Remember those cool Aerosmith videos that featured Alicia Silverstone? There was one where Alicia and Liv Tyler were pretend teen lesbians on a road trip, which I thought was awfully open-minded on the part of frontman Steve Tyler, considering Liv is his daughter and all.

Well, I have no idea how old Alicia is these days, and I’m too lazy to look it up. But I’m pretty certain she ain’t a kid anymore, and is probably well into her 30s.

If this is a recent photo, she’s either been in suspended animation, of someone slathered on the Photoshop.

Via the Doncaster, U.K. Free Press:

They brought terror to his Saturday tea-times but 37 years on Robert Hull is happy to be surrounded by his arch-enemy.

From hiding behind the sofa to escape their evil clutches, Robert is now happy to decorate his own living room from floor to ceiling with . . . Daleks!

Robert has an amazing 225 models of the menacing robots in his north Doncaster front room – and the last thing the avid collector wants to do is exterminate them.

Pathetic. Now, if the guy had remodeled his living room into a replica of the bridge of the Starship Enterprise, THAT would be cool.

In terms of writing, special effects, acting and effect on popular culture, Star Trek has it all over Dr. Who.

Show me a space shuttle prototype named “TARDIS” and I’ll have the slightest respect for “Dr. Who.”

CUTLINE: A model wearing a “My Chopsticks” bra. Japanese women with green issues close to their hearts may soon be able to wear a bra which can carry their own chopsticks in a bid to reduce waste. The bra, created by Triumph Japan, sports cups styled like a bowl of rice and a bowl of miso soup and side pouches for the chopsticks.

America might have might be the home of fascination with the female breast. But leave it to the Japanese to come up with ways to improve bra technology. Talk about multi-tasking.

If you were making a list of things that would get you fired IMMEDIATELY in the United States, asking your female employees to come to work clad only in their undies would have to be near the top of the list. In Taiwain, they have a sense of humor about that sort of thing:

Taiwan’s Audrey Underwear decided to celebrate record sales by naming November 21 Camisole Day.

All 500 female workers were encouraged to wear smalls – and a stunning 90 per cent did.

“We have been waiting for this day all month. Today, we are super high, and don’t know where to put our eyes,” salesman Cai Mingda said.

Mother-of-two Zhang Yufeng, 32, admitted: “I have been on a strict diet to get ready for the day. When I was trying on my outfit at home, my husband told me I should dress like this every day.”

After coverage on Mashable and elsewhere, Facebook has removed the porn ads that sneaked in over Thanksgiving – ads for a webcam site showed topless women in the Facebook sidebar.

It’s not their first knocker block: Facebook previously came “under fire for removing pictures of breast-feeding, treating them as “obscene” content.

The Mashable link has a teeny-tiny pic of one of the ads in question. Because, as you know, it’s very had to find pictures of nekked wimmen on the Internets.

CUTLINE — Actress Melissa Gilbert visits with 10-year-old cancer sufferer Olivia Ward at Akron Children’s Hospital in Akron, Ohio, October 14, 2007. Best known for her ‘Little House on the Prairie’ television role in the 1970s, Gilbert is part of a health coalition kicking off a national campaign next week to improve care for seriously ill and dying children.

OK, Melissa Gilbert is still hot, in that girl-next-door sorta way. But she’s obviously one of those near people for whom being useful and helpful isn’t a marketing campaign.

Sci-Fi Baby Names compiles more than 500 distinctive names from movies, books, and television shows into a handy illustrated reference. Choose “James” to honor the captain of the starship Enterprise. Choose “Leia” (or Leah) to honor the sister of Luke Skywalker.

Oh, that’s just great. Five years from now, teachers will be taking role for names like “Seven of  Nine Smith” and “Starbuck Goldstein” …

Chicago Tribune columnist lets Steve Bartman off the hook. He says Bartman isn’t to blame for the Cubs losing out on a chance to go to the World Series back in 2003. After all, all the guy did was reach into foul territory and interfere with a Cubs player who was trying to catch a popup. Sure, the Cubs were five outs away from going to the Series. Sure the batter ended up walking. It was the entire team’s fault, Morrissey says, for the loss. None of those these were the result of Bartman’s interferance, he says.

Bull.

I recall reading a science fiction story in my youth about time travelers who go back to prehistoric times, step on a butterfly, and end up causing all of humanity to wipes off the face of the Earth. That one change — a butterfly that dies before it’s time — causes a series of reactions that lead to the human race to not come into existence.

But Steve Bartman — by depriving the Cubs out of one of the five outs they needed to make it to the World Series — did nothing bad to the Cubs. Yeah. Right.

If Alou is allowed to catch tbe ball, then there is no need for the double play to get out of the inning. Then Prior would have no reason to lose his composure. Sure, the Marlins could still have come back to win, but they would have had to do it on their own without the extra at bats they got due to Bartman’s gaffe.

I’m sick of columnists and so-called experts trying to prove how much smarter they are then the average fan by denying the conventional wisdom that Bartman cost the Cubs a trip to the series. Bartman’s isn’t a curse. Batman just deserved to be cured at.

Stay hidden awya fronm sight, Mr. Bartman. It’s for your own good. And stay the Hell away from Wrigley Field.

This one is dedicated to Rich Miller. Better luck next year.
