• Neil Gaiman confirms he is still hard at work on the pilot for an HBO adaptation of American Gods. We get super excited. (Twitter)

• The Spice Girls won’t be reuniting for the Queen. /sadface (Digital Spy)

BBC? I have a merchandizing opportunity for you, based on this t-shirt. (Geeks of Doom)

• Cartoon Brew interviews Amanda Forbis and Wendy Tilby about their Oscar nominated short animation Wild Life.
