Christina Perasso, star of Hollywood's first social film, Inside, has been trapped in an unknown location for 10 days, with little to eat or drink. Here's what we know so far:
Sure, you've been out of school for about a decade now, but those beer pong poster affixed to your wall with poster putty is impressing absolutely no one.

It's AMC Mob Week, which means it's time to grab a few of your little friends, curl up in bed with your favorite horse head, and tune in to the badass, week-long film series hosted by none other than America's mob-busting mayor, Rudolph Giuliani.
Inside officially started yesterday, July 25, when the first film segment posted to YouTube at 2 PM EST. Christina Perasso (Emmy Rossum) is locked in that room with just a laptop and an intermittent Wifi connection as her lifeline to the outside world. No one knows how this scenario is going to play out, or how long Christina can even survive—she's in there without food or water. It's all part of an experiment in Social Film created by Intel and Toshiba, and her fate is truly in the hands of her family and friends, both old and new, and you, the viewers.
Remember the golden days of childhood, when you'd consume musty library copies of Choose Your Own Adventure books like so many Warheads, feeling like you controlled the universe? Well, here's your opportunity to recreate the magic: Inside, a legit film experiment in which you can help control the action, is premiering next Monday, July 25.
After an agonizing wait, AMC's award-winning Breaking Bad is back for its fourth season—and you can get your first fix this Sunday. When last we saw chemistry teacher turned meth-maker Walter White, things had just gone from bad to really, really bad—and this season is looking just as bleak. And by bleak we mean nail-bitingly, explosively, gun-wieldingly, drug-dealingly badass.

Those pesky celebs. When they aren't sending around dong shots or breaking out of rehab, they have to go and ruin our image of them by starring in movies or voting in the Senate. Call it schadenfreude or a rip-roaring good time, but there is nothing we love more then when famous folk do bad all by themselves.

Oh, miracle of all miracles! This past Thursday, after a wrathful midday thunderstorm here in NYC, the skies cleared up, the music started playing, and readers and writers alike came out to celebrate the mysterious event known only as Miracle Day.
How's this for bizarre? Reports have come in from Denver to New York City to L.A. that "strange marches" are being held in public areas, its members silent and wearing white masks with a single teardrop falling from the left "eye." They are carrying signs printed simply with "#miracleday" and "miracleday.com" and are distributing tiny black globes emblazoned with "Miracle Day 07.08.11."
Word on the street is that groups of the so-called "Soulless" are gathering peacefully to silently protest the impending Miracle Day, rumored to be taking place this Friday. Some believe that Miracle Day will be a day for rejoicing (probably because, allegedly, no one will ever die again), but others remain cautious.
If the world is changing forever on 7/8 (newsflash), you may as well spend the night of 7/7 with a free drink in your hand and a free amuse-bouche in your bouche on a sick downtown NYC rooftop in the presence of an ice sculpture and people dressed as they want to be dressed for the rest of time in order to toast Miracle Day. That's what we're going to be doing, anyway.
