With the release of Jane Eyre today and his upcoming star turn in X-Men: First Class, Michael Fassbender seems headed for the A-list. But like all once-struggling actors, he also has some skeletons in his closet. Namely, a shirtless TV spot he did for SAS Airlines, a Guinness beer ad, and best of all, an awesomely freaky music video he did years ago for the rock band The Cooper Temple Clause.

Celebrities Tweet support for Japan after earthquake
After the devastating 8.9-magnitude earthquake hit Japan in the early hours of the morning here in the United States, actor/director Jon Favreau was among the first celebrities to tweet a reaction. “Our prayers go out to the people of Japan,” he wrote. That was roughly nine hours ago, and since, many celebrities, some with ties to the country and Hawaii (where tsunami warnings were issued earlier this morning), have tweeted words of support.

Mac maniacs, rejoice: iPad 2 ships today
Sorry, everyone who received a shiny new iPad for Christmas or Kwanzaa three months ago — your once-awesome present has now been rendered obsolete. That’s because Apple begins shipping its second-generation iPad today. The revamped gadget, memorably introduced by Steve Jobs himself last week, is 33 percent thinner and up to 15 percent lighter than the original model, according to Apple. It’s also twice as fast. Additionally, iPad 2 features two HD cameras (one on the front, one on the back), Face Time video chatting, Garage Band and iMovie apps, and video mirroring — that is, if you buy a separately-sold cable and use it to plug your iPad into a projector or a TV, that bigger screen will show whatever’s being displayed on the iPad, be it movie, game, or email. Prices start at $499.
Are any of you planning to spring for an iPad 2? If so … wanna pick up an extra one for me? And how much do you figure your still-pristine iPad 1 is worth now on the open market?

Jimmy Kimmel’s vacation to the South Pacific took a frightening turn after a 8.9 magnitude earthquake that rocked Japan sent ripples throughout the Pacific. Tsunami warnings were in effect throughout the region, including Hawaii. The ABC funnyman tweeted constant updates from French Polynesia, where he said he was glued to the coverage on CNN. “Suddenly, relaxing on an island in the South Pacific isn’t so relaxing anymore. Good thing I brought my aqua stilts,” he posted early this morning. When asked how scared he was on a scale of 1-10, Kimmel tweeted, “a good solid 7. on a small island, with no high ground.”
Kimmel continued to post, as followers conveyed their concern: “thanks again for the concern — I am now worried others will worry if I don’t tweet — but if I don’t, don’t.”
UPDATE: At 9:40 a.m. E.T., Kimmel tweeted, “we are evacuating the island. dogspeed.”
UPDATE II: At 3:43 p.m. E.T., Kimmel announced that any immediate threat had passed, tweeting, “We are back, officially ‘unevacuated’. Thanks for your kind words. It was scary. Best wishes to our friends in Japan and all affected.”

With 10 minutes to go before last night’s American Idol results show went liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive (that’s for you, Barrett), Cory the Warm Up Comic debuted a new audience participation salsa jazzercise element to his warm up routine. With 5 minutes to go, one of my fellow Idol journo’s informed our back row press gaggle that Casey Abrams was back in the hospital again. The Idol gods giveth with one hand, and taketh with another, I suppose. READ FULL STORY »

'Kate Plus 8' returns April 4... but do you care anymore?
Image Credit: TLC
Like that pimple on your chin you so desperately tried to extinguish before meeting your boyfriend’s mother for the first time, Kate Gosselin is baaaaaack! TLC has confirmed with EW that the much-maligned reality star is set to return with new episodes of Kate Plus 8 on April 4 — but, honestly, are you really interested in watching anymore?
We first tuned into Jon & Kate Plus 8 for the adorable factor: Eight huggable wee ones making mischief — how could we resist? Then there was the scandal factor: The divorce! The Ed Hardy! Holy midlife crisis! Then we watched Gosselin shimmy her way into disaster status, courtesy of Dancing With the Stars. But now, after drinking Charlie Sheen’s tiger blood and watching Lindsay Lohan defend her alleged sticky fingers, Gosselin feels like a scandal-prone reality star from a distant — and, somehow, much more innocent — time. (Sheen sees your divorce, Kate, and raises you a machete.) In other words: Hey, Kate Gosselin: 2010 wants its trainwreck back!
So, yes, Kate Plus 8 is returning this April, when TLC will air footage of Gosselin and the children traveling through Australia. But is there any way we’d still laugh at shots of her swimming with sharks, unless we portal back in time a year and a half? In this day and age, is her trainwreck simply not gruesome enough? PopWatchers: Will you watch Kate Plus 8?

FunnyOrDie exec says Charlie Sheen video shoot was 'more like going to your neighbor's house than going to a circus'
Less than 24 hours. That’s how long it took the FunnyOrDie crew to shoot, complete, and post its “Charlie Sheen’s Winning Recipes” video from the moment its 10-man crew rolled up at Charlie Sheen’s house on Wednesday morning. The comedy website’s president of production, Mike Farah, tells EW that his team was eager to work with Sheen on something original. “He’d done his own web stuff, but he hadn’t done any sort of scripted comedy piece since this whole thing began,” says Farah. “We wanted to be the first ones out of the gate.” READ FULL STORY »

'The Comedy Central Roast of Donald Trump' on the scene: Read the best lines here!

The rules for any roast demand that the roasters should have genuine affection for the roastee. You never rib someone you don’t like. But at the taping of The Comedy Central Roast of Donald Trump last night in New York City (airing on Comedy Central on Tuesday March 15 at 10:30 pm EST) not all of the comedians on hand had love in their hearts for the Trumpster — including Lisa Lampanelli, who had established that roasting rule in the first place. “Well, I broke the rule because the money’s really good,” the Roast veteran jested to me on the red carpet. Whitney Cummings, who’s quickly becoming a Comedy Central MVP, added, “Donald takes himself very seriously. I think he’s a clinically diagnosed narcissistic egomaniac. I think we’re dealing with a real sociopath here.” First-time roaster Anthony Jeselnik predicted, “They say you only roast the ones you love, so this is going to be short.” Sure others played nice — namely Larry King, who gushed “The Donald…what a guy!” more than once during the show — but it was the nasties, led by Roastmaster Seth MacFarlane, who ruled the night…and proved that gotta-like-the-roastee rule irrelevant.
