Morning Meme: Captain America Search Gets Sexy, Disney Butches it Up, plus Neil Patrick Harris Is Pretty

Disney had their first bomb in years with The Princess and the Frog, and they think they know why: boys won’t go see a movie about a Princess. I blame the parents. But Disney has a workaround for their next film: They've renamed Rapunzel and are calling it Tangled. They also added a swashbuckling bandit named "Flynn Rider" to the classic fairy tale, and made him the center of the film. Bad multinational conglomerate. Bad.

Scientists are now saying the Chilean quake was so powerful that it moved the entire city of Concepcion ten feet to the west. It shifted places like Buenes Aires on the other side of the continent one inch to the west. Mother Nature needed some serious feng shui.

It’s been at least five hours since I wrote that John Krasinski was a lock for Captain America, so there has to be a new rumor. America picked a new president with less effort than picking a Captain. But the complication is - it’s not just this movie. Marvel is determined to weave Cap through all their upcoming films, so they’re signing someone for this plus nine more. Latest additions? Chris Evans, who’s played a comic book character before. He certainly has the physique.

A restaurant in New York City serves breast milk cheese. They tasted it on Live with Regis & Kelly on Tuesday.

Manolith isn’t everyone’s taste for a website, but they hit a few homeruns. Now they want to know How Many Congressmen Aren’t Gay?  They also propose a new rule that every virulently anti-gay senator that turns out gay, another state has to adopt gay marriage. Seems fair to me. 

We have a cure for Crazy Cat Lady Syndrome, also known as toxoplasmosis. Not only is a possible cure for the disease but it involves gold nanoparticles and lasers to kill a brain parasite, meaning you won’t be embarrassed to admit to your buddies you’re going in for treatment for Crazy Cat Lady Syndrome.

After the Cablevision/ABC kerfuffle that nearly deprived the world’s largest media market of the Academy Awards this weekend, the cable companies are asking the FCC to step in and regulate retransmission fees. From a technical standpoint, nobody believes the FCC has the power to do this. And no one thinks that this will keep your cable bill lower than your mortgage.

Over at Entertainment Weekly, the Spurf™ got Neil Patrick Harris on a phone interview to discuss Glee and the Smurfs movie, two things near and dear to the Spurf™’s heart. First off, we discover that NPH was offended that people thought he would play Gargamel, the only major human character we knew from the cartoon. He thinks he’s too pretty (we all think you’re pretty, Neil). And despite him trying to keep it a secret, the Spurf™ says NPH & Mr. Schue will close out his Glee episode with a duet. If you want to know what, go listen.

Via Towleroad, we discover that twin baby elephant brothers were just born, and you know how I feel about baby elephants – delicious! (I’m kidding.)

Stretch is a fun-loving under-the-sea octopus friend that shines in glittery purple. Kids can count her eight rubbery legs and dozens of sticky suckers that are sure to stand up to rough-and-tumble play and extreme stretching. Toss her high on the wall and watch her climb her way down! Clean in mild soap solution to remove dust and lint.

I've owned three convertibles in my life, and I've been caught with the top down in a rainstorm more than once. But I never managed this. For their sake, I'm hoping this wasn't once of the giant blizzards we got on the east coast.

Want to bet nobody told the owner?

Today's optical illusion is fairly simple. Follow the instructions.

This sort of qualifies and an optical illusion. Why go to the gym when you just do this?

I guess I'd never considered the physical performance for the "band" on Glee during the musical numbers. They're lipsynching too, or playing air guitar, etc. Mark Salling sent this video out from the set. I guess I need to watch the background a little more closely when it finally returns.

Just Wright is a sports-centered romantic comedy starring Vivica Fox for heat, Queen Latifa for talent, and Common for smolder. Basically, they're trying to make a movie that both men and women actually want to see. I'm including it because it actually may not suck, and they do use the term "gaydar" in the trailer, so it fits.

In this preview from next week's RuPaul's Drag Race, we're told to "Prepare to Rock."
