Pamela Anderson Has Been Offered a Baywatch Cameo
Pamela Anderson was offered a role in the new Baywatch movie, but the actress is playing hard to get.
Anderson, who played C.J. Parker in the original television series, told ET Canada she turned down the studio's initial offer, but hasn't ruled out the role entirely. "I haven't turned it down completely yet," she said. "But I have turned down what they offered me. But we'll see what happens."

Key Lime Slime Twinkies Are the Next Ghostbusters Tie-in
Looks like we're not only getting Ecto-Cooler HI-C, but Ghostbusters Twinkies as well.
Hostess will release its Key Lime Slime Twinkies, presumably, around the time the movie hits theaters. An official release date is not known at this time. However, an image was recently shared on the ENM Sales Twitter account. The date on the box—which looks to be an expiration date—reads April 6, 2016. Perhaps they'll show up before then?

NBA 2K16 Can’t Accurately Depict Stephen Curry
Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry is so good, his NBA 2K16 counterpart can't keep up.
2K Games spent years perfecting its system, and when Golden State Warrors' star player came along, it had to forget its proven methods in regards to virtual Curry's play.
NBA 2K16 gameplay director Mike Wang told IGN "it's not as much about changing Curry himself, as it is changing the way to suceed while using him as a player." Curry's avatar is already a "very potent scorer" in the game—especially "in the hands of a skilled player." However, Curry abides by the same rules as every other player in the game. And those rules, Wang said, "keep the game balanced and fair."

Bond Producers Seeks Next Big, Scary Global Threat
EON Productions' Gregg Wilson -- son of Bond franchise producer Michael G. Wilson and an associate producer on SPECTRE -- recently attended an auction of 007 memorabilia at Christie's in London, during which time he chatted about the status of James Bond 25.
"We have just begun to talk about ideas for the next movie. Each script process begins when we ask ourselves the question: 'What is the world afraid right now?,'" said Wilson, according to FilmWeb.no (via MI6).
"In the case of SPECTRE the theme was global surveillance. So right now we are trying to find out what theme will be relevant in the coming years."

XCOM 2 Mod Adds Bob Ross to Your Squad
Fighting an insurgent war against alien oppressors can be stressful, so one modder decided to add a bit of peaceful serenity to an XCOM squad with a Bob Ross voice pack.
With classic lines involving little clouds and happy accidents, Bob Ross seems right at home in the futuristic battlefield of XCOM 2. Whether it's a reassuring comment or a congratulations after a good shot, Bob can now be the guiding voice to your victory.
You can add this voice pack and others to your game through the creator's Steam Workshop page, where there are also Arnold Schwarzenegger and Darth Vader voice packs. These mods only add voices, though, so you'll have to fool around with the character creator or find a download online to get their appearance right.
