'500 Days of Summer' First Up In 'Cinemash' Debut

Microsoft Zune’s first original web series, Cinemash, debuted today with a star-studded mash up of the upcoming film 500 Days of Summer. The stars of the film, Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, mix it up for the premiere episode retooling a scene from their flick, this time in character as punk rock legend Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen.
