E3 2008: Live from the EA Media Briefing
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Action, Adventure, Casual, Corporate News, Downloadable Content, Electronic Arts, First Person Shooters, PlayStation 3, Portable/Mobile, Release Dates, Survival Horror, Wii, Xbox 360, Xbox Live Marketplace,
We are seated for the Electronic Arts E3 2008 Media Briefing. We start the conference off right, with a montage of a ton of upcoming EA titles, focusing on some new sports titles, upcoming Sims releases, and a bunch of casual games like Monopoly, Boogie, and Operation (aw yeah!) Of course, Spore is also featured here as well.
John Riccitiello hits the stage to talk about what EA has this afternoon to show us, and he says they won’t be doing PowerPoint, statistics, or sales figures. Instead, they are going to focus on the games, and we will be hearing from the people that make the games.
Rod Humble of The Sims Studio comes out to talk about The Sims. He announces Sim Animals. in this game you create groups of animals and their friends, habitat, etc. Some animals are friendly like deer and rabbits, while wolves and bears can stir up trouble. We then get a trailer. We get a baby cub bear interacting with a squirrel, and then a fox joins the fray. It seems that you basically control the game by using the world as your UI, you have a hand similar to Black and White. Will be exclusive to Wii and Nintendo DS in January 2009.

Feist Performs 1234 on Sesame Street
Okay - this was just too cute not pass on.
If you don’t have a reason to watch Sesame Street on a regular basis, you can have your brief moment of childish fun here. For the show’s upcoming premiere, Feist has put together a special version of its song ‘1234.’
Warning: If you’ve worked hard to get that iPod commercial out of your head, this may not be the best clip for you to watch.
Sesame Street‘s 39th season begins on August 11.
More Reasons Why Regis Philbin Should Retire
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, ABC, Syndication, Editorial, Video,
A few months ago, I listed 8 reasons why I thought Regis Philbin should start making his retirement plans. Now I would like to add a #9 and #10.
#9. Back in May, the talk show host was talking about the recent American Idol finale when he said, “What happened to the past winners? Where are they today?” When told by co-host Kelly Ripa that they come on their show “all the time,” Regis responded, “Really? I haven’t noticed.”
#10. Philbin, who actually went to the premiere of The Dark Knight yesterday evening, sadly referenced Heath Ledger as ‘Keith Ledger’. (You can see that clip from today’s show below.)

At least she can say she made it to the finals…
After narrowly beating out Comfort last week for a spot in the Top Ten, So You Think You Can Dance‘s Jessica King is having to give up her spot to Comfort.
Producer/judge Nigel Lythgoe told reporters today that an unfortunate injury has sidelined the redhead for approximately four to five weeks. This means Comfort Fedoke will get at least one more chance to demonstrate her obvious lack of training.
More details on Jessica’s injury will be revealed on this week’s episode. In the meantime, you can review Jessica’s last contemporary piece with Will after the jump:

Madonna’s Brother Dishes the Dirt
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Sports, Rumors,
Last week, we told you how Madonna’s brother was attempting to capitalize on the singer’s fame. Now Christopher Ciccone has officially started blabbing about his new tell-all, Life with My Sister Madonna, on the airwaves.
In the first part of his Good Morning America‘s interview, Ciccone nicely defends his older sis on the Alex Rodriguez allegations but then accuses her of using kabbalah to “validate” some of her own bad behavior. He also goes on to label Guy Ritchie a homophobe and blames the director for splitting the siblings apart.

Criss Angel Performs Live on A&E
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Specials, Cable, Video,
As David Blaine has proven over and over again, there’s nothing audiences love more than a live stunt.
Later this month, A&E’s Criss Angel will perform his own death-defying trick before a live television audience. In the one-hour event, Angel will be chained inside a 6-story office building that is set to implode. His goal is to reach the roof where an awaiting helicopter will take him to safety. Will the illusionist ever be able to walk around shirtless again? Oh the nail-biting drama!
That upcoming spectacle will be just a small part of Criss Angel: Mindfreak‘s fourth season. In total, the series will air 15 new episodes and 3 one-hour specials in this next round.
Mindfreak debuts July 23 @ 10pm. See a sneak preview of what’s to come after the jump.

A look at Friend Book for iPhone from Tapulous
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Handhelds, Software, Videos,
See, it’s things like this that get me super excited for the App Store. The app is called Friend Book, and it takes the iPhone contact list and adds a bunch of fantastic features. You get thumbnail images for contacts that you have pictures of, an alternate view that allows you to tap on a face to dial. However, what I love is the Handshake feature. Using the built-in GPS, it determines if two iPhones are in the same place running the apps trade function. If they are, and both phones shake, information is traded. How cool is that? This is going to be one of the first apps that I download as soon as I am running iPhone 2.0 software.

The A&E program airs Sunday nights @ 10.

Drew Barrymore: Another Relationship in the Toilet
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Break-ups, Videos,
Now I realized this was going to happen some day, I just didn’t think it was going to happen so soon….
Back in February, I predicted Drew Barrymore’s seemingly perfect relationship with her most recent boyfriend would eventually crash and burn. Why? Because she made the mistake of going public with it. And now, after about a year of dating, Drew and Justin Long are already over.
Earlier this year in an interview with Vogue, the actress got all gushy when the subject of Justin came up. “My cheeks hurt, I’m so happy.” Then in March, Barrymore brought her beau to the set of Oprah when she was there for a guest appearance. Although Drew was scheduled to talk about her charity work, her new romance (of course) became part of the conversation. (You can see that clip after the jump.)
