Actor Mickey Rourke hasn't appeared on the HTG big screen since 2009's White Wolf: Blood Feud (alternate title -- White Wolf: Blood Fued). To take a step toward regaining the spotlight, Rourke entered the Happening office this afternoon to say hello.

Unfortunately, the 55-year-old didn't move after reaching inside.

Bob: Hey, when did we get the wax statue of Mickey Rourke?

Buzz: I dunno. He's kinda scary. Maybe we should put him outside.

Bob: Don't! The sun will melt him!

Producers/studios using Mr. Rourke in the near future are invited to reply with information about the project.

Buzz: That wasn't a wax figure? Fooled me. Gosh, I hope he finds work. Makeup and Botox cost money, I hear.

Leaving the High School Faster than a Speeding Bullet (By The Pit)

When most people graduate from high school, they go to college. But that is not the case for the Hollywood High "slut" Adrian Lee (known in the real world as Francia Raisa). She is moving on from the hallowed halls to a medical lab in the Flip Brother's DC Comics Universe. She will be portraying Debbie Cole, a crime scene investigator who works beside Barry Allen in the Central City PD medical lab. The role is a small guest spot in the third episode of DC Showcase, titled "The Fastest Man Alive." This is Raisa's debut HTG role.

Written by Kris Greet and edited by show producer RS, the episode features the origin of The Flash, a red and yellow-clad hero that can run superfast. How will it be handled? Will we be seeing any of his rogue villains or any other DC heroes? You'll have to check out the episode in week 4 of session 11 to see. Also guest starring in the new episode is Laura Prepon and John Hurt.

Event Prize Switcheroo

A Frankenstein monster mask was changed to a Bishop (from the movie Aliens) action figure at the last minute for the recent Halloween Trick or Treat Event.

"The swap seemed like the thing to do" said the anonymous event organizer.

What D'Ya Know?

"Bishop's writing another dramatic film and it features an appearance by Kat Dennings, not me!"

No Mention of Ice Cream Bars Coming Back. Sorry 'Bout That.

HTG Big Wig (Powie!) Visited by Actress, Can't Find Cache of Chocolate Pudding in Pantry

Of all of the weird happenings in HTG Hollywood over the last seven years, few have been able to top what Ritchie Steven has encountered recently. The more vocal of the Flip Brothers decided to visit his rowboat, named "Dame." Sitting in the small craft was actress Kirstie Alley.

"He was freaked out" stated an observor from a nearby craft. "RS turned around and headed home. Kirstie followed him. I hear that she pays him occasional visits at his mansion, then returns to the rowboat for the night. Strange, huh."

Although calls to Flip Brothers Studio have gone unanswered, it's believed that the former Fat Actress star, who recently lost a great deal of weight, is giving diet advice to the thin Ritchie.

"That's like comedian Louie Anderson giving lessons on seducing the ladies" commented another boat owner at the HTG Yacht Club. "Maybe there's something else going on. Who knows."

With other celebrities making themselves more available to HTG residents, will we be seeing more of them staying with the city's filmmakers?

"I wouldn't mind Blake Lively paying a visit to my yacht, if you know what I mean" a third boat owner commented.
