The first reviews for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" are rolling in, and the verdict is... overwhelmingly (and unsurprisingly) positive.

Should George Clooney be worried? We just got word that the actor's gal Stacy Keibler may be hanging out this weekend with tiger blood titan Charlie Sheen! So what's...

I don't get a chance to get out with the guys often, but when my buds Bruce (A-1 Hand Handyman) and Jaymel (Anytime Auto Glass) said "let's go to the Terrace, they have dollar tacos tonight", I just couldn't refuse. This was an especially long day for me. Monday nights I usually don't get much sleep. It's often that I'm up till 2-3am preparing sales tips for my San Tan Leads Tuesday morning meeting. After only a few hours of sleep I was really looking forward to finishing my day with a cold brew, so Bruce's invite could not have come at a better time.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the annual August Perseid meteor shower probably ranks as the all-time favorite meteor shower of the year and with clear skies expected and the moon setting well before midnight, the stage is set for the best meteor shower of the year for local astronomy fans. This major shower takes place during the lazy, hazy days of summer, when many families are on vacation. And what could be more luxurious than taking a siesta in the heat of the day and watching this summertime classic in the relative coolness of night?

Although city lights will interfere with the amazing light show, San Tan Valley residents, who are already miles from urban light pollution should have optimum conditions and may see as many as 90 meteors per hour.

No matter where you live worldwide, the 2013 Perseid meteor shower will probably be at its best on the nights of August 11-12 and/or August 12-13.

How about an IMPROV Comedy show?

Rumor has it studio execs are thinking of changing the name of Snow White and the Huntsman to The Charlize Theron Show. We're totally kidding, but they might as well. 'Cause two trailers have now surfaced on the net for the upcoming fairytale flick and we've still yet to hear Snow White herself, Kristen Stewart, utter a single word.

So what's the deal?!...
