Apollo 11 Customs Declaration
Click the image to see the full-sized version! When Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, (and the decidedly less intrepidly-named) Michael Collins landed off the coast of Hawaii on July 24th, 2009, they were asked to fill out a customs form like any visitor to the United States. Although the paperwork was tongue-in-cheek, the three astronauts were quarantined in a special NASA holding unit for three weeks to prevent Earthly contamination by moon-germs. I’d like to take this opportunity to say ‘thank you” to the astronauts, for agreeing to be locked in what looks like a taco truck for almost a month to protect us from lunar cooties.

Taylor Lautner thinks Taylor Swift is beautiful!
After showing off his muscular body in New Moon, no one can believe that Taylor Lautner was once bullied. The 17 year-old hottie says, “I was never extremely confident. Because I was an actor, when I was in school there was a little bullying going on. Not physical bullying but people making fun of what I do … I just had to tell myself I can’t let this get to me. This is what love to do. And I’m going to continue to do it.” (More on Taylor swift under this post)
Meanwhile, Lautner cannot believe how fast his career has taken off and how well the movies have done – feeling extremely grateful that he got the opportunity to be a part of Twilight and adding that he doesn’t mind sharing the screen with Robert Pattinson.
And, as far as rumored girlfriend Taylor Swift is concerned, Lautner isn’t one to tell all. Asked if they’re together, he teases, “Possibly. We got along great. We instantly clicked. And she’s—she’s an amazing girl. Aside from being beautiful, she’s extremely funny, charismatic and fun to be around, so we definitely got along. We’re close.”
Disney Channel wants more ‘Jonas’
The Jonas Brothers are keepers at Disney Channel. The cable channel has ordered a second season of the pop stars’ comedy series “Jonas” and has tapped new executive producers: showrunner Lester Lewis and director Paul Hoen. Disney Channels Worldwide entertainment president Gary Marsh called Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas, who are in Italy as part of the European leg of their Live Nation-produced world concert tour, to give them the pickup news.Production on Season 2 of “Jonas” is slated to begin in February for a premiere in the middle of next year. Additionally, Disney Channel has renewed the trio’s short-form reality series “Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream” for a second season. Filming already is under way for a premiere early next year.
“These guys are the superstars of their generation,” Marsh said. “We had the opportunity to extend our relationship with them, which we did.” Disney’s collaboration with the brothers extends beyond the TV series to the successful “Camp Rock” TV movie franchise, concert tours and concert movies. “Jonas” premiered in the spring to solid numbers but couldn’t match the heights of Disney Channel hits like “Hannah Montana.” “Jonas” has been winning its Sunday time slot in key kids demographics, averaging 3.4 million viewers.
Disney brass is looking to take the show to the next level with the addition of Lewis, who has worked on “The Office” and “The Larry Sanders Show,” and Hoen, who has directed nine Disney Channel movies. “Jonas” is unusual in being a single-camera comedy on a channel dominated by multicamera sitcoms. “Lester Lewis, who is coming off ‘The Office,’ has a particular sensibility and is an expert in the craft of creating single-camera comedy, while Paul Hoen brings a unique visual style,” Marsh said.
Meanwhile, the executive producers who launched “Jonas” — sitcom veteran Michael Curtis and Roger S.H. Schulman — have departed the series. Hoen has directed the Jonases in an episode of their show and in the upcoming sequel “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam.” “The Jonas brothers are a rare combination of hugely talented and tremendously likable,” the WME-repped Lewis said.
The new season of “Jonas” will follow the brothers as they set out on a summer vacation in Los Angeles that leads to them landing gigs in show business. In addition to the brothers, “Jonas” co-stars Chelsea Staub and Nicole Anderson.
