They want to strike out on their own, free from the incessant embarrassment that is having a parent. Last night’s Modern Family found Jay and Phil butting heads as usual, Cam and Mitchell afraid to tell each other the truth, and Claire and Gloria bonding over babylust. All that plus a guest appearance from Justin Kirk! These were the best lines of the night: READ FULL STORY »

Zac Efron starring in 'Snabba Cash': Wait...Snabba wha?
High School Musical heart-throb Zac Efron is producing and starring in a remake of Snabba Cash, a Swedish thriller based on a 2006 novel written by Jens Lapidus about three friends involved in the drug trade and organized crime. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Efron will play the central character, a money launderer trying to strike it rich (the title roughly translates to “easy money”) by running cocaine for a dealer. This was reportedly a hot commodity with Warner Bros. and Efron winning rights after a bidding war.
The high school cutie bowed out of the Footloose remake (which is looking like a better idea all the time as it continues to hit snags) because he didn’t want to be typecast as a singing, dancing pretty boy. Money launderer cum drug runner in a remake of a Swedish action thriller sounds like a definite step in that new direction for him. Whaddya think, though, PopWatchers? Can you buy this guy as a bad-boy criminal? READ FULL STORY »

'American Idol': Adam Lambert completely blew my everlovin' mind (on the scene for results night)
Image Credit: Frank Micelotta/FoxFans of my snark demon Smirkelstiltskin will be sorely disappointed to learn that he will not be appearing in this on-the-scene recap of last night’s American Idol results show (after this paragraph, anyway). Smirkel had such high hopes for it, too, given that the very first sign we saw upon entering the Idoldome said “CT hearts Katie!” (like, the very same CT from The Real World Paris, and The Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Inferno, and The Inferno II, and The Duel, and The Inferno III, and The Gauntlet 3, and The Duel 2? That CT? Who knew he was such a fan of reality competition shows?). But then Adam Lambert took to the stage, delivering by miles the best live guest performance I’ve seen on an Idol results show ever in the history of awesome. Alas, Smirkel became so enraptured by Glambert’s laser-light tornado that he let one of the green laser beams hit him square in his third eye. He’s currently convalescing inside Randy Jackson’s belly button lint trap.
Suffice it to say, Glambert completely blew my everloving mind last night, and judging from the deafening roars from the live audience before, during, and after his performance of “Whataya Want from Me,” I’d say I was far from alone. READ FULL STORY »

'Ugly Betty' Bites: The show's brilliant last 18 one-liners from its series finale, 'Hello Goodbye'!
Image Credit: ABCI already wrote about about why Ugly Betty mattered so much to me, so I won’t get too sappy here in my last Ugly Betty Bites entry ever. But before I offer up the last digest of genius quips from the show, I will say that the finale last night was a nice little button for the series. A super-sweet end to a super-sweet series!

Adam West beats Nicolas Cage in Batman trivia: Not shocking
What is it about this clip from last night’s Tonight Show that warms my heart enough not to make a joke about Nicolas Cage’s hair? (Actually, it was looking as good as it’s going to look blond.) I think it’s the sincerity in his voice when Jay Leno brings out Adam West (also looking quite good) to face off against Cage in a Batman trivia contest. “Thank you for saving my childhood,” Cage says. Ah, man.
Not surprisingly, West defeated Cage 4 to 3. Though props to Cage for knowing Alfred’s full name. The good news: Cage’s new film, Kick-Ass, appears to be a winner (read our review). READ FULL STORY »

'Nightmare on Elm Street': Squint and it stars Emily Blunt!
A new clip from A Nightmare on Elm Street called “All I Have To Do Is Dream” (watch after the jump) shows Jackie Earle Haley (as Freddy Krueger) terrorizing Rooney Mara, an actress who looks just like Emily Blunt when she’s scared and half of her face is encased in fiery lighting and the other half in darkness. Am I wrong? Other questions: I’ve never seen an Elm Street — does Freddy run or does he just calmly walk toward his victims? Seems to me she could’ve knocked some crap off the supermarket shelves to make it hard for him to run toward her and then bolted. But I’m guessing, from the close-up of her ripping off a portion of his shirt, that he needed to get close to her so she could do that and wake up from her dream with the piece of clothing in her hand? Am I close?! READ FULL STORY »

Larry King to divorce for the eighth time. Who should he marry next?
Image Credit: Patrick EcclesineAnd then there were eight. Ex-wives, that is. Yep, turns out Larry King is divorcing from Shawn Southwick King, the woman who happens to be the talk show host’s eighth wife. (King was previously married to Annette Kaye, Frada Miller, Alene Akins, Mickey Sutphin, Sharon Lepore, and Julie Alexander; a spokesperson for the talk show host told People, “His major concern is the welfare of his children, and beyond that he’s not going to comment about the divorce.”) But don’t feel bad for him — look how happy he is in this picture!
So, of course, this begs the question: Who will be lucky bride No. 9? I’m pretty sure Carrie Prejean is a no-go, but I’m secretly rooting for for the obvious choice: Liz Taylor, who has also been married — and divorced — eight times. Hey, she’s single, Larry! After all, he’s gonna need someone to nurse him back to health in case there’s an ecoli oopbrike.

Jackie O makes a pop culture comeback
Image Credit: Everett CollectionMichelle Obama’s favorability rating stands at a whopping 78 percent, but she’s about to get some competition from another popular First Lady with an even more famous ‘do. Next year, it was announced yesterday, six hours of intimate interviews that the late Jackie Kennedy sat down for in 1964 — just months after her husband was assassinated — will be released by Hyperion Books. The interviews, conducted by family friend Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., reportedly cover everything from President Kennedy’s early political campaigns to the Cuban Missile Crisis to the complexities of the Kennedy family relations. But that’s not all: There may soon be a Jackie O movie, as well. As Hollywood Insider reported earlier today, Rachel Weisz has just been cast as the title character in Jackie, a biopic to be directed and produced by Weisz’s fiancee, Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler). The movie, currently shopping for a studio, will focus on the four days and nights following JFK’s murder in Dallas.
All of this got us thinking. Aside from Jackie Kennedy and Michelle Obama (and Hillary Clinton), we can’t think of any other First Ladies we’d want to see on the screen, much less hear from on old audio tape. But maybe we’re wrong. What do you think, Pop Watchers? Should Hollywood be working on Bess!, the gripping tale of Harry Truman’s wife? Or how about Rosalynn of Plains, the romantic adventures of Jimmy Carter’s true love? Somehow, it’s not working for us. But maybe you have a better idea…

'Today' show: Kate Gosselin's book title is scary
I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW that Kate appeared on this morning’s Today show to defend her upcoming reality series, Twist of Kate, on the same day that the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry decided not to file charges against the producers of TLC’s Jon & Kate Plus 8. “I don’t see another option,” said the author of I Just Want You To Know. “I have eight kids to provide for, and this is a great opportunity.” One of the tensest interviews you’ll ever see (or not!) is embedded after the jump. Is anyone else mesmerized by the totally ’80s “puzzling pixels” design of the Today show set? READ FULL STORY »
