Robert Pattinson likes foreplay (in the 'Twilight' series)

Categories: Eclipse, Movies, Robert Pattinson, Sexytimes, Twilight

stewart-pattinsonWould the Twilight series be as sexy had Edward given in to Bella’s desire sooner? Robert Pattinson doesn’t think so. ”Anyone who likes the books, they all think they’re really sexy. They just like that moment before [sex] … the kind of tipping point before it goes over,” he told Nightline in an interview that aired last night. “I mean, everybody likes that. That’s the best part, for a relationship.”

The man speaks the truth. It’s why the sexiest moment of any Twilight film will always be those seconds when Edward and Bella are leaning in for a kiss. Still, he said you’ve got to seal the deal sometime. ”If there was a hard and fast decision by both [Bella and Edward] saying, ‘Yeah we’re going to remain virgins our entire lives, it’s never gonna happen,’ I don’t think it would be as popular a series.” Also very true.

As for the rest of the interview, READ FULL STORY »

Jennifer Aniston gets 'aggressive sexually' in 'Horrible Bosses.' We're excited...but not for the reasons you'd think!

Categories: Movies, Sexytimes

Jennifer-AnistonImage Credit: Janet Mayer/PR PhotosBREAKING: Jennifer Aniston will be “aggressive sexually” in her upcoming comedy Horrible Bosses, according to People. Oh my god, guys, what would Rachel Green think?! (In all truth, she’d probably shrug and head to Ralph Lauren to pick up a black turtleneck tee and a bra with shoddy lining.) Admittedly, the thought of seeing Aniston play sexy does give me pause — her girl-next-door vibe might work against her, in the same way it did Katherine Heigl in The Ugly Truth‘s uncomfortable, ahem, “sexy” underwear scene. (And, really, I only like my steamy Aniston inside the confines of a planetarium.) Putting that aside, though, I’m quite bullish on Aniston’s upcoming comedy — about three co-workers who conspire to murder their bosses — and my enthusiasm has nothing to do with said headline-making kinkiness.

Yes, it does have something to do with co-star Charlie Day, who I would watch even if his day job consisted of peddling Kitten Mittons on QVC. But also because, really, Aniston has a pretty good track record when it comes to her ensemble films. READ FULL STORY »

'The Real Housewives of New York City' recap: Reunion, part deux

by
Categories: Real Housewives, Reality TV, TV Recap

Her hair was refluffed, her spray tan resheened. Okay, viewers, let her have it. Oh dear, it was hard not to feel for the old gal watching the second segment of this reunion special. She’s trying so hard to reclaim her place in our hearts. She told Bethenny that she is a beautiful, talented girl who deserves boffo ratings for her spin-off show and then practically begged her former friend to share with viewers at home how she reached out—”I texted you and said if you need me I will get on a plane to California, didn’t I?”—after her Dad died. I do believe that Jill wants Bethenny to forgive her, but ideally she wants it done on camera so fans will similarly let their grudges go. “This is not so much about your relationship with Bethenny,” said Alex, in her shrewd albeit cold take on Jill’s mea culpa. “I think you cared about how bad you looked.”

Five-word speeches at this year's Webby Awards: Could you have done better?

by
Categories: About Last Night, Advertising, Everyone's a Critic, I'm Just a Geek, Television, This Could Be Interesting..., YouTube

At last night’s Webby Awards, where a five-word acceptance speech is the only barrier between the winners and a room full of scoffs and harsh judgment from peers, the offerings turned out to be a tad disappointing. Last year, Jimmy Fallon’s “Thank God, Conan got promoted” was honest, self-deprecating, and personal, without being an inside joke that no one could understand. In other words, everything a five-worder should be.

This year, however, contained a number of offenses. First, you had the cheaters (BBDO – “Please visit bbdoacceptancespeech.com”), followed by the overtly commercial (NYTimes.com – “All the news that’s fit.”), and worst of all, the downright boring (BBC News’ “About to become even better.”). Groan.

Others chose to use their five words for a cause. OK Go went with “Fight for net neutrality now,” while Isabella Rossellini, accepting for Green Porno, took on the oil spill (and if you have that kind of filthy mind, a nod to her series): “I say, plug the hole.” Alrighty then! If I were giving out awards for last night’s speeches, here’s how it’d go down:

WTF AWARD
Buzz Aldrin – “Humanity. Colonization. Phobos. Monolith. Mars!”

BEST USE OF NOSTALGIA
Pandora – “Didn’t kill the radio star”

THEY’RE PROBABLY TOTALLY SINCERE AWARD
CNET.com – “Found iPhone 5? Call CNet.” READ FULL STORY »

Chris Harrison blogs 'The Bachelorette': Episode 4

by
Categories: Chris Harrison, Reality TV, The Bachelorette, Things That Are Awesome!

Chris-HarrisonImage Credit: Bob D'Amico/ABCI’ve entitled this week’s episode “Guard and Protect Your Heart.” This was easily the best and yes, most dramatic episode so far. Before we dive in let’s answer some of your questions from last week. I love that somebody mentioned that none of the guys have hair on their chest. This person went on to ask if this is natural. Obviously, the answer is no. Most of the guys trim, shave, or wax their chest hair. I took a very informal poll (I asked one woman) and discovered that if a guy has a great body, then this is preferred. Now I pose this question to you: Is the hairless look preferred by most women, or do you stand by the old adage “Real men have chest hair”? Leave your comments below, and we’ll continue this debate next week.

Another commenter asked where the guys go after they are let go. The short answer is they go home. Obviously, they spend the night wherever we are, but they go home shortly after being eliminated. I know all the talk today around the water cooler (does anybody really ever talk around an actual water cooler?) is about Kasey and his actions this week. I need a minute to gather my thoughts and try to digest all of what I just saw, so let’s start with the other dates and then we’ll build up to Kasey.

The producers and staff know I love them, but I want to once again give major props to all those who create and put these dates together. This particular episode was visually awesome to watch. READ FULL STORY »

'Bachelorette' instant reaction: In which our heroine's heart is guarded and protected (and tattooed on someone's wrist)

by
Categories: About Last Night, Reality TV, The Bachelorette

Bachelorette-AliImage Credit: Steve Fenn/ABCWe began the “traveling around the world” portion of the proceedings with a stop in New York City. Kasey scored the first date, a night at the museum, which, let’s just say, he did not allow to become boring. (Singing the song that was in his heart: check. Confessing that he wanted to be with her forever: check. Multiple references to guarding and protecting and guarding hearts: check.) On the group date to The Lion King, one lucky guy got to wear a pair of mossy-looking tights while suspended over a Broadway stage with Ali during “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?” (Hint: Roberto’s as good at Broadway auditions as he is at wooing the ladies.) And Ali got sick, throwing all the guys into a hero-complex tizzy; but she rallied to take Chris L. on a truly romantic birthday date. Oh, right, and someone got a tattoo to prove his undying (but protected and guarded) love. You’ve seen the promos. You know.

The full recap with all the specifics will be up soon [UPDATE: The full Bachelorette recap is live!], but if you’ve already watched and want to weigh in on how much love you felt tonight, read on after the jump for more. [SPOILER ALERT: Read on only if you've already watched Monday's Bachelorette. Seriously.]

Microsoft Kinect: We tried out the games, and they're fun (for the most part)

by
Categories: E3, Games, Tech, Videogames

KinectImage Credit: Damian Dovarganes/AP ImagesMicrosoft announced Monday that Kinect, its new motion-detection add-on for the Xbox 360 gaming system, would hit stores Nov. 4 with a slate of 15 games. This announcement followed an elaborate presentation on Sunday that portrayed Kinect as nothing less than a significant step forward in human evolution. Okay, but is it any fun? I got to try my hand at several of Kinect’s launch titles, including Kinect Adventures!, Kinect Joy Ride, Kinect Sports, and Your Shape, and yes, Kinect is certainly fun. But at the moment, the device comes off as merely a slightly upgraded version of the Nintendo Wii. There’s huge potential here, but Kinect still needs some tinkering. After the jump, a detailed report of each game: READ FULL STORY »

Kinect: Microsoft's answer to the Wii

by
Categories: E3, Games, Things That Are Awesome!, Videogames

xbox_360_slimAfter a year of speculation and a blockbuster presentation last night, Microsoft officially revealed (most) of the important details surrounding its motion-control camera — once dubbed Project Natal, now called Kinect — to assembled gaming press and industry today in Los Angeles. The camera system will debut in North America on Nov. 4 with 15 launch titles and will be compatible with all current Xbox 360 consoles. Curiously, Microsoft did not announce a price for the Kinect, although gaming blog Kotaku is reporting that GameStop is charging $149 for Kinect pre-orders. As a kicker, Microsoft also announced that a smaller, slimmer version of the Xbox 360 (in a shiny black case, with a 250 GB hard drive and wifi internet capability built in) will be shipping to stores today for the same $299 price as the old Xbox 360.

But back to Kinect. Is it worth all the hype? Depends on what kind of gamer you are. READ FULL STORY »

Witness the Epic World Cup Commercial, starring Homer Simpson, Cristiano Ronaldo, and the entire planet

by
Categories: Advertising, Sports, The Simpsons, Things That Are Awesome!

The new World Cup-themed commercial from Nike is one of the best advertisements of all time. Heck, I’m just barely holding myself back from calling it one of the best soccer movies of all time. Featuring a cross-cultural cast stacked with some of the best players in the world, the ad cuts from on-the-field action to viewers watching around the world. It also features a few kitchen-sink cameos by non-soccer celebrities, because why not? Quick, watch it after the jump before I spoil anything… READ FULL STORY »
