'Prince of Persia': How are we feeling about Jake's hair?
Image Credit: Andrew CooperPrince of Persia: The Sands of Time opened at No. 1 in 18 of the 19 foreign markets it debuted in over the weekend, The Los Angeles Times reports. Its estimated $18 million haul topped that of 2004′s National Treasure, but not 2008′s Iron Man or 2005′s Kingdom of Heaven. Disney noted that unseasonably warm weather in Western Europe may have kept moviegoers away from theaters, but we’re wondering if maybe it was Jake Gyllenhaal’s hair.* As Michael Slezak pointed out, “It looks unnatural on him, a little unhealthy, too.” Our photo editor Connie Yu concurred: “Essentially, he has the same look as Sawyer on Lost, but it just doesn’t work for him. All that facial hair, bushy brows, scruffy beard, and the shaggy hair — it just makes him look unkempt not sexy.”
Is Gyllenhaal’s hair a deterrent to you seeing Prince of Persia? We have until Friday to warm up to it in the States.

'Lost' finale Target commercials: Right on target
Perhaps you were miffed about Lost‘s 45 minutes of commercials last night, but if one good thing came from the lengthy breaks, it was Target’s awesome Lost-themed spots. After watching the trio of commercials, I’m not sure which product I would like to purchase more: The smoke detector, barbecue sauce, or a computer keyboard. I think I’ll go with the computer keyboard, though, since I know the frustration that comes with spilling Dharma beer water all over my computer.

'The Bachelorette' returns tonight, as does self-medicating Mojito Monday
Image Credit: Bob D'Amico/ABCThe new season of The Bachelorette starring 25-year-old Ali Fedotowsky premieres tonight (ABC, 9 p.m. ET), which means I’ll be stopping after work for one to three mojitos. It was a tradition begun during Jake Pavelka’s “journey.” I’m not saying it’s healthy, I’m just saying that I can’t not watch a Bachelor or Bachelorette — and that I can no longer watch them entirely sober. A season premiere is especially difficult, what with everyone trying to make a memorable first impression. I just watched a few teaser clips on Hulu, and we’ve got a guy on crutches who explains that he injured himself because he does professional wrestling and a man who explains that he got his nickname, Shooter, freshman year in college because he may have “accidentally” prematurely ejaculated. I wish I’d known that reveal was coming because I have a bottle of Top Chef Quickfire Chardonnay sitting on my desk, and I would have opened it.
P.S. I can’t wait to see Kyle, a self-proclaimed mountain man from Colorado who boasts that he’s killed everything from a bear to a dove (a dove?!), meet Ali. You know he brings her some kind of clothing or jewelry made from one of his kills.
Anyone else have a Bachelor/Bachelorette ritual? Does it involve alcohol?

'MacGruber': I Saw It, So You Don't Have To!
Image Credit: Greg PetersMacGruber took sixth place this weekend, netting $4.1 million thanks to suckers like me. There were 13 people in my theater in downtown Brooklyn. I got to splay my ogre legs across about five empty chairs (just call me The Ultimate Tool) and turn my brain off for 82 minutes. It was one of the dumbest movies ever, but the experience was honestly pretty fun. I started cackling just a few seconds in at the slowed-down theme song during Will Forte’s sax solo. I guess you have to be in a certain mood!
One thing that surprised me (other than my appreciation for ridiculous ’80s music used to accompany sticky situations) was how much I liked Ryan Phillippe as Lt. Dixon Piper, the straight man to Will Forte’s MacGruber. I still find that I can’t conceive of Phillippe as anyone other than Sebastian Valmont from Cruel Intentions. Even his character’s trajectory was kind of similar, as Dixon went from impenetrable snob to loosened-up team player, the kind who (SPOILER ALERT but nobody cares) isn’t above using household materials — a celery stalk and his bubbleicious ass — to save the day.
If you enjoy the “MacGruber” sketch on SNL, you should see MacGruber. As long as you go into it expecting “zero” or “the worst,” you will probably laugh a lot. There are a bunch of subtle comedic moments amidst the spectacularly lame explosions. It’s not totally worthless, like a loaded gun.
Anyone else want to defend MacGruber?

Sean Hayes hosting the Tonys: Is this sweet vindication?
Image Credit: Andrew H. Walker/Getty ImagesLooks like Sean Hayes is getting the last laugh. The actor — who’s been the center of controversy after Newsweek writer Ramin Setoodeh wrote that the gay Hayes was unbelievable in his straight role in the Broadway musical revival of Promises, Promises — was just announced as the host of the 2010 Tony Awards, which will air on CBS June 13.
The news is especially interesting, considering that just today there had been speculation about whether Hayes — and his Promises costar Kristin Chenoweth — would perform at the awards show. (You see, Promises, Promises wasn’t exactly the most critically loved, or Tony-nominated show, but it has been selling tickets very well nonetheless.) The release from CBS did not specify whether Hayes would be performing at the Tonys, but it seems all but inevitable at this point, since he’ll be on stage so much anyway. And who wouldn’t want to see Hayes and Chenoweth — two well-known celebrities — perform “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again”? A rep for the Tonys tells us that a performance line-up will be confirmed in about a week or so.

'True Blood' clip shows shirtless, post-coital Eric. (Why bury the lead?)
The Most Anticipated Abs of Summer 2010, those of True Blood‘s Alexander Skarsgard, have made their debut in a new clip from the HBO drama’s upcoming third season. Watch it here. Sookie goes to see Eric at Fangtasia, convinced that he’s the one who abducted Bill. Eric has an alibi — six hours of sex with new dancer Yvetta — and promises that as sheriff of the area in which Bill resides, it’s his duty to find him, “even if I do want what is his.” (Looking at Sookie’s cleavage twice was a nice touch: A human male would have looked once; vampires with super sex drives, definitely twice.)
Is this clip enough to suddenly make you want to win tickets to the True Blood Ultimate Fan Experience? Go to the show’s Facebook page to enter. On June 1, movie theaters in 50 cities will host a live simulcast Q&A with creator Alan Ball and cast members, as well as a screening of the season 2 finale and a sneak peek at what’s to come in season 3. Resist the urge to make a dirty joke, resist the urge to make a dirty joke, resist the urge to make a dirty joke…

Paula Abdul reportedly joining CBS' 'Got to Dance'; let's hope it resembles her 'Cold Hearted' video
She clearly hasn’t been in a “Rush, Rush” to return to television since leaving American Idol at the end of its eighth season, but Paula Abdul has confirmed today that she will join CBS’ upcoming reality series Got to Dance. According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Abdul will serve as the lead judge, executive producer, creative partner, mentor and coach” (that’s a lot of titles!) on the U.S. edition of Got to Dance, which is based on a hit British competition that allows viewers to vote for hoofers from a variety of age groups and dance genres.
Now while I’m not the biggest fan of Paula Abdul: Reality Judge/VH1 Divas host, I would be telling a hideously big lie if I said I wasn’t a long-time connoisseur of The Lady Abdul’s dance moves — from her work on Janet Jackson’s “Nasty” all the way to her “Crazy Cool” pole-dancing/bull-riding shenanigans. I mean, who among us didn’t spend the entire fall of 1989 glued to the TV set, waiting for MTV to play the sizzling clip for “Cold Hearted“? READ FULL STORY »
