Milla Jovovich must be one of Hollywood's most secure actresses. She knows that no matter how her career is going, there will always be another Resident Evil around the corner. Today the trailer for the latest, Resident Evil: Afterlife, arrives. And even though there aren't any zombies, it's pretty much what you'd expect: Lots of Milla Jovovich kicking lots of ass. Still, there is one surprise in this trailer and that's the promotion of its 3-D.

First, we learn it's filmed with James Cameron's 3-D technology. Then we learn that the technology is the best there is. Then we learn that it will bring out a "new dimension of evil." Afterward, you may not remember the movie this trailer is for, but you'll definitely remember how many Ds it has — three!

If you're an unpaid intern or the employer of an unpaid intern, don't be surprised if you hear from the Labor Department soon. Led by M. Patricia Smith, its top law enforcement official, the department is cracking down on illegal unpaid internships, which is pretty much all of them.

“If you’re a for-profit employer or you want to pursue an internship with a for-profit employer, there aren’t going to be many circumstances where you can have an internship and not be paid and still be in compliance with the law,” said Nancy J. Leppink, the acting director of the department’s wage and hour division.

This is good news for all of those interns spending their days walking their boss's dog. But for the two interns in the Times story who already spent summers wiping off doorknobs and sweeping bathroom floors, it's too little too late.

Damages May Be Headed to DirecTV


According to EW, Damages may be on the verge of pulling a Friday Night Lights, as FX and DirecTV are in talks about partnering for the show's fourth season. The discussions center on a similar arrangement that NBC and DirecTV have for FNL, which allows the 101 Network to air the show before it airs on NBC. Also like FNL, Damages gets terrible ratings but is loved by critics. Until Buddy Garrity surfaces as Glenn Close's long-lost lover, that's all the shows have in common. [Michael Ausiello/EW]

Twitter Knows Which Movies Will Be Hits


According to a study from HP's Social Computing Lab, "chatter in Twitter can accurately predict the box-office revenues of upcoming movies weeks before they are released." The Lab found that using the rate at which movies are mentioned accurately predicts future revenue and factoring in the favorability of the tweet leads to even more accurate predictions. What we do with this information is anyone's guess. [Kottke]

Ivanka Trump’s Stalker Wanted Tucker Max to Join His ‘Group of Real-Life Superheroes’


Before Justin Massler was an Ivanka Trump–loving stalker trying to win her heart with pricey earrings, he was a Tucker Max–hating stalker writing mean e-mails, Max told the Daily News today. Max said the raven-haired stalker sent him dozens of "Unabomber type" missives over a four-year period that called Max things like "the Antichrist." But the communication between Max and Massler wasn't confined to the written page. In 2006 they came face to motorcycle goggle–wearing face.

Massler's twisted obsession peaked in 2006 when he showed up uninvited to one of Max's parties in Manhattan wearing an outlandish costume and claiming he was a superhero.

Massler got tossed out of the bar and roughed up by one of Max's pals, but not before spooking the infamous womanizer.

"It went from funny to kind of awkward to dangerous because the dude was legitimately crazy," said Max.

Massler and Max first hooked up over the Internet in 2005 when Massler tried to recruit Max to join his "group of real-life superheroes." Naturally, Max made fun of Massler, whose superhero name is Cloud Starchaser. That led to the 2006 confrontation in midtown and Masslet's apparent realization that love-stalking is much more fun than hate-stalking.

A month after the third season of True Blood premieres in June, HBO and IDW Publishing will release a comic-book version of the show, creator Alan Ball said yesterday. The comic book will adhere to the mythology of the TV version but branch off with different story lines, like one about Eric Northman signing a contract to play safety for the Saints, we hope. [EW]

Hungry Coyote Has a Poodle for Dinner


The deceased.

Coyotes could really use a publicist. As it is, without the benefit of a PR professional, stories like this one, about a coyote munching on a poodle named Cleopatra outside of a retirement home in Westchester, are only further harming their image. Since the city is expecting a further influx of coyotes this fall, they would do well to hire someone soon. Or, at the very least, start eating dogs that aren't so damn cute. [NYP]

Erykah Badu in Trouble for Nudie Video


The Dallas Police Department said yesterday that it plans to cite Erykah Badu for disorderly conduct for prancing around the city's streets in nothing but tattoos and hair. The timing of the decision is a little odd, as police had no problems with Badu's naked video until it started making national headlines and attracting the ire of Bill O'Reilly's blonde friend. Now the police are saying Badu will be cited and slapped with a $500 fine because there were children in the area of her naked stroll. If you're interested in hearing Badu's defense you can watch her tonight on The Wanda Sykes Show, which you were planning on watching anyway.

Steve Wozniak Doesn’t Mind Waiting in Line for an iPad


The iPad finally went on sale at 9 a.m. this morning. Three hours later, the Internet is churning out content by the second about this world-changing, cancer-curing, vegetable-chopping device. Gizmodo is live-reviewing as many apps as possible. Engadget is already finding problems. IFixit is tearing the damn thing apart. And the Times is documenting the pandemonium at the city's Apple outlets. But if there is one essential piece of media you should consume in these first few hours after the release of the device that will make you more attractive and funnier, it's this video of Steve Wozniak performing a magic trick while waiting in line for his three iPads.
