Too sexy
This is Debrahlee Lorenzana, aka the Second Coming of Gina Gershon, and she was "allegedly fired from her job [at Citibank] because she was simply "too distracting for her male colleagues to bear.'" If that's not the dumbest thing you've heard since Joe Biden opened his mouth, and the most homosexual thing you've heard since Jeff wanted to discuss Greg Oden's penis, I don't know what else to tell you.And perhaps Debrahlee is EXACTLY what The Mine needs; there are too many dicks on the dance floor. Properly done, if she has her head on right and can hold her own in a discussion of Sarah Jessica Parker's unattractiveness to most straight males, then we'd have us a cool new co-worker. Just so long as Jeff won't babble incessantly about "pizza" or "toppings," that is...

Classic Bond
Despite any other car James Bond may have driven, this is the only one that really sticks in the head, via Uncrate:We're not sure whether we'd call it the "World's Most Famous Car" — we'd think that might go to something more universal, like the Mirthmobile — we'd still be more than happy to drive around in James Bond's 1964 Aston Martin DB5 ($5 million). Hitting the auction block this October at the Automobiles of London event, this classic sports car is one of only two featured on screen during Goldfinger and Thunderball, complete with Bond's machine guns, a bullet-proof shield, revolving number plates,a removable roof panel, and smoke screen, all controlled via toggles mounted in the arm rest. Chilled bottle of Dom Perignon '53 not included. [Thanks, Stephen]

THUNDERCATS, HO!
WARNER BROS. ANIMATION ANSWERS THE CALL WITH A NEW
TAKE ON THE CLASSIC ANIMATED SERIES “THUNDERCATS,”
TO AIR ON CARTOON NETWORK
(June 3, 2010 – Burbank, CA) – Warner Bros. Animation (WBA) has begun production on “ThunderCats,” an all-new animated series for Cartoon Network, based upon the iconic 1980s action classic. “ThunderCats” is the newest series from WBA, joining “Batman: The Brave and the Bold,” which was recently renewed for a third season, and the following forthcoming programs: “The Looney Tunes Show,” “MAD,” “Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated” and “Young Justice.” The announcement was made today by Sam Register, Executive Vice President, Creative Affairs, Warner Bros. Animation.
“In addition to being Warner Bros. Animation’s first anime series, ‘ThunderCats’ marks our most ambitious foray yet into fantasy,” said Register. “The realism and dynamic visual style we’ve achieved are sure to thrill viewers, and the cool weapons, vehicles and technology should help the show appeal to a diverse audience.”
The 21st century reimagining of the series marks a creative collaboration between WBA and Studio4°C, one of the most vibrant animation studios in Japan, with credits including “The Animatrix,” “Gotham Knights” and “Halo Legends.” WBA is working closely with Studio4°C, utilizing the latter’s expertise to give the “ThunderCats” characters a new cutting-edge look while remaining true to the compelling storylines and mythology of the original series.
“We at Studio4°C are excited to be in this creative partnership with Warner Bros. Animation to bring ‘ThunderCats’ to life,” said Eiko Tanaka, President and CEO, Studio4°C. “This collaboration combines the strengths of our two companies – high production values and great storytelling – toward reintroducing this classic fan-favorite to a new audience.”
Roaring to life through WBA and Studio4°C’s use of the Japanese animated artistry of anime, “ThunderCats” characters Lion-O, Mumm-Ra, Panthro, Cheetara and others will spring off the screen with realistic cat-like characteristics inconceivable in previous incarnations.
The new “ThunderCats” will appeal to viewers who have loved the characters all their lives as well as young newcomers to the franchise. A sweeping tale combining swords and science and boasting ferocious battles with the highest of stakes, the grand origin story of Prince Lion-O’s ascension to the throne – and of those who would thwart his destiny at any cost – takes on epic dimensions in this sharp new telling. As the forces of good and evil battle each other in the quest for the fabled Stones of Power, Lion-O and his champions learn valuable lessons of loyalty, honor and mortality in every episode.
“ThunderCats” is executive produced by Sam Register (“Teen Titans,” “Ben 10,” “Batman: The Brave and the Bold”). Michael Jelenic (“Batman: The Brave and the Bold,” “Wonder Woman”) and Ethan Spaulding (“Avatar: The Last Airbender”) are the producers.

From Media Take Out:According to local reports, a 32 year old woman from the Russian city of Tambov was arrested for the poisoning and sexual assault of ten different men. The woman, who is photo’d above and is only identified by the name Valeria K, is alleged to have lured the men back to her apartment.
Once they were in her apartment, Valerie slipped a concoction into their drinks that knocked them out for hours. Once unconscious, Valeria played with the men’s genitals and after they became aroused, wrapped a rope around it - to maintain their erections. Then, she went to work – often going on for HOURS . . . and causing MEDICAL DAMAGE to the men.
All ten men have reported the same story, they followed Valeria back to her apartment for a few drinks, but woke the next morning in hospital with a loss of memory and trauma to the penis.
