Who Wants To See Daniel Radcliffe And Jon Hamm Naked In An Old-Timey Tub? Oh, Everyone?

Do you know someone who has a hyperspecific fantasy about Jon Hamm and Daniel Radcliffe lounging nude together in an old-fashioned steel bathtub? You do? Then tell your mom or your roommate or yourself or whoever it is to get off the couch and come look at this photo! The Hollywood Reporter posted the first promo shot from the Sky Arts miniseries A Young Doctor’s Notebook. According to THR, the series is “darkly comedic” tale of a doctor remember his youth during WWI, but it seems to us that the title A Young Doctor’s Notebook is ambiguous enough to fit any kind of story you can think of. Any kind at all. You perverts.
“It was great, because you know you are the envy of every woman ever,” the Harry Potter star joked earlier this fall about shooting the tub scene. At least Daniel appreciates the position he’s in! We should probably add that Radcliffe actually plays a younger version of the Mad Men star, so their tubtime is merely a tubtime of the mind rather than, say, a naked ghost tubtime situation. And if you’re into that situation, good luck to you. You’re going to have to keep looking for a long time. That cannot be an easy thing to find. We imagine.

ABS-CBN Christmas Station ID 2012

Every year, the Kapamilya Network marks the start of the yuletide season with the launch of the ABS-CBN Christmas station ID. It has become almost a yearly tradition that Filipinos around the globe look forward to.

Lumiliwanag ang Mundo sa Kwento ng Pasko, ABS-CBN Christmas Station ID theme, highlights how the Filipino spirit always shines through despite calamities that ravage our country. It shows how each one of us become bearers of light, as we help our countrymen get back on their feet... how we remain resilient because kindness never runs out, because help always comes.

Many scenes in the SID are inspired by real events. Some of these stories happened at the height of the habagat - A fireman saved the lives of those stranded in their own homes; a chef opened the doors of his restaurant to feed victims; a young woman offered her own jacket to a street child who was suffering under the cold rain; Philippine coast guards went out of their way to save lives; Volunteers and civilians selflessly offered their time and energy to relief work.

This year's offering features hundreds of Kapamilya stars paying tribute to ordinary Filipino heroes, at the same time helping spread the light across the globe.

The parol, a Pinoy Christmas icon, is this year's Christmas SID centerpiece. Film director John-D Lazatin suggested the idea of having kids orphaned during Typhoon Sendong design a parol. This, in turn, is used as an instrument of light spreading around the world. When we own the Kapamilya parol, we're not only spreading the light, we're also being part of an effort to help our disaster affected Kapamilyas, as proceeds from the parol sales would be donated to Sagip Kapamilya, the ABS-CBN Foundation arm which provides relief to affected communities of disasters, as well as engage in rehabilitation and disaster risk reduction projects.

Is This What You Thought 50 Shades's Christian Grey Would Look Like?

Allow me to interrupt your daydream about Christian Grey, because according to the best-seller list, that's all anyone's doing these days. But don't get mad--I have a really, really good reason for it...what if I told you I interrupted to bring him to life? Well, in one of the most fun side projects ever, a psych professor at England's University of Central Lancashire has blended women's descriptions of 50 Shades of Grey's protagonist, Christian Grey, into a composite portrait. Curious? So were we! Have a look — it's academic research, after all!

The professor, Dr. Faye Skelton, was quoted as saying she hopes the portrait doesn't "intrude on anyone's fantasies." Ladies, I think we can forgive her.

Dr. Skelton made the picture using the same software used to make composite portraits of criminals, basing it on how the 12 women said they imagined Grey to look.  She thinks the portrait could be used by Hollywood when they're searching for an actor to play Grey in the upcoming film adaptation. Ian Somerhalder, the brooding-and-oh-so-handsome star of the Vampire Diaries, has been linked to the role, but it's still open (Ryan Gosling rumors have been swirling, too!).
