You know who are awesome? Old people are awesome. Especially old, brilliant, prolific artists who don’t give a damn what inside information they drop in public — or how they drop it. Take Ray Bradbury, the legendary 89-year-old author whose Fahrenheit 451 film rights belong to...Mel Gibson. Awkward! And of course Bradbury has a funny (if brief) story about it, which he recently shared via Skype with a crowd in Chicago.

The interview comes from Sunday’s Siskel Center screening of Francois Truffaut’s 1966 Fahrenheit adaptation. Bradbury knows as well as the rest of us that we’ll never see Gibson’s version in his or probably any of our lifetimes, and his pragmatic status report might honestly be the most palatable fallout to date from the whole Gibson/Grigorieva horror show. Thanks for keeping it real, Ray.

If you're like me, your Fourth of July was marred by the fact that there was no new True Blood to savor. The show returns Sunday night with the fourth episode of season 3, "9 Crimes," and the preview offers some excitement, mostly surrounding a steaming hot Sookie-Eric kiss.

First, here's the official description of the episode:

"Sookie joins Alcide at a raucous engagement party for his former fiancee, Debbie Pelt; Eric is given a deadline to locate Bill; Andy gets a promotion and draws Jason's attention; Franklin takes Tara on a road trip; Arlene is irked by Jessica's arrival at Merlotte's; Sam brokers a deal with Tommy and his parents; Bill "procures" dinner for Russell and Lorena."

A werewolf engagement party could be cool as does the comedic potential of Jessica and Arlene interacting. Check out the video preview:

Ep. 28: 9 Crimes - Preview

Here are my first thoughts:

Something tells me Sookie won't accept Bill telling her to stop looking for him, and I'm equally suspicious of her seduction of Eric. Unlike most fans, Sookie doesn't seem to realize how much better Eric is than Bill.

It looks like Jason will blackmail Andy to become a cop. That's usually not a good start for a career.

Why can't Tara find a decent man? She was hung up on Jason, she got it on with Sam even though she knew he had feelings for Sookie, then she started dating Maryann's puppet Eggs, now she's being taken on a wild ride with a vampire? Poor girl.

I'm most excited for the werewolf engagement party. We've spent two years getting to understand the vampire culture and yet we know nothing about the were community, so this could help flesh it out.

What are you most excited about for this episode of True Blood?

What do you think of the new teaser trailer for 'The Social Network'? I'm still wondering how they're going to make a full movie about the creation of Facebook!

This trailer includes the new Spider-Man, Andrew Garfield (who I think we'll be seeing a lot more of :)

Are you interested in this movie?

Lindsay Lohan is reportedly angling for $1 million for her first post-jail interview, and going to prison could end up boosting sales of her clothing line, too. "Financially, it's the best thing that could have ever happened to Lindsay."

Lately, Lindsay's main sources of income have been paid appearances and tweeting for cash, which pay no more than a few thousand a pop. But jailhouse confessions? Those are really worth something. Paris Hilton was reportedly offered $1 million for hers. (But ultimately gave it away for free to Larry King.) Popeater's Rob Shuter reports,

"Expect to see a major TV and magazine deal," a source close to Lindsay tells me. "Lindsay might have made a lot of mistakes, but she knows how much her first interview is worth. She won't even consider offers of less than $1 million."

Of course, they won't literally be paying for the interview—as is de rigueur for American checkbook journalism, she will technically be paid for some sort of primary material (video confessionals?) so the interview can remain "unpaid."

Meanwhile, Women's Wear Daily's Marcy Medina reports that retailers are stocking up on apparel from Lindsay's 6126 leggings line.

"Lindsay has mind share right now, so people will be interested to see what the merchandise looks like," said Jeff Vansinderen, a senior retail analyst at B. Riley & Co. "Times are tough right now in the retail environment and if I'm a retailer, I'm going to put the merchandise out there and try to sell it."

"This is a hard incident, and we don't know how the consumer is going to react," said Fraser Ross, owner of Kitson stores, who ordered about $15,000 worth of 6126 apparel for this month. He acknowledged that Lohan could get out of jail in as few as 23 days "as the clothes are hitting stores and there will be interest in her."

Once she has all her post-prison money, LiLo can blow it all on a massive coke bender, go to jail for that, give more interviews and reap more profits, and—whoops! Looks like we've fallen into a vortex of infinite regression, degradation, and debauchery. This process is also known as "show business."

Looking completely exhausted after a Toronto to Los Angeles flight, Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth were spotted at LAX on Monday (June 21).

The “Party in the USA” singer unexcitedly signed one autograph and was clearly not her usual self as she and her “Last Song” beau and mother Tish made their way through the terminal amongst the media frenzy.

It looks like we're going to be getting two times the Franco on the day he makes his return appearance to Port Charles. On Wednesday, June 30th, you can catch James Franco making his first-ever appearance on The View. Then, catch him on General Hospital as murderous artist Franco returns and Jason and Dante have to form an uneasy alliance to take him down.

The ladies of The View will have no shortage of discussion topics with James. In addition to his work on General Hospital, James is appearing in the upcoming films Eat Pray Love with Julia Roberts and the indie drama Howl.

But of highest importance is what James has to say about GH and the wild ride Franco is taking Port Charles on this summer. What kind of dish are you looking forward to from him?
