It really looks fun.

Here's the video that the stills are from.

This is mind-blowing.

"In anticipation of the new 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' trailer, check out some brand new official pics from the upcoming film.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow: Part I opens in theaters November 19th, 2010.

Cast: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Tom Felton, Ralph Fiennes, Alan Rickman, Bill Nighy, Jamie Campbell Bower, Bonnie Wright, Helena Bonham Carter, Timothy Spall, Michael Gambon, Rhys Ifans, Maggie Smith, John Hurt, Jason Isaacs, Ciaran Hind

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," the seventh and final adventure in the Harry Potter film series, is a much-anticipated motion picture event to be told in two full-length parts.

Part 1 begins as Harry, Ron and Hermione set out on their perilous mission to track down and destroy the secret to Voldemort's immortality and destruction-the Horcruxes. On their own, without the guidance of their professors or the protection of Professor Dumbledore, the three friends must now rely on one another more than ever. But there are Dark Forces in their midst that threaten to tear them apart.

Meanwhile, the wizarding world has become a dangerous place for all enemies of the Dark Lord. The long-feared war has begun and Voldemort's Death Eaters seize control of the Ministry of Magic and even Hogwarts, terrorizing and arresting anyone who might oppose them. But the one prize they still seek is the one most valuable to Voldemort: Harry Potter. The Chosen One has become the hunted one as the Death Eaters search for Harry with orders to bring him to Voldemort...alive.

Harry's only hope is to find the Horcruxes before Voldemort finds him. But as he searches for clues, he uncovers an old and almost forgotten tale-the legend of the Deathly Hallows. And if the legend turns out to be true, it could give Voldemort the ultimate power he seeks.

Little does Harry know that his future has already been decided by his past when, on that fateful day, he became "the Boy Who Lived." No longer just a boy, Harry Potter is drawing ever closer to the task for which he has been preparing since the day he first stepped into Hogwarts: the ultimate battle with Voldemort.

Katy Perry's Breasts Are Not Welcome On Sesame Street...

...but True Blood, often referred to as "vampire porn" is!

Katy Perry sings "Hot N Cold" with Elmo on Sesame Street!

All Katy wants is to play dress-up while she's at Sesame Street, but Elmo is being hot n cold!

 

NEW YORK -- Katy Perry's cleavage is fine for Russell Brand,
not so for Elmo and Sesame Street.

The children's show says it won't air a taped segment featuring the "California Gurls" singer and Elmo.

The pop star -- who is known for her risque outfits -- wore a gold bustier top as she sang a version of her hit "Hot & Cold." But some felt it was too revealing for the kid set.

Sesame Street said in a statement Thursday that in light of the "feedback we've received" after the bit was aired on YouTube, they won't include it on the show.

...In 41 years on the air, the popular children's program has regularly featured celebrities, artists and musicians to help educate children, while engaging parents. ...While the show said the clip would still be available on YouTube, it had been removed by the official Sesame Street YouTube channel.

I truly do not care about what Sesame Street does and does not air but I find the irony of banning the viewing a bit of boobage and I mean a wee bit, for a viewing audience of under-sixers really funny. Chances are at least 50% that these children that need to be "protected" from Katy's breasticles have been up close and personal with breasts many times. (It's called breast-feeding.)

What does piss me off is the ongoing Victorian attitude toward female breasts. Worst still, do you think it was male parents complaining about Katy's cleavage? Of course not. It was jealous, spiteful moms who hate Katy Perry because she's got a great body and god-forbid that their toddlers, or worse their kids' dads should see Katy's boobage. Woman are their own worst enemies and Sesame Street you spinelessly played right into their stupidity.

Maybe this should be unsurprising.

My experience with Sesame Street is through three male family members who were offered Sesame Street as diversion in the '60's '80's and 90's--all three little guys were utterly bored by the show. Though Jim Henson was amazing, he of course is long dead. Just the same, Children's Television Workshop, enjoy the free publicity!

Sesame Street, which recently banned Katy Perry's skit for her chest baring wardrobe, is now spoofing "True Blood." Parents who complained about Katy Perry's outfit, will surely have something to say about this. Sesame Street is now taking on "True Blood" with a parody titled "True Mud." Bill and Sookie look alike muppets are seen talking "true mud" with a spoof that even includes the opening title song. This "True Blood" parody comes on the same day that PBS announced Katy Perry's skit would not be seen on air due to parents protesting her low cut dress.

Andy Whitfield, Starz's "Spartacus" (Blood and Sand) To Resume Cancer Treatment (9.17.10)

"Spartacus: Blood and Sand" star Andy Whitfield will not return for the series' second season due to a recurrence of cancer. Starz said Friday that the actor has been advised by doctors to "resume aggressive treatment" for his illness, and that he won't part of the show when it returns to the cable channel in September 2011.

Whitfield was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in March 2010. Production on the drama's freshman season was halted while the actor received medical care.

No decisions have been made about the future of the series.

Starz will air a "Blood and Sand" prequel, titled "Spartacus: Gods of the Arena," in January 2011.

Starz's full press release on Whitfield's condition can be found below:

(via THR)

 Below is the statement sent by his publicist: 

Andy Whitfield, star of Starz's "Spartacus: Blood and Sand," has been advised by his doctors to immediately resume aggressive treatment for a recurrence of cancer, as a result of which he will not be returning for the series' second season, which was tentatively set to air in September 2011.

"It's with a deep sense of disappointment that I must step aside from such an exceptional project as Spartacus‚ and all the wonderful people involved. It seems that it is time for myself and my family to embark on another extraordinary journey. Thank you sincerely for the support so far," said Whitfield.

"Our hearts and prayers are with Andy and his family during this difficult time," said Starz President and CEO Chris Albrecht. "Andy is not only an incredible actor whose portrayal of Spartacus made an indelible impression on Starz audiences, he is also an amazing human being whose courage, strength, and grace in the face of adversity have inspired all of us."

No decisions have yet been made about the future of the series. "Right now, we just want to extend our concern and support to Andy and his family," said Carmi Zlotnik, Managing Director, Starz Media. "We will address our programming plans at some later date."

Starz still plans to air the prequel to "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" in January 2011. Entitled "Spartacus: Gods of the Arena," it focuses on the House of Batiatus before Spartacus arrives in Capua and stars returning cast members John Hannah, Lucy Lawless, Peter Mensah and Manu Bennett, along with newcomer Dustin Clare.

Spartacus: Gods of the Arena
Coming to Starz Jan 2011. Starring: Dustin Clare, Jaime Murray, Marisa Ramirez, Jeffrey Thomas, Temuera Morrison, Andy Whitfield, Lucy Lawless, John Hannah, Manu Bennett, Lesley-Ann Brandt and Peter Mensah.

The House of Batiatus has towered above the city of Capua for many years. "Spartacus: Gods of the Arena" will explore its deadly history before the arrival of Spartacus, and the death he carried with him.
It's a time of transition as Quintus Lentulus Batiatus takes the reins of his father's stable of gladiators, with ambitions to elevate the house beyond all former glories. With his beautiful, scheming wife Lucretia at his side, he will stop at nothing to see his name forever carved into history.

Batiatus stakes his fortunes on the roguish gladiator Gannicus, a man whose skill with a sword is surpassed only by his appetite to live every day as if it were his last. But there are those who would see Batiatus and his champion destroyed. Loyalties will be tested, lives shattered, and battles waged in this thrilling prequel to "Spartacus: Blood and Sand."
