Charlize Theron Offers Ninja Star Skills to Brandon Flowers

· Brandon Flowers, the Killers frontman who's gone solo as of late, was captured by ninjas in a sepia-tinged neighborhood. Wait. Silly us. That's just his new music video! Ah! It kind of makes sense now. To help him escape from the ninja assassins in the clip for "Crossfire," director (and Verge alum) Nash Edgerton recruited Oscar-winning ninja star enthusiast Charlize Theron. Considering Brandon Flowers is known for his '80s throwback shtick, I think it's fair to nickname his Charlize video "Come on, Aileen." [YouTube]

· Saw VII is now called Saw 3-D: The Traps Come Alive. Who's writing these now? R.L. Stine? [Cinematical]

· Mel Gibson is under investigation on domestic violence charges. Yikes. Someone in your office wins $20. [TV Guide]

· Jaleel White, also known as Steve Urkel, is under investigation for battery. Yikes. Cops are reportedly asking, "Did he do thaaaaat?" [TMZ]

· Lastly, whoop-de-doo: Glee has confirmed it's doing a Britney Spears episode. I expect the Lea Michele "Lucky" rendition to hit YouTube first. [ONTD]
