Carmageddon is looming over Los Angeles, and you better believe James Franco is going to get a piece of that. Or at least the ubiquitous star’s upcoming film Rise of the Planet of the Apes is. As part of a “gorilla” marketing campaign, the popcorn flick has released a 10-second spot in which they’ve unleashed a gaggle of apes on a Los Angeles overpass. See the full video after the jump.

Gillian Jacobs and Alison Brie get kinky in 'GQ' photoshoot
It’s Annie’s boobs… and I’m not talking about the monkey.
Community cast members Alison Brie and Gillian Jacobs stripped down for a pectoral pictorial with GQ, and by the looks of it, we’ve all been deceived. There’s no way these girls love chicken fingers. But Jacobs sure likes spatulas. (That’s what that is, right, Mom?)
In all seriousness (well, as serious as you can get writing about this photo), could these funnywomen be any hotter? Give the rest of us some sort of chance here, ladies.
Now, let’s play a game because it’s Friday: Caption this… with a Community quote! I’ll go first:
“I hope you like getting balled.” — Dean Pelton, “For A Few Paintballs Or More”

'Harry Potter' ticket buyer's remorse: But then it will be over

Question: Has anyone else experienced Harry Potter ticket buyer’s remorse? Last night, when I ordered my Deathly Hallows — Part 2 tickets for tonight online, I wasn’t elated, like someone who’s been waiting for (and writing about) this movie for months should be. I was sad. Suddenly, the end of my Harry Potter movie experience had a time stamp. At 6:30 p.m. tonight, I stop living in a world where I have the Harry Potter finale to look forward to. By 9 p.m., I’ll know how I felt — and if I cried — watching Harry take that walk. I actually debated whether I should hold off on seeing the film a little longer. But even though I read the book (in one day, locked in my apartment, because I was spoilerphobic), I’m afraid of hearing details of the movie, so I’m going.
How did you feel after you bought your ticket? If you’ve already seen the movie, was a part of you sad when it was over? Or does the wonder not end when the credits roll?

Taylor Swift announces new fragrance, and surprisingly, we're not annoyed by that.
This morning, the name and bottle for Taylor Swift’s first “signature scent” hitting stores in October were revealed. The name Wonderstruck comes from a lyric in one of her songs. “I wrote the lyric, ‘I’m wonderstruck, blushing all the way home,’ for the song ‘Enchanted’ about the first time you meet someone,” she says in a release. “A fragrance can help shape someone’s first impression and memory of you. It’s exciting to think that Wonderstruck will play a role in creating some of those memories.” That’s the best justification we’ve heard for a celebrity scent in a long while.
Per the announcement, the actual scent, which Swift developed with Olivier Gillotin of Givaudan, was inspired by her favorite memories and smells. “The flawless beauty of freesia, apple blossom and raspberry spark a swirl of vibrancy and feminine allure…. In the heart, a sweet surprise of blissful vanilla is embellished by airy, sun drenched honeysuckle and white hibiscus…. Notes of golden amber and sandalwood are woven with a kiss of lush peach.” READ FULL STORY »

'SYTYCD': Mary Murphy on last night's eliminations, and all those Emmys

Fans up in arms on couples leaving the show. Who were the stars tonight? Who slipped, in my eyes!?
As I promised, I want to address so many of you about the fact that contestants are leaving as couples. This has not happened in the history of SYTYCD. Trust me, there is no conspiracy. We do not have to do this because of the network or Nigel. We would love nothing better to see a mix-match of partnerships, since this is the part of the show where we usually see a partner shift.
We try to take everything into account when we are backstage on Results Night. As Judges, we want to make the very best decision not based on what the viewers favorites may be, but based on dancing. Which brings us to hard decisions, since we LOVE all of them. READ FULL STORY »

Shooting a sex scene with Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis -- a how-to guide from 'Friends with Benefits' director Will Gluck
Getting big stars to strip down to their skivvies and simulate lovemaking is a tough job, but someone has to do it. In the case of Friends with Benefits (hitting theaters July 22), that someone was Will Gluck — and in the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, guest columnist Gluck explains the art of the sex scene, from creating chemistry to letting pasties be your guide. Check out an excerpt of his column, after the jump. READ FULL STORY »

This Week on Stage: Hannibal Lecter sings!
Image Credit: Carol Rosegg
No, there isn’t a song that rhymes fava beans. Or Chianti. But an unauthorized musical parody of the 1991 thriller Silence of the Lambs did open Off Broadway this week following a successful Fringe Festival run (and multiple YouTube clicks for some of its numbers). And as I wrote in my grade-B review, Silence! The Musical “is a little longer than it needs to be and the percentage of jokes hitting their target would earn only passing marks on the Quantico firing range.” But Jenn Harris nails Jodie Foster’s speaking style as Clarice, and Brent Barrett is deliciously deadpan as Hannibal. Just be prepared for some seriously raunchy NSFW humor.
Silence! wasn’t the only show opening this week. (Who says the summer is a slow time for theater?) At the 19th-century Park Avenue Armory on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, the Royal Shakespeare Company has taken up residence for six weeks of performances of five different classics by the Bard. But the real star of this summer repertory program is the venue itself: a 220-ton replica of the original Globe Theatre, installed in the cavernous space of the Armory. The plays themselves have been pretty impressive too. I gave the first-rate As You Like It an A–, noting the “real spark” between Katy Stephens and Jonjo O’Neill as the romantic leads, Rosalind and Orlando. Director Rupert Goold, who brought his Stalinesque Macbeth to Broadway in 2008, brings similar anachronistic touches to Romeo and Juliet — the hero wears a hoodie, while the heroine dons Converse sneakers. For the most part, it all works. (I gave the show a B+.)
The recent hit revival Hair returns to Broadway for a two-month run before the cast resumes its national tour. Critic Melissa Rose Bernardo gave the ’60s-era musical love-in a B+, declaring the show “still as fresh a just-picked daisy.” Is there any better time to let the sun shine in?

'The Dark Knight Rises' trailer: Read a description (and some theories) here
The first teaser for next year’s The Dark Knight Rises is airing in front of a little movie called Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows–Part 2. For those of you who missed the Hallows midnight screening because you’re too tired/too busy/too no-longer-a-college-student, here’s the lowdown on the Rises preview. It kicks off with a montage of scenes from Batman Begins, with Bruce Wayne walking over the frozen tundra while Liam Neeson narrates his speech about becoming “A legend, Mr. Wayne.” “Every Hero Has a Journey,” say the intertitles. “Every Journey Has an End.”
Cut to: A shockingly intimate shot of Gary Oldman’s Commissioner Gordan, lying on a hospital bed, breathing through what appears to be an oxygen mask, speaking in a tremulous voice. READ FULL STORY »

'Big Brother': And the evicted houseguest is...

Last night’s episode of Big Brother featured a grandly pointless veto competition, since the team that was actually up on the block — Keith and Porsche — were both secretly working against each other. Their plan succeeded miserably, which means that one of them will go home tonight. Easy money says Porsche is going home, since the balance of voting power has tilted towards the Newbie Coalition in the wake of Dick’s disappearance. But Keith has so far shown an amazing ability to alienate his teammates. Can the Veteran Squad convince unallied contestants like Kalia or Shelly to vote their way? Will Keith get himself De-Regulated? Will Rachel laugh at something that isn’t funny? And what’s Olivia Wilde doing on Big Brother when she should be out promoting all her exciting new movies? We’ll find out tonight. My bet: Porsche will be sent to the garage… of shame. UPDATE: And the eliminated Big Brother contestant is (SPOILER ALERT!!!): READ FULL STORY »

And don’t you want Jesse Tyler Ferguson to be your new BFF? Share your thoughts while the live show airs, and we’ll reveal the results after they’re handed down. Update: The results are in.
