My girl crush on Rachel McAdams feels fully validated after seeing the video below of her at last night’s Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals. She and her family hit Boston’s TD Garden to watch the Bruins defeat the Vancouver Canucks and even the series at 2-2. McAdams herself was so enthusiastic, they showed her on the JumboTron more than six times and renamed it the Rachel McAdams Cam. Her reaction to that is too cute for words. Watch it for yourself.

'South Park' mid-season finale: Is this the beginning of the end?

Did Trey Parker and Matt Stone just put making South Park on their Murtaugh List? If last night’s mid-season finale of the animated series was any indication of things to come, then it could very well be that Parker and Stone are getting too old for this, well, you know.
The episode titled, perhaps rather fittingly, “You’re Getting Old,” was all about the fallout from Stan’s 10th birthday party. When he begins to bug his friends off with his intolerable, and apparently incurable cynicism, everything — from music to his doctor’s advice — literally turns to s—.
And while they had fun poking at Stan’s cynicism about pop culture (How is playing L.A Noire supposed to be fun? Doesn’t Zookeeper look like a microwaved turd?), it turned, as it so often does on South Park, into something else entirely. READ FULL STORY »

Stagehands to picket Tony Awards on Sunday
Members of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees plan to protest this Sunday’s Tony Awards (airing live on CBS at 8 p.m. EST), according to the Associated Press. Celebs attending the show will have to walk past a giant inflatable rat set up by the union, which was angered after losing its traditional deal to set up the event’s red carpet and tents. Members of the Freedom Party have also reportedly declared a plan to protest the show for honoring The Scottsboro Boys, a musical that presents itself as an ironic minstrel show.

Jon Stewart's hook keeps fans in stitches
One night after gashing his right hand on a martini-glass while skewering Anthony Weiner’s weiner mea culpa, Jon Stewart used the accident as the primary hook in his opening monologue. (Eh? Ehh?) After thanking the doctor at Mount Sinai Hospital who stitched him up — and presumably gave him that adorable monkey bandage — Stewart recognized an unknown hero. “I really want to thank the kid who was obviously waiting for facial reconstruction surgery, you know, to let me jump the line,” he joked. “Because obviously, I had a reservation at Nobu at 8:30.”

Happy 50th birthday, Michael J. Fox!
Yes, just typing that headline made me want to build a time machine out of a DeLorean and shave a decade or so off my own age. But I also feel hopeful, because Michael J. Fox is as completely awesome and lovable today as when we first fell for him as Family Ties‘ Alex P. Keaton — just check out his fantastic turns on The Good Wife, or Rescue Me, or later this summer on Curb Your Enthusiasm. Though it’s an extremely tough choice, my favorite Michael J. Fox role has always been Ben Stone in the not-on-cable-enough 1991 comedy Doc Hollywood. That said, Alex P. Keaton will always remain the only Republican I could ever love. Check out some classic MJF moments after the jump. READ FULL STORY »

Jon Cryer talks Charlie Sheen on 'Letterman': 'None of us wanted to continue with the show if we felt like it was hurting him'
Jon Cryer opened up to David Letterman last night about the behind-the-scenes drama surrounding Charlie Sheen’s exit from Two and a Half Men and new co-star Ashton Kutcher. Simultaneously, he reminded us that despite everything that’s happened in the past year, he’s still a classy guy.
Cryer, who has remained pretty mum about the situation (sans his hilarious rebuttal to being called “a troll” by Sheen), was candid about the time when he believed he was out of a job because of Sheen. “None of us wanted to continue with the show if we felt like it was hurting him. And there was a point at which everybody felt like, ‘There is no control here.’”
But not soon after, he said, CBS had quickly assembled a plan B: Bring on Ashton Kutcher. He joked, however, he remains wary of his new co-star. On the way to the network’s Upfronts presentation, held last month in New York, “Ashton came on the plane and said, ‘You know what I love about private jets? You can bring knives on board.’”

Google strums a tribute to Les Paul
Image Credit: AP Images
Google’s got a guitar and they’ve learned how to make it talk. In order to celebrate what would’ve been the 96th birthday of rock ‘n’ roll innovator Les Paul, the Google logo has been replaced today by a doodle made up of guitar strings that can be strummed with your mouse. “The electric guitar brings back memories for me of exchanging riffs with friends and wearing out cassette tapes as I meticulously learned songs,” wrote Google designer Alexander Chen, in a blog post. “Today, we’re attempting to recreate that experience with a doodle celebrating the birthday of musician and inventor Les Paul.”
Not only can users play music, but if they press the black button, they can record up to 30 seconds of their homemade ditty. Press it again, and they can share their tune with their friends. (Warning: It’s addictive.)
Give it a shot, and then post your best tune’s link below in the comments.

E3 2011: 'Batman: Arkham City,' 'Bioshock Infinite,' and other adventures from Day 2

The Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3, is a convention you have to attend in order to learn how to attend it. Like a day spent at Disneyland, there’s simply too much to see and play at the gaming showcase, and any attempt to stuff one’s schedule to the brim would be ill-advised from a physical, mental, and sanitary standpoint.
Instead, E3 beckons you to roam its vast halls and appreciate its full-throttle extravagance. Where else are you going to witness Hulk Hogan signing autographs, Verne Troyer zooming by on a scooter, an orchestra playing music from Lord of the Rings, the most friendly looking dragon ever, and whatever the heck these guys are? Perhaps Comic-Con, which outshines E3 in terms of star power and do-it-yourself costuming. But E3 reigns when it comes to geektacular eye candy and eardrum-awakening loudness. (My colleague Adam Vary’s 10-step process for recreating E3 at home gets it just right.) Plus, as far as I’m aware, Comic-Con hasn’t been endorsed by Jesus, so there’s that. READ FULL STORY »

This Week's Cover: J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg talk 'Super 8'
What happens when two of Hollywood’s most creative minds team up to make a movie? The answer is Super 8, written and directed by J.J. Abrams (Star Trek, Lost) and produced by Steven Spielberg (credits unnecessary, don’t you think?) opening in theaters on June 10. In the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, the two filmmakers come together at Abrams’ office in Santa Monica for a wide-ranging discussion about their recent collaboration and their surprisingly long history of working with each other. The relationship began nearly 30 years ago when Abrams — then a teenage wannabe filmmaker growing up geeky in Los Angeles, along with his best friend Matt Reeves (who co-created Felicity with Abrams and directed Cloverfield) — were hired to repair the 8mm Spielberg shot during his youth. “I remember working on this one film and getting to the credits where it said: ‘Written and directed by Steve Spielberg.’ Not ‘Steven.’ Steve Spielberg!” recalls Abrams. “I told Matt: I am totally going to cut one of these ‘Steve Spielberg’ frames out of this film and keep it for myself, but Matt talked me out of it.”
“People only called me Steven after my first screen credit,” replies Spielberg. “I prefer Steve, but those days are long gone.” READ FULL STORY »

E3 2011: Role-playing game round-up!
Magic spells. Character development. Mayhap a duel with a malevolent knight, possibly a love triangle or two, customization up the yin-yang, and sometimes hair spiky enough to dent a car door. Role-playing video games have been my life-long genre of choice, so I spent a bit of my Wednesday sniffing out some choice RPGs at E3 in the Los Angeles Convention Center. Many RPGs lurk on the showroom floor: Ruin, for Sony’s upcoming portable, for example, or the much-anticipated Mass Effect 3, which will use RPG elements. But here are a few highlights that especially raised our Interest and Excitement stats six or seven points each: READ FULL STORY »
