Is Clint’s Movie Oscar Bait After All?: Rumors fly that Clint Eastwood’s Gran Turino project isn’t a Dirty Harry movie, but in fact a sensitive drama about a man (Eastwood) learning to accept Hmong immigrants. Of course, eventually the man kills them all. [Gold Derby/LAT]
Monks Get Record Deal From Universal: A group of monks got a record deal when Universal execs saw video of their Gregorian chant on YouTube.

Seriously, look at the picture and try NOT to think about how fun it would be to have all your friends over to get baked and watch The Matrix in that bad boy. [Luxist]
