I really felt bad bad bad bad bad that I might be sending you into the weekend without a gift. Well, thanks to ToplessRobot, I found what I was lookin’ for. Web-celebrity, “Chad Vader” released a cool cool cool cool cool parody of Rebecca Black’s now famous song, “Friday”. I find the video pretty fun fun fun fun fun fun fun considering its always entertaining to see Darth Vader sing about something as random announcing his bike only has only seat or what he wants for breakfast. Considering, I truly dislike the original song (but not the singer), I can’t help but kind of like Vader’s version. My only problem would be that Vader kind of sounds like an auto-tuned Arnold Schwarzenegger more than the actual Sith Lord. I find it pretty nice that I can put this video out on Friday Friday Friday Friday Friday Friday for you to enjoy. Cheers!

Okay, I’m man enough to say that at one point in my life, I liked ‘Pokemon’ and had a thing for Jesse from Team Rocket. So you can imagine what kind of insane flashback trip I was going though when I came across this beauty on Geekologie. Russian cosplayer extraordinaire, Ryoko-demon created what might be the greatest Team Rocket cosplay of all time. What really sets Ryoko’s cosplay from the rest would have to be the hair. Using steel wires, paper-mache, acrylic paint, and years of experience, Ryoko created a stunning wig that makes you think Jessie jumped off the screen. What makes it even better is the fact that Ryoko even took her creativity and skill further by making her own Meowth plush. Ryoko is kind enough to have a tutorial posted on her DeviantArt gallery to show how it was made so you can do it too at home. Thats pretty bad ass in my opinion.

She is sooooo cute! Tessa Violet (@meekakitty) is the girl behind the “Star Trek Girl” song and music video from a while back. Well, she is back with a new song called “Navi’s Song (Hey, Listen!)” inspired by Navi from ‘Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time’. Its a sad tale of a girl (Navi) who is stuck being in love with a douche (Link) who doesn’t appreciate what he already has and goes around where ever his “sword” leads him. Unfortunately, unlike Link, Navi has a difficult time forgetting what they had together. Considering Navi is considered one of the most annoying characters ever, it is hard to be annoyed by Tessa. I find her to be adorable and quite cute! She kind of makes me want to punch Link in the gut once for the emotional distress hes putting Navi through. The music video is not cheesy and jam packed with hideous cosplay. It’s subtle, original, but well thought out. It’s also very hard to hate a video that was shot in locations around Los Angeles like Little Tokyo. I also find it a bit funny that Navi is the only other character in Zelda (besides Link in ‘Wind Waker’) that speaks any English. And yes, “listen” is one of those words.

Sometimes, putting yourself out there will help your chances in finding great opportunities. That is the case with Michelle Coyle (@michellecoyle) who sent out a video “Open Letter” directed to J.J. Abrams, Damon Lindelof, Bryan Burk, Kurtzman and Orci, and the team at Bad Robot. Her objective? To be cast in JJ Abram’s next ‘Star Trek’ movie or any other projects in development in film and television. Seems like great timing considering Abrams has confirmed that the new script for ‘Star Trek 2′ is indeed finished. After checking out the video, I have to say that there seems to be hint of desperation from Michelle to be in anything that Abrams is working on. Either shes a huge fan girl of Abram’s work or… shes looking for a different option because her open letter to Ronald D. Moore to be cast in ‘Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome’ didn’t pan out the way she expected. All I can say is I am impressed by your determination and I wish you all the luck. Somebody “pity cast” her in something already…

A new face has officially joined the star studded cast of ‘The Dark Knight Rises’. Earlier this week, rumors surfaced that actress Juno Temple (Kaboom, The Three Musketeers) will be joining TDKR. Well, now its confirmed and the web is rampant with rumors regarding who she will play. Described as “a street smart Gotham-girl”, the first name to pop up was Stephanie Brown. Stephanie Brown has been known in the Batman universe under many alias such as Spoiler, Batgirl (III), and even Robin (IV). This was a bit harder to swallow as it doesn’t seem that Christopher Nolan has any plans in adding a sidekick when hes trying to wrap up his Batman story. One likely role may be Holly Robinson. Introduced in Batman #404 during Frank Miller’s Batman: Year One story arc, Holly was an ex-prostitute who becomes a loyal ally and sidekick to Selina Kyle AKA Catwoman. Even at one point, Holly is groomed to take up the mantle of Catwoman from Selina Kyle. That would be an interesting pairing with Anne Hathaway on screen. Considering all these speculations, the only common factor is that all three are blonde and that really doesn’t hold up. Until the official news is announced (for both Temple and Joseph Gordon-Levitt), we can only keep ourselves entertained with what ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ can be like. Unfortunately, only Christopher Nolan knows.
I feel like I really dropped the ball when I didn’t know about CollegeHumor’s original web series, ‘Troopers’ until last night. Troopers follows the tale of two “Stormtrooper-like” soldiers and their life on a “Death Star-like” space station in a “Star Wars-like” universe. Get it? Unfortunately, you don’t have to be too bright to work to be a Trooper. The job of holding and interrogating a Princess who is leading the rebellion is left to the same hands that deliver the coffee and pastries in the morning. Troopers almost reminds me of the hilarious back and forth banter that we came to enjoy from ‘Red Vs Blue’ from Rooster Teeth. What makes this series even better is that the loveable and witty Aubrey Plaza (Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World, Parks and Recreations) stars in the series as the Princess. So far, there has been four episode released by CollegeHumor titled, “Forcefield”, “Mind Trick”, “Coffee Run”, and “Interrogation”. If you are a die-hard ‘Star Wars’ fan, you will definitely find some enjoyment from this series.

‘Fringe’ fans can breathe a little easier tonight knowing that their favorite show is coming back for season four. The news was announced on Twitter by executive producer J.H. Wyman (@JWFRINGE) who tweeted, “Fringe was picked up!!! Thanks Fringedom!”. The fan and critic favorite sci-fi series who has been a ratings loser (last week’s episode scored a series low 3.85 million viewers) of lates and many have been scared whether the series will be cancelled at the end of this season. With so many questions unanswered, it was a dreadful thought to think it wasn’t. I guess it was a nice surprise that Fringe was picked up for a full season of 22 episodes. That is amazing considering even though Fringe was sent out to Friday nights to die, the series is number one among adults 18-49. That is saying something considering most entertainment sites has put the “mark of death” on this series. Thanks to the amazing fans and support from the brass at Fox, Fringe sees to fight another day. HUZZAH!
