How have you guys been coping with the Frankenstorm this week? Luckily for me I didn't lose power and I've been curled up playing Skyrim. I didn't even have to put pants on! This week in Nerd News:

-Code Red! I repeat, Code Red! This past Tuesday Disney bought out LucasFilm LTD and the Internet basically imploded into itself. Do you know what this means? Princess Leia is now a Disney Princess! That's not the only bad news: Star Wars VII is slated for release in 2015!  Help us, Joss Whedon, you're our only hope...

-Remember a few weeks ago when I said that G4 was scheduled for a makeover? Well, the end is near: Attack of the Show and X-Play have officially been canceled. I hate to say it, but once Adam Sessler and Kevin Pereira left, I knew it was only a matter of time. Both of the shows will continue to air until the end of the year. R.I.P. AOTS and X-Play. We will always remember you.

-Wreck-It Ralph is finally out today! I've been so excited to see this moving and see all of my favorite video game characters in one movie. Who else is going to see it? Let me know in the comments.

It's another TVgasm Tuesday (Thursday) (sorry, guys-- hurricanes are crazy things), and I'm fighting through no power, or water, or will to live to bring TV news to you guys. It was dark times (PUNS!) for a while, there. No power meant I had to read books and eat kind of melty ice cream and pretend I was Emily Dickinson. However, now I have internet so I'm dealing with staying inside for days in the following ways: 1) watching Dance Moms online, 2) tweeting (about food mostly) 3) reading up on entertainment news. Let's see what TVgasm has to get us (me) through the aftermath of this hurricane.

This Week:

Royalty isn't any different from us mortals (except Kate Middleton who may or may not be a deity); they love celeb gossip too! Watch TVgasm's new cartoon "Gossip Queens" to hear a couple Queens dish about some crazy famous people.

So last week I wrote about the wedding of celebrity couple "TimberBiel" (still hate the name), but is there trouble in their weirdly named celebrity paradise? Click to find out!

When I think Disney, the first thing I think of is outer space, obviously, and the second thing I think is lightsabers. What? That's just me? Yeah that's what I figured. Click to read about Disney's new Star Wars movies!

Remember: If you don't have power for a while, it can sometimes help to dress up in 19th century dress and pretend you are a female poet. Don't knock it 'til you try it.

Today is Jim Henson's birthday, the visionary puppeteer who has given joy to millions of people both young and old through The Muppets, which he created, and his work on projects as diverse as Sesame Street and Star Wars.  In honor of a man who will always be sorely missed, we present the creation of Oscar the Grouch, as envisioned by Jon Friedman and some pretty groovy puppeteering by the fine folks of "Co-op of the Damned".  Enjoy!

It's TVgasm Tuesday again Wednesday (*Ed. note: Uh, sorry about that.), and I already know what you're gonna say. You're going to try to tell me that the biggest story this week was the presidential debate. Yeah, I know Romney is trying to hunt down Big Bird, and there was a lot of interrupting going on, but I think the biggest political news this week is Bristol Palin riding the struggle bus on Dancing With The Stars. She's a Palin, it still counts as politics. Nailed it. Let's see what else TVgasm has for us...

This week:

ABC has ordered a new reality show called "Celebrity Splash", based on a Dutch show where I guess celebrities jump into large bodies of water. I watched a preview of the Dutch version, and it reminds me of this club I went to once, where they tried to sell me a $15 shot of leather flavored vodka, and everyone was wearing white fur pants. It was a weird night. Go watch.

Have you heard about The Nikki-Mariah feud? No?! Ugh, you need to stop watching presidential debates, and get up to date on your celebrity gossip. It's your duty as an American citizen to find out what went down, why Nikki and her ass (two separate entities right? Like, legally?) are so enraged, and debate what Nikki should do in this week's Dear TVgasm. 

Project Runway's new All-Star season is coming up, and I think we all need a refresher of "who's who" in the cast. Luckily TVgasm made a redub of the season preview that pretty much sums everything up. Click to watch!

Remember: If you're at a party and everyone is wearing white fur pants, you are most likely at a Russian drug lord's bachelor party, and you need to get out of there STAT.

Jesse Camp exploded into the public consciousness in 1998 when he won MTV's Wanna Be a VJ contest and started appearing on TRL, eventually even garnering his own show called Lunch With Jesse. The lovable waif was known for his freewheeling, positive attitude and outrageous attire that looked like a mix between Joey Ramone, Steven Tyler and a drag queen. What has been been doing since his heyday on MTV?

Camp tried to parlay his newfound fame into a rock career by cutting an album under the name Jesse & The 8th Street Kidz. The effort was met with less than laudatory reviews from critics and currently holds the 339,190th spot on the Amazon sales charts.

After his career as a rock star didn't pan out, Camp headed to Hollywood. He dabbled in acting and even had a walk-on role in the 2002 Britney Spears film Crossroads. After that he reportedly held down oddball jobs like being a clerk at a Feed & Supply company and a telemarketer for a liberal non-profit organization. In an interview with LA Weekly he says he's currently making movies with his sister in Los Angeles and said, "As long as you have a vision, that will create enough positive energy within you to keep going".

Keep rocking, Jesse.

Yours truly,
Dean

Last week at VidCon, Mark Malkoff announced his newest project: The Bill Murray Show Starring Mark Malkoff.

Starting in August, Mark will host a weekly show featuring friends, fans and acquaintances of Bill Murray, as part of a quest to get Bill Murray himself to visit Mark and his wife for dinner at their Queens apartment.

Mark kicked off the project by having the VidCon audience call Bill Murray's phone number to say "Hi Bill!"
