– The evil mutant assassin Psylocke has joined the lineup of “X-Men 3,” the latest installment of the Marvel superhero franchise, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The character will be played by Filipino actress Mei Melancon, who previously worked with “X-Men 3” director Brett Ratner in “Rush Hour 2.”
– A 19-year-old PETA staffer has legally changed his name to KentuckyFriedCruelty.com. The former Chris Garnett, youth outreach coordinator for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, said he changed his name in support of the group’s anti-KFC campaign. “Stacked” star Pamela Anderson, who narrated a PETA video showing the alleged abuse, supports the name change.
– Rap star Pimp C was released on parole Friday after serving about half of an 8-year sentence, making all those “Free Pimp C” T-shirts kind of useless. Pimp C was imprisoned in 2002 when he fell behind on community service required after pleading no contest to aggravated assault.
