We may not know what Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ daughter looks like on the outside, but her insides are about to become a little less mysterious.
Turning “fine art” into what may be the most subjective term in the world, a bronze sculpture entitled Suri’s Bronzed Baby Poop, inspired by the TomKitten spawn’s first solid meal and the fecal matter that presumably followed, will go on display Wednesday.
Daniel Edwards, who previously brought us Monument to Pro-Life: The Birth of Sean Preston, the sculpture of a very pregnant and very nude
Britney Spears giving birth on a bearskin rug, is the man behind the idea, which, according to a press release, was also inspired by the successful children’s book Everybody Poops.

Something quite fitting about this one.

BOULDER, Colorado (CNN) — Schoolteacher John Mark Karr will not be charged with the murder of 6-year-old beauty pageant competitor JonBenet Ramsey, Karr’s attorney said Monday.
“The warrant on Mr. Karr has been dropped by the district attorney,” public defender Seth Temin said outside the jail. “They are not proceeding with the case.”
He said a hearing scheduled later Monday afternoon has been canceled.
Temin also said he was “deeply disturbed” that authorities in Boulder brought Karr from Thailand with what appears to have been scant evidence.
Colorado authorities have not commented on their decision not to pursue charges against the man named in a warrant alleging murder, kidnapping and sexual assault on a child.

Jesus Hogg Christ. Why are they doing this!? The first Hazzard wasn’t bad enough now they’re bringing back the “teen Dukes.” With such stars as Harlan Williams as Roscoe and the guy that played Shooter McGavin in Happy Gilmore as Boss Hogg, not to mention Sherilyn Fenn as Lulu Hogg, and Trishelle Cannatella (of Real World fame) as some other inbred hick. I dunno which will be worse, this or the Transformers movie.

Photos of the new Megatron have leaked out on the interweb. Wow. This is BAD. Not only does he look like a metal rubberband ball, he doesn’t even turn into a GUN! Fuck you Michael Bay.

PRAGUE, Czech Republic (AP) — Leading astronomers declared Thursday that Pluto is no longer a planet under historic new guidelines that downsize the solar system from nine planets to eight.
After a tumultuous week of clashing over the essence of the cosmos, the International Astronomical Union stripped Pluto of the planetary status it has held since its discovery in 1930. The new definition of what is — and isn’t — a planet fills a centuries-old black hole for scientists who have labored since Copernicus without one.

LOS ANGELES - The latest high-profile Hollywood breakup is between
Tom Cruise and his studio. Sumner Redstone, whose company owns Paramount Pictures, said the studio would sever its 14-year relationship with Cruise’s film production company because “his recent conduct has not been acceptable to Paramount.”“As much as we like him personally,” the Viacom Inc. chairman told The Wall Street Journal, “we thought it was wrong to renew his deal.”
Cruise’s partner, Paula Wagner, said negotiations on a new contract simply fizzled.

This is gonna SUCK!
WB animation is remaking the Thundercats as an animated TV series. The animation style is whimsical, Americanized-anime, along the lines of Teen Titans. The setting is modern-day Earth, in a major city (possibly LA) The Thundercats are all teenagers. Their leader is Snarf (!) who is now a mystic with a “third” eye. Each of the Thundercats has a weapon with an “Eye of Thunderra” and transformative powers (not just Lion-O) When they aren’t fighting evil, the Thundercats play together as a rock band. That’s not a typo, or a joke. They are rockin’ cats in their present form. Mum-Ra now has wings.

DENVER — Psychic Dorothy Allison believed she knew what JonBenet’s killer looked like and provided a sketch to the Ramsey family, based on her visions.
The Ramsey family Web site published the sketch, asking the public, “Have you seen this man? This man may have been in the Boulder area in December 1996.”The sketch was also given to Boulder police, who continued to insist that nobody outside the family was likely involved in the crime. A comparison of the sketch side-by-side with that of a picture of suspect John Karr appears to show remarkable resemblance.Allison originally came up with the sketch during a 1998 appearance on the nationally syndicated Leeza Gibbons Show. Allison died a year later.
