Japanese baseball superstar Yu Darvish has just said he plans to come to the U.S. to play in the Major League.

This should be exciting news for the MLB, for several reasons: while Darvish is an accomplished and talented pitcher, he's also well-known in Japan as a media-friendly heartthrob whose photogenic mug appears in ads across the country.

His back story is interesting: the son of an Iranian father and Japanese mother, he was often harassed as a foreigner by his peers. He went on to become a star baseball athlete in high school and was an instant hit with female fans after joining Japan's Pacific League and signing on with the Nippon Ham Fighters. 

Madonna will team up with Canada's Cirque du Soleil team for the 2012 Super Bowl game. In addition to Cirque, another Montreal-based company, the Moment Factory, will be working with the eternal Material Girl to make for some cool Canadian content at the event.

Herman Cain quoted, of all things, a Pokémon movie in his speech to suspend his presidential campaign today.

"I believe these words came from the Pokémon movie," Cain said, addressing crowds in Atlanta.

"Life can be a challenge. Life can seem impossible. It's never easy when there's so much on the line. But you and I can make a difference. There's a mission just for you and me....Just look inside and you will find just what you can do."

The lines actually come from a Donna Summer song called "The Power of One", which was in Pokémon: The Movie 2000. In the past, he attributed this quote vaguely to a "poet", but this time around he gave proper credit to the animated film.

James Bond has made it clear that he's tired of "keeping up with the Kardashians."

Daniel Craig, who's starring in the upcoming thriller The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, called the socialites "f**king idiots" in a recent interview with the UK edition of GQ.

“Look at the Kardashians, they’re worth millions … I don’t think they were that badly off to begin with, but now look at them. You see that and you think, ‘What, you mean all I have to do is behave like a f**king idiot on television and then you’ll pay me millions?’ I’m not judging it,” he said, adding, “Well, I am, obviously.”
