Andrew Lazarchik has posted a picture of the new Nathan's championship belts Wildcat Belts has produced for the 2012 finals. The Pepto-Bismo logo no longer flanks the Nathan's medallion on the women's belt (picture of 2011 belt), apparently confirming rumors that Pepto-Bismol is no longer a Nathan's sponsor.

update June 7 Bob Shoudt is another new character. Joey Chestnut implies that he was omitted.
The MLE facebook announces an app for iPhone / iPad is available on itunes. The app appears to be a port of the Wii game developed by Mastiff released in 2008. The listed competitors in the app are Tim Janus, Sonya Thomas, Crazy Legs Conti and Tim Brown, who was not in the Wii game.
Competitors in the Wii game were Pat Bertoletti, Joey Chestnut, Crazy Legs Conti, Erik Denmark, Tim Janus, El Toro Jimenez, Takeru Kobayashi, Juliet Lee, Rich LeFevre and Sonya Thomas. (Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3) It would not be surprising if Kobayashi, Jimenez and LeFevre were removed from the app. (Interestingly, Joey Chestnut does not appear in the list of competitors or the screen captures.)
A burping contest awarding $500 will be held at Hudson Station in New York City on Friday to promote the game. (via Naader Reda)
update Pete Davekos is another one of the new eaters
