A New Oscar Curse?! Is James Franco's Rise of the Planet of the Apes Doomed?
James Franco is done with the Oscars.
But the Oscars may not be done with him.
You've heard of the Curse of Oscar host, yes?
The Summer of the Broken Celebrity Engagement: Coincidence…or Curse?
So much for the long, hot summer…
The respective relationships of Jesse James, Kristin Cavallari and Hugh Hefner have all cooled; each's planned trip down the aisle iced.
Should a red-flag warning be issued to other celebrity couples? Are these the danger months for grooms- and brides-to-be?
Did Amy Winehouse Suffer the Curse of the 27 Club?
Jim Morrison died at 27, like Janis Joplin died at 27, like Jimi Hendrix died at 27, like Kurt Cobain died at 27.
Like Amy Winehouse died at 27.
Are rock and pop gods cursed to die at that specific age?
Was Kate Middleton Behind News of the World Shutdown?
It's no mystery who killed the News of the World. Owner Rupert Murdoch pulled the trigger, announcing that Sunday's issue, shockingly, will be his 168-year-old newspaper's last.
As for who wanted the News of the World dead—that's more complicated.
Kate Middleton. Hugh Grant. Sienna Miller. Even that guy from Hamlet 2. They had the motive, if not the wherewithal to orchestrate the paper's demise.
So, did they?
Do Superman and Batman Not Want You to Know If Green Lantern Is God-Awful?

When Katie Couric inked an afternoon talk-show deal with ABC, General Hospital's iffy future got iffier.
And the ailing daytime-drama industry got closer to death.

Dark Knight Rises Viral Videos: What Do They Mean? (And Are They Even Real?)
Has the Dark Knight Rises' viral campaign risen on YouTube?

Let's take a look at the channel that's got Christopher Nolan watchers buzzing—and Conspiracy Corner scouring police codes in Bane, er, sorry, in vain:
UPDATE!
Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Trailer: "Leaked" or Leaked?
UPDATE: Sorry, conspiracy theorists, Sony says, no, the studio did not post the trailer on YouTube.
__________
Is it an unauthorized leak, or is it a publicity-seeking plant?
Suspicious sorts think they know who's behind the pirated-looking Girl With the Dragon Tattoo trailer on YouTube—and they don't think it's Dutch pirates.
May 21 Apocalypse Alert! Five Things to Know About Judgment Day (All Three or So of Them)
You're listening to "It's the End of the World As We Know It." You're watching 2012. You're, well, confused.
Why are you celebrating doomsday this week? Aren't you supposed to be firing up the R.E.M. next year?
A primer to our upcoming day(s) of reckoning:
Is Wonder Woman Cursed?
It wasn't you, Wonder Woman. It was NBC.
That's the gist of what a network exec told reporters yesterday when asked why the Peacock didn't pick up its highly touted superhero pilot for the new fall season.
But, frankly, Conspiracy Corner is still always suspicious…
