Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide 2012

I don’t know how he does it, but somehow editor J.C. Vaughn is able to assemble his team each year and whip together a new edition of The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide. This year it’s #42 (!) and it’s just as big and wonderful as ever. This year’s version is available with three different covers: Joe Jusko, Adam Hughes, and (my favorite) Matt Wagner. Just beautiful-looking stuff.
As always, in addition to the latest go-to prices for comics new and old (and really old, like the 16th Century), the Guide has a ton of great articles on comics history, plus market reports from their advisers, the Overstreet Hall of Fame, and even a new look at one of the best graphic novels ever, Batman: Son Of The Demon.
For me, I love the articles, but I also like flipping through the pages and looking at covers of old comics to see how they've changed over the years. I get a real kick out of all the funny (and strange) titles and the trivia (artist appearances and character first appearances and stuff like that). It's like an annual history book of comics and in each volume I always find good stuff that makes it a worthwhile purchase.

Billy Corgan Blasts Radiohead
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Alternative, Rock,
Billy Corgan has lashed out at Radiohead.
The Smashing Pumpkins frontman has blasted the Oxford band as "pompous" and says he is horrified that some people think Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood is more valuable than Deep Purple's Ritchie Blackmore.
"I can't think of any people outside of Weird Al Yankovic who have both embraced and p****d on rock more than I have. Obviously there's a level of reverence, but there's also a level of intelligence to even know what to p**s on. Because I'm not p***ing on Rainbow. I'm not p***ing on Deep Purple. But I'll p**s on f*****g Radiohead, because of all this pomposity. This value system that says Jonny Greenwood is more valuable than Ritchie Blackmore. Not in the world I grew up in."

No More Kids For Tom Cruise
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Celebrity Babies, Features,
Tom Cruise doesn't want any more kids.
The 49-year-old actor has children Suri, six with wife Katie Holmes and Connor, 17 and Isabella, 19, with former spouse Nicole Kidman but has no plans to add to his brood because he has such a good relationship with all three kids.
"I'm so happy with three. I'm enjoying every second with Suri that I have. And I'm enjoying the relationship with my older kids, and the way it is right now," he said.
While Tom loves spending time with his children, he also recently gushed about his Katie, whom he married in November 2006, saying she makes him feel better just by walking in to a room:
"She is an extraordinary person, and if you spent five minutes with her, you'd see it. Everything she does, she does with this beautiful creativity. She has a voice and warmth as an artist, as a mother. She's funny and charming, and when she walks into the room, I just feel better. I'm a romantic. I like doing things like creating romantic dinners, and she enjoys that. I don't know what to say - I'm just happy, and I have been since the moment I met her. What we have is very special."

Chris Brown has sustained a bloody gash on his chin after an alleged altercation with Drake's entourage.
The "Yeah 3x" hitmaker was reportedly hit by a bottle when his associates clashed with the rapper's friends in a New York nightclub WIP last night, resulting in an altercation which left five people injured.
Chris and Drake have been involved in a long-running feud over Drake's alliance with Rihanna, and unconfirmed reports revealed the "Run It" hitmaker sent a bottle of champagne to his rival's table as a peace offering but it was returned with a note reading, "I'm f***ing the love of your life, deal with it."

.)
The 28-year-old actor - who plays Peter Parker and his superhero alter-ego in the movie reboot - admitted he had difficulties getting in and out of the costume which caused him some problems on set, especially when he needed to use the restroom.
"It's like you have to body-shoehorn yourself out of it. It looks good, but they didn't really consider that, the whole bodily-functions thing. But next time we will remember that I am human. We're going to make it easier for me to p**s. That's number one," he told MTV.
Andrew also revealed he had trouble seeing out of the crusader's mask which caused problems for him while filming stunts. Speaking about the mask, he said, "That was tough as well, but I don't think we can readjust that because the eyes have to be the eyes. That was hard, visibility was hard, especially for the bigger stunts because you need to know what you're doing."
The Amazing Spider-Man is set for release in July.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Drama, Reality, Specials, Talk Shows, Cable, Oprah Winfrey Show, Features, Gossip, Internet,
An interview by the media mogul with the entire Kardashian clan television stars is due to air on Sunday on her network OWN.
Oprah has revealed that the 31-year-old's split from the basketball player in October will be addressed in the program, Oprah's Next Chapter. "Everyone who's asked was the marriage a publicity stunt? Why did she leave after 72 days? Her answer leveled me," she wrote on her Facebook page.
Oprah hinted more about what will feature in the one-hour chat: "I genuinely wanted to know why they have become a cultural phenomenon, why so many people love to watch their every move and why so many others love to hate them. Are they completely ego centered? Are they really 'famous for being famous' or is there something more?"

Kris Humphries’ Ex Could Help Kim in Divorce Battle
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Sports, Television, Divorce, Legal Issues, Rumors,
The athlete is currently involved in a battle divorce battle with the reality TV star and now his former flame Myla Sinanaj is threatening to hand over vital information to Kim.
"My client isn't going to rule anything out at this point including whether or not she would be willing to assist Kim Kardashian in her divorce case. I will say this, Kris Humphries has to be the only 7ft man in the universe to have two women under 6ft tall bully, defraud and attempt to extort him. It's absolutely ridiculous," Myla's attorney, and former prosecutor, Joe Tacopina, told RadarOnline.com.
Earlier this week, Myla demanded Kris apologize for trying to destroy her reputation. Tacopina suggested the NBA player had gone on a campaign of destruction against her to make himself look better in his divorce court battle. It recently emerged that Kris' lawyers had contacted the FBI, claiming Myla tried to extort him by demanding a huge sum of money or she would spill secrets about their relationship to the media.
