‘Summer Heights High’ Spinoff Coming To HBO In August
VIA: If you’ve ever had the pleasure of watching Chris Lilley’s hilarious hit show ‘Summer Heights High’ there’s a good chance you know and love Jonah Takalua, one of three ridiculous and hilarious characters Lilley played on the comedy series.
That’s why it will likely come as fantastic news that Lilley’s new project is a spinoff series exclusively following teenage Jonah’s vulgar and irreverent life . The 39-year old Australian comedian will write and star in ‘Jonah From Tonga,’ which will premiere on HBO this coming August.
Check out the official trailer above, which has me very, very excited.

Donald Glover left midway through last season, and Jonathan Banks (who was a guest star for most of season 5) will be otherwise occupied with AMC’s “Better Call Saul.”
“I am very pleased that ‘Community’ will be returning for its predestined sixth season on Yahoo,” Harmon said in a statement. “I look forward to bringing our beloved NBC sitcom to a larger audience by moving it online. I vow to dominate our new competition. Rest easy, ‘Big Bang Theory.’ Look out, ‘Bang Bus!”

A Once Junky Looking Ferrari Sold For An Insane Amount Of Money In England
A man over in England decided he wanted to buy a busted up Ferrari and fix it up. After it was completely restored, he then decided to auction it off and made a big profit. How much of a profit? Oh, about $16.9 million. Via Cincinnati:
The extremely rare 1954 375 Ferrari Plus Grand Prix Roadster 0384AM, now restored, was auctioned off at the famed Goodwood Festival of Speed near London. It fetched £9.6 million, the equivalent of $16,336,691.
“It was one of the most exciting things,” Cincinnati attorney Zach Gottesman said Friday from London. “It’s the most crazy thing I’ve ever seen.”
And what does the Ferrari look like after he restored it?
Wow, he turned that junk yard car into something James Bond would drive. Just thinking about all the effort it probably took to restore that car makes me want to take a nap.

Daily Mail- Actress Amy Adams traded her first class seat on a Detroit to Los Angeles flight with a soldier who had been booked in coach. Adams reportedly noticed the American serviceman at the gate and quietly asked to switch seats with him. The five-time Academy Award nominee has often spoke glowingly of her father’s time in the military and of growing up on bases in both Italy and U.S. She then had a brief chat with the soldier near the cockpit and scurried to her seat in coach before many people noticed what had happened, according to ESPN host Jemele Hill, who witnessed the switch. ‘I noticed Ms. Adams was in first class and as I was getting seated, I saw the flight attendant guide the soldier to Ms. Adams’ seat,’ Hill told ABC News. ‘She was no longer in it, but it was pretty clear that she’d given up her seat for him,’ ’Ms. Adams did it so quietly and quickly that it speaks to her character,’ Hill added.

More Great White Sharks Spotted Off The Jersey Coast And They’re Eating Everything In Sight
NBC10 – When a shark emerged from the water with an open mouth and triangular 2-inch teeth, fisherman Steve Clark knew he was having a close encounter with a great white. The chance meeting, he says, happened about 5 p.m. Saturday at 28-Mile Wreck, the site of a World War II shipwreck off of Cape May, New Jersey. Clark’s team of fishermen spotted the 16-foot great white shark swimming toward their 35-foot-boat, the 35 Everglades. The shark swam around the vessel for about 20 minutes before ripping a chum basket of fish right from the side of the boat.
