He Haim, He Saw, He Conquered

1. 80's heartthrob Corey Haim died Wednesday at the age of 38 after reportedly suffering a drug overdose. Haim starred in hit movies such as Lucas and The Lost Boys, and a few networks have begun pre-production for a TV movie based on his life. After possessing another person's body to tryout, Haim was disappointed to find he couldn't get cast in that either.

3. The makers of Barbie announced they will be creating dolls based on characters from the show Mad Men.

4. Best Buy unveiled a line of 3D televisions on Wednesday they hope will allow them to cash in on the 3D phenomenon started by James Cameron's Avatar.

5. As part of a BBC documentary, researchers ran an experiment to see if an "underwear bomb" could in fact bring a plane down, as was the plan of the unsuccessful Christmas Day bomber in Detroit last year. The researchers found that the underwear bomb would not have done any harm to the 747. The remaining passengers in line for the bathroom, however, respectfully disagreed.

High five.
