Here are today’s top entertainment headlines:

• On her official webpage, author J.K. Rowling has put up a hangman game where fans can figure out the title of the 7th, and final, Harry Potter book.  It has been speculated that in the book the young hero Harry Potter will die, effectively driving millions of readers into the arms of NBC’s To Catch a Predator.

• From our “Where Are They Now” file, Fred Durst, lead “singer” of Limp Bizkit, has been cast in an upcoming movie titled Play Dead.  The story centers on a formerly successful frat-rock star who desperately tries to hold on to his meager amount of “celebrity” without the aid of a VH1 reality show.

• Some major movie studios here in the States are crying foul after the losing defendants in a major piracy case in China mysteriously disappeared.  Disney, Universal and Fox, amongst others, were hoping that the verdict would prove a crippling blow in their fight against piracy and are demanding that Chinese officials do everything in their power to locate the individuals.  In response, Chinese law enforcement agents released descriptions of the wanted men, each sporting an eye patch, parrot and wooden peg leg.

• Children across the country are giggling with glee now that the beleaguered Buster Baxter, the cartoon star of the PBS series Postcards From Buster, is getting a second chance with 10 new episodes. The original series was yanked after Buster visited a family in Vermont with two mommies.  PBS executives couldn’t have been more excited as they released the upcoming schedule which features the episodes “Jimmy and the House of Crack” and “Timmy’s Daddy is a ‘Bottom’.”

• In another example of what happens when Rosie O’Donnell doesn’t have something occupying her mouth, a war of words has begun evolving the corpulent host of The View and the toupee challenged Donald Trump.  This latest brouhaha comes after O’Donnell chastised Donald Trump’s reaction to the controversy surrounding Miss USA Tara Conner and her nights of under-age drinking, drug use and illicit sex.  When asked for comment, Trump fired back, “The only time O’Donnell should open her fat mouth should be to stuff it full of food… or vagina!”
