An astute reader of TheTodayNews.com was recently in Wilmington, NC, where the CW series is filmed. She stumbled across an outdoor scene shooting for Season 8 of OTH and snapped this photo of Quinn and Haley outside of a hospital. Whew, are we relieved Quinn is OK! (Again, not that we watch the show or anything.)

In reality, filming location used for the “hospital” was the Hanover County Library in downtown Wilmington. But throw a couple of extras walking around dressed in nurse scrubs and voilà! Now it becomes a hospital.

Madden.

Electronic Arts released “Madden NFL 11 for iPad” yesterday, and the quality of the HD game is absolutely amazing. Designed to take full advantage of the iPad’s multi-touch screen, the game one-ups other platforms by allowing you to create on-screen touch routes to immediately design your own plays on the fly.

So far our team choice of Green Bay with Roethlisberger at the helm, supported by Browns teammates Josh Cribbs and Joe Thomas, is starting the Madden 11 season off right!

Not wanting to be one-upped by other celebrity dads such as Gene Simmons, Hulk Hogan, and Bruce Jenner-Kardashian who have reality shows detailing the misadventures of their own families, David Hasselhoff is apparently gearing up for a reality show of his own, “The Hasselhoffs”, which will also feature daughters Taylor Ann Hasselhoff and Hayley Hasselhoff.

If this new reality show doesn’t last, The Hoff can always go back to singing pop songs in Germany. Because those Germans just looooove David Hasselhoff…

But one inventor has taken the art of lazy-sandwich making up a notch by creating a premade sandwich in a can that has a shelf life of one year.

Behold the Candwich…a 450-calorie canned sandwich you can stash in your desk drawer, your locker, or even the trunk of your car and eat it whenever you get the munchies up to 12 months later.

Can’t decide what you might want to eat for lunch a year from now? No problem! The Candwich comes in three delicious flavors: PBJ Strawberry, PBJ Grape, and BBQ Chicken, with Pepperoni Pizza and French Toast Candwiches currently in development.

Scientists from the University of Kansas and the Smithsonian Institute have been studying worldwide “extinction events” over the last 500 million years, and have discovered an eerily regular cycle occurring every 27,000,000 years.

One theory is that a distant dark star in orbit around the sun intersects the Oort Cloud (a vast belt of ice and solar system leftovers) at regular intervals, sending a deadly shower of asteroids and comets through the solar system.

The next cycle isn’t projected to occur for another 16 million years though, so better not send any emails telling people off just yet!

Unfortunately our lifelong stage heroes are starting to show their age. Jon Bon Jovi suffered a painful torn calf muscle while performing in his home state of New Jersey on Friday, but the singer/actor/arena-football-team-owner continued to perform and finish out the show to the delight of the fans.

Jon’s injury comes at a time when several prominent rock bands are stumbling, literally.

The most famous rock band on-stage injury was star Steven Tyler’s fall from the stage in 2009, which resulted in a broken shoulder and the end of Aerosmith. A less damaging, but still embarrassing, tumble was delivered by KISS’ Paul Stanley a few years ago when he slid (intentionally) across the stage into a live camera (not intentionally) during a nationally televised performance.

But can the pretty face of a competitor trump all of your hard work?

One Cleveland blogger’s investigation found that when both a man with 10 years of experience and an attractive woman with no experience were sent to apply for the same position, the hottie with no experience was offered the job.

Apparently it’s better to spend more time in front of the mirror and less time in that resume-writing class!

The website was active from the NBA player’s 2003 draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers through 2006, but fell eventually fell into disuse when LBJ grew tired of providing updates. The previously dormant site now shows a page with LeBron’s pixelated face on it that says “Getting Closer”.

James is expected to announce which team he will sign with in the next few days.

It is very surprising that LeBronJames.com has never been fully developed. The potential ad revenue from the last several months (particularly the last few weeks) would have been staggering as fans could have visited the site for daily and sometimes hourly updates on the playoffs and on his free agency.

The DC Comics super-heroine has been given a new look by artist and co-publisher Jim Lee, who no doubt designed the outfit to be more “theater friendly” and go hand-in-hand with the planned Wonder Woman movie. So those of you who had visions of Jessica Biel running around the big screen in a tight red, white, and blue one-piece are out of luck!

Interestingly Wonder Woman is not the only person being reinvented in this story. Writer J. Michael Straczynski, known mostly for his 1990s “Babylon 5″ TV Series, is taking over the comic book series. I wonder if he can get Claudia Christian to play Wonder Woman in the movie…

American Greetings has announced a line of cards called Tasties, which come with a disposable flavor strip meant to be eaten by the card recipient. The Cleveland-based company says each Tasty contains a sealed strip offering a “tasty surprise” corresponding to the theme of the card.

The advent of the taste-o-card changes the whole dynamic of greeting card choices. What used to be a classic greeting card theme on the outside may harbor a nasty flavor strip on the inside…we at TheTodayNews.com now live in daily fear of receiving a card featuring a puppy, a booger joke, or (shudder) the dreaded plumbers butt-crack!
