Mike Bettes of The Weather Channel’s Vortex2 team captured awesome footage shot inside a forming tornado in Goshen County, WY. I’m a sucker for tornado videos and this is pretty outstanding–I’ve never seen anything like it:

I love MrChiCity3.
Big week in gay news with California now allowing gay marriage and Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi immediately announcing their pending nuptials. This has an excitement factor of zero since Ellen’s going to wear a handsomely cut tuxedo and Portia will wear a slinky dress–just like they boringly dress at every event. Let’s hope George Takei and partner Brad (who announced their marriage plans on Howard Stern this morning) will step it up a notch.
The biggest news, however, was the announcement of RuPaul’s Drag Race, a reality show to find America’s most superstar drag queen. It’s on Logo next year and is only slated for six episodes. Which is a drag. I want a full season of this.

These things I noticed:
☻ Best Game Ever: The folks behind January’s stop motion Grand Central Station performance turn a Little League baseball game into a major league production. Hilarious.
☻ Unfortunately, women are still having Sex and the City parties. And talking about it.
☻ Project Runway: Bravo, out. Lifetime, in. Bravo VP Andy Cohen is locking himself in an empty boardroom right now and screaming, “My empire…is…CRUMBLING!”
☻ I stopped watching ANTM and now just read Fourfour’s recaps instead. It’s 100% less shrieky.
☻ I really dislike Giada “bobblehead” De Laurentiis, but I’m going to try her recipe for Amaretto Sours with Prosecco. But maybe use whiskey instead of Amaretto.
In my little mind, the upcoming horror-based reality show on The CW sounds so cool because Sam Raimi is involved. In reality, it’s probably going to be as bad as “Who Wants to be Superhero?” which originally had a glimmer of being halfway decent because Stan Lee was involved.
“13″ (working title), a spine-tingling new eight-episode series combining the horror genre with a reality show format, will premiere in the summer of 2008, it was announced today by Dawn Ostroff, President of Entertainment, The CW.
The show’s executive producers are Jay Bienstock (”Survivor,” “The Apprentice”) and Ghost House Pictures’ Sam Raimi (the “Spider-Man” films, “The Evil Dead” films) and Robert Tapert, (”The Evil Dead” films, “The Grudge” films). Ghost House Pictures’ Joe Drake and Nathan Kahane will produce.
“This series is the first to take the horror movie into the reality world,” said Ostroff. “The action takes contestants on a journey with challenges and games designed to frighten them along the way. Similar to horror films, the challenges will play into our deepest fears and anxieties and will reveal things the contestants never knew about themselves.”
No other details have been announced. Would Bruce Campbell as host be a good or a bad thing?
Speaking of The CW, how cute were those rubber fireman-ish faux stillettos on America’s Next Top Model last week for the walk-off in the fire station? You could totally rock your driveway in those while cleaning snow off your car.
Wow, either the real world really does suck or this chick is well on her way to superstar status in the Reality TV Hall of Fame.
“CROMWELL, Conn. — A Connecticut cast member on the MTV reality show “The Real World” was arraigned on a misdemeanor assault charge Monday, accused by police of biting her boyfriend during a domestic dispute.Paula Ann Meronek, 25, bit her boyfriend several times when he refused to let her into their home at about 3 a.m. Sunday, police said.”
We expect great things from her in the future, like a guest spot on The Surreal Life or a misdemeanor or two for public drunkenness at a Denny’s.
Bonus Insanity Points added for her near-miss resemblance to Tonya Harding at her peak.
