Morning Meme: Professor Franco, Madonna Talks "W.E.," "Little Miss Sunshine: The Musical," plus Robert Pattinson Gets Doodled

Regis "The Situation" Philbin, Avatar: The Last Airbender goes on location in Greenland, The Daily Show helps out POTUS, and NBC goes Undercovers.

Outfest 2010 just announced that Howl will be their opener come July. That adds some serious star power with James Franco, Jon Hamm, Mary-Louise Parker, and Jeff Daniels.  The film follows the life of beat poet Allen Ginsberg.

In other James Franco news (can there ever be enough?), at the premiere of his directorial debut, Saturday Night, he mentioned that he’s hoping to be a teaching assistant when he joins Yale’s Ph.D English program in the fall. I think having James Franco as an instructor might even impress freshmen at Yale.

An otherwise petite woman had an extreme form of bilateral gynecomastia in which her breasts never stopped growing. After her third child was born, she was bedridden by giant N-cups. She’s since been reduced to a 34-B.

In her profile in Interview, Madonna tells Gus Van Sant that W.E. isn’t actually about the Duke and Duchess. It’s about another woman’s journey and the duchess is her “spiritual guide.” She also says it’s “fantastic and complicated” because that always goes over well with audiences.

A photographer has taken 4,250 consecutive pictures to create a 45-gigapixel panoramic picture of Dubai that you can zoom in down to the individual people without losing quality. It’s the ultimate time waster.

If it weren’t for the Hot 100 voting, I wouldn’t mention it, but this icked me out a bit. Smoking hot David Boreanaz had an affair with Rachel Uchitel, who was mistress #1 for Tiger Woods. According to STD PSAs I’ve watched all my life, that means Tiger Woods slept with David Boreanaz. No?

Every bottle of Dawn Dishwashing Liquid you buy donates a dollar to wildlife cleanup, which is being directed to the Gulf Coast right now. They’ve already shipped 1,000 bottles of soap for the cleanup effort. Of course, the cynical are saying that Dawn has found a way to profit off the disaster.

Jim Parsons is finally going to answer the question of whether he’s acting or just being himself on The Big Bang Theory. He’s joined the cast of Fox’s movie The Big Year where he’ll play a smart, socially awkward avian blogger. Maybe this doesn’t resolve anything.

Little Miss Sunshine has been turned into a stage musical. It will premiere at the La Jolla Playhouse come February once it's adapted by William Finn and James Lapine, who previously did The 25^th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.

NBC is betting big on J.J. Abrams Undercovers, ordering the series for next year. The pilot, about a spy couple reactivated by the CIA, is rumored to have cost $10 million to film.

How was President Obama so effortlessly topical and funny Saturday night, upstaging professional comedian Jay Leno? Easy – The Daily Show writers did his bits. And knowing that, you can go back and watch it and it’s so obvious.

Florida state senator Mike Bennet (R) was caught looking at websites of an adult variety on the floor of the statehouse. Yes, there’s video.

New York State has a searchable database of unclaimed money they might be holding for residents. There are big names on the list, like Andy Warhol, Jon Stewart, Keith Olbermann, and even billionaire George Soros.

For your feel-good-moment, go read about the little boy with cancer who was turned into a super hero for a day. You’ve never read about a Make-A-Wish like this. Maybe all people don’t suck?

This may be the coolest thing I've ever seen - Volkswagons stacked in the massive glass silos at Autostadt, an amusement park next to the main VW plant.

Do you get to ride with a car?

Fame Comics are the modern Tiger Beat, like a biography for young stars who don't have enough of their lives to justify a whole book yet, but you can still make a buck writing about them. MTV has eight pages from Robert Pattinson's.

The hair looks too clean.

I have no idea.

The greatest fast food hamburger in the world is definitely a Double-Double Jungle Style, but there's nothing like the greasy, onion smell of White Castle.

Now available in candle form.

I've seen too many sad pictures of turtles over the past week from the Gulf Coast.

Mind freshly blown.

This featurette about Avatar: The Last Airbender shows some of the on location filming and the sets. They're more extensive than I expected - I assumed a lot more green screen.

Regis and Kelly don't do Christmas in July, but they do have Halloween in May. It's a bit painful to watch, yet beautiful in a really creepy way. When Regis lifts his shirt, I almost couldn't look.

Bonnie Hunt's mom is a hoarder. She literally keeps garbage. To help get rid of it, Bonnie has her make outfits for Leif, one of the show's writers. They vary from skydiving suits he uses at the FlyAway wind tunnels to this ballet outfit. There's a certain adorkable quality to Leif that I find sexy.

Robert Downey, Jr. is merely an appendage. Take that as you will.

And just for fun, here's Chris Colfer in the Glee Photo Booth. He can rock a top hat and ruffles.

Drew Barrymore has released a tell-all coloring book.
