Obama 'monster' aide quits
A senior foreign policy adviser to Barack Obama was forced to apologize Thursday night for describing Hillary Clinton as a "monster" during an interview with a Scottish newspaper, a major embarrassment to the Illinois senator who promised voters he wouldn't engage in the politics of personal destruction.
During an interview with The Scotsman, Samantha Power, one of Obama's unpaid advisers, said Clinton would stop at nothing in her zeal to seize the lead from Obama.
The adviser resigned yesterday. The comment threatened to be an embarrassment for Obama, who has criticized Clinton for what he called her negative campaign tactics and has stressed his commitment to rising above political bickering.

Lizzy, Puh-Leeze Don't Shave Your Head...
Okay, so a couple of days ago we asked Lizzy Caplan how she'd feel if all of the sudden everyone recognizes her and the paparazzi start stalking her after "Cloverfield" comes out. The above video contains her answer.
Now...here's what I have to say about her answer:
a) Yeah, yeah, yeah. She does sound humble in the way a publicist would teach her to sound humble, but at the same time I totally believe that she isn't really interested in her life being like that.
b) There's NO way only 2 people have ever recognized her. She starred in "The Class" and "Related" and had really memorable parts in "Mean Girls" (Janice) and "Freaks & Geeks" (the disco girl). So, if this is true, she's either great at making herself unnoticeable or making other people feel like it wouldn't be cool of them to accost her with "you're that girl from (insert something from above here)!"
c) I predict she'll be in the top 10 on IMDB by Monday...but I hope she doesn't get stalked by the press.
What do you think? Okay, so a couple of days ago we asked Lizzy Caplan how she'd feel if all of the sudden everyone recognizes her and the paparazzi star... more -

"Cloverfield's" Lizzy Caplan & Slusho
There's been a whole lotta buzz about "Cloverfield"
http://current.com/topics/76014742_cloverfield
since just before "Transformers" came out.
http://current.com/topics/32970743_transformers
First, it was a trailer with no movie title.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=IvNkGm8mxiM
Then it was the Bad Robot folks constantly switching the movie title.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Robot_Productions
Then six actors showed up on the movie's IMDB page.
http://imdb.com/title/tt1060277
Then six MySpace pages for their characters showed up.
Marlena - http://www.myspace.com/marlenadiamond
Lily - http://www.myspace.com/lily_ford
Hud - http://www.myspace.com/hudsonplatt
Rob - http://www.myspace.com/robbyhawkins
Jason - http://www.myspace.com/jj_hawkins
Beth - http://www.myspace.com/beth_mcintyre
Then sometime between Slusho showing up in "Alias"
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3jmzl_alias-saison-1-...
and Slusho showing up in "Heroes"
http://www.slashfilm.com/2007/11/20/cloverfield-slusho-...
a Slusho website
http://slusho.jp
and Slusho commercial showed up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBee1TuUSJE&feature=...
Then one of the main characters, Rob Hawkins, announces on his MySpace blog that he's been given a job at Slusho...Hence the going away party that happens in the movie on 1.18.08.
http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfmfuseaction=blog.view&a...
(We also see his "brother" wearing a Slusho t-shirt in the "Cloverfield" clips.)
THEN somehow it "leaks out" that Slusho's parent company is called "Tagruato"
http://tagruato.jp
and their main business does deep sea drilling - in areas previously unexplored by man.
http://tagruato.jp/deepsea.php
AND if you click on the map that shows where they're doing this deep sea drilling
http://tagruato.jp/deepsea2.php
and click the nearest point to NYC, it just happens to be the newest deep-sea station that's about to begin drilling.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Maybe someone woke up a big angry monster that lives beneath the sea...and it surfaces and goes towards the lights...of NYC. There's been a whole lotta buzz about "Cloverfield" http://current.com/topics/76014742_cloverfield ... more -

Here be monsters!
If you went to see Transformers, then you should have seen the teaser. Not much is known about the project, except that it is being made by J.J. Abrams, the man who brought you Alias and Lost, and that sh*t definitely hits the fan.
Cloverfield is just the codename for the movie, or is it. We don't know.
I hope it's a Cthulu/Lovecraft movie. If you went to see Transformers, then you should have seen the teaser. Not much is known about the project, except that it is being ma... more -
