Hey "Star Wars" fans! You know this year's fan convention, Celebration V, is in Florida at the Orange County Convention Center, right? Here's something you didn't know though: Mark Hamill is going to be in attendance. That's right, Luke Skywalker himself. Lucasfilm exclusively confirmed to MTV that the celebrated actor will be on hand to meet fans and sign autographs. He'll also put in an appearance on the Celebration Stage. None of the specific scheduling has been announced just yet, but the convention runs from August 12 to August 15, so count on all of this happening sometime during that timeframe. This is in addition to the already announced Jon Stewart interview with George Lucas, not to mention all of the other "Star Wars" fan-fulfilling craziness that's planned.
Although he previously appeared at Celebration Europe and Celebration Japan, Celebration V marks Hamill's first appearance at one of the U.S.-based conventions. Hopefully things will go better for him than they did when he appeared at BiMonSciFiCon on "The Simpsons." Tickets are still available, so head over to the Celebration website to get yours now.
A lot of people are going to see "re-shoots" and shudder in fear. I don't get the feeling that that's the case here though. EW.com

One of the wonderful things about living in New York City for an artist is having the opportunity to share your work with any number of people at a moment's notice. No matter the time of day, whether you're in the park, strolling along the sidewalk or traveling via mass transit, there's always someone around, always a captive audience.
Twitter-Wood pulled out its New York City pride today in remembrance of late Yankees owner George Steinbrenner. 
"Seinfeld" is the easy pop culture moment to talk about in relation to George Steinbrenner, New York Yankees owner who died earlier today after suffering a massive heart attack. He only appeared on the show once, but series co-creator Larry David frequently appeared -- the back of his head anyway -- as the baseball mogul while Jason Alexander's George Costanza held a dream job working for the Yanks. It's great stuff and I don't mean to take anything away from it.
Haley Joel Osment is back! It always warms my heart to see a child actor carry that work on into adulthood. The "Sixth Sense" star has lent his voice to a fair few video games and an animated film or two, but he's been pretty quiet on the acting front in recent years.
I've been shoring up my strength all day in preparation for writing this post. The growing Legend of Betty White has taken on a life of its own at this point. She simply can't be stopped. There's nothing wrong with it of course-- White is a national treasure, a talented performer with a knack for playing her sweet seeming naivete as uproarious comedy. But I wonder if her reborn celebrity is leading the higher powers in Hollywood to pitch her for inappropriate roles.
