Hundred of millions of us have shared seven years worth of adventures with Harry Potter and the question remains: Will there be an 8th? Is that it for Harry Potter? Can the highest earning novelist in history really have that kind of will-power to say goodbye to the beloved characters forever?

Says J.K. Rowling:

“There have been times since finishing, weak moments, when I’ve said ‘Yeah, all right’ to the eighth novel.

“If - and it’s a big if - I ever write an eighth book, I doubt that Harry would be the central character. I feel I’ve already told his story.

“But these are big ifs. Let’s give it ten years.”

TEN YEARS? Is that in real-time or Hogwarts-time? I guess it’s “meantime” as J.K. Rowling is currently working on a political fairytale and an adult novel. I can’t wait for any of it. As a side note, does anyone else think Harry Potter looks sorta like Stephen Colbert?

hmmm…

Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert announced, though reluctantly, that they will return to work on The Daily Show and The Colbert Report Jan. 7th, with our without their writers. This announcement comes on the tail of Conan O’Brien, Jay Leno and Jimmy Kimmel saying that they would go back to work in January.

The writer’s strike has had a big affect on many television programs, but the hardest hit were the late-night talk shows that rely on scripts daily. Stewart and Colbert have been in reruns since the strike began in early November. Though they aren’t happy about their decision, America’s favorite fake news anchors still managed to find the humor in the situation, saying in a statement, “We would like to return to work with our writers. If we cannot, we would like to express our ambivalence, but without our writers we are unable to express something as nuanced as ambivalence.”

David Letterman also hopes to return to work in January; however, he and his World Wide Pants production company have been holding separate talks with writers in hopes of getting them back for their return to regular programming.

He’s been hinting at it for a while now and it’s just been made official - Stephen Colbert just announced that he’s running for President in 2008. Yes, President. It’s beautiful and he’s funnier than all the other candidates combined.
He’ll be running as both a Democrat and a Republican and plans on sweeping both sides of the ballot.
Our inside sources are telling us that he’s considering a variety of potential running mates but he’s actually his own front runner for the VP slot. So it’s looking like Colbert/Colbert 2008.
