Walking Dead:
• Some New Characters Hit ‘The Walking Dead’ Season 3 Plus New Rumors: …there are two new more characters coming on Season 3 of ‘The Walking Dead’ plus some interesting rumors (possible spoiler alert)…Apparently, the Governor will first attack once Rick and the gang try to take refuge in the prison that ended last season…The two new characters joining our merry band of survivors are: Harold is in his 40s to early 50s. A studious and fastidious man, trying to create a niche for himself in this new world. This is guy is the polar opposite of Shane and more in line with Dale, whom I was sad to see go last season. I’m sure there’ll be another Stephen King tv adaptation he’ll be in soon. Manuel is 30 to 40, Hispanic, a working class survivor, he is confident, physically skilled, a leader when necessary, capable and smart. Has a terrific sense of humor where you wouldn’t expect one. Now rumors about how the season will start include the gang getting attacked by a band of walkers while they’re trying to get inside the prison.Also Jimmy (now a zombie) will get a little wandering around the farm and rv screen time, and there’s been a lot of talk that Morgan will be back this season, and our AMC source says to not expect T-Bone to last long. That would be a shame since the guy is almost like an Under Fiver (the actors that get less than five lines and less pay), but there’s something likable about him anyway. The biggest thing is that Rick’s dictatorship will have a profound effect on the gang and cause some splintering, especially once they’re inside the prison with the new people.

• Jon Bernthal Reveals Alternate Ending For His Character On THE WALKING DEAD
Speaking of zombies:
• Police: Miami cannibal was overdosing on new, super-potent LSD: Disturbing new details have emerged about an incident in Miami, Florida in which police shot and killed a man who was tearing off and eating another man’s face. According to Miami’s WSVN, the victim, who is believed to be homeless, lost 75 percent of his face in the attack and is in critical condition at Jackson Memorial Hospital. Police claim that the dead man was overdosing on a new, powerful form of Lysergic Acid Diethlymide, the hallucinogen commonly known as LSD. Eyewitness Larry Vega was bicycling on the MacArthur parkway on Saturday afternoon when he saw the two naked men locked in a grisly struggle. The scene, he said, was like something from a horror movie. “And the guy was like tearing him to pieces with his mouth, so I told him, ‘Get off!’” Vega said, “You know it’s like the guy just kept eating the other guy away like ripping his skin.” Vega flagged down a police officer, who ordered the attacker to let his victim go. The attacker ignored him, but when the officer jumped the concrete divider and shouted, Vega said, “the guy just stood his head up like that with a piece of flesh in his mouth and growled.” The officer opened fire, striking the suspect, who barely paused as he continued to rip away the homeless man’s face. The officer fired several more times until the attacker was dead. [rawstory/David Ferguson/28 May 2012]

• Anti-abortion group drafting legislation to limit women’s right to choose: Limits on the legal right to abortion are sweeping through legislatures across the United States, from moves to require women seeking abortion to undergo intrusive ultrasounds, to the defunding of Planned Parenthood, America’s largest family planning provider. Behind the raft of bills and regulations is one group with an aggressive approach: a non-profit, anti-abortion group called Americans United for Life. [guardian.co.uk/Karen McVeigh/25 May 2012]
