PAUL THE FILMMAKER. "I help a superhero fight crimes of the heart...but I really want to direct." BG's very own Intern has directed three short films currently appearing at iFilm.com: Cary and Gallo's Phone Calls, Miss Penelope's School of Stillness, and Thugs -- which is also being featured tonight at the New York Comedy Film Festival! (And at shortbuzz.com, you can also find Henry David Thoreau: Role Model, Sergi, Let the Cats Dance, and The Indigo Wisemen.) All this and he still has time to listen to the platonic friends he's secretly in love with complain about their boyfriends!

HOW TO TELL IF HE LEKLEKS YOU. The current issue of the journal Human Nature features a study called, "Mobile Phones as Lekking Devices Among Human Males." Researchers noted that in public (that is, an urban "lek" -- communal mating area where men engage in flamboyant courtship displays, such as Starbucks), men are more likely than women to leave their cell phones out on the table, fiddle with them, and generally engage in behavior that says, "Hello, ladies, I am wealthy and important enough to have a cell phone!" Well! Does that mean you'll call?

"IN A DARK FUTURE, DEVOID OF HOPE...." Thus begins the brand-new trailer for Chi-Chian, a new Sci-Fi channel web series to which BG animator sidekick Mike Lee currently brings his super-skills. It's the story of an electric-armor-wearing Japanese girl in the 31st century who befriends giant bugs, fights holographic robots, and beats up zombies. (Says Mike, "I know, that's so played, right?") Series begins November 21.

THONG TH-TH-THONG THONG. When Sisqo talked thongs this summer, he was just being fresh. Now you can talk thongs while staying fresh! Introducing Carefree thong pantiliners. Just because thong use is on the rise doesn't mean your pantiliner has to be! This is great news for all of your proselytizing pals who insist that once you convert to thongs, you'll never look back. As if. (Too much information?) [-- Friday]

FAME TAKES A HOLIDAY. Called "difficult to resist" by the New York Times, this cabaret-show-with-a-plot (featuring BG LIVE alum Mary Purdy!) revives the routines -- and follows the ups, downs, and high kicks -- of the 1980s female comedy troupe The High Heeled Women. BG's fave bit: a proud cleaning lady's Piaf parody "Je Ne Regrout Rien." (Find that woman a Tiler!)

GIRLS ON THE MOVE. Chi-chian's forefighters: this cross-country bike ride and national education campaign for girls' self-esteem rolls into New York next week!
