Chad Ochocinco Reverting Back To Johnson

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:25:38 -0700

The change is coming because Ochocinco �doesn�t want his wife to have a made-up last name.� If all goes according to plan, Ochocinco will again be known as Chad Johnson, which is certainly more of a boring last name, but one that is better than a name that simply means two different numbers in Spanish. Fingers crossed Ochocinco will actually get around to making the change this time.

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:09:43 -0700

Macaulay Culkin has never been the fat kid.

Legion Heading To Syfy As A TV Series

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 13:49:42 -0700

Stewart is developing a television series based on 2010�s Legion for Syfy. The original film follows a group of customers and employees at a diner who are joined by a rogue angel, played by Paul Bettany, to battle an army sent by God. There is a whole lot of death and philosophical conversation involved in the film, and I think both could find their place on Syfy.

Is John Stamos returning to TV in a starring role? Have mercy!
