Cheers

• E!'s Watch With Kristin makes me all kinds of happy by reporting that Michael J. Fox is in talks to return to TV, guest-starring on Rescue Me and reprising his role on Scrubs.
• Joss Whedon told the MTV Movies Blog about one of his next projects: writing and producing the movie Cabin in the Woods.
• TV Filter has an awesome montage of reality show contestants saying they're "not here to make friends."
• If you loved the short film Presto before Wall-E, The Underwire lets you watch it again and again.
• Stereogum has the new video for Death Cab for Cutie's "Cath."
• It's Cheers week on TV Squad, and to celebrate, one of the show's writers, Ken Levine, has shared the episode of Cheers he's still writing in his head.
• Popwatch's Michael Slezak makes a darn good argument that Jessica Simpson's version of "These Boots Were Made for Walking" is the worst cover of all time. Do you think there's a cover song that tops that one?
• TiFaux watched Alan Ball's True Blood, and . . . um, it wasn't exactly a rave review.
• I'm liking Cinematical's list of their seven favorite summertime movies, including Stand By Me, Dazed and Confused and Wet Hot American Summer.
• Vulture has a chat with Hellboy II director Guillermo del Toro.

Earlier this week we kicked off travel week with a post on how to toast in various different languages. If you found that fun, then you are really going to enjoy these cheers wine glasses from CB2. The set of 6 is available for $19.95 and come with the following phrases: Prost, Salud, Le'Chaim, Cheers, Kampai, and A Votre Sante. This modern dishwasher-safe glassware would act as an amazing conversation starter at any party.

We ran our first installment of travel week a few months ago, and had so much fun we wanted to do it again! This week we'll bring you recipes from around the world, so be prepared for tasty dishes from awesome places. To get you prepared for our journey we thought it would be fun to learn how to toast in different languages. When traveling, knowing how to say "cheers" in the language of your destination country is a great way to meet people, converse with waiters and bartenders and show the locals that you have embraced the customs.

• In China they say Ganbei which translates literally to mean "dry glass."
• In France they say A votre santé which translates as "to your health."



• In Germany they say Prosit which means, "Here's to you."
• In Poland they say Na zdrowie whose translation is, "to your health."
• In Spain and Mexico they say Salud which translates to mean "health."
• In Korea they say Konbai which literally translates to mean "Bottoms up."
• In Italy they say Salute , meaning "to your health."
• In Ireland they say Slainte which means "cheers."
• In Armenia they say Genatz, also meaning "cheers."
• In Israel they say L'chaim which translates literally to mean "to life."
• In Costa Rica they say Pura vida which means, "pure life."
• In Greece they say Sto ieo sou meaning, "to your health."

Please help me out with the list! If you know how to say cheers in a language that's not mentioned, tell us all below!

For last week's Recast challenge, I asked you guys to tackle the long-running and brilliantly enduring sitcom "Cheers." The actors who played these colorful, oddly familiar characters really helped make the show what it was, but BuzzSugar readers came up with some fitting replacements who could honor the show's legacy.

The versatile Hugh Laurie surfaced twice: once as Frasier on Staceygirl's list and again when BeanBagChair picked him to play Cliff. I also really loved Staceygirl's choices of Janeane Garafalo for Carla and Paul Giamatti as Norm. But the No. 1 Recast spot this week goes to ChiTownEm. I particularly love her choice for Sam Malone, but does Chris Klein give anyone else the heebie-jeebies? To see her picks and the "new" cast photo, read more
