Kobe Bryant, Jimmy Kimmel star in 'Call of Duty: Black Ops' trailer
A new advertisement for Call of Duty: Black Ops that debuts on TV this weekend just hit the Internet, and it’s a delicious (and deliciously un-PC) treat. Everydaypeople — a hotel concierge, a chef, a woman dressed in smart business attire — maraud through a battle zone, firing guns and tossing grenades at each other and at circling helicopters. Also in the mix: Kobe Bryant (who wields an assault rifle emblazoned with his nickname, “Mamba”) and Jimmy Kimmel (who helplessly fires a bazooka with an apt description inscribed on the side: “PROUD N00b.”) Nobody actually gets shot, and the tagline is “There’s a Soldier in All of Us,” which I’m pretty sure was also on a Soviet propaganda poster. But it’s all set to the Rolling Stones’ “Gimme Shelter,” and if that doesn’t get you in the mood to fire some fake Cold War-era weaponry, I don’t know what will! READ FULL STORY »

Tom Cruise in talks to bring Maverick back for 'big role' in 'Top Gun 2', says director Tony Scott
Image Credit: Steve Granitz/WireImage.com; Everett CollectionTom Cruise may be feeling the need for speed again sometime soon. High-flying rumors have been circulating about the much-anticipated Top Gun sequel and whether or not Cruise would be returning his iconic star-cementing role as the fighter-pilot Maverick. Now director Tony Scott has told EW that the star is indeed in talks to come back for Top Gun 2, and, if he does, he would be playing a “big role” in the story. “We have been talking with Tom, definitely,” says Scott. This comes after screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie sent an email to Vulture stating, “There is no Top Gun 2 in which Maverick is not the starring role.”
But while Cruise may possibly return to the role he played 24 years ago, the world will have changed since his days flying Tomcats with Iceman and the late, great Goose. “It’s not a remake and it’s not a reinvention,” Scott says about the project. “It’s about the end of an era, the end of the era of the fighter pilot … There are these kids who sit in trailers in Nevada playing war games on computers, and they’re the ones that control these drones 10,000 miles away. That’s the world we’ll be focusing on.”
What do you think about this news, PopWatchers? Happy to hear Cruise might be our wing-man once more?

'How I Met Your Mother': Jorge Garcia celebrates Blitzgiving
Image Credit: Eric McCandless/CBSIf these pics (one more below) of How I Met Your Mother‘s Thanksgiving episode with guest star Jorge Garcia don’t warm your heart, there is no hope for your soul — kidding. (Or am I…?)
In all seriousness, I have not wanted to crash a dinner party this bad since the Friends gang had Brad Pitt at their table. Although, I have to admit that Monica’s turkey was a little less, um, Cajun than whatever’s sitting at the center of the HIMYM gang’s spread. My best guess would be that the cause has something to do with the second photo. READ FULL STORY »

Greyson Chance? There's an app for that. (Er, him.)
Image Credit: Bob Charlotte/PR PhotosDo you like Greyson Chance? Well, now there’s an app for that, too. The YouTube sensation and star of Ellen DeGeneres’ eleveneleven record label just released his own iPhone/iPad app on the heels of releasing his debut single. The free app, available on iTunes, offers fans the latest in Greyson news, tweets, videos, and music. So now, the 13-year-old mini-Bieber (who knew that was possible?) is literally at the disposal of your fingertips. Cool? Yes. And for the very affordable price of free, I imagine many tween girls just got an early Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa present.
Are you fans of Greyson Chance, PopWatchers? Will you be downloading his new, free app? And more importantly, would you, like me, be willing to admit that you wish you had your own app? It seems like all the cool kids have them these days. I’m starting to get jealous!

Brad Pitt no longer starring in 'Lost City of Z.' Who should take his place?
Image Credit: Jon Furniss/WireImage.comBrad Pitt’s poor chin. The actor, who was reportedly growing this oft-ridiculed beard for his role as Col. Percy Fawcett in the adaptation of David Grann’s The Lost City of Z, has bowed out of starring in the picture, his rep confirms with EW. Pitt, who will continue to produce the picture with his production company, Plan B, was attached to topline the film, but had to drop out in order to film the zombie flick World War Z. (Despite reports, Pitt’s involvement in Cogan’s Trade has no bearing on the actor’s inability to star in Lost City of Z.) “Brad would have liked to do Lost City of Z,” his rep told EW. “Brad is passionate about [director] James Gray and producing this project and is committed to seeing Lost City of Z made this year.”
Well, shoot. This news — brought to you, apparently, by the letter Z — is disappointing, considering how 1) Pitt, a fine actor with experience in the outdoors, radiates the kind of stealth needed to play the explorer, who disappeared after trudging into the Amazon in hopes of locating a mysterious, hidden golden city, and 2) I can’t imagine that facial hair working for any other actor. (In fact, did Fawcett check the mysterious beard itself to see if that’s where Z has been hiding?) Since Pitt is out, however, let’s start brainstorming other possibilities. Christian Bale is always a good back-up, since the guy could convincingly play a carrot (not before the method actor plants himself in the dirt to get pecked by rabbits for several weeks, though), but reading Grann’s fascinating page-turner, I always pictured a more robust actor like Jeff Bridges, whose excitement is so contagious, you’d expect many less experienced poor souls to follow him into the Amazon. Or should it be a post-vacation Jon Stewart? Billy Gibbons? Who do you think should take over Pitt’s role as Col. Fawcett, PopWatchers?

'Community' webisodes featuring Dean Pelton are streets ahead
Online-only material is always hit-and-miss, but the new “Office Hours” webisodes featuring Dean Pelton from Community are full of slightly inappropriate awesomeness.
Among other things, these three little gems introduce us to the term “hair-abled,” reveal who’s behind the Greendale Human Being mask, and, well, make you chuckle.
I’m being pamphlet-serious here, people. Watch them, and then tell me what you think. And on a related note, who would win in a cage match: “Office Hours” or “The 3rd Floor“? Discuss. READ FULL STORY »

Kevin James talks to the animals in 'Zookeeper' teaser
In a matter of months, we’ll learn which of this year’s pedigreed prestige films won Oscars, and it will be time to turn our gaze toward silly summer season. But why wait? We just got a peek at July’s Kevin James comedy Zookeeper and now you can too. For starters, the family film looks to crib pretty heavily from Eddie Murphy’s Doctor Dolittle and Ben Stiller’s A Night at the Museum, with the King of Queens himself as a lug who stumbles upon a menagerie of talking animals after-hours at the Franklin Park Zoo. Presumably, mayhem ensues (as well as an array of poop jokes). Ahh, but what about the plot, you ask? Well, it turns out that James’ lonelyheart Griffin Keyes is about to quit his job at the zoo to find a more glamorous gig to help attract the ladies. The animals don’t want to see him leave so they agree to break their age-old code and reveal to the guy that they can actually talk. And not only talk, but teach him what they know about how to woo the fairer sex. Listen close and you may hear the all-star voices of Cher, Nick Nolte, Sylvester Stallone, and James’ bestie Adam Sandler. READ FULL STORY »

'Auction Hunters': Finally, a show about storage units
Image Credit: SPIKEWe knew it was coming! The Hidden Gem hunter in me is digging the trailer for SPIKE’s Auction Hunters (premiering Tuesday, Nov. 9 at 10 p.m. ET). It’s just two dudes — Allen and Ton (guess which one is Ton) — rummaging through people’s storage units, mining for gems. “There could be buried treasure in any one of these,” promises Ton. My favorite is the green, glowing, radioactive … jar? But I’m a lady. For the more SPIKE-y demographic, there are a lot of guns! And money! Remember when Paris Hilton’s storage unit got auctioned off and they found Valtrex? This is like that, but without the herpes. OR SO WE THINK. (Trailer will auto-play after the break….)
