Someone spent a loooooooot of time building a near exact replica of the DeLorean from Back to the Future and now they're hawking it on eBay for you, or someone with more money than you, to purchase. I actually saw this very DeLorean at a car show in Culver City, CA this past Summer, and I have to say it's a pretty amazing contraption. The only downside is it doesn't come equipped with a flux capacitor, arguably the coolest part of the DeLorean in the film, and the interior smells like the remains of Christopher Lloyd's career. That stuff's like cigarette smoke, it just doesn't come out.
So far there's been one bid on Doc's DeLorean and it's currently at $59,000.00 with the reserve price unmet. If you choose, you can also purchase the car at the current "Buy It Now" price of $89,000.00.
Check out all the stats at the eBay page and see a few more pics of the souped-up DeLorean after the jump.

Considering it is New Years Eve/New Years Day depending on where you are in the world, I thought I would ask the question - Is there a moment in history or in your own life that you would like to go back in time for? Would you change that moment?

Defeat it. If you can't defeat it, repeal it. If you can't repeal it, blanket it with lawsuits. These tried and true political tactics are being taken up anew by Republicans fighting the health care overhaul effort in Congress, and will make for a dizzying January. But Democrats are already fighting back before that famous ball drops in Times Square.
Democratic fundraisers say they are using GOP threats against the health bill to their advantage to rake in more dollars via fundraising letters sent out last week.
Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry's New Media Director Brian Young tells Talking Points Memo that people receiving those letters have been 30 to 40 percent more likely to donate on the basis of the repeal threat than in other drives this year./( Read more... )

NBC plans to bring back “Law & Order” next season, making the show the longest-running drama in TV history, [Angela Bromstad, NBC President of Primetime Programming] said.
“I’m a ‘Law & Order’ junkie,” Bromstad said. “I wouldn’t want to be responsible for not having ‘Law & Order’ break the record.” via BusinessWeek. Twitter hat tip to @clue_bat for the heads up. I’d been skeptical of renewal early this season based on L&O’s dreadful ratings, but they’d picked up recently to the “acceptable for Friday” levels of 1.5-1.7 for adults 18-49 suggesting another season on NBC was possible. TV by the NumbersTold you so.

I know some of you might be tired with these "lists", but given Ebert's status as a film critic, I thought his picks for the decade's best would be interesting at the very least. And no, this wasn't posted yet.

In a lawsuit that arguably defies the very fabric of Playboy, a woman who was fired by Playboy Enterprises claims Hugh Hefner prefers younger women.

Jennifer Lewis, a former Guest Relations Coordinator for the Playboy Mansion, claims she was fired after she turned 47 and replaced by a 33-year-old woman. The suit claims Lewis, who is suing Hef as well as other Playboy big wigs, gave the defendants "over ten of the best years of her life."
Lewis claims beginning last year, she was singled out and subjected to a hostile work environment. Lewis claims it got so bad she was placed on anti-depressants.
In the lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Lewis is asking for unspecified damages.
No immediate comment from Playboy.

'Criminal Minds' Spin-Off Pilot Casts Director

The upcoming Criminal Minds spin-off, set to begin production in February, has found itself a director, and no other than the same guy who helmed the original Criminal Minds pilot that aired some four years ago.
Richard Shepard, who directed "Extreme Aggressor" on CBS' Criminal Minds, has signed on to handle the show's spin-off as well, or at least the pilot episode, Variety reports. "The idea of coming back and doing this spinoff was exciting," Shepard said. "I was proud of that show, and I haven't directed a procedural since Criminal Minds. They came to me with this great opportunity."
Shepard, who also has in his belt the Ugly Betty pilot in addition to 30 Rock and In the Motherhood episodes, has signed a deal with CBS to direct two of the network's pilots this season. Aside from the still title-less and cast-less Criminal Minds spin-off, the other one is yet to be determined.
Just like NCIS: Los Angeles, the spin-off pilot will also double as an episode from the mothership. Called a backdoor pilot, the branch-out will center on another group of FBI profiles.
"I'm not ready yet to commit to doing a TV show for five years," he said. "This gives me the freedom to look at projects already in the system and come on with a fresh pair of eyes. So far that's worked out for me... I love doing pilots; they're like mini-movies. You get to help cast a show and set a look to it." So far, four characters need to be cast for the Criminal Minds spin-off - Cooper, the team leader; Gina, an undercover agent; Mick, a firearms specialist; and Prophet, a born-again ex-con.
Reid and I share sentiments on this, but there you go. Any Criminal Minds without Reid sounds like a shitty idea to me.

Twenty-two years after the smash hit Three Men and a Baby, Disney has plans for another sequel. Tom Selleck’s manager confirms to EW that Three Men and a Bride is in the works. Selleck, Ted Danson, and Steve Guttenberg played the three bachelors comically challenged to take care of a little girl in the first two movies. WENN first reported that Guttenberg revealed the project and implied that Selleck and Danson were also on board. (Reps for Danson have not immediately replied to requests for confirmation.) The script is currently still being written but Selleck’s manager confirms that the logline, for those who can’t guess, is essentially: The little girl gets married.

Most people regard watching television as a passive activity. You sit, you watch. Occasionally, you change the channel. But a new study reveals that even this passive diversion may lead to actively damaging effects, particularly when it comes to issues of race. In a series of intricately designed experiments, psychologists at Tufts University demonstrate that subtle racial biases are often expressed by characters on popular television shows, and that viewers not only pick up these attitudes but allow them to shape their own outlooks on race. The most insidious part of this cultural traffic, the researchers found, is that the transmission of race bias appears to occur subconsciously, unbeknownst to the viewer. ( Read more... )source

As the new year is ushered in, it's looking like Susan Boyle will celebrate a sixth straight week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 next week, as industry prognosticators project her "I Dreamed a Dream" album may sell about 150,000 to 165,000 copies by week's end on Sunday (Jan. 3) night.
As we've been reporting, Boyle's "Dream" has been swiftly catching up to Taylor Swift's "Fearless," which is currently the top selling album of 2009. Now, with one week left to go, it's looking like "Dream" may fall just a bit short in the race.
Presently, "Fearless'" 2009 total stands at 3,157,000, while "Dream" is at 2,982,000. ( article w/Gaga's stats too )
