    The irony of all of this is ComicCon is more entertaining, by far, than most of the material it peddles.

    Ok, I give: Who’s the girl in the pic by “famous for being famous”? I’m more clueless than usual and can’t figure out what story she’s supposed to be attached to.

    She is Lyda Loudon, who I never heard of before this morning. But she is the 18 year old tea party chick who landed this whale of a catch:

    A twist on the Doug Hutchington-Courtney Stodden romance…which is probably how this one will play out also.

    So more people wanted to see Scarlett Johansson with her shirt on than Dwayne “The Rock” with his shirt off.

    Unfortunately you can guess which camp my wife falls into and thus which movie I saw. “Hercules” is really a wait for Netflix deal; total cookie cutter.

    Thanks, EBL! I saw a few pictures of her, but none that looked like the one in the post here.
