After watching the trailer for Garry Marshall’s Valentine’s Day, starring everyone in Hollywood, I can safely proclaim that I liked this movie about LOVE better when it was British and revolved around Christmas, ACTUALLY.
Here are just a few of the lessons we’ve already learned from the upcoming Garry Marshall rom-com: Young adults these days consider monogamy ridiculous; dogs count as people when checking into hotels on Valentine’s Day; a vibrator joke will fail especially hard when it’s uttered by Jessica Biel and doubles as a Blackberry commercial; and most important: The line “Could you bring him some pretzels” is funny because Julia Roberts said it and then laughed. What did you learn from the Valentine’s Day trailer, P-Dubs?
In Jennifer’s Body (in theaters today), Adam Brody, our favorite geek hero from The O.C., tries evil on for size. He plays the lead singer of a devil-worshipping emo band that attempts to sacrifice Jennifer (Megan Fox) because they think she’s a virgin and it will bring them greater fame. (He doesn’t do his own vocals: “My singing voice is still going through puberty,” he says. “They gave me a singing lesson or two, and it’s not the worst thing in the world, but it’s not anything anyone would choose to hear.”) Unfortunately, since Jennifer’s not pure, a demon takes over her body and starts feeding on high school boys. Almost as dangerous as Megan Fox with a supernatural appetite? The EW Pop Culture Personality Test. Brody submitted to one and had a couple of friends over in case he needed backup…
Officers! It has been a long few months without our beloved Scrantonites, and a few things have changed: First, Ed Helms is now a superstar, thanks to The Hangover, and second, Ellie Kemper has been made a full-on cast member. Might there be a love connection in their characters’ futures? Stranger things have happened. Indeed, stranger things happen on the opening minutes of this episode. Let’s do this. 
Loved 1992′s Single White Female? Then you’ll love 2010′s Leighton Meester-Minka Kelly thriller, The Roommate. Like Female, Roommate focuses on obsession: The film follows a college freshman (Meester) who develops an unhealthy fascination with her roommate (Kelly). For her role, Meester says she went method, researching mental illness with the help of psychologists and films like 1974′s A Woman Under the Influence. The actress tried to keep her distance from cast members — and a litter of kittens being used for the film — in order to retain her character’s level of emotional aloofness. “You would think that that idea of playing somebody who’s out of control or lost touch with reality is somehow fun, but it was to a point of discomfort,” the actress says. “[My character] is completely delusional and it’s definitely a cause of a chemical imbalance, so that wasn’t the easiest and most enjoyable thing. Even in her most normal moments, she’s genuinely a disturbed person. She had very abnormal wheels turning at all times.”
Before we get to last night’s season 2 premiere of Parks and Recreation, I want us to take a journey together. Through time! (No flux capacitor required; just close your eyes….) We transport ourselves to September 2005, right before the American version of The Office was slated to start its second season. After six so-so episodes in the spring, enthusiasm for the show was middling at best. “Nothing will ever compare to the British Office, man,” your coolest friend said. “Why try and replicate it? It’s like trying to re-do Guernica or something.” Professional critics had given the show weak reviews as well, feeling it had not yet distinguished itself enough from its older brother. No one had high hopes for another season.
Last night’s ridiculously trashy, yet delightful, episode of Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta has
