El Guapo (Alfonso Arau) and Jefe (Tony Plana) argue about the meaning of the word “plethora” until Jefe cleverly changes the subject to Carmen.

Sony demos its own motion controller, the PlaystationMove, at the GDC in San Francisco today that has made some headlines in the gaming industry.

The Wii-like wands will be used in conjunction with the PlayStation Eye camera, which is required and will be available later this fall.

The motion controller features a nunchuk-style controller coupled with second motion controller outfitted with a large, ping-pong like ball on the end.

If Sony can capitalize on the motion-control gaming sector, it can really make some gains in the market as the Nintendo Wii does not offer many of the more adult games you can find on the PS3.

Watch the presentation video below from G4 which goes over the controller as well as some new games for the PS3.

Discovery Channels Mike Rowe

We can’t think of a better television host (or spokesman) than “Dirty Jobs” Mike Rowe. He’s funny. He’s witty. And he’s not afraid to slip a dirty innuendo into his show. Even if it’s visiting Oscar the Grouch on Sesame Street. Check out the video below at about 1:15 to see what we’re talking about.

We’re fans of the quirky television show “Psych” and were rather pleased when we came across this little video clip from the 1997 super-awesome Neil Patrick Harris movie “Starship Troopers” and saw Det. Lassiter. We’re also a little sad we didn’t see it earlier.

About 40 seconds into this great clip about the “Citizen Rule: People Making a Better Tomorrow” propaganda bit you will see a psychic who looks a lot like Detective Dipstick.

Yep, sure enough that’s Timothy Omundson, the psychic-despising cop from “Psych,” helping you get in touch with your inner psychic.

Instant Dharma (see past episodes here) takes a look at this weeks episode of LOST.  

What’s important about this week is we finally see a more human side of the evil Benjamin Linus. 

Or do we?

Ben has easily become one of our favorite characters on television thanks to the creepy performance of Michael Emerson. That’s why this Ben-centric episode was so anticipated.

We wanted to know if he could be a decent human in the real world (we hoped he wouldn’t!) and whether or not the promos showing Ben digging his own grave would come true.

Most telling about the episode may lie in the little secrets held by Richard. We finally get to know a little about him and why he doesn’t age.

This week, Brill Bundy from Zap2it.com (@zap2itbrill) and celebrity DJ and ‘Lost’ super fan Mike B. (@theemikeb) join host Maggie Furlong to talk about ‘Dr. Linus,’ this season’s stellar Ben-centric episode. Michael Emerson was on top of his game, on and off the Island, but we were also treated to great moments from Richard, Ilana, Jack, Miles and a certain submarine.

Check baby, check….

Thomas loves his Old School rap and if you ever go on “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” and you get asked to name the original members of NWA than Thomas should be your lifeline.

You will not go home empty handed on that question.

This week, the Retro Video comes to us from the rump shakers of Wreckx-n-Effect, a New Jack Swing Hip-Hop group who had the multi-platinum hit “Rump Shaker” in 1992. The video is awesome. The song is awesome. And yes, there are a lot of ladies shaking their rump for you.

Sad news from Hollywood this morning as 80’s teen idol Corey Haim was reported dead of an overdose of drugs by the LAPD. The actor has had trouble with drugs in the past but this is the headline we expected in the early 90’s and not when the guy was closing in on the age of 40.

Corey Haim shot to fame in the 80s when he co-starred in a number of films, including “The Lost Boys,” with the other Corey, Corey Feldman.

The actor, who has struggled with drug addiction, was pronounced dead at Providence St. Joseph’s Medical Center in Burbank.

Police were called to the hospital just before 4 a.m. to investigate his death.

Police sources told CBS Haim’s death appeared accidental. Haim has been in and out of rehab and starred in a reality show with Feldman in 2007 called “The Two Coreys.”

He talked about his struggle with drugs – specificially prescription drugs.

“I started on the downers which were a hell of a lot better than the uppers because I was a nervous wreck. But one led to two, two led to four, four led to eight, until at the end it was about 85 a day – the doctors could not believe I was taking that much,” he told a reporter in 2007.

Jeff Bridges really let himself go

We have some good news and some bad news for you peeps. First, the good news. Disney has released the newest trailer for the upcoming TRON sequel and it looks great.

“TRON Legacy” follows up the groundbreaking original movie from 1982. In “TRON,” Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) gets sucked into a virtual world where his life is on the line. The movie broke technical ground with extensive CG effects for the time and also spawned various video games and comics.

Now the bad news. The movie, which is coming out in 3-D and IMAX, doesn’t hit theaters until mid December. F@#k! And yes, that is Olivia Wilde up there in the latex body suit. Yeah!
