Lollapalooza 2013 Sold Out

Just an hour after they went on sale Wednesday, single-day tickets to Lollapalooza have sold out.

The festival was already fresh out of all of its "secret sale" souvenir, "early bird" and three-day passes, so now all that remains available for the Aug. 4-6 festival -- save a trip to StubHub or Craigslist -- are travel packages that will set you back at least $1,599 (but include three nights of lodging) apiece.

On Monday, Lollapalooza formally announced its 2013 lineup, a verbatim match of a leaked lineup that hit the Internet the week prior and appeared to prompt the festival to bump up its lineup announcement date from April 9.

Strangely, as Consequence of Sound points out, Sunday single-day tickets were the last of the bunch to sell out on Wednesday, despite The Cure -- arguably the festival's most noteworthy booking -- playing that day.

Also headlining the festival -- to be held in Grant Park before a capacity crowd of 100,000 people each day -- are Mumford & Sons, The Killers and Nine Inch Nails. They'll be joined by Phoenix, Vampire Weekend, New Order and a reunion of The Postal Service. All but three of those bands have played the festival before, some as recently as 2010.

Brittney Griner responds to Mark Cuban's offer

MarkCuban might have to keep a spot open on the Dallas Mavericks' SummerLeague squad. After the Mavs owner made waves Tuesday night by hinting that he might consider drafting Brittney Griner, the former Baylor star responded to his offerover Twitter.

This is looking like more than just a publicity stunt. Griner is clearly just as open to the idea as Cuban. Questions about whether a woman could cut it in the NBA have been brought up, including doubts expressed by University of Connecticut head coach Geno Auriemma. And while it's unlikely that Griner would actually make an NBA roster, it sounds like she would be more than motivated to prove herself. There doesn't appear to be any kind of downside to an owner like Cuban at least giving her an invite to Summer League or training camp invite.

Let's All Pretend Emma Watson is Her Slutty Role

In the excitement surrounding Emma Watson's first sexy film role in The Bling Ring, British GQ has decided to imagine Watson is her Bling Ring character. Photographer Mark Seliger presents Watson "In Character, Out of Control," "as you've never seen her before," styled as a "thieving Valley vixen" in a midriff-baring freakum dress and with a constellation of tattoos. A savvy choice for the magazine, given the level of excitement over Watson's turn "as a bad, bad girl." For the public, Watson's role will be like the moment when you finally have sex with someone after imagining it a hundred times. But in this case it's the milder — but more titillating — thrill of turning a wholesome starlet into a slut, even temporarily.

It's the same Hollywood bat mitzvah that the stars of SpringBreakers are currently undergoing. (And that the stars of Gleeunderwent. And that Miley Cyrus underwent. And that Xtina underwent when she got "Dirrty." On a vastly smaller scale, male star Zac Efron underwent it when NicoleKidman peed on him.) Though Emma Watson is 22 years old, she won't read as an "adult" until we've seen her as a sex symbol. Though many wish her BlingRing role speaks to some long-buried inner wild child, Watson tells GQ she chose it precisely because she "hated" the character:

Autopsy: 'Buckwild' star Gandee's death accidental

Buckwild star Shain Gandee cause of death have been determined to be accidental and the result of carbon monoxide poisoning, the kanawha country sheriff's Office announced tuesday afternoon.

Last Monday, the three men were found dead inside Shain Gandee'd 1984 Ford Bronco Office. The SUV's tailpipe was submerged in mud when the trio got stuck while off-roading, which likely led to the carbon monoxide poisoning.

No other details from the autopsy were released and the cause of death was described as a 'partial' finding. More details may released in coming days.

The initial police report on the incident said the vehicle and bodies were found by one of Shain's friends who had been searching for him since he vanished over the weekend.

Shain and his uncle were last seen at Larry's Bar in nearby Sissonville around 3 a.m. Sunday. They told acquaintances they were going four-wheeling, also known as "mudding," in Shain's Bronco.

"The vehicle sat unevenly, but upright, and was partially submerged in deep mud. Mud was covering the lower part of the passenger side door of the vehicle, but the driver's side of the vehicle was above the mud," according to the sheriff's report. "The muffler of the vehicle was completely submerged in mud. The Bronco was found next to a ridgetop trail. That section of the trail itself was passable for four-wheel drive vehicles. However, the Bronco was in a mud pit next to the trail. That area is accessed by following the wooded trails for approximately one mile from Shain Gandee'sresidence, near Thaxton Hollow in Sissonville."

Shain, the report said, was seated in the Bronco's driver's seat. The vehicle was removed from the mud pit by a bulldozer, and the bodies were taken to the medical examiner's office.

On Sunday morning, after the Bronco had been found, deputies and members of the Sissonville Volunteer Fire Department used all-terrain vehicles to get to the vehicle, which belonged to the Gandee family.

Filming of Season 2 of Buckwild has been suspended. There is no word yet on when it might resume or be canceled. The MTV reality show follows the lives of nine high-spirited young West Virginians and has been criticized by some for perpetuating "hillbilly" stereotypes.

'Finding Dory' coming in fall 2015

Last Tuesday , Disney announced that its follow-up to 2003's Oscar-winningsplash hit “Finding Nemo” will be titled “Finding Dory” and will focus on the loveable, little blue tang fish voices by EllenDeGeneres. The movie , which will be directed by original “Nemo” co-director Andrew Stanton , will hit theaters on Nov. 25, 2015.

"I have waited for this day for a long, long, long, long, long, long time," DeGeneres said in a release. "I'm not mad it took this long. I know the people at Pixar were busy creating "ToyStory 16." But the time they took was worth it. The script is fantastic. And it has everything I loved about the first one: It's got a lot of heart, it's really funny, and the best part is -- it's got a lot more Dory."

"FindingDory" will apparently take place about a year after the events of "Nemo" Characters including Marlin, Nemo and the "Tank Gang" will all be back, though Pixar didn't specify whether actors including Albert Brooks and Willem Dafoe will return to voice them.

They did, however, say that the story will be partially set along the California coastline, and will feature several new characters -- "including a few who will prove to be a very important part of Dory's life."

"Finding Nemo" reportedly earned $380,843,261 at the domestic box office and an additional $540,900,000 at the international box office, for a total worldwide gross of $921,743,261. That's pretty impressive for a movie about some little fishes that had a production budget of $94 million. It also won the 2003 Academy Award for best animated feature.

The film is the latest in Pixar's plethora of sequels, including three "Toy Story" films and two "Cars" installments, and a prequel to "Monsters Inc.," titled "MonstersUniversity," to be released this summer.

That's all dandy, but DeGeneres may have raised a good point -- a little more Dory, a lot sooner, would have likely gone over just swimmingly with "Nemo" fans.

Tell us: Are you excited for "Finding Dory"? Are you glad that Ellen DeGeneres will have an even bigger role?

White House April Fools Day prank

It was billed as a “special message” from President Barack Obama.

But the president who walked out to the podium barely reached the microphones.

The White House’s AprilFools video turned out to be a dispatch from 9-year-old Robbie Novak, also known as the Kid President. The White House got people to tune in by tweeting, “This morning, the White House released a special video message from the President” with a link to the page.

After stepping to the mikes with “Hail to the Chief” playing, the Kid President says, “You look like were expecting somebody else. AprilFools on all y’all.”

“I’m the kid president, and I hope everyone has an awesome day,” he says, adding: “It’s everyone’s dream to give the world a reason to dance.”

Novak’s videos went viral earlier this year – they’ve been viewed millions of times on YouTube. He told CNN’s “Starting Point” in January his goal is to inspire people to make “the world awesome” and to “be a party.”

Lindsay Lohan: I'm Not Pregnant

Lindsay Lohan wants everyone to relax.

Hours after the starlet tweeted that she was expecting her first child (“It’s official. Pregnant…”), she took to Twitter to clear up the rumor.

“April Fools,” the 26-year-old starlet wrote. “Where’s everyone’s sense of humor?”

Though with Lohan, anything is possible. On March 18, the actress, who now boasts several mug shots for various infractions, accepted a plea deal that requires her to spend 90 days in a rehabilitation facility, stemming from a June 2012 car accident. She has pleaded no contest to recklessdriving and lying to police after crashing her Porsche.

Lohan has also been working. On March 26, she tweeted that she was filming an episode of Charlie Sheen’s FX comedy Anger Management, and two days later, she flew to Brazil.

Who has time to have a baby in the middle of all of that?
