Morning Meme: David Garrett Rocks a Fiddle, "The People I've Slept With," and Who Is Judge Dredd?

Plus Margaret Cho's new music, what is replacing As the World Turns, and The CW is tops with Tater Tots.

The latest casting rumor in advance of Comic-Con is likely to catch the attention of AfterElton.com reader AddisonDewitt. A remake that I can get behind (because it can’t be worse than the original) is Judge Dredd, and the rumored actor passing judgment is Karl Urban.

E! has announced their Tater Top Award winners, and it’s about as fair and balanced as Fox News.  But other than the wins for House, The CW cleaned up, and where else can Gossip Girl or Vampire Diaries win something?

Microsoft has found a way to make their upcoming Windows 7 Phone popular – they’re giving one to each of their 90,000 employees. Cool work perk if you can get it, and don’t mind rebooting in the middle of your calls.

Shockingly, the $52 million musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark has finally scheduled rehearsals to begin with the full cast August 16th, with a preview target of November. Then it’s just 16 years of capacity crowds to break even.

The White House has issued a release touting the victory in the United Nations in getting the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission official status as an official Non-Governmental Organization. It’s not what I’d call a victory, since the only people voting against it have pretty terrible gay rights records, but since the Bush White House was against approval, I’ll let it slide.

I don’t know how they narrowed it down, but here are the Seven Craziest Westboro Baptist Church Protests Ever.

CBS has decided to replace As the World Turns with the talk show being nicknamed The Mommy View. Julie Chen, Sharon Osbourne, Leah Remini, Holly Robinson Peete, Marissa Jaret Winokur and Sara Gilbert will sit around and discuss the world through the eyes of motherhood. It’s a reasonably diverse panel, and we do have Sarah Gilbert representing the lesbian mom contingent.

Philly Mag embarks on an f-bomb laden rant about why the FCC needs to Quit Worrying and Love the F-Bomb.

Sam Adama is back on your screens come January, but the second half of the first season of Caprica will get a trailer at Comic-Con, and we’ll have it for you as soon as it happens, probably on our Facebook page.

I’m terrible at buying clothes online. I don’t know how anything is going to fit. So Fits.Me came up with a segmented male mannequin torso with some fancy robotics. You tell the website your measurements, and onscreen the mannequin adjusts to your build wearing the shirt. It’s both cool and creepy in the video.

This list of 10 Unusual Drive-Thru Services has the usual suspects like weddings and funerals, but the drive-thru strip club was a new one on me.

Sharon Stone is set to star in Sweet Baby Jesus as the mother of Pixie Lott as Mary. Adrien Brody is in negotiations for Joseph. The concept involves a pregnant hippie chick who wanders into Bethlehem, Maryland with her husband Joseph, and the whole town gets convinced it’s the second coming. Bette Midler plays the inn keeper.

Jon Hamm is set to voice an FBI agent on The Simpsons this year. Separately, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg is looking for some good press by playing a yellow version of himself in Springfield.

I think it’s fair to say that the best assets Kellan Lutz and wolf packer Boo Boo Stewart have are their bodies. So why they were signed on to voice characters in a direct-to-DVD anime movie Guardians of Luna is anyone’s guess.

Margaret Cho has a new career as a musician, and she names the songs that changed her life. I’ve heard of two of them.

Nickelodeon has decided they need to save The Last Airbender from the movie version. The TV part of the franchise is going back to its roots to do it. They greenlit a new animated series called The Legend of Korra, centering around the avatar after Aang, a waterbender named Korra.
