.

"But it didn’t envenomate him. As it came through it must have got a bit of a shock.

"I think he was a bit shocked and embarrassed."

Kim Kardashian has taken umbrage with my clearly scientific debate regarding her buttpads. Check out her latest blog entry (NOTE: I took the liberty of un-editing all the a--'s. My replacements in italics.):

OMG! When will people get off my atrium, literally! Haha. I have said it a million times before and I'll say it again: My booty is as real as the designer items I'm auctioning off on eBay.
The reason I bring this up is because those jokesters at the Superficial claimed that I wear foam panties. NOT TRUE! (And I don't stuff 'em with Charmin either).
I think my photo shoots clearly prove I don't wear butt pads!
To all you non-believers at the Superficial, kiss my REAL and GORGEOUS amphitheater!
XOXO,
Kim

I've accepted Kim's challenge and included the Ralph Lauren photo shoot she presents as proof of her natural assy-ness. Now on to the scrutiny! Set 1: You're either making the most valid argument in the history of debate or really have to pee. Analysis: Inconclusive. Set 2: Do that underwear thing again. I can't research in these conditions. Analysis: BOO! Set 3: Ha! Mirrors don't fool me. You've been hanging out with Criss Angel, haven't you? Bad, Kim Kardashian! Bad! Analysis: Not convinced. Set 4: Okay, now you're just sitting on your butt. If you're not going to take this thing seriously, I'm taking off my pants. Analysis: I need me a gypsy tent. Set 5: Nipples will only get you everywhere. Analysis: Whatever she says is true. Set 6: Are you trying to knock down that wall? No, wait, you gotta pee again. Lady, go easy on the Aquafina. Christ. Analysis: What were we talking about again? If it's boobs, I'm all over it. DIAGNOSIS: BUTTPAD! Sorry, Kim, but hey, I'm a reasonable guy. You can invite me over to your house and we'll make some science. Namely through the time-tested method of my hands/your butt.* But, remember, it's all for the children. Those sweet, sweet children that I should probably wrangle up. Anyone got a net? *Tears of joy emitted from The Superficial Writer do not invalidate claims of buttpad's presence. The Superficial Writer also reserves the right to free said buttpad and use it as a decorative throw pillow in a room of his choosing. Buttpad may also double as a frisbee. Whee!

Comedian Harvey Korman passed away at the UCLA Medical Center on Thursday.

He was 81.

We LOVED watching Harvey on the Carol Burnett show and Mama's Family.

The world is a little less funny today.

Thoughts and prayers to the Korman family.
