An asteroid the size of a tour bus zipped by Earth today (June 27) in a flyby so close that the space rock was nearer to the planet than some satellites, giving skywatchers and astronomers a tantalizing target for photos.

The space rock, called asteroid 2011 MD, reached its closest point to Earth just after 1 p.m. EDT (1700 GMT), when it crept within 7,500 miles (12,000 km) of Earth before whipping away again like a slingshot. The asteroid was flying over the southern Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Antarctica, at the time of its closest approach.

The asteroid was discovered just last week on June 22, but there was never any risk of it impacting Earth, NASA scientists said. Astronomers with the LINEAR near-Earth object survey in Socorro, N.M., made the find. [Video of asteroid 2011 MD]

The space rock is on the small side, with latest size estimates ranging from 16 to 66 feet (5 to 20 meters) wide.

That means asteroid 2011 MD would likely be too small to survive the fiery plunge through Earth's atmosphere, let alone reach the surface, NASA scientists said. Asteroids this size can be expected to buzz Earth with close shaves about once every six years, they added.

The asteroid's close brush with Earth sent it off on a new trajectory through the solar system. The space rock flew well below geosynchronous satellites, which orbit 22,236 miles (35,786 km) above Earth, but well above the 220-mile (354-km) altitude of the International Space Station.

There was little chance the asteroid would hit a satellite because of the vastness of space and relatively small number of satellites, experts said.

All the technical promise of decades of “aliens invade” thrillers, from “Independence Day” through “Battle: Lost Angeles,” and the best comic character actors money can buy serve “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” well. The funniest, best-executed film in the talking, bleeding, Earth-protecting robots-that-look-like-cars-and-trucks series, “Moon” delivers the popcorn in gigantic fist-fulls of fun.
It’s as head-slappingly stupid as ever, a product placement action film with a Camaro as a hero and assorted other motoring makes as villains. But Michael Bay’s cartoon-come-to-life co-opts NASA history and re-decorates Chicago with a gusto as over-the-top as any Shia LaBeouf rant, rave or riff. Hey, what’s an actor to do when all the best lines go to digital robots?
“I just want to matter,” says young Sam (LaBeouf), a two-time planetary hero reduced to begging for work from the likes of John Malkovich. He needs a D.C. job because he has traded the bombshell girlfriend played by Megan Fox for a model (Rosie Huntington-Whiteley) who wears short, tight clothes and only has one scene in which we note that she’s a model, not an actress.
The Autobots are ever vigilant, though there are those (Bill O’Reilly of Fox News among them) who want them exiled. And if you have any recollection of the old TV cartoon, you know that those darned Decepticons are never quite fully vanquished. This time, there’s a buried spaceship on the Moon, a half-century long NASA cover-up and the revival of an ancient leader, Sentinel Prime, disc0mfittingly voiced by the great Vulcan, Leonard Nimoy.
Hearing Mr. Spock repeat lines from “Star Trek” movies in robot form in this context is only the second most tone-deaf thing here. Having lunar explorer Buzz Aldrin on hand to legitimize the bogus NASA history is the first.
But as Sam hurtles from D.C. to the Kennedy Space Center to piece together this alternate history, he meets an array of great character players — from the returning John Turturro, as an ex-CIA conspiracy buff, to Frances McDormand, as a new intelligence chief. Yes, Malkovich steals his scenes. Unless he’s in them with the hilarious Ken Jeong of “The Hangover” movies. Read more....

There are some sports rivalries that transcend the sport itself. Wrestling has had a few of those rivalries, but the most intense rivalry of all time was between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels.

These two men were two of the best workers in WWE back in the early- to mid-90's, but they couldn't stand each other. It wasn't a work, either. These two legitimately hated each other.

The rivalry came to a head at the 1997 Survivor Series with the infamous "Montreal Screwjob" in which Vince McMahon called for the bell after Michaels put Hart in a sharpshooter. That was not the planned finish, and after the event was over Hart gave McMahon a black eye in the back.

Michaels and Hart made up in January 2010 when Hart made his return to WWE 12 years after the Screwjob. And now, according to Hall of Fame announcer Jim Ross, these two will get their own DVD release chronicling the history of their rivalry.

This got us thinking about some of the other WWE rivalries that we would like to see immortalized with a DVD release. There are a lot of great options to choose from, but we narrowed the list down to five.

Without further ado, here are the wrestling rivalries that should get their own DVD release.

Guillermo Del Toro's Don't Be Afraid of the Dark premiere at the L.A. film festival was important enough to drive our veteran hottie Katie Holmes out of her mom jeans and into a sexy, revealing (for her) dress, and, thank you Billy Del Toro for that wonderful ruse. It seems as if Katie Holmes is flashing all sorts of Xenu-offending outfits these days and I couldn't be happier. Revealing outfits means more time in the gym re-perfecting the Creek body, maybe even some memorable wardrobe malfunctions to come. Katie Holmes looked hot over the weekend at this L.A. film festival; I'm sensing even more greatness is on its way. Enjoy.

We’ve all select Sienna Miller bikini pictures in advance of, but what makes these paramount, is absolutely the photographer, more than anything else. Notice anything strange (besides the inexact silver rest? If you said he’s in in the mean of the dishwater, you would be lawful. And from the looks of it, not contrariwise is he evasion in the weaken, but he’s in fact in the not be sensible, as in, not in a ship or anything. At least that’s what it looks from the oldest vive.

Sienna Miller looking sex-mad in a bikini is at rest the headland, neutral kindliness it was compelling to go steady with some name bikini pictures from a everything recent projection.

Avril Lavigne really has extended her French Riviera bikini vacation into the realm of the 'thank you very much', with yet another romp aboard the S.S. Hottie, this time, in a lovely shade of violet, to flash her petite but sextastically tight bikini body for the benefit of oglers with telescopic lenses everywhere. While I can't actually peel my eyes from shots of this little Cannuckian diva's frontside, I must admit, my very favorite view may be the visual of her Mediterranean-doused bottomside -- oh, to be a body of water allowed to lap thy waves upon such earthly delights. Say what you will about this sk8ter girl, she vacations well. Enjoy.

On stage at the Glastonbury Music Festival, Beyonce said that it was "her dream" to be there performing.

Following this performance, she'll be in the dreams of thousands of British music fans for a long time to come.

The R&B star, the first female headliner in the history of the festival, brought down the house Sunday night, wowing a screaming audience of 170,000+ fans. The bright lights of what is considered by some to be the biggest music festival in the world were no match for the singer, as she ran through some of her biggest hits, opening with "Crazy Like That" before moving on to songs like "Single Ladies," "Irreplaceable," and a medley of Destiny's Child favorites, including "Survivor" and "Say My Name."

She also sang her new single, "1+1," as well as "At Last," the song she sang during President Obama's inauguration in 2009. That performance came with a special civil rights-themed video montage -- which included video of that very inauguration. See her complete setlist here.

Her husband, Jay-Z, watched from the side of the stage alongside Gwyneth Paltrow, whose husband Chris Martin performed earlier with his band Coldplay. Jay-Z, in 2008, was the first hip hop act to play the festival.

Almost two decades in to being one of America's Sweethearts, Jennifer Aniston is reaching a new high -- by going for a new low.
Aniston, as has been consistently highlighted, stars in the upcoming hard-R film, "Horrible Bosses," the tale of three men (Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day) who want to murder their, well, horrible bosses. Aniston plays one of those awful employers, a sexual harassment-happy dentist with a very non-traditional definition of rape.
And order in which she eats her courses at dinner.
Kevin Spacey and a barely recognizable Collin Farrell take on the roles of the other two bosses, while Jamie Foxx, as Motherf*cker Jones, plays a hitman inspiring the three beleaguered employees to pull off the killings.
This new trailer gives the most graphic details of the film yet; come July 8th, all the horribleness will be in full view.
