Animation appreciation

Firestarter Ember Fury is the coolest-slash-hottest illustrated character of 2009. But what about cool animated characters? Obviously they can't hold a candle (hahaha) to our Ember but here are our favourites...

Stewie
The brightest baby on the block, Family Guy's little man has plans for world domination. He may only be one year old but he's got a deathray and he's not afraid to use it.

Daria
Cynical teen Daria Morgendorffer cut through her classmates with razor-sharp wit in MTV's classic cartoon. The girl who made it cool to be uncool. Don't mess with Daria. She couldn't care less.

Bart Simpson
The original bad boy with serious slingshot skills and the coolest catchphrases of the 90s. Don't have a cow man. Eat my shorts. Genius.

Cartman
South Park's star. Yeah, so everyone hates him. But that's why we love him so much. Almost as much as he loves his cheesy poofs.

Gorillaz
Any of 'em. The greatest virtual band ever.

Cecily von Ziegesar interview

We've just spotted this utterly fabulous interview with the amazing glamourous creator of all things GOSSIP GIRL and IT GIRL - check it out!

Don't panic!

Sad news for Panic at the Disco fans. The band have split in two - the lovely Ryan Ross and Jon Walker deciding to leave for pastures new.

But don't panic just yet. Brendon Urie and Spencer Smith will be soldiering on without them. And Ryan's pretty face shouldn't be away us for too long as Ryan and Jon already have new plans in the pipeline. Phew.
