There’s another zombie movie coming out this summer, but luckily it seems to be more 28 Days Later and less House of the Dead. I think these zombies may be aliens, too. That may be too much excitement. Check out the Undead trailer. [via Airbag]

And lest you think downloading Undead weeks before opening is a good way to show your support of the walking dead, remember, zombies make movies. Don’t leave their families without brains for dinner. (Apparently, fluffers and writers do, too, but Undead has many more zombies than writers. Or fluffers.) [via Waxy]

The BBC says that a certain mosquito in Cambodia not only carries death-inducing Malaria, but also can somehow restart the heart and vital organs of its victim for up to two hours after death.

The individual behaves in extremely violent ways from what is believed to be a combination of brain damage and a chemical released into blood during “resurrection.”

Spooky! I have to say, this takes the cake for crazy ways to die (or not die, as the case may be). I wonder if there’s video of the zombies. There must be, somewhere. Is it morbid that I want to see it? Probably. I should just wait a few months. By the fall, it will be all the rage in celebrity suicides, I’m sure.

(Cut to Katie Holmes, freshly dumped by Tom Cruise, on a rebound trip to Cambodia, she purposefully lays out next to standing water, hoping to attract a viable companion. Cut to Katie, now a zombie, swatting at the cameraman. Do I hear “braaaaains?” Cut to America, yawning.)

The Cambodians want to study the mosquito to see how it works and what its medicinal uses might be. Meanwhile, Condi’s ready to lob bombs at them, terrified that they’ll reveal that Bush is, in fact, a mosquito-spawned zombie.

Podcasting is hot. But it just got hotter. Paris Hilton invites you to join her on “The Paris Hilton Podcast — Countdown to House of Wax,” beginning on April 29. Join Paris and friends as she shops, parties, poses and publicizes in the days leading up to the May 6 opening of House of Wax.

Come on, subscribe. You know you want to. There’s even a House of Wax branded iPodder, for the uninitiated. If you’re curious, but just can’t bring yourself to outwardly support The Slutty One, Adam Curry will be interviewing her on his show next week. He’s currently taking submissions of questions: adam at curry dot com, put “Paris Questions” in your subject. It’s great that Adam scored that interview, tho personally I’d rather hear Madge interview Paris. Can you hear the cunt-o-sphere imploding?

It looks like she’ll only be podcasting for the week leading up to the release, and yet I think this is an important development for podcasting. For one, it’s the first time (to my knowledge) that a commercial podcast is being produced to promote a product. More importantly, it’s the first podcast by a major celebrity. (Adam Curry aside, of course. I don’t think eve he would argue that he currently ranks as high as Paris.)

Personally, I just hope they let her do her thing and go all-out. I want unedited, no censoring. I’m not holding out for it. It is a marketing ploy, after all. Paris Hilton has become such a cartoon character. An amusing one, to be sure, who will likely provide hours of campy audio entertainment starting next week. But wouldn’t it be great to get a glimpse of the humanity under the wax?
