## Transcript

I'm Claire Suddath with TIME Magazine and this is what's on Pop Chart this week. We have two Spider- Man related items for you this week. The first is about Alain Robert, the French Spider- Man who scaled all a hundred sixty storeys of Dubai's Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. It took him 6 hours. The second item is about New York's Mayor Bloomberg, who put on the Spider- Man outfit [ unk ] on the stage for the city's annual Inner Circle dinner.

>> And with great power, comes great responsibility.

>> The spoof on the troubled Broadway play- so he had to invent some technical difficulty. -[ unk ]

>> So have you heard about the 20- inch long poisonous Egyptian cobra that escaped from the Bronx Zoo? The real snake has been missing for several days but a fake version has appeared in an unlike place, Twitter. The Bronx Zoo cobra has been tweeting at everyone from Mayor Bloomberg to Steve Martin and oddly, snakes are pretty funny. So a new Hollywood celebrity has launched a fashion line, but it's Sylvester Stallone. The action star will debut his men's wear collection featuring clothes inspired by his own movie roles, Rocky and Rambo. We envisioned a lot camel.

>> Before we take off, we'd like to run you through a few in- flight safety exercises.

>> So Richard Simmons and his glittery short shorts are back but this time, for an in- flight safety video for Air New Zealand.

>> In the next 3 minutes, we're gonna work hard, workout and get you fit to flight. Let's go.

>> This is just weird.

>> We hope you've enjoyed the safety exercise briefing from Air New Zealand.

>> At first, we were excited to hear about plans to revive Agatha Christie's elderly sleuh Miss Marple in a new movie, but then we heard that she would be played by 38- year- old Jennifer Garner. You know, if they wanted a sexy Miss Marple, they should've just gone with Helen Mirren. So that's all we've got on Pop Charts this week. Check back next week, we will have more for you.
