Joss Whedon plans to enrage all anti-abortion groups in one fell swoop by giving Buffy - the Slayer, The Chosen One - a choice as to whether she will abort an unwanted child or not. It looks like Buffy will go through with it and while citing the glorification of 'young and pregnant' on TV, Whedon is actively taking a deliberate stance towards pro-choice hot on the heels of the political drama unfolding from Obama's recent agenda on Planned Parenthod and Medical Insurance.
You can read the whole article from The Guardian but we want to hear from Buffy fans what they think of this story development. Does this seem like a Buffy thing to do? Is this a Dark Horse Buffy but not a TV Buffy? Can Joss discuss issues more indepth liek sexuality and (un)planned pregnancy in the comics that he couldn't onTV. Drop a comment and share your thoughts!

Well timed for all the post-Grammys water cooler talk, "Part of Me" is now available on iTunes. Check out the song via You Tube, and re-watch Perry's Grammys performance below:

There have been a couple of sneak peaks and Twitpics from the set of the upcoming 23rd James Bond movie, Skyfall, but the above photo released today is the first "official" look at the next adventure of England's top spy, who appears a little scruffier than usual. James Bond with a beard? Intriguing.
Directed by Sam Mendes, the 23rd James Bond film finds 007′s loyalty to M (Judi Dench) tested as her past comes back to haunt her. When MI6 comes under attack, Bond (Daniel Craig) must track down and destroy the threat, no matter what the personal cost.
Skyfall, opens October 26 in the U.K. and November 9 in the United States. Along with Craig and Dench the film co-stars Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw, Albert Finney, Bérénice Marlohe, Naomie Harris, Helen McCrory and Javier Bardem.
