Link Round-Up: 2/4

sheep

What's up everybody? It's Thursday again and I'm still trying to get in the habit of posting these link summaries on a regular basis. So bear with me, but they'll keep coming as best as I can. WEEKEND printed today so if you haven't seen it, pick up a copy as soon as you're done reading this. Without further ado:

ROUND 'EM UP

So much for Zac Efron. It appears Sony is turning to the relatively unknown Logan Lerman to play Peter Parker in Marc Webb's 'Spidey' reboot. You may know him from such things as the upcoming 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians,' 'Gamer' or the WB series 'Jack and Bobby.' Or you might not. [Hitfix]

On a more somber note, the coroner report on Brittany Murphy's death has been revealed. It is said that she died of pneumonia and prescription drugs. Details within the read. [TV Guide]

So Conan to Fox might not be as open-and-closed as many think. Rupert Murdoch said today the Irishman won't be joining the network unless they're "confident of making a profit." We'll see how this goes, but he might just be covering all his bases here. [TV by the Numbers]

Another crazy-haired audacious host is in the news today: Howard Stern. His XM contract is up this year and there hasn't been a lot of talk thus far as to where he will go. His last deal was lucrative but who listens to satellite radio, honestly? [THR]

Are you sick of the FreeCreditReport.com guys? Apparently some other people are too. A Wisconsin woman is suing the company for allegedly false claims made in their commercials. Stunner, something that's supposedly free but has a catch? Someone didn't, or can't, read the fine print. [Huffington Post]

Here's a scary one: GQ's big-time story on how hazardous cell phone usage might really be to you and your brain. I guess there is a connection between Paris Hilton's idiocy and the fact that everytime you see her she's on the phone. But seriously it's quite a read. [GQ]

Donovan McNabb and TO are friends again. Now only if he can get back on Ray Lewis' good side. [Deadspin]

Viagra for everybody! (No, seriously, everybody.) [io9]

That's it for today folks. Keep it real, but not too real. Brad Pitt's beard might eat you.
