"American Idol" runner-up Adam Lambert's new single, which will be in the disaster movie "2012", is drawing comparisons to Aerosmith's disaster-movie song "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing."

I don't really think it sounds like Aerosmith, but I can see why people are making the comparison. Aerosmith's song is a lot better. I'm an Adam Lambert fan, and I thought he should have won American Idol last season, but after a couple listens of this song, all I can think is it is over-produced and drowns out his vocals. Maybe it will grow on me more. When the album comes out Nov. 24,- I hope there is more depth than this song.

So what do you think? Hit or miss?

Here at the Beehive, we decided to waste time today on the Create your own "Simpsons" character tool at the "Simpsons" movie page (you can also role the dice to make random characters).

So here's what happens when the Beehive meets the "Simpsons:"

So I''ve been a little slow getting back into the swing of things after vegging out last week on vacation (aka drinking lots of beer and eating too much). The week started off with a trip to Denver to see my brother and his family, including a stop at the Denver-Dallas NFL game, and ended by feeding my "Star Wars" addiction.

So here are a few pictures from my trek to Arco Arena for the "Star Wars in Concert" tour, which included an exhibit of props/characters/scenes from the movies. It the whole thing was really cool. The orchestra was fun, and really into it (a lot less stuffy than your typical orchestra experience), plus there are lots of movie montages that retold the story, narration from C3P0 and pyrotechnics. They even played an encore, giving Vader a little more love. I highly recommend catching this show. I hope it comes to Fresno down to road.

UPDATE: The investigation finished, and a kid was behind the poll.

ORIGINAL ENTRY: This headline caught my attention this morning: "Secret Service probing Facebook poll on Obama." Here's the first paragraph:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. Secret Service is investigating an online survey that asked whether people thought President Barack Obama should be assassinated, officials said Monday.

What do you think: Is this poll question OK? Offensive? Should it have been reviewed? Is it worthy of investigating as a threat?

Discuss.

I've been a bit behind bringing you photos from the world's Fashion Week runways. So here's a roundup of some of the crazy looking clothes being sent down the runways in Paris, London and Madrid this week. We'll start with the men: Fellas, it's not getting much better for you.

Here's the tease to the Fresno Grizzlies and Parker's off-season shenanigans:

This ad is creating some controversy. What do you think?

UPDATE: So, I got word this morning, that people really got behind the "Bra Banner" and the organizers have too many bras. In fact, they have so many that they ran out of room on the canvas banner and had to add extra canvas. It apparently is really heavy and looks fabulous, but if they take any more bras it would be impossible to hang. So, if you were planning to decorate a bra, or if you just want to help in another way, you can buy tickets to the Pink Show or participate in another Breast Cancer Awareness Month event.

ORIGINAL POST: This is one of the coolest fundraisers I've seen: Art meets the brassiere.

It's all part of The Pink Show, an annual event for breast-cancer awareness and other women's issues organized by local artist/photographer Cynthia Manuszak. This year's event is a benefit concert Oct. 3 at the Tower Theatre, which will feature performances by Patrick Contreras, Steve Ono, Lance Canales and Martin Virmontes, plus lots of other stuff. Tickets are $20 and available from the Tower Theatre Box Office.

Shock rocker Alice Cooper is bringing his "Theatre of Death" tour -- that promises "unbelievable thrills and chills" -- to the Saroyan Theatre on Tuesday, Oct. 27. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show is at 8 p.m.

Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. Monday and cost $39.75 and $49.75. Tickets are available at all Ticketmaster locations and at the Fresno Convention & Entertainment Center Box Office.

Cooper last performed in Fresno in October 2007. His last album, "Along Came a Spider," was released in 2008.

I have many friends who count "The Wizard Of Oz" as their favorite movie (it scared the crap out of me as a kid) and who will be thrilled to snatch up a copy of the new Blu-ray edition of the movie coming out Tuesday. For those who want to get a jump -- and be part of a one-night marketing event -- you can see the remastered version tonight on the big screen.

For $10, you can catch the movie at 7 p.m. at Edwards Fresno Stadium 22 at River Park and at Main Place Stadium Cinema in Merced.

I can't make tonight's showing (going to piano lessons), but it sounds like fun. It marks the film's 70th anniversary and also features behind-the-scenes footage, home movies and archival interviews with the cast and crew.

The last time I watched Oz was at a laser-light show where they played "Dark Side of The Moon" over the beginning of the movie. It was cool and a lot less scary than I remember as a kid. I guess I will have to check out the Blu-ray editon.

Oh, and for all you "Wizard of Oz" fans, mark your calendars for this International Wizard of Oz Club event coming to Fresno State next year.
