Mickey Mouse is getting a makeover….What is the meaning of this?
On Thursday, Disney unveiled plans to put a little more rogue in the world’s most beloved rodent. We guess that miss bye-bye Minnie and Pluto…After being left virtually untouched since his “Steamboat Willy” days, Mickey is ditching the suit and bow-tie for edgier duds in 2010. The company hopes the change will make The Mouse more marketable in modern day films and video games, according to a scoop featured in The New York Times. In fact, Disney is looking to alter the way Mickey lives in a bid to show the character’s “darker side.” Er — Mickey’s a cartoon, he’s not supposed to have a “darker side.”
Mickey will show off his new look in the video game Epic Mickey, debuting next fall.
China is finally getting its first Disneyland! Mickey Mouse is bound for mainland China after Disneyland received approval to build a theme park in the country’s largest city, according to Forbes.

Said psycho is threatening to cook and eat Fuzzy The Cat unless Miley reopens her account by Nov. 16. This has got to be bogus. If it isn’t, there are no words. Thank goodness, I am an ’80s baby! What the actual hell is wrong with these kids today? Read the rest of this entry »
Apparently, pole-dancing and nude photo scandals don’t go over very well with America’s teens. Who knew?
Miley Cyrus’ once squeaky-clean image has taken another public beating; one of Disney’s hottest stars has been voted the worst celebrity influence of 2009 by the very people who made her a star, tweens and teens, according to an online poll on Wednesday.
The 16-year-old starlet took 42 percent of votes in the poll for AOL’s new JSYK.com (Just So You Know) website aimed at 9-15 year-olds. Miley’s crowning pushed Comeback Queen Britney Spears and controversial rapper Kanye West into second and third places, respectively, in a section on worst celebrity influences of the year.
