Discovery Channel Stores is projecting that it will shutter all its stores by October

Speed Racer Movie Spoiler
(That old Tatsunoko designed car comes to life.)
Variety has probably given away what should have been a twist in Warner Bros' upcoming adaptation of Speed Racer. Below is both the non-spoiler and spoiler version of the casting update.
Speed Racer Picks Up Scott Porter
Scott Porter -- who you may know from Friday Night Lights, Ugly Betty or Descent -- has been picked up by Warner Bros. to play Rex, Speed Racer's older brother in (you guessed it) Speed Racer.
That basically sums up the update. So, for those of you looking for a little extra with a huge spoiler, check out the report in its entirety (highlight empty space below to read):
Porter will play Rex, the older brother to Speed Racer who fakes his death and returns as Racer X.

The Joker Will See You in December!The new image of Heath Ledger as The Joker in The Dark Knight has now been removed fromIBelieveinHarveyDentToo.com. It's been replaced with red text that gives the error, "Page not found." If you highlight the entire page, however, you'll see a ton of Ha Ha Ha's with some letters here and there that don't belong. String those letters together and what do you get? - "See you in December."

Chicago radio D.J. (Electra: Queen of Snark) plays White Stripes new album before June 19th release date and gets a call from Mr. White personally from Spain to Reprimand her.

At 2pm today, during my show, Q101 became the first station in the world to play the new White Stripes album, Icky Thump. It's awesome. It's really, really, unbelievably brilliant and awesome. I was giddy and excited to share it with fellow fans.
At 4pm today, Jack White called Q101's main offices from Spain, where they're touring, looking specifically for me, to yell at me for leaking the album and, in part, being "messed up for the entire (music) business." (Edit - I listened to the call again today, and I apologize for initially misquoting Jack.) I felt like I was going to throw up. Weirdest, most surreal conversation of my life.

Mister Rogers made Thieves Think Twice.
According to a TV Guide piece on him, Fred Rogers drove a plain old Impala for years. One day, however, the car was stolen from the street near the TV station. When Rogers filed a police report, the story was picked up by every newspaper, radio and media outlet around town. Amazingly, within 48 hours the car was left in the exact spot where it was taken from, with an apology on the dashboard. It read, “If we’d known it was yours, we never would have taken it.”
