The Saxing of the Seventh Walrus, And Other Passages From 'Revelation'
· Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? Rev 5:2
· And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death. Rev 6:8
· And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. Rev 8:1
· And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Rev 13:17
· Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. Rev 2:10
· How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Rev 18:7

In Case of Rapture, Defamer's Inbox Will Be Empty
We get a lot of mail every day at Defamer HQ, some utterly essential, some a little more on the expendable side. But on a day packed with layoffs, Grammy Hell, Hamlin/Rinna reality shows, Paris Hilton's slimy bologna, remake overload, pseudo Doomsday Babies and strip-joint fires, it seems natural — and more than a little spooky — that the Defamer mailbag tested positive for unusually high levels of armageddon. After the jump, join us in winding down Apocalypse Watch '08 with a run through the apocalyptic subject lines that were, and in mourning the vibrant pop culture that was. -
Pop Culture Doomsday
Hey--What's That Transforminator Doing In 'Terminator: Salvation?'
ET has been pumping its first look of Terminator: Salvation this Tuesday, to be presided over by none other than the world's most recognizably uni-named pop-spectacle-overseer himself, McG. (Eat his dust, Tarsem.) Today, however, we bring you the promo to the promo. It's as fitting an exclusive as we are likely to find for you on this, Pop Culture Doomsday: A fourth sequel to a picked-over Schwarzenegger franchise about a battle for human survival after a nuclear annihilation. Doesn't get any more apocalypto than that!

Hollywood Xmas Cont'd: 'THR,' 'People Mag' Staffs Slashed
More bloodshed from the Doomsday trenches: Nikki Finke has word that "as much as half of the Hollywood Reporter staff" faces downsizing today, with TV writers Barry Garron and Kimberly Nordyke already pink-slipped alongside editors Harley Lond and Randee Cohen. And a tipster just sent a memo confirming that People Magazine has upheld its bicoastal execution orders issued a month ago, concluding 18 buyouts and/or "staff reductions" right on schedule with the pop-culture apocalypse. Nice. The memo follows the jump. -

'Ellen' Guest Goes Into Labor, Welcomes First Baby of the Apocalypse: UPDATE
No catastrophic cultural implosion is complete without a Doomsday Baby, and we think we might have gotten ours when pregnanter-than-pregnant Biggest Loser host Alison Sweeney went into labor during today's taping of Ellen. Even Defamer's office of Fact-Checking and Devil's Advocacy seems to stand by the veracity of the accompanying video, which features Ellen coming out of a break to greet the contorting, hyperventilating Sweeney with every expectant mother's favorite question, "Are you kidding?" To which Sweeney replies in the negative with all her searing underworld might. Uncanny!

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Hollywood Xmas: The Personnel Purging Begins
As you may have already heard, a staggering 850 people were laid off from Viacom today. Torrents of blood washed down the halls of MTV on both coasts, with added security in wading boots posted on every floor for "observation" (translation: making sure downsized employees don't try to swipe a promotional copy of Trivial Pursuit: TRL Edition on their way out of the building).

Whatever Happened to 'Twilight,' Anyway?
We weren't kidding yesterday when we expressed relief at teen-sex romp The Reader having supplanted Twilight as the movies' hottest new youth movement. Still, after Twilight's massive 62% box-office plunge in its second week of release, and with the only the random, pot-gorging snapshot of Kristen Stewart to replace that long-running plague of EW covers, we can't help our sniffling, lonely-ish concern at the edge of the black hole where Twilight used to be. But thankfully, we've found the one place in the world where the vampire romance remains a holdover — and how!

Pop Culture Doomsday
Lapdance Inferno! The two most pole-reliant professions came together as firefighters put out a blaze at the World Famous™ Body Shop strip club on Sunset this morning. No cause has yet been determined for what might have started the blaze, but we think we have a pretty good clue. UPDATE: Police have announced they are looking for a "stripper of interest" in the case named Nikita. Anyone who might have seen the Megan Fox-sexing exotic dancer in the last 24 hours is asked to call local law enforcement immediately. [LAT]

Doomsday Clock Chimes With Crowning Of Seth MacFarlane As Smartest Man In TV

Fox couldn't be prouder of the money he makes for them, according to their press release:

Multiple Nominees Coldplay, Lil Wayne Lead the Charge Into Grammy Hell
The pungent scent of hot sulphur at Defamer HQ this morning can mean only one thing: Grammy Hell is bearing down on us, heralded as well by hosts Taylor Swift, LL Cool J and the rest of the wailing demon legion populating last night's first-ever primetime nomination special at the Nokia Theater. And what did their baleful cries portend? We're gonna get more Coldplay performance art!

Pop Culture Doomsday
Good Morning. Your World Is Ending.
As many times as we heard it from that filthy, bearded man standing outside the Farmers Market with a big sign (Alan Rosenberg—is that you?), we never really believed the Pop Culture Apocalypse would soon be upon us. Well—we guess we were wrong! Try not to panic as its four horsemen—Nicolas Cage with a suspiciously luscious head of wizard-hair, Jay Baruchel conducting a broom army, Russell Brand getting his naughty bits scrubbed by an Oscar-winning manservant, and Rowdy Dwayne Johnson—ride in after the breaking of the seventh remake, followed thereafter by the arrival of the beastly Endtime Ruler (Kathleen Turner). Your coverage awaits!
