You might have had fun this past weekend, yelling Asher Roth's "I Love College" at your buddies across the beer pong table, but it was no such party for "Harry Potter" star Joshua Herdman.

Herdman, who plays the Slytherin bully Gregory Goyle, was caught red-eyed and red-handed, smoking a joint big enough to rival the famous Cheech and Chong stogie from "Up in Smoke."

But this isn't the first "Harry Pothead" to emerge from the cast. Jamie Waylett, who plays Vincent Crabbe, pleaded guilty about a month ago to growing pot in his bedroom.

What kind of potion requires that kind of herb? And, more importantly, what happened to the clean-cut, bright-eyed and adventuresome group of young wizards who most of us underclassmen grew up watching.

Chris Brown, R&B star and celebrity ass-kicker, appeared on Larry King Live a few weeks ago for the first time since beating his former girlfriend, Rihanna.

In the interview on CNN, Brown assured King of his nonviolent tendencies as he sat accompanied by his mother and lawyer. Real gangster, dude.

When he was asked if he remembered doing it, he replied, "I don't. It's like it's crazy to me."

First of all, what an intelligent way to talk on national television…not. Second, what kind of drugs do you have to take to not remember beating your young, hot celebrity girlfriend to a pulp?

I'm sure she remembers it quite vividly.

What's the latest thing that nerds and toddlers have in common? Well they'll both be looking to Disney for their entertainment needs.

Last week, Disney bought Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion. That means all your old favorites like Spider-Man and X-Men are now technically playing bitch to, you guessed it, Mickey Mouse.

Picture the Hulk bringing coffee to Mickey in the office or Goofy as the newest addition to the Fantastic Four. Doesn't that make you cringe?

But really, if I see Donald fighting crime alongside Spider-Man in theaters next summer, I'm going to cry.

This kind of crap would never happen in Justice League.
