Elmo and Grover swung by GMA this morning to weigh in on the Katy-Perry-has-breasts controversy. “Elmo loves Miss Katy,” the beloved red monster said, and insisted that they’d have a “play date” again in the near future. Grover asked about his outfit being “too revealing,” but mostly, they just kinda made jokes. No wonder Liz Lemon and Carol love when Muppets present at awards shows. READ FULL STORY »

Stephen Colbert testifies for Congress
Image Credit: Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty ImagesStephen Colbert testified in front of a House subcommittee this morning about immigration policy. He was in character, so it was brilliantly sarcastic and funny, but also scary — is it that easy to turn Congress into a farce? Yes? Yes, it is? Oh.
“At the request of Congresswoman [Zoe] Lofgren, I am here today to share my experience as an entertainer-turned-migrant worker and to shed light on what it means to truly take one of the millions of jobs filled by immigrant labor,” he told the committee. Colbert spent 10 hours on a farm in Upstate New York as part of the United Farm Workers of America’s Take Our Jobs campaign, which highlights the need for domestic agriculture reform by encouraging out-of-work legal residents to apply for farming jobs typically held by undocumented immigrants. “I’ll admit, I started my day with pre-conceived notion of migrant labor,” he said. “I have to say and I do mean this sincerely – please don’t make me do this again. It is really really hard.” READ FULL STORY »

'Dragon Tattoo' director: Rooney Mara injury reports are 'total bulls--'
Image Credit: Angela Weiss/Getty ImagesFans of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo held their breath on Wednesday when it was reported that the upcoming Hollywood film adaptation — currently in production in Sweden — had to shut down after star Rooney Mara injured her shoulder. Sony quickly shot down the rumors, saying that the new Lisbeth Salander is fine.
Now director David Fincher is also speaking up to assure fans that all is well: “It’s total bulls—,” he told EW this morning in NYC, where he’s promoting the world premiere of his new film The Social Network at the New York Film Festival. “She’s alive and well,” he confirms. “We don’t even shoot with her until October.”
Fincher also said that leaked photos appearing to show Mara in full Salander garb aren’t the real deal, either. “There have been no photos of her in costume,” he says. “There have only been photos of her learning to ride a Harley 350.”
So breathe easy, Dragon lovers: Salander will ride another day.

Style Hunter: Lea Michele's 'Glee' premiere dress
There was so much to love about this week’s Glee premiere: new faces (Sunshine Corazon and Coach Beiste, for starters), that amazing “Telephone” sing-off and, as always, Sue. But when she wasn’t sending Sunshine to a crack house, Rachel was showing off some pretty darn cute outfits.
One of my favorites was the sweetly simple navy dress she wore for her rousing rendition of “What I Did For Love.” Glee costume designer Lou Eyrich gave us the scoop on the outfit, and lucky for you Glee fans, the dress, a collaboration between Flat Back by Pegleg NYC and Urban Outfitters, is still available — on sale! — at the store’s site ($40; urbanoutfitters.com).

Zach Galifianakis teases Snooki on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!'
Zach Galifianakis was on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night, and he was, perhaps predictably, extremely hilarious. He talked about his farm in North Carolina, pimped a few of his projects, and was generally just super silly and a little higher energy than usual. Also, Galifianakis alongside Snooki is so culturally dissonant that I think my brain is melting: READ FULL STORY »

'My Generation' premiere: Now that's what I call the first decade of the new millennium!
Image Credit: Vivian Zink/ABCI’m sure that, if you’re over 30 or under 22, My Generation looks like a shambling idiot parade of “Things That Jon Stewart Stopped Making Fun Of Five Years Ago.” But you guys just don’t get it. My Generation is about my generation. I’m in the same arbitrarily defined age demographic as the characters. I am them. They are me. I was a total nerd/punk/jock/rich kid/rock star/generic-John-Hughes-stereotype when I attended my suburban high school in Suburban America, USA. Like the faceless people-bots who star in My Generation, I had a total plan for my life… but history had different ideas, y’know? I started out in college studying pre-med/pre-law/pre-Computer/pre-Heartless Banker, but I changed my major because of Iraq/Katrina/Enron/Britney. I wanted to do something important, which is why I’m currently working on financial-reform legislation and raising my best friend’s illegitimate child. While teaching English. To starving children. In Afghanistan.
None of that is true, but I still kind of liked My Generation, even though it’s a total mess. READ FULL STORY »

Russell Brand on Katy Perry controversy: 'Today's Sesame Street will NOT be brought to you by the number 34 or the letter D'
Image Credit: Jody Cortes/ Retna Ltd; Sesame Street WorkshopScore one for comedian Russell Brand! Amid the continuing hubbub over his fiancé Katy Perry’s oh-so-scandalous, (sort of) boob-baring (and now relegated to YouTube) appearance on Sesame Street, the comedian tweeted a few hilarious missives to his soon-to-be wife. Starting with: “today’s Sesame Street will NOT be brought to you by the number 34 or the letter D.” Hehe. Wait just a minute now — did Brand just reveal that Perry wears a size 34D? Hmmm. He followed that up with this riff on the show’s theme song: “Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sex-with-me Street?” You gotta love that he’s having fun with this. And all right, I’ll admit, it’s kind of fifth-grade humor, but we’re talking about Sesame Street here, so that’s probably more than warranted.
The only thing I could think after reading those two jokes from Brand is…I want more! And that’s not something I say very often about comedians — especially of the Russell Brand variety. So Bravo. Funny stuff. Russell Brand might just have a new follower on his Twitter feed.

Kate Beckinsale returns for 'Underworld 4'
Kate Beckinsale will play vampire Selene once more in a fourth Underworld movie, it’s been announced. The film, still looking for a director and an actress to play Selene’s daughter, will begin shooting in March in Vancouver for a January 2012 release. Few details are known about the script from John Hlavin (The Shield), which is being revised by J. Michael Straczynsk (The Changeling), but I’m all for Beckinsale’s return to Selene’s latex catsuit, which she’s donned twice before (the third film in the franchise, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, was a prequel starring Rhona Mitra). It took her to the round of 16 in our summer Sexy Beast bracket game, and who knows what would have happened if she hadn’t met Twilight‘s Edward Cullen. The luck of the draw…
Do you agree that bringing sexy back is a good idea for Beckinsale? (Yes, her last film was with Robert De Niro, but EW gave that movie, Everybody’s Fine, a D. Every project is a roll of the dice.)

'The Real Housewives of D.C.' recap: Cat cries, Michaele threatens to get butt implants
The show is working a Jedi mind trick on me. Try as I might to hold onto my standards, I dare say I’m coming around to enjoying myself on Thursday nights again. I think it’s because Mary is such reliably fluffy company, and Cat wears ridiculous hats, and Lynda, that sexy leprechaun, pops up every now and again to throw down. It’s so oddly interesting to watch the main dramas play out—the growing tension between Cat and her bags-packed husband Charles, the Salahis’ ridiculous delusions of grandeur and entitlement—when we know the endings already.
When Michaele and Tareq met with their buddy Matt to talk about their tell-all book, the blonde incense stick gooshed about their incredible story. Describing their adventures: “We’re going to meet President Obama, we’re going here. I could never have imagined!” Bring it, scenes for next week. (Poor Matt had the neato idea of putting some of his own voice in the book, maybe even his name on the cover too? Michaele’s eyes narrowed. Tareq fingered the pearl handle of the knife strapped to his fat calf.) “We’ve come up with a name we know we unquestionably love,” sweated Tareq. “War, Wine and Roses.” (Matt started reconsidering wanting his name on the jacket.) Michaele, who made clear that she liked yapping but she didn’t want to ever be expected to actually put pen to paper, had just one demand. “No matter what I would just love to see it have a happy ending,” she said. And then President Obama told Michaele Salahi that she was pretty. Tareq shot his mother in the thigh. Everybody giggled! Michelle Obama clinked her glass of Oasis wine with a lollipop to make a toast.”Salahis, Yes We Can!”

'Mad Men' star Jon Hamm and Craig Ferguson: A poetic pair
Mad Men star Jon Hamm lived up to his last name by trading funny barbs and quips with Craig Ferguson on last night’s edition of Late Late Show. Ferguson set the jovial tone from the outset during his introduction of Hamm: “My first guest tonight has got two films in theaters right now — two! two films! That means he’s a movie star!” Ferguson said. “Then what the hell is he doing here? I don’t know!”
Hamm came out, and it was almost as if he and Ferguson were old pals. The two yammered on about poetry (besides The Town, Hamm was there to promote his flick Howl, which is based on the Allen Ginsberg poem); how Hamm must be rolling in the dough from being a movie star (“When you make movies about poetry,” Hamm panned, “generally they backup wheelbarrows full of money for you.”); and why Ferguson thinks Hamm should wear Liberace-style pants on Mad Men (to which the game Hamm responded: “Glitter me up!”). Watch it all here: READ FULL STORY »
