'Between Two Ferns': Will Ferrell would like Zach Galifianakis to get the fat out of his ears
Normally, when a celebrity joins Zach Galifianakis on “Between Two Ferns,” the passive-aggressive host sprinkles enough seeds of discomfort and resentment that ultimately, a confrontation blooms. But Will Ferrell is different. The comic movie-star, dressed like your Minnesota uncle during his one trip to Malibu, had Galifianakis eating out of his hand — and his mouth, for that matter. In the end, it was Ferrell who’d had enough of the conversation. Take a look after the jump.

Lisa Kudrow will host the 15th Annual Webby Awards on June 13 in New York. As emcee, the former Friend — and star of the award-winning web-series “Web Therapy” — is responsible for enforcing the Webby’s famous five-word acceptance-speech limit. “Lisa Kudrow has really embraced online entertainment, using her iconic style and sense of humor to create ‘Web Therapy,’ one of the funniest web series today,” said David-Michel Davies, executive director of the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS), in a statement. “She is the natural choice to host this year’s Webby Awards, having been recognized by the Academy for her outstanding role as internet-based therapist Fiona Wallice, creating a whole new character to love for years to come.” READ FULL STORY »

This Week's Cover: Jason Bateman is the Official Boy of Summer 2011
It’s a big, big summer for Jason Bateman. The 42-year-old actor, who’s been working in Hollywood since 1981, has two major comedies in theaters: First up is Horrible Bosses (July 8), in which he and co-stars Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day star as three friends who conspire to murder their employers (Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, and Jennifer Aniston). A month later he’ll join the Green Lantern himself, Ryan Reynolds, in The Change-Up (Aug. 5) about two friends — one settled and married, the other caddishly single — who switch bodies. After thirty years in the business, Bateman has learned not to take anything for granted. “I’ve been doing it long enough to manage my expectations a bit and not buy the confidence that I really need to be renting,” he laughs. “It would be great if these films perform well, but you try not to hang it all on the success or failure of your projects. Having said that, my fingers are definitely crossed. I’m certainly enjoying this moment of relevance that I’m having and would like to keep going.”
Though he’s always had plenty of fans, thanks in part to starring in the cult TV favorite Arrested Development (which he calls “a career saver” and the job he’s most proud of) Bateman has managed to balance fame and a private life — and stays out of the tabloids. “I’m just not that exciting to follow,” he explains. “I’m happily married, I’ve got a cute little girl, and all my drugging and drinking was done back before there were camera phones.”
Check out our bonus cover images of Jason Bateman after the jump, then head over to our Facebook page and “like” us to see exclusive video of the funnyman talking about his busy summer. For even more with Bateman — as well as a complete guide to the summer’s best movies, TV shows, music, books and more — pick up the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, on stands Friday, May 27.

'American Idol' on the scene for finale results show: Prom dresses, Tom Jones lyrics, and exhaustion, oh my!

Where is probably the one and only place in the world where you can find Midwestern ladies in prom/bridesmaid dresses, people speaking a wide variety of languages, poster board signs covered in blinking lights, dozens of cowboy hats, and a mish-mash of the oddball celebrities? The American Idol season finale, of course! I was there last night as the show went down at downtown LA’s Nokia Theater, and the only way to really describe what was going on is to call it exactly what it was: a crazy spectacle. I’m not exaggerating: Moms were really prowling around in prom/bridesmaid dresses! (True: Things such as this make me really happy.) I love that, for some, the American Idol finale is something on par with a seminal life event like a wedding. To each his own, I suppose! But I digress. On to my other observations… READ FULL STORY »

Aloha from ”We will never stop mocking the title…Cougar Town!” Here’s the good news: ABC treated us with a special, hour-long episode of CT set in Hawaii! The bad news: It was the season finale. Our favorite cul-de-sac crew will not return until November. (I’ll pause for you to pound some grape in an effort to deal with the news….) In the meantime, we’ve got a lot to cover. Let’s dive right in. READ FULL STORY »

Fox Business host accuses Obama of 'chugging a few 40s' during Joplin tornado
Because no terrible national tragedy is complete without an utterly off-topic controversy — sort of like how no poisoned ice cream sundae is complete without an exploding cherry on top — Fox Business’ Eric Bolling decided to take President Obama to task for not responding decisively to the Joplin Tornado tragedy. Bolling was soliloquizing about how unemployment is off the charts and gasoline is stuck near an all-time high, while meanwhile Obama is “on the golf course, or entertaining rappers in the East Room of our White House.” (Which, in fairness, were actually two of Teddy Roosevelt’s favorite hobbies.) But then Bolling dropped the nuke, asking how President Obama could possibly think that “chugging a few forties…is more important than a Presidential visit to [Joplin],” a reference to Obama’s visit to an Irish pub. Any good point Bolling might have had was instantly lost in the fact that “chugging a few forties” is almost nonsensically offensive — let’s see him accuse a white dude of “chugging a few 40s.” READ FULL STORY »

Which 'Idol' contestants should have made it to the finals?
Image Credit: Michael Becker/FOX
Yes, 122 million votes were cast, Lauren Alaina is an adorable producer-pimped finalist, and Scotty McCreery is a surefire country star in the making. Blah blah blah, yada yada yada, yakety yak (don’t talk back). But we American Idol fans are a bitter bunch. Why focus on the now when we can look back and whine about which Idol contestant should have made it into the finals?
Let’s face it: Last night’s teenage country show-down had its fair share of hits (Scotty’s reprisal of Montgomery Gentry’s “Gone,” for one), but the show could easily go down as The. Least. Interesting. Performance. Finale. Ever. Were was the drama? The break-out performances? The completely unnecessary and painfully embarrassing boxing uniforms handed to the Davids in season 7? Personally, though he never quite lived up to his potential, I would have loved to have seen what jazz hijinks Casey Abrams would have pulled on the finale stage. And if we had to root for a woman to win this season — an outcome Idol‘s producers certainly seem to be pulling for — don’t we wish we could have been given the opportunity to vote for the Growler, Haley Reinhart? Or even Pia-bot 2.0? READ FULL STORY »
