Afternoon Meme: "Paris Is Burning" Jake Gyllenhaal Is a Good Guy, and Sister Clarice Is One Tough Lady

Plus, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, Saint Jessica Wild of Chickens, changing the look of The Hobbit, and Nintendo goes 3D.

I mentioned a couple of months ago there would be a new Jackass 3D coming out. Now there’s a story floating around on how Paramount made the decision to go 3D for Jackass. It involves tying a remote controlled helicopter to one of their junk and flying it in a tethered circle right at the executive’s face.

Nintendo is developing a 3D-capable 3DS that won’t require you to wear glasses. Or ever speak to another human being again.

The Onion TV is coming to TV. IFC has announced plans to bring the fake news format to cable in spring 2011. I’ll be honest, I’m not sure that it translates.

Take this with a boulder of salt, but Paper is reporting that out director Lee Daniels is working on bringing Paris Is Burning to Broadway.

There’s been a story running around the blogs painting a pretty ugly picture of Jake Gyllenhaal. It’s the sort of gossip we don’t trade in here, but it’s fairly widespread about a local fav, and E! has managed to debunk the whole thing. Rest easy – Jake is still cuddly and worthy of our lurrrve.

Sarah Jessica Parker spilled a few details about Sex and the City 2 which you can go read. I won’t quite call them spoilers, but some folks are wanting everything to be a surprise, so read it if you want it.

The Impossible Project has begun selling previously extinct Polaroid Instant Film again, but it’s not cheap. And eight-pack of film is going to run $21, and at the moment it’s only available in black-and-white.

Welcome to the Internet!

Guillermo del Toro is giving The Hobbit a “new look” which has me concerned, because I thought Peter Jackson got the Shire pretty close to perfect. And I don’t really need it looking like Hellboy or Pan’s Labyrinth.

Towleroad brings us the great news of a rural Georgia high school that decided it was fine for a student to bring his boyfriend to the prom. I’m guessing the world won’t end.

College students won’t be denied: Outlaw drinking on the beach, they’ll just bring water wings and drink while floating in the ocean.

Odds are Discovery Networks is going to give Sarah Palin $1 million/episode to air her commercials campaigning for president in 2012. Who knows, maybe by working in entertainment, she’ll finally meet a gay person.

When you do your grocery shopping online and have the local store deliver, they’re allowed to make substitutions of say, Minute Maid instead of Tropicana. You have to assume they know what they’re doing. You’d be wrong.

Bill Gates may be backing small-scale, basement nuclear reactors. You install one, you have electric power for 60 years. You may also gain a prehensile tail for your offspring.

This picture is funny if you know what kind of bird it is.

Some things just don't translate well to real life. Childhood lies!

Hey, in this economy, just be glad you have a job. Police work normally has great benefits, too.

I got this picture via email from the boss last night with absolutely no explanation as to what it was. You'd think I'd know, but I don't get Logo, so I had no idea this was RuPaul's Drag Race related. I was terribly confused. Actually, just knowing it was RuPaul's Drag Race related isn't enough - I'm still confused.

St. Jessica Wild of Chickens

This is entirely true.

Infographic of the day: Time use in America. Summary: We're pathetically lazy. Need a bigger version because too much television has ruined your eyesight?

I spend more time than this in front of the television/computer.

So that's why I've been having trouble sleeping!

I'd set this preview for Caprica up, but just about anything I say is a spoiler for the clip. Let's just go with the fact I wasn't expecting this from Sister Clarice.

Cattle farmers in Oregon are taking the scrap malt left over from a local brewery and feeding the rich grain to the cows, which are then slaughtered and sold at local butchers. It's green, and who knows, maybe drunk cows don't mind being made into tasty, tasty steak? Might make planning for March 14 easier, too.

Rosie O talks about her new talk show, which I have to admit, sounds just awful. There's just no way I'm going to tune in for Rosie to preach at me about how to raise teenagers.

FunnyOrDie.com brings us the trailer for Weird: The Al Yankovic Story. Hey - there's an Oscar winner in this thing.
