Making the most of the beautiful weather, Ashley Tisdale and Haylie Duff were spotted going for a hike in Los Angeles yesterday (June 7). The "High School Musical" chick and the "Napoleon Dynamite" dame took to the trails of Runyon Canyon to get in some exercise and conversation. On Monday (June 6) Tizzie took to her Twitter to share some very special news- it was her puppy Maui's birthday. Ashley tweeted, "its Maui's birthday today!! i got her some yummy dog treats for the special occasion. I will share some pics tonight!" "Dazed & Confused" is one of my all-time favorite movies. In college we quoted at least a half-dozen lines from it almost every time we attended a party. Among movies with no plot, it's the greatest of all time. (Sorry Napoleon Dynamite, D&C has you beat here). The entire film takes place in Austin, Texas [...] "Dazed & Confused" is one of my all-time favorite movies.

(Sorry Napoleon Dynamite, D&C has you beat here). The entire film takes place in Austin, Texas [...] **EXCLUSIVE:** Disney XD, the cable network targeting boys 6-14, has handed a pilot order to _Gulliver Quinn_, a live-action comedy headlined by _Napoleon Dynamite_ star Jon Heder. Written by Dan Kopelman (_Malcolm In the Middle_), the project centers on Gulliver Quinn (Heder), a grown man enrolled in the seventh grade after his family returns from a 15 year research expedition. Rob Schrab will direct the pilot, which is now casting the other roles. Heder and Kopelman are executive producing with veteran tween series producer Stan Rogow (Lizzie McGuire). "It's an absolute coup for Disney XD to be working with Jon -- he is a tremendous comedic talent and Dan Kopelman's brilliant script is the perfect project to showcase his quirky sense of humor," said Adam Bonnett, SVP, Original Programming, Disney Channels. After living in a cave in remote northwest India where his mom and dad were making a documentary film on a rare tortoise, Gulliver grew up acquiring awesome skills such as lightning-quick reflexes and the ability to see in the dark. Now the family has come back to their suburban home, its 1996 décor, years of stacked up mail and a 28-year- old son ... Catch your first glimpse of the new FOX shows Alcatraz, Allen Gregory, New Girl, Terra Nova, The Finder, I Hate My Teenage Daughter and Napoleon Dynamite. [...] Fox just announced its primetime schedule for next season. One new drama, _Terra Nova_, three comedies, _New Girl, I Hate My New Daughter _and the animated _Allen Gregory _as well as Simon Cowell's reality show _X Factor _are launching in the fall, with dramas _Alcatraz_ and Bones spinoff_ Finder_ as well as animated comedy _Napoleon Dynamite_ joining in midseason. As we predicted, prehistoric drama _Terra Nova_ will lead the network's Monday lineup at 8 PM, pushing veteran _House _to 9 PM. _House_ will return to 8 PM in midseason to help launch the J.J. Abrams-produced_ Alcatraz_ behind it. As expected, Fox is keeping the Tuesday comedy block, with _New Girl _joining _Glee_ and _Raising Hope_, and_ I Hate My Teenage Daughter_ will launch behind the _X factor _performance show. Also staying put is _American Idol _on Wednesdays and Thursdays, with its airing pattern mirrored in the fall by _X Factor_. Additionally, Fox announced that the next season of _American Idol _will kick off on Sunday, Jan 22 after the NFC Championship game, the first time the veteran reality series has had a season premiere outside of its regular nights. _America's Most Wanted_ will no longer ... Helium balloon rides to the edge of space seem to be getting more popular these days. Anyone can do it, so a bunch of kids are. It's the new Mentos-and- Diet-Coke thing to do. Still, it's fun, so here are few interesting "space" projects from kids. * A Peep is taking a ride on a weather balloon to the edge of space -- a somewhat new form or Peep torture from a 9yo boy. Insert a pun here about how there's no sound in a vacuum -- hence no peeps in space. [url] * High school students from around Las Vegas have documented their own helium-filled-balloon-to-space project -- which cost them about $75. Pretty soon, kids are going to need a license to buy helium balloons. [url] * Some New Jersey high school kids who sent up their own weather balloon also got accepted to fly onboard a NASA Microgravity aircraft to teach them about helium balloon buoyancy in other gravity environments. Lucky! [/Napoleon Dynamite voice] [url] * The NASA Florida Space Grant Consortium has sponsored several student experiments to fly aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour. Endeavour ... Fox has just given an early second season pickup to animated comedy _Bob's Burgers._ This is the second scripted series to be renewed for next season, following the January pickup of another freshman comedy, _Raising Hope. _After a big premiere boosted by an NFL overrun_, Bob's Burgers _ settled into a so- so ratings territory, posting a 2.2 in adults 18-49 for its most recent original. Fox's decision to renew _Bob's Burgers_ is also interesting as the network has 2 new animated series on tap for next season, _Allen Gregory _and _Napoleon Dynamite. _**** In the movie world you don't necessarily need big budgets to get big returns, as this list proves beyond all doubt. Big budget flicks might seem like a sure thing, but audiences decide with their feet. Avatar might have pulled in $2.7 billion,...

That's good news for Kickstarter, because Heder probably could have just called up a few Hollywood buddies instead.
