Green Ranger goes MMA
I recently did a post on the where the surviving original Power Rangers are. Turns out that 35-years-old Jason David Frank (The guy who wore more colors than Zorro the Gay Blade) is now a MMA fighter. He is a 6th degree black belt recently signed a deal with a new management team with hopes of ultimately stepping inside the cage.
Here is his bio from You Bent My Wookie
“Frank began training in martial arts at the age of four, earning a black belt by age 12 and became an instructor. With his knowledge of many different styles of martial arts, Frank collected the most practical applications, modified them with his own philosophies and created his own blend of American Karate, “Toso Kune Do”. Most recently, on June 28, 2003, he was inducted into the World Karate Union Hall of Fame. Frank has a sixth degree black belt and owns, as of 2007, four karate schools under Rising Sun Karate, which includes the school Red Dragon Karate, where he initially started his training. The RSKA teaches a style of Toso Kune Do, which Frank is the founder of.

Artist Sketches A Bust
A real life superhero. Not only does Chris Weston draw comics for for Marvel, DC, Wildstorm, and 2000 AD (Judge Dredd), he also fights crime. He reports, in his blog.
that he witnessed a robbery in his local bank. He immediately went home, sketched the criminal, and brought the sketches to the police. He reports:
"I held up my drawings, and the policeman's eyes widened with astonishment! 'That's him!' he spluttered," wrote Weston. "Seems they'd already picked up a suspect who matched my drawings exactly. I then spent the afternoon giving a statement ... but I can't really expand on the situation any further than that for obvious reasons."

I'll bet that if this had happened in the 1990s, the police would still be looking for an extremely muscular man with feathered hair, bad feet, and an incredibly large gun.

Could This Be the Making of CHANA
The Second superman related cast member joins the cast of Chuck. First, Brandon Routh's is signed on. Now, Michael Ausiello is announcing that Smallville's Kristin Kreuk is joining Chuck for multiple episodes. In case you don't fly a lot, Kristin Kruek's last movie was The Legend of Chun Lee (sorry that was mean—even for me).
