'Salt' poster, starring Angelina Jolie's cheekbones

Filed under: Movies and tagged: ,

salt-posterAngelina Jolie is really good at disguises. Like, really, really good at it. So good that she managed to disguise herself as Jennifer Garner in this new poster for July 23′s Salt. (Eat your heart out, Rollin Hand.) Who is Salt? And where is she? The CIA will never find her — unless they happen to walk by Daredevil at the video store. What’s a video store?

Stevie B! You're making a documentary! We're so happy for ye!

Filed under: Movies, News and tagged: ,

Stephen-BaldwinImage Credit: Samir Hussein/Getty ImagesOh, rhyming is fun. Stevie B. — he of The Celebrity Apprentice and baptizing Spencer Pratt fame — is suddenly getting serious: According to The Hollywood Reporter, Stephen Baldwin is directing The Will to Drill, a documentary about the devastation related to the U.S. Gulf Coast oil spill. The Usual Suspects actor is also roping in some other A-list talent — Kevin Costner might serve as narrator. Apparently, Baldwin told THR that he doesn’t plan to point fingers in the picture: “This is not a blame game,” he told them. “Everyone is to blame for this oil thing, for our over-dependence on it. Not just one company.”

I could talk about how Baldwin said everyone’s to blame immediately after insisting “this isn’t a blame game,” but I won’t. Instead, I’ll choose to focus on the fact that Baldwin is zeroing on something important and respectable — something that doesn’t involve his own celebrity, for once. Does this mean Baldwin’s the second coming of Al Gore? I’m definitely hesitant to say so, considering this is a man who starred in movies called Earthstorm and Dark Storm in the course of one year. (I wonder which storm is worse?) But since I actually do like the guy — as much as I like to tease — I’m hoping this inspires a new career turn for Baldwin. You’re a celebrity, Stevie B, but get the heck outta those reality shows!

Are you interested to see how this pans out?

Seeing double: One week, one actor, two shows

judy-greerImage Credit: Eric McCandless/CBS; Monty Brinton/CBSA few weeks ago, Mike O’Malley was on both Parenthood and Glee — on the same night. Last week, Judy Greer was on The Big Bang Theory and then this Monday, she was on How I Met Your Mother. Last night, Tom Amandes was on Parenthood, and tonight, he’s in the premiere of The Good Guys. Gaah!

I’m big fans of all these actors — Amandes, in particular, will always have a special place in my heart as Dr. Abbott on Everwood. O’Malley’s been fantastic as Kurt’s flannel-and-sports dad on Glee, but his doofy poet on Parenthood is pretty great, too. And who doesn’t love Judy Greer? She is extremely lovable and great, even though I wish she’d stop getting cast as characters who are just the butt of the joke. And yet this feels like overload. Let me learn to miss you, actors!

Have you noticed your favorite players in multiple shows in the same week, PopWatchers? The same week! Oy, the mind reels….

Bret Michaels interview on 'Oprah': Every hospital bed has its badass bandana

“Bret, you’re aliiiiiiiive!” Oprah boomed at the beginning of today’s talk show. Recovering cowboy Bret Michaels appeared via satellite from Phoenix in his first television interview since his April 21 brain hemorrhage. He sounded fine, his royal blue bandana was pressed and thick-cut, and the cold sore he was rocking on the penultimate episode of The Celebrity Apprentice was nowhere in sight.

There was a noticeable droop on one side of his face — a rep for Michaels confirmed to Access Hollywood today that “this is a result of the hemorrhage and possibly exacerbated by some of the medications he is on” and is hopeful that with further rehabilitation, the droop will eventually go away. After a dramatic crossfade from Bret’s CAT Scan to a photograph of his real noggin, Bret told Oprah about the “thunderclap” effect of his sudden brain trauma. “It sounded like a small handgun went off in the back of my head,” said Michaels. “There was no lead-up at all. It just exploded.” READ FULL STORY »

Clip du jour: Ghostbusters protect the New York Public Library -- again

Improv Everywhere, the same folks behind the I-wish-they-would-try-it-on-me mission “Ted’s Birthday,” struck the New York Public Library for their latest Ghostbusters-themed stunt. I like how barely anyone bats an eye when the first man wearing a ghost sheet enters the room. Because, in New York, you probably have a neighbor who wears a ghost sheet on a regular basis for no reason whatsoever. Ah, the city. READ FULL STORY »

Adam Shankman producing 'Mean Girls'-esque 'Mean Moms'. What was your worst experience with a mean parent?

Filed under: Movies, News and tagged: ,

mean-momsThe idea of Regina George as a mother is anything but fetch. In fact, it’s pretty petrifying. But apparently, even years after mean girls graduate from high school, they can still fail to acquire the emotional maturity necessary to transform into functional, likable human beings. They can turn into “mean moms.”

And now, we can prepare to see it on the big screen: Variety reports that Adam Shankman is producing Mean Moms, a film inspired by Rosalind Wiseman’s Queen Bee Moms and Kin Pin Dads: Dealing with the Parents, Teachers, Coaches, and Counselors Who Can Make — or Break — Your Child’s Future.

MacGruber is embarrassed about old nude modeling shots.

Filed under: Television and tagged: , ,

No doubt, MacGruber is compiling a pen, piece of gum, and some WD-40 in an attempt to make the Internet explode so we don’t have to see these NSFW pictures from his old nude modeling days. As he says on his Twitter: “So bummed. Some of my old modeling pics just surfaced. The website http://www.wwtdd.com/ can go to hell! Nobody go there!” Except, we’re all going there, MacGruber. And trying really, really hard to believe your insistence that “it was really really warm in that room!”

I’m not sure where this little stunt originated — the studio tells EW the photos are not part of a formal marketing campaign — but it’s still making me a wee bit more excited about MacGruber‘s opening. (Note: Any dirty puns in that sentence were not intended.) Even if the Photoshop is iffy. So I guess we’ll have to consult Nanna MacGruber to find out what his real “micro-penis” looks like.

Ellen Page starring in 'Freeheld': The role that finally separates her from 'Juno'?

ellen-pageImage Credit: Glenn Harris/PR PhotosEllen Page’s star first fell on Hollywood’s map when the young actress starred as a vengeful teen in 2005′s Hard Candy. Then came a role as mutant Kitty Pryde in 2006′s superhero blockbuster X-Men: The Last Stand. But, of course, once 2007 rolled along, most theater-going folks associated Page with Juno MacGuff, the plucky, pregnant teen from Juno that stole America’s hearts — and won Page an Oscar nomination.

Fast-forward three years later, and Page still has yet to play a role that has audiences reaching for their hamburger phones. READ FULL STORY »

Hey, hey, hey, Bill Cosby's back (or is he?) on 'The Tonight Show'

Filed under: Television and tagged: ,

Bill Cosby was a guest on Jay Leno’s The Tonight Show last night, and he gave a stand-up performance worth sitting down for. The 72-year-old comic icon riffed on getting old and talking on the phone. (All that was missing was: Can you hear me now?) Check out the clip after the jump. Does Dr. Huxtable still have it? Would you pay to see him do stand up (or rather sit down)? READ FULL STORY »
