Afternoon Meme: Meet a High Society Gay, Ewan McGregor Kilted, Tim Burton's "Weekend At Bernie's" and More!

There's a new reality show that follows rich people around New York City called High Society. It will air on TheCW, and actual physical altercations are going to break out in the AfterElton.com offices over who covers this thing, because it has a gay guy. Meet Paul Johnson Calderon, freshly back from rehab, as he drinks and parties his way through his trust fund. And meet his long suffering mother, who just wants him to meet a nice guy like Anderson Cooper and settle down.

Yesterday snicks told you about Miss Beverly Hills, who thinks all gays should be put to death. He also mentioned that Beverly Hills wasn't happy about her. It turns out that Beverly Hills doesn't get a say, because anybody can name themselves after any town for the Miss USA pageant. I hereby crown myself Miss WeHo USA and demand to be addressed as such. Last night, Keith Olbermann and Dan Savage took on her views, and while predictable, I like that Dan pulled out some new Bible verses, and took time to dip into the New Testament as well. The shell fish thing was getting old and starting to smell.

I don't know if you've been following this case of the school district in Pennsylvania that issued the students laptops, then spied on them in their homes by remotely activating the webcams. Students found out when one was disciplined for violating rules at home – they thought he was popping pills, but he was just eating Mike & Ikes. So the school is stupid in addition to creepy. The report begins about 40 seconds in. Didn't anyone at the school see a problem with this? I mean, what if they activate the webcams and saw the kids in their bedrooms changing?

These self correcting dominoes defy the laws of physics. Or it's just a clever toy.

This may be one of my favorite videos ever - what if Tim Burton remade Weekend At Bernie's from the 80s? Would that not be the most incredible thing ever?

I don't ever play my Wii. Once a year I try out wii Fit and it tells me I'm in my 60s, and i get mad and refuse to touch it again for a year. But this Super Mario Galaxy 2 trailer looks kind of fun. Game comes out May 23.

This featurette is on the upcoming Beauty and the Beast remake (not the cheesy SyFy one). Beastly takes us behind the scenes with hottie Alex Pettyfer (teaser photo) and Neil Patrick Harris, who seems to play a bit of a snarky Cyrano de Bergerac.

The new trailer for A Nightmare on Elm Street 2010 is out, and it might not suck. But it probably will suck.

Minions. From Despicable Me. You know I had to run it. They're sooooo cute.

Lio comes back to show us what probably happens to aliens if they do visit earth.

At a pep rally at a Winnipeg high school, they decided to have a dance contest for the teachers. And two of them somehow thought a lap dance would somehow be appropriate in front of the entire student body. Most amusingly, it's the male teacher doing the lap dance. I suppose it goes without saying that the school district isn't pleased? That one teacher may now have to do lap dances to pay the rent. He's got the moves.

Last night on The Daily Show, John Hodgeman showed up to explain why the Winter Olympics suck, and how he would make them better. First he'd introduce some real sports instead of the drunken dares. And to the only real sport that currently exists, figure skating, well, he thinks they need to add more glitz.

Stephen Colbert had footage last night of him acting in his role as Assistant Team Psycologist. Freud rolled over in his grave, but I snorted Red Bull out the old nostrils when he gave a pep talk directly to the speed skater's shapely butt.

He also interviewed two freestyle ski aerialists, Ryan St. Onge and Speedy Peterson. It's like interviewing an insurance agent and his rowdy, ne'er do well brother.

Finally, I give you Ewan McGregor on The Ellen DeGeneres Show a few days past. He's adorable, he's shown in a kilt, and they show his Out photoshoot to the heartland. I love you, Ewan McGregor.
