While I was working...

I never thought about being isolated until yesterday when I got off of work at 7 p.m. and was sitting at my computer at home reading through a bunch of breaking entertainment news.

And then today, a good half hour.

This isn't even counting the Leno and "American Idol" news Stephanie was blogging about yesterday.

I decided to do a quick run through of all the news that broke while I was at work for the past few days:

1. "Spiderman 4" no more. Yesterday it was reported by many sources that Sony was going to reboot the "Spiderman" films to Peter Parker back in high school because of creative differences with "Spiderman 4." So, no more Sam Raimi, Tobey Maguire or whoever. If this saves us from Anne Hathaway as Vulturess, then whatever is fine with me. Whoever wrote the script and stood by the script deserves not to have a job then.

2. The Writer's Guild of America announced its nominees and "Star Trek" is nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay. First the Producer's Guild, now this! Those Oscars chances are really starting to improve now. Also got a nomination for the National Editors awards.

3. Stuart Townsend off "Thor" due to creative differences. I love when people have "creative differences" with pre-existing characters that have been around for decades.

4. DC Comics announced a new weekly series set to debut after "Blackest Night" called "Brightest Day." And the image with the press release looks a lot like a White Lantern ring to me! Spoiler alert maybe?

5. Deadline.com has a great story about Conan O'Brien fighting back against NBC, great read: http://www.deadline.com/hollywood/conan-obrien-resigning-tonight-show/

6. Peter Sarsgaard apparently is getting paid really well to go back on his word. Movieline is reporting that he's up for the secondary villain role in "Green Lantern" as Hector Hammond.

7. Armond White vs. Keith Olbermann? Guess which side I'm on.

Whew, OK, enough Internet for now. Back to normal life for a while.
