Well it looks like 25 seasons in, 'Survivor' might still have a few casting tricks up its sleeve. Namely Blair from 'The Facts of Life'!!! And former Major League Baseball MVP Jeff Kent, as well. (Sorry, Jeff. You don't warrant multiple exclamation points.) Plus, some guy who can only talk about his hair, and an actual cancer survivor.

Director Tony Scott, best known for the mega-hits 'Top Gun,' 'Beverly Hills Cop 2' and 'Days of Thunder,' died from an apparent suicide on Sunday when he jumped from the Vincent Thomas Bridge in San Pedro, CA.

Esteemed thespian and movie icon Alan Rickman has played a lot of villains. Being such an evil presence requires a heavy hand in just about everything he does, including some of the most mundane activities. He could make playing with a litter of happy puppies seem like the most sinister thing a man can do. He brings that same gravitas to this series of artistic slow-motion videos.

The members of the US women's gymnastics team have become huge celebrities, thanks to their gold-winning performance at the Olympics. But they're still teenagers, which means it's time for them to get summer internships. (After all, you can only pad your resume so much with Olympic medals.)

Good news, ladies and gents. Your night terrors are over -- the Priceline Negotiator is back with a new commercial, and he wasn't horribly disfigured in that bus fire you've been dreaming about ever since it aired in January!!

Before all the celebrity chefs with their agents and their fancy hair there was Julia Child. The Grand Dame of American cooking would have been 100 today.

When it was announced that Republican Paul Ryan would be running as Mitt Romney's sidekick for vice president, the world noticed a few things. One, the guy's name is two first names and that is just plain ridiculous. Two, this dude is in shape, and, three, his surname shares a first name with American superstar and internet sensation Ryan Gosling. Oh Ryan, how do we love thee? Let us meme the ways

Fresh off her team and all-around gymnastics gold medals at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Gabby Douglas stopped by 'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.' And she was greeted by a fan  -- the First Lady herself, Michelle Obama.

Attention obsessive fans of Ryan Gosling -- are you ready to add more wood to the fire burning inside of you? Well, the days of our youth are coming back to us in full Gosling-fashion. The coloring books of our past were filled with houses, dogs and fire hydrants. However, the coloring books of today are filled with... Ryan Gosling!

Ron Palillo, who played sweathog Arnold Horshack on 'Welcome Back, Kotter,' has died at 63.

Ever heard of Crocs? You know, those ugly foam clog-like shoes? Well, apparently the guy who founded the company was able to make some money with those things and buy himself a Porsche. And years later (on August 11th to be precise), he crashed his car and blamed it all on his "girlfriend," Taylor Swift.

Here's a "thriller" of a tale. A Chicago man exercised "human nature" by placing his car windshield up for auction after bird droppings on it resembled the visage of the late Prince of Pop Michael Jackson. Mama say what now?

With all of their members on the wrong side of 35, it's a bit weird to still think of the Spice Girls as girls. But the fab fivesome proved they still had some "spice" left during their performance at the closing ceremony of the London Olympics Sunday.

Also, it's somewhat unusual for an actor to play a really famous person who's about their same age in real life.
