THE RETURN OF GREEN JELLY!!!!
From Wikipedia:
On February 19, 2008, music news website Blabbermouth.net announced that Green Jellÿ was reuniting and that a possible U.S. tour was in the works. Tourdates are listed at their MySpace page. The band also re-released the Cereal Killer and 333 video/albums on DVD, which are only sold at their concerts.
In late August, the band announced via their Myspace page that they would again be going on tour in the Fall. Several new songs are available via their Myspace page, as well as information on a new Green Jello DVD and CD.
The latest incarnation of the band has been widely hailed as a talented group of the next generation's best metal musicians and includes the talented guitarist Dread, formerly the drummer of Green Jellÿ who switched back to his natural position. Dread and fellow Green Jellÿ member Sikko are also members of the locally successful Los Angeles bands Mandown and Pottymouth.
Green Jelly released Musick to Insult Your Intelligence By on October 13, 2009. This makes it the first album to be released in 15 years.

From comicbookmovie.com:
Jones was taken into custody by DEA agents who claim that he was a "co-conspirator" in a series of major drug deals in 2008. According to documents filed in federal court, the DEA claims Jones was the "Hollywood connection" in a plot to illegally purchase and distribute the drug.
Jones has been charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute. He's due in federal court in LA today. If convicted, Jones faces up to 20 years in federal prison.

Just in case Disney buying Marvel wasn't enough for you:
From gamesindustry.biz:
The worldwide rights to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles brand have been sold to Viacom division Nickelodeon, for a sum of approximately USD 60 million (GBP 36.3 million).
Rival 4Kids Entertainment, which currently licenses the property on behalf of The Mirage Group, will receive USD 9.75 million (GBP 5.9 million), with a possible extra USD 1 million upon expiration of the escrow relating to the transaction.
Previous rights owner The Mirage Group was founded by original comic book creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, who were also closely involved in the creation of the original cartoon series. However, in 2000 Laird began a buyout of Eastman's share of the company, which was completed in 2008.
Nickelodeon plans to develop a new computer generated TV series, to premiere in 2012, as well as a new feature film in partnership with Viacom's Paramount Pictures.
Although Nickelodeon now owns all merchandising rights it has stated it will continue to work with long-time toy licensee Playmates. No announcement has been made regarding the videogame rights, which are currently owned by Ubisoft.
Over the franchise's 25 year history the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have appeared in numerous videogames, with Konami producing a number of popular titles during the 8-bit and 16-bit eras. However, newer titles, such as Ubisoft's recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash-Up, have been less well received.
Although Nickelodeon has given no indication of its plans for the videogame rights it may look to follow companies such as Disney and Marvel in bringing video game development, or at least publishing, in-house. A similar move is widely anticipated when the company's more general licensing agreement with THQ expires in 2010.

Facebook gets a little cooler
I found this on Joystiq:
Sid Meier has announced a Facebook version of the epic Civilization franchise. Dubbed Civilization Network, the game will make its way to the popular social networking site sometime in 2010. The game designer notes on the CivNet Facebook page that the company will be on the lookout for beta testers soon.
Meier mentions that the game will offer everything people love about Civ in a "fully persistent environment" and that it'll be "free to play." Coincidentally, Meier's announcement comes soon after Brian Reynolds, who designed Civilization II and Alpha Centauri, took the job of "chief designer" at social gaming developer Zynga. Apparently the two strategy designers see some major opportunities in the social gaming genre.
