What's happening on other blogs via the interweb.

• On December 17, Ann Curry is going to bungee jump off a bridge.
• Here's the trailer for the big screen Speed Racer movie.
• Behind the scenes of Rachael Ray.
• MTV picks the 10 most uncomfortable star interview moments (I think the Phoenix interview should be #1).
• Cracked picks the 13 most ridiculous TV shows of all-time (I don't agree with their choices of Quark and The 100 Lives of Blackjack Savage.)
• Tim Goodman has started a new TV blog, and he picks the 5 best Christmas specials, and I really can't argue with that list (though Miracle on 34th Street should probably be in there).

• Best Week Ever interviews Michael Emerson (Ben from Lost).
• Do all those "Save [Show Name Here]" campaigns really work?
• Another celeb interview: BuddyTV interviews James Kyson Lee (Ando from Heroes).
• Yes, Trump did indeed have something to say about Rosie leaving The View early.
• How many lawsuits have been filed against Brandy anyway?
• TV Guide's Matt Roush calls Hidden Palms "The O.C. meets Hitchcock."
• Here are the May sweeps ratings for the evening news (hint: Katie is still in third place).
• Cracked lists the 15 Painfully Unforgettable Cartoon Theme Songs.

The former Ed and Stella star is an editor-at-large at the new relaunced Cracked mag, which is going for the hearts and minds of twentysomething guys and not the kids. Mediabistro talked to Black about Stella, how he got the Cracked gig, and what the status is on a State movie (hint: it has something to do with iTunes).

They don't ask him about his appearances on Celebrity Poker Showdown though, which is too bad, since he's been one of the better players on the show. But I guess there's really not much you can ask about that. "So, you're a good poker player, eh?" or "Boy, such-and-such is really a moron, aren't they?"
