Clip du jour: Tarsiers love Jay-Z

Internet, bring me more silly videos of funny-looking animals synced to Jay-Z songs! If there’s not a slow loris video set to “Hello Brooklyn” pretty soon, I’m going to be sad. READ FULL STORY »

Dave Annable to replace Matt Bomer in Anna Faris movie: Who's dreamier?

Filed under: Movies and tagged: ,

Matt-Bomer-David-AnnableImage Credit: David Giesbrecht/USA Network; Justin Stephens/ABCBrothers & Sisters‘ Dave Annable is in talks to replace White Collar‘s Matt Bomer in the Anna Faris comedy What’s Your Number? According to The Hollywood Reporter, Bomer has a scheduling conflict with his USA series, so Annable will now play Faris’ dream guy in the film, about a woman (Faris), who upon sleeping with her 20th guy, realizes that it’s too many and she must have missed her Mr. Right along the way. He’ll join a cast that already includes Zachary Quinto, Joel McHale, and Chris Evans.

This is a nice break for Annable (and sounds 100 times better than his upcoming romcom with Katherine McPhee), but I can’t help thinking that Bomer is, in fact, dreamier. Discuss.

Alec Baldwin 'SNL' promos arrive, bring the funny

Filed under: Television and tagged: , ,

The first promos for the Alec Baldwin-hosted season finale of Saturday Night Live are here. Watch them after the jump. He reveals the show’s cliffhanger, twists Will Forte’s nipple (that explains why Forte was smiling at the start of the take, he knew what was coming), and finds a way to plug MacGruber that doesn’t feel forced at all. Yes, he really is a pro.

Justin Bieber lights up 'Oprah'

bieber-oprahI haven’t been 16 years old in a long time, so watching Justin Bieber on yesterday’s Oprah was a surreal experience for these aging eyes. Bieber grinning. Girls squealing. Oprah fawning. Sometimes you see a teenage superstar and you walk away thinking, “I can’t believe he’s only 16.” With Bieber, though, it’s more like, “He’s definitely 16. He screams 16. He’ll always be 16.”

In reality, though, there’s nothing “16″ about his life. He told Oprah that he gets at least one day off each week “to be a regular kid,” but then said in the next breath that he sometimes just spends that day sleeping because he’s so exhausted. Fun. READ FULL STORY »

'Glee' promo: Already obsessed with 'Dream On'?

Confession: I may have rewound the promo for next week’s episode of Glee, featuring Neil Patrick Harris as Matthew Morrison’s old rival and current nightmare, three times. And when I say “the promo,” I really mean just the three seconds of Harris and Morrison belting “Dream On.” That number has a lot to live up to: According to PopWatch polls, Harris was by far the Glee guest star readers were most looking forward to in the second half of the season, and this duet was the most-anticipated number. I find it sort of odd that the promo didn’t mention that the episode is directed by Joss Whedon, but perhaps Fox thinks anyone that matters to already knows. Watch the promo (again) after the jump. How many times did you rewind? How confident are you that “Dream On” will end up being as awesome as Harris’ flashback mullet?

'Super 8' teaser trailer: And so we wait...

Filed under: Movies and tagged: , , ,

Now that you’ve had a few days to process the teaser trailer for Super 8, the top-secret collaboration between director J.J. Abrams and producer Steven Spielberg, what are you thinking is inside that train car that’s derailed while on its way from Nevada’s Area 51 to a secure facility in Ohio in 1979 — and what will it do when it gets out? The $45 million movie, which Abrams will shoot this fall before moving on to Star Trek 2, is said to be an homage to the sci-fi films he loves as a teenager. Guesses? Go! READ FULL STORY »

'American Idol': On the scene for Top 4 performance night

Idol-Jamie-FoxxImage Credit: Frank Micelotta/PictureGroupLast night was only my fifth visit to the Idoldome, and already a wave of Groundhog Day déjà vu has taken hold of me. Is Corey the Warm-Up Comic really asking two young women to show off their best Beyoncé moves yet again? Is the Casey-Kara-cougar relationship really still a topic of conversation this late in the game? And is Lee really going to perform Seal’s “Kiss from a Rose” only three weeks after Big Mike sang Chad Kroeger’s rip-off “Hero”? (Listen to the two superhero songs and convince me they aren’t identical twins separated at birth). But despite feeling like my time in the Idoldome was some sort of glitch in the Matrix, it’s impossible not to feed off the excitement of all the audience members around you. As Corey reminds us each week, this is the No. 1 show on TV, so lighten up, John, and bask in Idol‘s soothing, repetitive warmth. READ FULL STORY »

New 'Glee' episode: How 'Super Mario Bros. 3' saved the world

Filed under: Glee and tagged:

Am I the only one who sometimes forgets that Glee is a high school show? Maybe it’s because of all the adult characters, or maybe it’s because the show sometimes takes place in a musical fantasy world, but Glee doesn’t seem to have much in common with high school shows like 90210 or Gossip Girl. Of course, everybody on Glee looks pretty normal, unlike the model-pretty stars of, let’s see, EVERY OTHER HIGH SCHOOL SHOW EVER. (Except My So-Called Life. And Freaks and Geeks. And that Canadian show…) SPOILERS ABOUND after the jump!

'Lost' instant reaction: What did you think of 'Across The Sea'?

Filed under: Lost, Television and tagged: ,

Lost-Across-SeaImage Credit: Mario Perez/ABCThey are not Cain and Abel. They are not Jacob and Esau. At least not the Jacob and Esau that we know from the Bible. They are not angels or demons, they are not gods or monsters, and they are certainly not incarnations of dead castaways like Juliet and Daniel Faraday. (Seriously! Whoever came up with that last idea was, like, totally stupid or totally high or totally nuts! Somebody shoot that guy before he hurts someone with nutty theories!) No, in the end, Jacob and the Man In Black turned out to have something in common with a lot of characters on Lost. [SPOILERS FOR "ACROSS THE SEA" FROM HERE ON OUT. REALLY.] READ FULL STORY »
