Homer Simpson to appear on The Tonight Show
If you thought the whole 7-Eleven stores turned into Kwik-E-Marts was unique, how about an appearance by Homer Simpson on The Tonight Show?
Yea - not as cool, but definitely something different and fresh. Usually they have the voice actors on the show but this time the actual Homer (in animated form obviously) will make an appearance during Jay Leno’s opening monologue on Tuesday, July 24th.
So mark your calendars and set your DVR or VCR (what’s that?) to record The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Tuesday, July 24th at 11:35PM.

Cars 2 in the works?
Oh those darn internet rumors! The latest rumor circulating around the internet is that of a sequel to Pixar’s Cars. - I’m pretty sure this isn’t going to happen. It would make more sense to create a Finding Nemo sequel, considering it has been Pixar’s highest grossing movie. It also received much better reviews than Cars. Heck, an Incredibles sequel would be a better choice. I just don’t see audiences wanting another Cars movie.
Until Pixar confirms (please don’t) or denies (please do!) this story, it shall be nothing more than a rumor.
