Are you ready for some football? After more than four months of labor strife threatened the upcoming football season, forcing panicked fans to contemplate actually spending time with their own families this fall, the NFL and its players hammered out a 10-year deal that guarantees the season will start on time. It’s great news, especially for your bookie’s kid’s college fund. (If gambling were legal, of course). To celebrate the billion-dollar news, ESPN drafted Judson Laipply, the YouTube sensation who starred in “The Evolution of Dance,” to high-step his way through the history of the touchdown dance, starting with the funky chicken of one Billy “White Shoes” Johnson.

Funny or Die clip: Steve Carell has a huge head -- it's in his contract
In “Steve Carell’s Movie Poster Contract,” a new short from FunnyOrDie.com, Steve Carell demonstrates once again that Steve Carell’s best punchline is Steve Carell. The clip portrays Carell as an ego-inflated version of himself, insisting during a Crazy, Stupid, Love promo meeting that his head must be the largest visible object on any movie poster he’s on. (Who can forget the iconic poster from Curly Sue?) Carell, as the ultimate sufferer of cranium envy, laughs maniacally when he finally gets his way, “Look how much bigger it is than Ryan’s!” The joke here is simple, ridiculous, and totally awesome — just the way we like our Steve Carell in the morning. Watch the short below: READ FULL STORY »

Kenan, Kel, Clarissa, Doug: I've missed you, my old friends
Image Credit: Lisa Rose/NickelodeonAs you know, we here at Entertainment Weekly love nostalgia. So when TeenNick announced it would launch its retro programming block, The ’90s Are All That, last night, we were at the party before our RSVP even arrived back at Nickelodeon HQ. Personally, the very thought of seeing Clarissa and Sam… Kenan and Kel… Doug and Patti Mayonnaise again… Oh how it made my heart flutter. So, if you, like me, feel a tingle down your spine every time you hear the familiar chords of Clarissa‘s “Na, na, na-na-na…,” if you know how Michael Stipe fits in to The Adventures of Pete & Pete, if you still have your original ticket stub to Good Burger: The Movie, or if the name Roger Klotz makes you shake in your suede boots, read on.

'Antiques Roadshow' comes across million dollar cups. Those cups runneth over, all right...with money!

Attention, PopWatchers: The glass you are currently enjoying a beverage out of could be worth millions of dollars. While that probably isn’t the case for most of us (or the news excited you so much you just dropped your said million dollar cup — whoops!), it is for a man in Oklahoma who brought a collection of cups for appraisal on Antiques Roadshow.
According to the Associated Press, an unnamed man brought Chinese rhinoceros horned cups that he owned to a taping of the popular PBS series during their stop in Tulsa. READ FULL STORY »

Chris Harrison blogs 'The Bachelorette' episode 9
“The sun always shines in Fiji!” Those were the words spoken by Ashley as she stepped out of the plane in Savusavu, Fiji. She must have forgotten this is the rainiest season we’ve ever had on this show. More on the rain and our production a little later in this broadcast. This show and my blog have become a bit of a travel guide over the years, and I especially feel compelled during the exotic dates to talk a little bit about where we are in the world. This week we are in Namale in Savusavu, Fiji, a small town in one of many Islands that make up Fiji. The high definition video we show you makes it quite evident this is one of the most stunning places in the world. What we didn’t show much of was the Namale resort, which is actually owned by inspirational speaker Tony Robbins. Tony is a great guy and turns out he was in town our final day at the resort and he came down and joined my wife and me at breakfast. Holy cow! That guy has the biggest hands I have ever seen! I can’t say enough about the people of Fiji and in particular the people at Namale.
As for the show you saw the return of Ryan. Oddly enough, I got a call at home one night (no the cast usually doesn’t have my number) and it’s Ryan. READ FULL STORY »

Honey badger spotted at Comic-Con! He don't care. He don't give a [bleep]. -- EXCLUSIVE VIDEO
Six months ago, the world was introduced to the illustrious honey badger — sorry, I mean, “The Crazy Nastyass Honey Badger,” an indefatigable creature who really does not give a s—. You know who else don’t give a s—? The denizens of Comic-Con, a famously audacious crowd who think nothing of parading in public in all manner of crevice-hugging, skin-revealing costumes. So we here at EW.com had a brainstorm: What if we released Randall, the man who so famously narrated the viral “Honey Badger” video, into the wilds of the San Diego convention center during the height of Comic-Con craziness? Along with colleagues John Carlucci, Chris Gordon, and Dave Schlow, Randall delivered the following exclusive video report from San Diego Comic-Con International, or, as he initially puts it, “the San Diego Zoo’s annual Come Along Intentionally Tour!” Check it out below: READ FULL STORY »

'The Bachelorette' episode 9: 'Houses and women are not the same'
Oh, the things you learn while recapping a reality TV dating show! (See: the astute observation above.) If you’ve seen tonight’s episode — and SPOILER ALERT if you haven’t — you’ll know that something truly shocking happened: One of the bachelors said that he “respects” Ashley! And he makes a pretty mature decision as a result. Otherwise, tonight’s “fantasy suite” dates went just as you would expect them — candlelight, flower-petal-strewn hotel beds, and gentle cutaways once the action between Ashley and her suitor approached R-rated territory. Stay tuned for my full TV recap later tonight (UPDATE: Click for Kristen’s Bachelorette episode 9 recap and Chris Harrison’s exclusive Bachelorette blog) , but in the meantime, let me know what you thought of this week’s “exotic” dates. Were you surprised about who went home? Were you surprised about who came back? Were you surprised that Ashley talked about her bunion on national TV? Post your thoughts now!

'Rent' director Michael Greif on the new look of his Off Broadway revival. Will it light Rent-heads' candles?
Image Credit: Joan Marcus
In its 12-year, $280 million-grossing run on Broadway beginning in 1996, the rock opera Rent won prizes galore and a cult following among a generation of young theater fans. One show, glory. So it may be hard to imagine why Michael Greif, director of the Tony-winning original Broadway show, would want a second crack at it. Why fix what ain’t broke, right? But the director signed on to helm a new production opening Aug. 11 at Off Broadway’s New World Stages that he vows is an even more vibrant, deeply affectionate incarnation of the late composer Jonathan Larson’s work.

(Fake) Severus Snape to young wizards: It Gets Better
SPOILER ALERT! If you don’t know Snape’s fate in the Harry Potter franchise, do not watch the video below. If you do, by all means, enjoy Canadian comic Gavin Crawford’s take on Snape filming an It Gets Better video for young wizards who feel persecuted or like they do not fit in.

'Friends With Benefits' vs. 'No Strings Attached': Let's compare!

Now that the Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis romantic comedy Friends With Benefits has finally hit theaters, we can legitimately compare its plot with that of the similarly-themed, hooking-up-with-an-otherwise-platonic-buddy Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman romantic comedy No Strings Attached. Turns out, they’re not quite as alike as you may have thought. SPOILER ALERT! READ FULL STORY »
