Universal has released another theatrical trailer for July 9′s Despicable Me, the supervillain-oriented animated movie starring Steve Carell, from Ice Age producer Chris Meledandri. Unlike the first trailer (kid bounces off a pyramid), and the second (Carell’s Gru gets repeatedly thwarted by his supervillain archenemy Vector), this one delivers more narration, more of Gru’s vast army of minions, who resemble shelled peanuts (SNL‘s Stefon might call the minions on this movie poster a “non-human bathmat”), and a better glimpse of Gru’s domestic life. Supervillains: They’re just like us! They get annoyed by lines for coffee! They have to deal with small problems (three kids on the doorstep)! They go to ballet recitals! They win stuffed animals at the Games Games Games Games arcade for the little ones! They want to go steal the moon! READ FULL STORY »

'The Green Hornet' trailer: Seth Rogen and (the most crush-worthy) Jay Chou suit up
The trailer for The Green Hornet, the adaptation of the comic book hero who masquerades as a villain in his fight for good, has hit the Web. Seth Rogen is the titular hero, Cameron Diaz his snappy secretary (thank you, Rogen & Co., for not hiring some 21-year-old newbie instead), and Oscar winner Christoph Waltz looks interesting as the ultimate crime lord. The delightful Michel Gondry is at the helm, which is just one more refreshing bit of the unexpected.
When Rogen’s character Britt, whom IMDB describes as the “debonair newspaper publisher,” hears of his father’s death, Rogen assumes his sad face, which made me kind of want to tickle his tummy and make him laugh. I most easily took him seriously in the early party scenes — Britt begins the movie as a boozing, privileged buffoon to his father’s stoic crusader — and when he was gasping in that nasal, froggy wheeze over gadgetry. That said, I believe I may have found a new crush in Jay Chou, who plays the Green Hornet’s inventive wing man Kato. (One desperate plea: Just as women should stop tripping or getting oopsy drunk in romantic comedies, the guys have gotta stop with the “no touching, dude” bit. It’s tired and mean.) READ FULL STORY »
'Wipeout': Host Jill Wagner talks spills, big red balls
Image Credit: ABCI like to watch other people fall down. It’s just funny. And don’t think I’m above falling myself. As a matter of fact, it happens frequently, and I know others enjoy it. It’s that simple principle that has led ABC’s Wipeout to summertime success. Contestants take on different obstacle courses in an effort to knock out the competition and win the $50,000 grand prize. The new season premieres tonight, and with 60 obstacles added to the course, there will be no shortage of falls. Host Jill Wagner took some time to answer some questions about the show, and share her behind-the-scenes secrets.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Why do you think the show has been so successful?
JILL WAGNER: I think that people love Wipeout simply because it’s just plain, simple fun. Falling down — I mean, I know you probably laugh when you see people fall down, as long as they don’t get hurt. It’s the same thing with Wipeout. It’s never going to get old. I think that kids really love it, and it’s a really good family show. It’s nice to see something that you can sit down with your kids and watch them laugh and also laugh as well.
What’s the worst wipeout you’ve seen on the show?
That [answer] would take entirely too long. There’s like a billion. It seems like every day I go out, I’m like, “Okay, it’s not going to get worse today. It can’t get any worse.” And then it does. I mean people surprise me, though. People’s bodies can bend in ways that I never thought they could unless they had been drinking, and they haven’t been drinking. It’s a little bit of Wipeout madness. It’s crazy. READ FULL STORY »
Chris Harrison blogs 'The Bachelorette': Episode 5
Image Credit: Bob D'Amico/ABCYes, I’m back and still guarding and still protecting your heart. I’d like to thank you for helping me last week with my informal poll about male grooming. The overwhelming feeling out there is that you ladies like a real man, and apparently that means having a little hair on his chest. Aren’t you glad we can come together and solve the world’s problems like this?
I want to step back a couple weeks and clear up a funny controversy that was started when some of you — and Joel McHale on The Soup (big fan of that show, btw) — noticed Justin’s cast switched legs on his hike up to Ali’s house. Justin hurt his leg the day before we started shooting the show. It really was hurt and in reality, his cast didn’t switch legs. Our editors sometimes flip the video, which is essentially using the mirror image of a shot. The reason they do this from time to time is simple: It looks prettier. With this mirror image being used, it appeared Justin’s cast switched legs. As you’ll see next week, Justin might be manipulating many things, but he wasn’t faking his injury.
I said last week, this season really gets started with the episode you saw tonight. READ FULL STORY »
'Bachelorette' instant reaction: Bad poetry and glacier breakups make up for the least dramatic rose ceremony ever
Let us pause, Bachelorette fans, and appreciate the gravity of the moment we have just witnessed: The least. Dramatic. Rose ceremony. Ever. But, hey, we did get a pretty dramatic — if totally irrelevant, I am convinced, to Ali’s overall journey — two-on-one date. What I’m saying is: Thank goodness for Kasey’s tattoo, or Iceland would’ve been pretty lame, even with its historic volcano erupting.
We began our time in the land of frozen water with the guys trying their best (at the producers’ urging, no doubt) to convince us of the impending excitement of their trip. “Not in a million years did I think I would come to Iceland to find love,” said one. “I never thought I’d come to Iceland to find love,” said another. “I think Iceland will be the right place to show her my tattoo,” said a third. (Guess who.) Then we learned the two twists of the week: There would be a sudden-death-type two-on-one date, from which only one man would emerge with a rose; and all the guys would have to write Ali poems to compete for the one-on-one date. God help us.
The full recap with all the specifics, including some detailed literary analysis of the men’s poetic creations, will be up soon [update: here it is!], but if you’ve already watched and want to weigh in on their use of imagery and metaphor — or their revelation of tattoos and wearing of sweaters and riding of horses — read on after the jump for more. [SPOILER ALERT: Read on only if you've already watched Monday's Bachelorette. Seriously.]
Perez Hilton tweets another 'racy' Miley Cyrus photo: How are we supposed to react?
Image Credit: Cyrus: Fotonoticias/WireImage.com; Hilton: Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic.comApparently figuring the stove wasn’t hot enough the first time, Perez Hilton is back touching it: Today, the notorious gossip feeder tweetered another photo of Miley Cyrus, writing ever so discreetly, “Oh, #Miley! Warning: if you’re easily offended, do NOT click here”… because everyone knows that’s the quickest way to stop people from clicking there.
If you did click there, what you found was a gallery of photos featuring Miley Cyrus at last night’s MuchMusic Awards — specifically a shot of the teen star mid-performance of “Can’t Be Tamed,” experiencing what looks to be a very unflattering leotard crotch malfunction. Yes, just one week after running a (faked) photo of Cyrus getting out of a car sans pantaloons, Hilton has, oops, gone and done it again… pulled advertisers and threats of legal action be damned. I wouldn’t recommend staring too long at today’s image, but the “offending” area doesn’t make a lot of anatomical sense even if you do. This is really just another tempest in a teenaged teapot, and now we’re all gonna get our very-present knickers in a knot over knothing. READ FULL STORY »
Khloe Kardashian spends 30 minutes discussing her 'swollen mess' of a vagina: Why don't I despise her?
So last night I subjected myself to another episode of “Kourtney” and “Khloe” Take Miami, after which I drank myself into a stupor from which I just recently awoke. In my mind, I keep reliving soundbites about vaginal waxing, anal bleaching, and breast-milk guzzling from the sisters Kardashian: READ FULL STORY »
'Real Housewives of New York City': Bethenny Frankel threatens to leave, makes one big demand
Bethenny Frankel may be leaving The Real Housewives of New York City, People reports. One of the original members of the Bravo reality show, Frankel cites her fellow cast members as the reason she may walk away. “I don’t see myself going back to The Real Housewives the way that the cast is now,” she told People.
That’s a classy way of saying she can’t stand these ladies anymore. This season left the housewives divided, with Bethenny and her former best friend Jill Zarin becoming the central conflict of the show. After countless (not count-ess) attempts at reconciliation and a (grueling) three-part reunion special, things still seemed tense between the women. Should Bravo listen to Bethenny’s request for some changes? Or is The Real Housewives of New York City better off without her? Take our poll after the jump! READ FULL STORY »

M. Night Shyamalan casting next project: Can he get his mojo back?
It’s definitely been a rocky road for M. Night Shyamalan since the director scored Oscar nominations for writing and directing The Sixth Sense over a decade ago. Signs was a massive hit, but The Village disappointed most fans. And I defy you to even remember what The Happening was. I’m not sure how The Last Airbender will fare when it’s released on July 1, but The Hollywood Reporter‘s Heat Vision blog has info on Shyamalan’s next project, a secretive drama that’s said to have three big stars “loosely attached”: Bradley Cooper, Gwyneth Paltrow, and two-time Shyamalan leading man Bruce Willis. So even if he hasn’t directed a smash in a while, Shyamalan still seems to have the magic touch when it comes to attracting A-listers.
So if these top Hollywood stars are willing to give Shyamalan another shot, should we as well? Or is he still dead to you after Lady in the Water?
