ABC Family’s got a new half-hour comedy set to premiere later this month. Sophie centers on a woman who has everything and all of it comes crashing down, leaving her to pick up the pieces. We’ve got a video promo and some photos from the premiere episode, which airs on Monday, March 23rd (9:30 – 10:00 PM ET/PT).

Hoan Ton-That, the parodically Left Coast-y San Francisco coder linked to an earlier virus, appears to have resurfaced with a new website, Fastforwarded.com, which aims to coax passwords from users.

The new site appears to be identical, save for the name, to ViddyHo.com, a site which spread via instant messenger. The messages, generated automatically by the ViddyHo worm, promised a video once the user followed a link and logged in using a Gmail username and password. The worm then logged into that user's account and blasted everyone on his or her contact list with new messages.

HappyAppy, Ton-That's iPhone-app startup, has a copyright notice on the page. Here's its FAQ:

What is fastforwarded.com?

Fast Forwarded is the easiest way to share content with your friends on instant messenger networks like AIM, ICQ, MSN and GTalk.

Is fastforwarded.com a phishing site?

No. We do not store your passwords to the Instant Message networks (like MSN, ICQ, AIM, Gtalk, etc...).

Did fastforwarded.com use to be viddyho.com?

Yes. We had a bug in our code that would send everyone a video when they logged in

I have a question!

Please email us at happyappyinc@gmail.com. We do listen and reply.

Nice try. The makers of Safari and Firefox already list Fastforwarded.com as a "phishing" site, one that tries to fraudulently extract passwords from users. After the ViddyHo worm spread, police began looking for Ton-That. This new attack suggests they never nabbed the hacker, whose code is still at large on the Internet.

After a long development process and plenty of high-stakes studio drama, Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson's "Tintin" is finally underway -- blazing new filmmaking frontiers as it goes.

At SXSW to promote his upcoming teen thriller Disturbia, actor Shia LaBeouf continued to deny reports made in the March 8 issue of Hollywood trade Variety that the thesp was "in final talks" to play the son of the globe-trotting archaeologist in Indiana Jones IV. "It's nuts. It's like these rumors are spiraling out of control," proclaimed LaBeouf. "Look, there's no deal on the table. If it was on the table, I would love to. It's like a dream come true to be in that project, but it's a rumor at this point. These things happen, but it's wild that it was in Variety; it's weird." While no stranger to casting gossip, LaBeouf is holding out hope, however, that this one may come to fruition. "I've been through it before, though" explained the actor. "I was rumored to be Jimmy Olson in Superman Returns. I've been through the rumor fallout thing before, so I'm not putting too much weight in it. You hope, of course. But is it solidified? No

The updated version of Inside 9/11, the National Geographic Channel's Emmy-nominated documentary, is being re-broadcast on March 25 at 7:00 p.m. Since the original four-hour miniseries first aired, new details about the tragedy have sprung up, including the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui; information on Able Danger, the intelligence team assigned to track al Qaeda; new video of the attack on the Pentagon; audio from Flight 93; the CIA's dismantling of the bin Laden unit; the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi; and new video from bin Laden himself.

It's been over five years since the events of September 11, 2001, and I can understand how some might be sick of hearing about it, but it's not surprising that the aftershocks of an event of this magnitude would still be felt even today. I'd like to think my ongoing curiosity is natural and not morbid, but I still want to learn as much as I can about everything that happened that day, and the people and events it connects to.

How goth is it to announce the finality of your new album in advance, setting it up as a funeral rather than a return? Bauhaus may have disappointed many with the briefness of its reunion, but at least the seminal, black-nail-polished quartet produced something of lasting value in their 18-day recording session. Each of the ten songs was recorded as a first take, with the full band playing in one room, and it’s no surprise to learn that, given their darkly jamm-y tone. There’s less disco here than on The Sky's Gone Out, but most of us want to dance less as we get older. Instead, vocalist Peter Murphy starts with a phrase or word that he repeats over and over ("adrenalin," "international bullet-proof talent," "the dog's a vapour") providing the title of a song. Then Daniel Ash wraps sharp, titanium-colored guitar phrases around Murphy’s attempts to wring the most out of each variation in emphasis while Kevin Haskins and David J lay a solid, but not stolid, foundation of bass and drums.
