10. Ozzy Osbourne Interview

http://pc.ign.com/articles/101/1017308p1.html

oh man... I have such mixed feeling on this one. On the one side... I grew up with Ozzy, been a big fan since mid 70's somewhere when I was about 12 or 13, Sabbath still had a few good years in the original line-up (and don't give me any Dio shit, I love the Dio version of Sabbath but it was a different band dammit, they should have changed the name!) and he could still perform live but oh man... this guy is so far gone it's not really funny. On the other side... This shit is the funniest fucking interview I've read in ages. heh, I was laughing so hard, tears were coming out :D

11. Tricia Helfer To Play Kerrigan In StarCraft II

http://www.gamercenteronline.net/2009/08/23/blizzcon-09-tricia-helfer-to-play-kerrigan-in-starcraft-ii/

This seems to be big news at a lot of places... I am not very happy about it. OK, she is hot, she is a good actress but... Your not going to see her and her voice will be masked in the Kerrigan style. I don't like changing players and would much prefer they got the original actress to do the voice. If they were going to sign some big name to do a voice, they would have been better off getting Tony Shalhoub to voice the monk in DIII... heh, actually that would be awesome :D
