Gossip Girl's Second Life Secret
While we've been enjoying the stylish fashions and gadgets on Gossip Girl — and the fact that the show is about a blogger! - some fans have started enjoying Gossip Girl's neighborhood in Second Life experience called "The Upper East Side."

I think of them as digital characters, that are human-like, but not necessarily reflective of what I think real people should look like.

Do You Participate in Second Life?
For those of you who only take light doses of geekdom let me explain: Second Life is a 3-D virtual world that's built and owned by its residents.

Bad Lieutenant: Good Cop Gone Nuts
Nicolas Cage has said, "There's a very fine line between Method actor and schizophrenic." In Werner Herzog's Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, he teeters that line maniacally, with an ever-increasing slur and crooked swagger. Cage plays Terence McDonagh, a detective in post-Katrina New Orleans investigating a drug-related murder and his personal threshold for cocaine and heroin.

Zac looked handsome and casual in a blue t-shirt and jeans, and fiddled with a bottle top on the table while talking, he was pretty self-deprecating, as was Claire who looked gorgeous and was really funny.
