Up : Last laugh

Heath Ledger's last artistic project is now available. Just before his death in 2008, he directed the music video for mate and UK rapper N'FA.

The single's called Cause an Effect. It will probably surface on YouTube soon.

Masters of the Nerdverse

One of geekdom's favourite TV series, Firefly, may be coming back for a reunion season. A picture leaked on SciFiWire.com shows the actors posing together under a tree somewhere, looking up at the sky. So, is this a new Firefly project? One thing we know for sure is that we don't know.

Positive Criticism

Salon.com has put a list out of the worst reviewed films of all time. It goes as follows: Battlefield Earth ("the worst movie of this century"), Dr Seuss's The Cat in the Hat, Hudson Hawk, Showgirls, Gigli, Glitter ("for 11-year-old girls who dot their Is with hearts"), 8MM, Mission to Mars, Howard the Duck and finally, Cocktail ("a title that's all too apropos").

Sleeping Beauty

Trouble getting some shut-eye? Wired.com is a firm believer that you should use gadgetry to catch those Zzzs. Why not download some sleeper-helper apps like Pzizz? It creates an ambient noise to help your grey matter switch off. There's even a simpler app: Long Deep Breathing. Hmm, what next? Deathly Silence?

Down: Thumb wars

A 25-year-old Southern California woman has been sentenced to a year in prison. She's been convicted of sending hundreds and hundreds of hostile text messages to herself in an effort to set up her ex and his sister-in-law as the culprits. And she nearly got away with it! The ex got arrested once. The sister-in-law? Three times. You've got to love technology.

Forbidden Fruit

Vuvuzelas have been banned in the United Arab Emirates. The fatwa states: "If they are loud enough to damage hearing, vuvuzelas are haram (forbidden)." Talk about a party pooper.

Heil Hoosan

Everyone knows about the controversy surrounding the Bollywood take on Adolf Hitler's love affair with Eva Braun. But now we know who's going to star: Anupam Kher will play the man with the mustache, former Miss India Neha Dhupia (pictured) will play Braun. I see many critics swallowing cyanide pills.
