Stephen Colbert jokingly stormed off The View today in mock tribute to Bill “Papa Bear” O’Reilly. Why was everyone, especially Barbara, so flustered? The View ladies were as humorless as a 15-term congressman. Has no one ever seen The Colbert Report? Just play along, women of The View and Maria Shriver! Just play along. READ FULL STORY »

Argento horror movie Adrien Brody doesn't want you to see hits DVD
Well, it appears Adrien Brody’s lawsuit to stop the producers of the Dario Argento film Giallo from releasing it on DVD has yet to work its magic. A quick check shows Giallo is available for purchase online today as scheduled. A rep for Brody had no comment when contacted by EW for an update. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Brody isn’t upset over the quality of the film but the fact that he hasn’t gotten paid for it. The suit says Brody threatened to walk off the set a week after production began when he realized the movie was underfunded and producers had yet to pay his $640,000 salary. Brody claims producers told him they’d secured new funding and asked him to postpone his payday in exchange for having the “absolute right to withhold consent to the use of his likeness in the Picture.” He tried to exercise that right and was apparently shot down. Now Brody is asking for his salary (plus $2 million for breach of contract, fraud, etc.) and for the film to be permanently shelved, the trade reports.
Below, watch the trailer. Brody appears to play an FBI agent on the hunt for a serial killer who poses as a cab driver and targets beautiful women that he mutilates and kills. The only thing that truly intrigues me is whether Brody’s hair will get messed up during the course of the film. (Don’t you want to mess it up?) READ FULL STORY »

Jimmy McMillan brings the funk to the Rent is Too Damn High Party
Jimmy McMillan is not going to be the next governor of New York, but the candidate from the Rent is Too Damn High Party — and karate expert — nevertheless stole the show at last night’s gubernatorial debate. (See video embedded after the jump.) Mr. T’s grandfather makes a good point (rent is too damn high in this state), but I’m not sure his narrow platform will carry the day. If only he had a song or something. Wait. What? He does? Oh. For more information about his campaign, combined with the soulful “Rent is Too Damn High” remix, check out his website. I smell a cabinet post: Secretary of State the Truth! READ FULL STORY »

Bristol Palin's 'DWTS' monkey suit: Walk, walk fashion baby
Image Credit: ABCBristol Palin is fast becoming Dancing with the Star’s most surreal performance artist. Last night she stumbled around in a yeti-shaped monkey costume before tearing it off so she could stumble around in a pink cocktail dress. Dance pro Mark Ballas toted her around as gamely as he could, but she still looked like she’d been drugged, outfitted and dragged onstage. This comes on the heels of the pantsless suit and the bedazzled Sarah. What can it all mean? Are the show’s costumers trying to gently push her off the edge? (Read more about the episode in Annie Barrett’s recap; Yes, one write-up is not enough to outline the ridiculousness of the evening.)
The ultimate question: Is Bristol the Lady Gaga of teen activists? READ FULL STORY »

'Harry Potter': New TV spots are dark (unless pale Radcliffe is in a bra)
New TV spots for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I continue to make some fans want to pee themselves out of fear and/or anticipation. A few things are becoming clear (besides how good the special effects are looking): For starters, the filmmakers will rely on the multiple-Harrys Polyjuice Potion scene to lighten the mood. “Look away. I’m hideous,” says Hermione-Harry when her body takes the shape of his (pictured). They want you to know that romance is still a part of the story, even if it won’t be as prominent as it was in The Half-Blood Prince (Harry and Ginny’s kiss is interrupted by a Weasley twin, Ron doesn’t want Harry to tell Hermione that he said they wouldn’t make it two days without her). Lastly, Ralph Fiennes will be giving some children nightmares. Watch the eight spots below. READ FULL STORY »

Judy Blume will adapt 'Tiger Eyes' for the big screen. Where's the 'Blubber'?
Image Credit: Bobby Bank/WireImage.comIn news sure to set the hearts of 30-somethings soaring, the magnificent Judy Blume announced that she was adapting one of her lesser classics, Tiger Eyes, for the big screen and that her son, Lawrence Blume, would direct the film. How I remember reading this book, about a grieving girl named Davey transplanted to New Mexico after her Daddy was killed in convenience store robbery. Oh to be a girl with interesting marble-flecked eyes rather than my run of the mill brown! No boys named Wolf hung around anywhere in my stupid neighborhood.
So it’s with some trepidation that I anticipate watching Davey Wexler transition to the big screen. Judy Blume created some of my childhood best friends: Blubber‘s Jill and her stamp-collecting buddy Tracy Wu. My beloved Margaret Simon—so anxious about basement parties and training bras and her elusive period—and her reliable grandmother. The scoliosis-racked Deenie. Even dithering Katherine in Forever. Can I handle seeing these friends again on screen? Will Hollywood scrub them up too much, throw them in midriff shirts and flatiron them to death. This is why it’s such good news that Blume herself is handling the adaptation of Tiger Eyes. Protect your girls, Judy! Allow them their awkwardness and imperfections and corduroy pants.

'Mad Men' floor plan: Another great moment in fandom
Here you go, Mad Men obsessives: The floor plan for the Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce offices. (Click to embiggen.) That “whiskey storage” room is also where they store destroyed dreams and mommy issues, I believe.
I hadn’t realized that Don’s secretary has the best seat in the house and is sort of the command center: She’s able to deflect Roger, observe the action in the conference room, and see who’s marching down the Sally Draper Memorial Wipeout Hallway. Miss you, Ida Blankenship! Miss you.
You can see the whole shebang here.
Pretty great, right, PopWatchers?

Kristen Stewart talks 'Breaking Dawn' script: 'It's done, it's locked'
In an oddly animated interview with MTV News, Kristen Stewart talked about the final installment of the Twilight series with something approaching enthusiasm. Having just returned from Breaking Dawn read-throughs in Baton Rouge with Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, Stewart reported that “it’s done, it’s locked… basically we know exactly how the book is going to find itself, and now we know all the lines and know what scenes have been pulled.” No word yet on whether the birthing scene of baby vampire chewing her cutesie-schmoopsie way out of Bella’s womb has been tweaked or cut. See the interview clip after the jump. READ FULL STORY »

'Hawaii Five-0' Bingo: Week 1
Image Credit: Neil Jacobs/CBSSteve McGarrett started off last night’s episode of Hawaii Five-0 sleeping next to the most perfect woman ever. She’s a Navy lieutenant who catches bad guys, is a great cook, likes her steak bloody, doesn’t seem to mind if you disappear for 36 hours at a time, and is played by Michelle Borth, last seen in flagrante on Tell Me You Love Me. Steve and his dream girl were all set to skip breakfast. They rubbed noses. They kissed. “I think I’m vibrating,” says Ms. Perfect. CBS, I know it’s 10 p.m., but behave yourself! Oh, wait, no, hahaha, it was just the iPhone. The Caller ID proclaimed: “Governor Jameson.” Thanks, Uncle iPhone!
Shenanigans ensued. The first bad guys of the evening were girl-enslaving gangsters, but then the real bad guys were Filipino terrorists. Meanwhile, the Steve/Danno flirtation reached a new high level of low geekery: Steve asked Danno if he ever made it to the Double-Pretzel level of Ms. Pac-Man. Danno: “Triple-Banana, bitch.” God, these guys are awesome. In the end, the evil Coach Tanaka was captured, the diplomat’s daughter was saved, and Steve treated his ladyfriend to a roast dinner on the beach. Except, uh-oh, they got too distracted by each other’s ridonk hotness to finish dinner! So, to recap the narrative arc of the latest episode of Hawaii Five-0:
1. Steve McGarrett had hot glamorous sex with the perfect woman.
2. Steve McGarrett solved a mystery and defeated terrorism in the Philippines forever.
3. Steve McGarrett had hot glamorous sex with the perfect woman on a beach.
