“Arrested Development” creator Mitch Hurwitz has revealed more details about the show’s fourth season, which will premiere on Netflix sometime early next year.

Here’s what you need to know:

All 10 episodes will hit Netflix at once, on the SAME DAY. Hurwitz said, quote, “There’s going to be some mystery sprinkled throughout this, [but] instead of watching one a week and try to get ahead of it . . .

“The hope is [that fans] will watch them all together and then go back and look for clues and connections.” No specific release date has been announced, but production is set to begin this summer.

He also vaguely talked about using “technology to provide additional material, where you might be able to access another part of the story.” (–It seems like this could mean releasing some sort of bonus content online, but he didn’t elaborate.)

Initially, the plan was to have each of the episodes focus on a specific character . . . like an anthology . . . but it sounds like that isn’t happening anymore. Hurwitz said, quote, “[It's] evolving into becoming more like the old show again.”

There’s supposed to be an “Arrested Development” MOVIE that would come out AFTER the Netflix season, but Hurwitz didn’t mention anything about that.

But get this: He’s open to doing additional seasons on Netflix. He said, quote, “We would love this to be the first of many visits.”

All the main characters will be back, and Hurwitz didn’t address the status of the minor characters . . . except to say that SCOTT BAIO’S Bob Loblaw will return.

(–Netflix is now streaming the first three seasons of “Arrested Development”.)

The song “We Are Young” by FUN is kind of an anthem for 20-year-olds who still have their whole life ahead of them.  But there’s a great parody for people in their mid-30s . . . who don’t have that same lust for life anymore.

It’s called “We’re NOT Young”, and talks about going to lame dinner parties, gaining weight, getting your prostate checked, developing an anxiety disorder, and staying in to watch “Modern Family”.

We see signs all the time that TRUE MANLINESS is dying.  Studies about how men can’t do basic household repairs anymore . . . trends like pantyhose or Brazilian waxes for men . . . kids joining gangs that have dance battles instead of drive-bys, calling AAA to fix a flat tire, etc…

So here’s some help to reclaim the manliness.  Planters nuts and “Men’s Health” surveyed men and put together these lists of the top three manliest foods, sports, and drinks.  Check ‘em out.

Manliest Foods.  BEEF JERKY was rated the manliest food, ahead of mixed nuts and peanuts.

Manliest Sports.  FOOTBALL is the manliest, followed by hockey, and then basketball.

Manliest Drinks.  BEER was rated the manliest, bourbon was second, rum and Coke was third.

This happened earlier this month in Brazil, but it just came across my radar . . . and it’s awesome.

Ronaldo Silva is a suspected drug trafficker who was locked up in Brazil. When his wife came to visit, they worked to coordinate his brilliant escape attempt.

She gave Ronaldo HER CLOTHES. He put on a black wig, her blue dress, her bra, lipstick, fake nails, and high heels . . . and she switched into shorts and another top she brought. Somehow they did all this without the guards catching on.

And then, Ronaldo walked out of prison like he was a visitor. He actually managed to get past several of the guards AND some cops patrolling on the street. He got to the nearest bus station before one cop became suspicious.

What tipped him off? He noticed the “woman” was having a hell of a time walking in the high heels. When he got closer, he figured out the woman was a man. Ronaldo is now back in prison.
