Link Round-Up: 2/1

Hello again people who actually look at these things-- It's Monday, but by the time this is going up, Monday is almost over so that's reason to rejoice.

Anyway, it's been awhile since the last post and there has been an entire weekend between! So much new stuff has happened... "Avatar" is number one at the box office, Taylor Swift pulled off a controversial upset at an awards show, and Zac Efron might be going back to HS. Okay so I guess those are all confusing examples, but who are we kidding? You read this for the links if you read it at all.

ROUND 'EM UP

"Avatar" is becoming an empire. It topped the box office for the seventh consecutive weekend yesterday and has now made over $2 billion. It's only a matter of time before people painted blue storm the White House and begin demanding for their trees back. [THR]

The Grammys had their biggest audience in the last six years, thanks I'm sure to the incredible performances put forth by people not called the Black Eyed Peas. [New York Times]

I feel like I should be typing the letters NBC right now, right? CBS finds itself in some warm water that is ready to be thrown into a boil. Some of the commercials they have decided to run, or not to run, have stirred up a little bit of controversy. [Auto Straddle]

Hulu where art thou? Well in the Mac World at least. [EW]

We do know where Tila Tequila is, for better or worse. But thankfully it will not be on Twitter anymore. Apparently that couldn't land her a TV show so she quit because it was too hard. Not really, but maybe it's possible. [E!]

Zac Efron in "High School Musical 4: Spiderman Origins." I'm kidding, but Sony did say this Spidey reboot will begin in those awkward adolescent hallways... Could we have another surprise on our hands? [io9]

That's it for today folks. Keep it real, but not too real. Some things are better left to the imagination, like Lady Gaga's gender.
