The Artist blooper reel is awesome for so many reasons: First, you’ll increase your French vocabulary by learning how to say “bloopers” in la français. (It’s “betisier.” Why instead my high school French teacher taught me to say “launch pad” in French — “rampe de lancement” — I’ll never know.) Second, you’ll see how a blooper reel would look in old, 1920s Hollywood. (They would be so refined. I think I’ll kill myself.) And, finally, of course, Uggie. Plenty of Uggie. Quick poll: Who’s the real star of this movie? Uggie, or Jean Dujardin’s eyebrows? Clip after the jump! READ FULL STORY »

Amy Winehouse's father speaks out against Jean Paul Gaultier's runway tribute
Runway shows are known for pushing envelopes and creating controversial looks, but it begs the questions: How far is too far? Is there even such a thing? According to Mitch Winehouse, the father of the late Amy Winehouse, there is. As Paris Fashion Week is underway, Jean Paul Gaultier chose to honor the Brit pop star by outfitting his models in classic Amy looks, sending some down the runway with a cigarette in hand and the her signature thick eyeliner. Upon seeing photos of the show, People reports, her father fervently spoke out against the haute couture designer:

Twitter will block posts in certain countries: Censorship? Or benevolent capitalism?
Internet companies are like musicians. First, they become famous by forming a personal relationship with their fans built on the perception of mutual trust and loyalty; then, they become rich by betraying that loyalty. Or at least that’s the sense one gets reading the knee-jerk reactions to Twitter’s announcement that they are giving themselves the ability to “reactively withhold content from users in a specific country.” By way of explanation, the blog post notes: “As we continue to grow internationally, we will enter countries that have different ideas about the contours of freedom of expression.” As an example, they bring up France and Germany, which have severe bans on pro-Nazi content. Presumably, they’re also referring to certain slightly more controversial countries with bans on slightly more topical forms of speech. READ FULL STORY »

Joseph Gordon-Levitt covers 'Hey, Jude' and I don't feel bad about loving it
I’ll risk being pelted by knit hat and go on record as saying that this cover of “Hey Jude” isn’t Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s best singing effort ever. (Of course, is there any topping the duet he did with the unnecessary-crown-wearing Zooey Deschanel?) But it isn’t the vocals that make this rendition (performed at Sundance) noteworthy as much as his stage-presence. READ FULL STORY »

Rumor patrol: Oprah as Blue Ivy Carter's godmother? BFF Gayle says no
Blue Ivy Carter’s birth was feted like the second coming: She had a hit single within days of her birth and became a charter member of Oprah Winfrey’s Book Club for Infants… and then the inevitable backlash began. That’s a whole lot to take in for a not-quite-three-week-old. But this train is bound for glory and shows no signs of stopping. So buck up, Blue, you’ve got a new godmother! And she’s kind of a big deal.
According to reports that surfaced yesterday, Blue Ivy’s famous parents Beyoncé and Jay-Z had tapped Oprah Winfrey to serve as godmother to the tot. Hours after the buzz reached a fever pitch, though, Winfrey’s platonic life-partner Gayle King denied the rumors while co-anchoring CBS This Morning. Said King, “It’s absolutely not true that she’s the godmother. She’s friends with them, of course, and likes them both very much.” According to King, Winfrey was traveling to South Africa around the time baby Carter was born, so if she is the second-in-line for custody, spiritually speaking. “It is news to her.” See King’s full denial below.

Four ways to improve the Oscar acceptance speeches

When it comes to the Academy Awards, everybody is always complaining about something. “The show was too long.” “The host wasn’t funny.” “The half-hour they spent on the short-film Oscars was so boring.” None of that really bothers me. I usually watch with a big group of people and/or a few bottles of champagne, so why would I want the show to be shorter? The hosts only really matter during the opening monologue, and the only great opening monologue in recent Oscar history was Chris Rock’s scorched-earth act. And short films are awesome! But there is one big gripe I have with the Oscars, and with all the various award shows that cling to the Oscars like oxpeckers in the ear of a noble rhinoceros: The big acceptance speeches are incredibly boring.

Paul Rudd answers girly questions. Adorable factor rises exponentially. -- VIDEO
Why do men love breasts? It’s the question that has stumped the human race for years; even Julia Roberts couldn’t figure it out. And in this new video from Rookiemag, Paul Rudd is the next to take a stab at the brain-busting question. “I’m sure there’s some kind of biological explanation such as sustenance,” he postulates. “And when we were babies, breast milk is what kept us alive.” But that’s not all — in the segment (called ”Ask a Grown Man”) Rudd also dives deep into the depths of his psyche to tackle whether guys and girls can really just be friends and if matching underwear is a necessity. Watch the video after the jump. READ FULL STORY »

Emma Stone's eyes have really done it this time
Every time I see Emma Stone’s new Revlon commercial, I think to myself, this is it, this HAS to be the time she’ll crack herself up and let us know how ridiculous she KNOWS it is that she’s showing us how to apply Photoready Airbrush Mousse Makeup. Moments later, I’m left in a trance, unable to focus on anything except how slowly and tenderly I would caress my translucent skin if I, too, were a beautiful green-eyed vampire. What day is it? How long have I been out? Where is my magical pot of beige-speckled goo? READ FULL STORY »
