And if any brand can get it right it'll be CoverGirl because the makeup artists on the set of Hunger Games used the brand on the cast to create those AH-Mazing looks.

Guess the 4/20-oriented coffee shop dreams will have to stay located in Amsterdam for now!

If you don't recall, Dr. McDreamy originally said:

"Coffee is good for your mind—it's basically a legalized drug. The next step is selling marijuana, of course. There's a business model there. You could present it in a beautiful, elegant way: a Michelin-starred coffee shop where you can get marijuana."

However, he now would like to clarify that:

Set your phasers to BANK!

Star Trek Into Darkness is set to knock Robert Downey Jr.'s iron butt out of the top spot in the box office this weekend!

Judging by pre-sales & a super-strong Wednesday and Thursday opening, studio shaman's expect the sci-fi sequel to break $100 mil in its opening weekend!!!

$100,000,000!?!?

Whoa! Somebody needs to beam J.J. Abrams up a congratulatory bottle of champagne!!

Sacramento Kings fans rejoice! It looks like your beloved basketball team is here to stay!

Adrienne Maloof's family, who owns the NBA franchise, had fans wondering whether or not they would be shipping the team to Seattle due to declining interest in the area. But Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson announced this afternoon that

Holy shaken-not-stirred martinis, batman — our souls are smiling!!!

Barbara Broccoli and Michael G .Wilson, the execs in charge of the James Bond franchise, approached Christopher Nolan about directing the next 007 flick!!

That. Would. Be. Double-Oh-AMAZEBALLZ!!!

Don't get us wrong, Sam Mendes did a fantastic job on Skyfall — especially with his inclusion of Adele — but this could be EPIC!!!
