Every single thing ever written about Inception comes with a big old SPOILER ALERT. But there’s a YouTube video which reveals something so brilliant, so hidden-right-in-plain-sight-and-yet-utterly-invisible, that…well, just watch the clip after the jump! READ FULL STORY »

'America's Next Top Model': Which contestant has had the most successful post-'ANTM' career?
I recently saw the film The Kids Are All Right, and between marveling at Julianne Moore’s performance and Mark Ruffalo’s chest hair, I couldn’t help but notice the acting skills of another one of the film’s stars, Yaya DaCosta, better known as a Cycle 3 contestant on America’s Next Top Model.
Our Brown-educated girl (how could we forget that tidbit with the number of times she said it on the show?) has come a long way from smizing and losing to Eva Pigford (now Eva Marcille for acting purposes).
Before she landed the role as Ruffalo’s friend with benefits in The Kids Are All Right, DaCosta appeared on Law & Order: SVU and multiple episodes of both All My Children and Ugly Betty. In December, she can be seen seen in Tron: Legacy as one of two Sirens.
Tyra would be proud!
And let’s not forget the other contestants who’ve made a name for themselves in the modeling world: READ FULL STORY »

I'm excited for Shawn Levy and Fox's 'terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.'
Like many kids, when I was little, I had frequent reading nights with my family. I would select a book, as would my two older brothers, and we would read them to our parents. For the most part, this was really fun. (Except for when I would get scolded for reading in a monotone voice. “Start again, Breia. This time with some intonation.” True story.) And because we were children, we often picked the same book for each reading.
One of our go-to literary works was Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst. I found it completely entertaining that so many things could go wrong for poor Alexander. (What a little sadist I was!) It was only after I had several terrible, horrible, no good, very bad days of my own that I began to feel some sympathy for him. And some days really are terrible, horrible, no good, very bad days. But today is definitely not one of them.
Because this Tuesday brought news that Shawn Levy and 20th Century Fox will adapt Alexander for the big screen as a high-concept family comedy. Levy’s 21 Laps will develop and produce the project. The screenplay, written by Rob Lieber, will follow the family members as they “collectively endure the worst day of their lives.” If you ask me, if anyone can translate the magic of Viorst’s classic tale to theaters, it’s Levy, director of family hit Night at the Museum.
And just so you know, if this movie isn’t good, I’m moving to Australia. Who else is pumped?

Pacey-Con: Joshua Jackson celebrates the greatest character in television history. Ever.
Joshua Jackson headed to San Diego last weekend for a convention — Pacey-Con. Watch the Funny or Die exclusive video below and marvel at how more people don’t seem to be recognizing him from Fringe (which he was actually in town to promote at Comic-Con). It’s all awesome, but my two favorite parts: When he tells the guys “excellent Pacey costumes” and when he reveals the real reason he returned to TV — to support his true passion, Pacey Fan Fiction.
In all seriousness, Dawson’s Creek‘s Pacey Witter is a character worth discussing somewhere on a panel about sidekicks who stole their shows from actors whose character names were in the title and/or who were hired to be the heartthrob and weren’t. Who else should be on that panel? READ FULL STORY »

Signs of the Apocalypse: 'Jersey Shore' cast rings the Opening Bell at NYSE
Image Credit: Jason Kempin/Getty ImagesAs fun as it was seeing JWoww squeezed into her job-interview pantsuit, it can’t mean good things for our ailing economy when the cast of Jersey Shore opened trading at the New York Stock Exchange by ringing the ceremonial Opening Bell. (Can’t we add some kind of “Snooki” clause to that financial reform bill to prevent this type of thing from happening?) On the other hand, when a pack of drunken nitwits — who are so lacking in talent, even their own parents are left wondering why they’re famous — manage to collectively negotiate a fat new contract for a third season of their hit reality show, perhaps that’s capitalism at its finest.
But it’s also a sign of the apocalypse.

Angelina Jolie joins Twitter: What would you tweet to her?
It’s no secret that many celebrities are on Twitter (they’re just like us!) — often mainly just to build their public persona — but there’s something special about the more private ones or non-believers jumping on board.
Last October it was Tracy Morgan, who joined after fans started a campaign to get the 30 Rock star on the microblogging site. Then, in February, Conan O’Brien joined shortly after the late night fall-out. But stop the presses! Angelina Jolie — the elusive, mysterious, polarizing actress — has recently joined Twitter. I’ve got to know, @angelinajolie: How can I wake up looking like this?
But for now, I’ll have to find another source for tips on a voluminous ‘do and slightly smoky eyes, because, at this point, the Salt star doesn’t have any tweets or followers — and her account is locked. Us Weekly says Jolie will start spitting out 140-word messages later this year, but given the actress’ penchant for privacy and good deeds, my guess is the tweets will be charity-focused. (Jolie’s rep has yet to return EW’s calls for comment.)
But in a dream world, where Jolie would dish on Jennifer Aniston and other juicy items on her page, what message would you tweet to Jolie?

Jon Stewart steals Brad Pitt's beard. Who wore it better?
Any man who tried to grow facial hair in college will tell you: It’s tough to pull off a Van Dyke. It’s half-mustache and half-goatee, which are both things that get little respect in this awful clean-shaven era. So let’s give this to Jon Stewart, who debuted some silver-dappled facial hair on last night’s Daily Show: he looks pretty darn okay. His beard bears a slight resemblance to Brad Pitt’s gone-but-not-forgotten growth, but Stewart’s facial hair actually looks like something a normal person would grow.
Stewart made all the requisite jokes. (See video embedded after the jump.) They’re making a sequel to The Faculty! He’s actually a Japanese snow monkey! He dipped his chin in marshmallow fluff! (Notably, he did NOT make the seemingly obvious remark about being Jon Stewart’s evil Mirror Universe duplicate. Instead, he claimed to be Jon Stewart’s evil cousin, Wario. Sorry, Mirror Universe Spock, your meme is dead.)
What do you think, PopWatchers? Like it or loathe it? And is there anyone on TV who you think would look better with a beard? Should Anderson Cooper get a chin beard? How about Bill O’Reilly with a Fu Manchu? READ FULL STORY »

'Golden Girls' en español in the works, Brett Ratner acquires 'The Unknowns'
- The Golden Girls will be adapted for Spanish audiences, starring Carmen Maura, Concho Velasco, Lola Herrera, and Alicia Hermida. Counting down the hours until “Carmen Maura to host Sábado Noche en Directo (please?)” launches on Facebook. [Variety]
- Brett Ratner’s Rat Entertainment has acquired The Unknowns, which follows a heroine whose memory of being the leader of a strange, mysterious group was erased. [Variety]
- Epix has nabbed the rights to Louis C.K.’s stand-up concert film, Louis C.K.: Hilarious. More like Louis C.K.: Busy — this year, the comedian has also boasted a new sitcom, Louie, and a stint on Parks and Recreation. [Variety]
- CBS Films has optioned Jane Moore’s 2003 novel, The Ex Files, which centers on a couple who invites their ex-girlfriends and ex-boyfriends to their wedding. To avoid confusion with former Fox series The X-Files, the title will be altered to The Exes, which is a shame because the Peacock Family would have been the perfect guests for table 9. [Deadline]

Lunchtime Poll: 'MasterChef' vs. Master Chief
Gordon Ramsay is a soccer player-turned-celebrity chef who has made a second career playing an Evil British Boogeyman on Top Chef For Dummies Hell’s Kitchen. Master Chief is a mysterious, monosyllabic space-soldier whose hobbies include saving the human race and polishing his helmet. What do these two men have in common? Simple: I misread a press release, so I’ve been under the mistaken impression that Gordon Ramsay is starring in a new show called Master Chief.
I assumed that Master Chief was a reality show in which Gordon Ramsay sat on his couch and played Halo on XBox live, challenging fifth graders from exotic places like Kentucky and Kiev to all-night FPS deathmatches. I looked forward to seeing Ramsay scream obscenities through his XBox headset (“You f—ing rocket launcher w—mongering DONKEY!”) Alas, the show is actually called MasterChef. It’s basically American Idol with food instead of singing, and it’s actually an okay show (according to EW’s Keith Staskiewicz).

'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' recap: The best mom in the world
Image Credit: Mitchell Haaseth/BravoLast night was a celebration of milestones, achievements, good parenting (or just genetic luck), and the American legal system. Teresa and Joe were approaching 10 years of marriage (though to Teresa it only feels like 5), Albie enrolled in the police academy, and Danielle’s daughter turned 16. Of course, her daughter’s birthday wasn’t enough of an occasion for Danielle, so she had to turn what was supposed to be a relatively low-key party into one big tear-inducing, pressure-filled audition for her youngest daughter.
