Sure, www.meanone.com and www.grinched.com only have the teaser trailer, it's most recent update on its website. But with the help of AdTools, which just recently joined forces with Universal Pictures, a Grinch Ice9 "microsite" has been launched. (You can download it here.) This interactive desktop microsite offers a short bandwith version of the trailer, Who News, and a chance to win a trip to Seuss Landing at Universal Studios, Florida. As for the Grinch's official website, it will be re-launched on September. A virtual tour of Whoville, downloadable recipes from the Grinch's cookbook, and the Who-painter will be the latest additions to the website.

With Jim Carrey still fresh from donning green fur and snout in Ron Howardâ??s adaptation of How The Grinch Stole Christmas, another film based on Dr Seussâ?? alternative childrenâ??s stories may well be in the works for Universal.

According to Variety, the studio is in negotiations to acquire Seuss classic The Cat in The Hat for a live-action feature, which could see Tim Allen wearing the red-and-white-striped headwear in the title role. The project had once been in development by Dreamworks with Allen on board but never made it to production. Now that Universal is set to snap up the property we can hopefully expect as faithful an adaptation of the book as The Grinch which sees Carrey almost indistinguishable from his printed counterpart.

There's no reason to be green with envy over the celebrity high life. Just ask Jim Carrey, who sweated it out in painful leafy colored latex for his latest role as the Grinch. EW Online has Carrey's complaints and other angst from Hollywood's long suffering cultural elite.

''About two weeks in, I was having a lot of trouble with the Grinch suit, so they brought a guy in who actually teaches people how to handle torture, and he gave me a couple of tips. You just forget [the pain]. Sitting around in that suit was not too fun, but performing in it was amazing. I can be as uncomfortable as I want, but when somebody says action, it's like going into another reality.'' JIM CARREY on playing the Grinch in ''Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas'' (opening in November)

Hello there all Fellow Jim Carrey fans over the whole wide world! I was biking today and just dreaming away like I always tend to do (I'm a DANGER for traffic, trust me) Just thinking about what to do with this vacation here and remembering that there was a Jim Carrey fan saying there wasn't anything going on on the alt.fan-jim Carrey list...and was wondering if there were Jim Carrey fans still there...so let's change that! Cuzzzz....I came up with this great Idea! uhm...at least that's what I think of it at this particular moment.maybe it's crap...I dunno. I came up with this Idea for a "tribute" for Jim Carrey. NOT an overslimy over obsessed fan like thing but just a very creative funny thing in Jim Carrey style, just to show the guy we like what he does and who he is. So no sliming....HUMOR! FUN! A HOWCASE FOR OUR TALENT *GRIN*. Cause I have discovered that a lot of us want to become actors and actresses just like ME.Read everything about it at my website at http://cableclair.terrashare.com/cake.html but if you just go to my site http://cableclair.terrashare.com you can get there via the welcome page and via the Jim Carrey area of it...Really hope you guys would want to join the fun... cableclair. Here is where you can join and write your ideas and read what is already made up... join here

New "Grinch" pics have surfaced! Dark Horizons provides a link to UIP - Netherlands, which originally featured the high-quality stills. One of the pics is also featured in a "Grinch" press kit at eBay, only it was in black and white. Garth Franklin, editor and writer of Dark Horizons, points out that one of the stills contains the Grinch in "full frontal nudity."

Recently, Garth also got a sneak peak of a five minute footage of "The Grinch". Note: His review contains spoilers!

"After seeing the teaser trailer I shuddered. Sure the visuals and production design looked great, but one immediately thinks uh oh - this is a kids only movie, there's only going to be stuff in it you have to be under eight to enjoy. Thank god I was wrong, the clip I saw has turned my trepidation into high anticipation.

The first part has 'Mary Lou' and the Grinch talking in a cave, she's all smily and cheery and Carrey goes way too over the top. It's a bit of a worry as Carrey is cracking oneliners which fit in with that 'only for kids' elements I was concerned about. Then he does what we'd all love to do to those cute but annoying young kids on movie screens - he dumps her down a storm drain. Then the clip is pretty much pure Carrey doing irreverent humour and man it is great. This grinch is one sarcastically evil bastard and you're going to love him.

Despite being under huge amounts of makeup, the facial expressions are friggin priceless. There's also all sorts of offbeat humour in terms of visual gags (eg. Carrey steals a pair of liederhossen from a hornblower and starts strutting around like a CK model) combined with the occasional verbal gag (eg. his schedule for the day: 4 o'clock wrestle with my self loathing, 4:30 stare deeply into the abyss, 5 o'clock solve world hunger - tell no-one..."). Throughout it he uses a rather different voice than normal, very much like the one he uses to utter the "lovely party...pity I wasn't invited" line in "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective". If "The Grinch" is predominantly going to be these Carrey gags then this'll be one of the highlights of both Thanksgiving and Carrey's career - whether this five minutes is like the rest of the film though remains to be seen."

If you want to see pictures of Jim at the Teen Choice Awards (it airs June 22nd at 7 p.m. central time, according to something I just read), start here: http://gallery.fansites.com/showpic.asp?FN=1093Carrey_Jim001&SZ=3 Then just change the 001 after his name to see the rest - it goes from 001 to 006, but I'm too lazy to type the URL over & over again.

Here's something interesting from CountingDown.com. If you go to www.tonos.com, you'll have a chance to help out Grammy-winner David Foster and Steve Kipner, co-writer of Christina Aguilera's "Genie in a Bottle". These guys have a melody for an upcoming song for "The Grinch" - but no lyrics - and they need your help!

Using the featured "tonocorder" (downloading required), you get to record lyrics, preferably Seuss-ian rhyme style for a proper entry. Once you're done, upload your song. If your vocals are as good as your lyrics, you may even get a chance to record your song! The winner will get that privilege (of course, the song will be featured in the film and soundtrack), plus a trip to the L.A. premiere of "The Grinch". The contest will end on August 18th.

According to Carrey legend, that was the starting point of a famous musical collaboration between Jim Carrey and his long time friend, Phil Roy. During a trip to Europe to celebrate "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" success, Carrey and Roy walked into a Paris gallery were Roy bought a 18th century painting. Back in L.A., and while Carrey was helping Roy to find a place to hang the sixteen-panel painting, the musician asked him to "move heaven down here", because he couldn't see the top half of the panel Carrey was holding. Carrey immediately replied "You missed one. That would make a great song title."

Roy quickly went to fetch a tune that he had composed with Rick Neigher and John Shanks but was still lacking the title, and played it for Carrey who said, "That's it. That's 'Heaven Down Here'." The friends then took three weeks writing and perfecting the lyric and Carrey is also said to be responsible for the very beautiful melody hook, "Let's bring heaven down here."

The song, first recorded in 1995 by New Age duet Tuck and Patti, was recently chosen again this time to be part of Anne Pringle & Mark Burnell's debut album "Little Things We Do Together". Pringle & Burnell, a Chicago based vocal duo, have been performing together for over seven years in their Chicago hometown and also in New York, Paris and Amsterdam, while simultaneously pursuing solo careers.

"Little Things We Do Together" features a carefully chosen mix of genres from Jazz to Pop, to Showtunes, Cabaret, and even Tango, always delivered with impeccable vocal technique by Pringle and harmoniously matched by Burnell, who also plays a skillful piano accompaniment.

"Heaven Down Here" is unquestionably one of the album's highlights, performed in an engaging and heartfelt fashion that accentuates the beauty of the lyric and melody. Asked about the reasons beyond the song's choice, Anne Pringle said to JCO that "We heard 'Heaven Down Here' and it really spoke to us, but we had no idea who wrote it. In fact, Mark jokingly said, 'hmm, J. Carrey, I wonder if it could be Jim, as in 'Dumb & Dumber', 'Liar, Liar',....' Then I later read in a Rolling Stone interview that he had written it, which is great 'cause we're big fans."

Besides "Heaven Down Here" there's plenty of other relevant tracks on the album, as a rendition of "Moon Indigo" with Buddy Charles and the lively "Blue Skies", accompanied by Johnny Frigo on violin, while "Honeysuckle Rose" and "Under The Boardwalk" stand as examples of their impressive a capella singing skills.

The duo also shows a delightfully wicked sense of humor in their performance of "The Masochism Tango", a track we're sure Hank Evans, of "Me, Myself & Irene" fame, would equally thoroughly enjoy.

A final remark goes to the catching "Another Chorus Of The Blues", the only track penned by Pringle & Burnell, which will hopefully lead more original compositions in future albums.
