When Jason Bateman starred in his first movie, Teen Wolf Too, he was but a fresh-faced young whippersnapper making his move from the small screen to feature films. Since then, he’s gone on to garner critical and popular acclaim in Arrested Development, Juno, and State of Play, to name a few. On last night’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, though, Bateman admitted he’d had some career lowlights — Teen Wolf Too among them. Fallon decided to give Bateman a do-over for one scene from the 1987 film. See the full clip after the jump.

'Are You Afraid of the Dark?': Which episodes made you answer 'Yes' to the show's title?
Image Credit: Nickelodeon
Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society… the Tale of the Wimpy Keith. I was always a little wary of the kids from Are You Afraid of the Dark? who would meet up in the woods in the middle of the night, presumably without homework, or Friday night plans, or parents who cared where they went. I think I may have half-expected for the series finale to reveal, in one of their trademark spooooky twists, that they were all just the Canadian ghosts of an ill-fated camping trip forced to tell each other scary stories forever, and ever, and ever. Except for Eric, who disappeared abruptly after the first season. Maybe his spirit found a way to move on.
And I will admit, some of those stories were genuinely scary. Like, ruin-any-chance-of-sleeping-scary. Alvin Schwartz-scary. Often you’d be safe with some cutesy retelling of The Monkey’s Paw or something about time travel and learning not to be mean to your parents. But every once in awhile the doomed souls of the Midnight Society would unspool a yarn so insidious and so shivery that it would stay with you for days. READ FULL STORY »

Arnold Schwarzenegger vs. Sylvester Stallone: The great '80s action movie star debate
Image Credit: Everett Collection
If you want to understand America — what we are, what we were, and most of all, what we want to be — then you have to understand Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone. The two actors exemplify two of our country’s most primal national myths. Stallone is a classic Horatio Alger protagonist, rising from impossibly humble beginnings into a world of fame and fortune and triumph and tragedy. Schwarzenegger is simply the Great American Immigrant Success Story, a boy from the forests of Austria who became a national celebrity, a canny businessman, and the chief executive of the eighth-largest economy in the world.
In the 1980s, the two men owned Hollywood, releasing a relentless series of blow-em-up action movies whose ridiculous excesses were perfectly matched by the stars’ impossibly muscular physiques. But which of the ’80s action gods reigns supreme? Read on for a spirited discussion about the eternal battle between the Italian Stallion and the Auspicious Austrian. Or, put simply: “Ooouuuggghhhh?” or “Aayyaayyuuggghh!” READ FULL STORY »

Melanie LaPatin on 'So You Think You Can Dance': Sasha is 'a moving work of art'
Hi, everybody! Hope you’re all doing well! I apologize in advance if this blog makes it seem like I’ve got my head in the clouds, but the fact is, I kinda do. I’m always on planes lately! But that’s good. I only ever really fly for exciting things, like going to Canada to work on SYTYCD there or L.A. to work on SYTYCD here… Here? There? Well, you know what I mean.
I’ve also been doing a bunch of interviews, some for Leading Ladies, the movie I did with Benji (the winner of SYTYCD/US, Season 2), which is out on DVD next month; some for Ballroom Remixed, the “dance” album on which I make my debut as a rapper (go ahead and laugh, it IS funny!); some just to talk about salsas and such, and what we do at the studio in New York. I think the only thing I haven’t been interviewed about recently is my cats, which is a shame — they really ARE fascinating! 
But you’re not here to hear about my babies, you’re here to read about SYTYCD. So let me buckle down and get to it, what do you say? Of last night’s performances, my favorite three (well, four) performances were… READ FULL STORY »

This Week's Cover: The dish on 'The Help'
When The Help, the highly anticipated adaptation of the 2009 best-seller about African-American maids and their employers in 1960’s Jackson, Miss., hits screens on August 10, it will represent a huge victory for the power of friendship — namely that between author Katherine Stockett and her childhood best friend, director Tate Taylor. “We were just these oddballs in Jackson,” Taylor says in EW’s cover story. “Latchkey kids, neither accepted in the Junior League set for various scandalous reasons. We knew the sun didn’t rise and fall over Mississippi.” Years later, after finishing the book, Stockett handed over the movie rights to her pal, whose one feature film, 2008’s Pretty Ugly People, made $7,000 at the box office. After the book was published — and catapulted onto bestseller lists (where it still remains today) — she faced enormous pressure to go with a bigger name. But she stood behind Taylor and his determination to adapt and direct the movie. “Once I made that decision it was such a relief,” says Stockett, “and I told everybody else to f— off.”
However beloved Stockett’s book may be, the subject of race — and of Hollywood’s complicated history with it — still hits a raw nerve in many circles. READ FULL STORY »

'SYTYCD': On the scene for Top 6 rehearsals, and an apology to Tyce Diorio, sorta -- EXCLUSIVE
Image Credit: FOX
Earlier today, I teased my exclusive first-hand look at the early morning rehearsals for tonight’s episode of So You Think You Can Dance with some ridiculously cryptic clues. I’d promised not to spill any big details until after the show had aired on the west coast — who am I to stand in the way of the “fairness” of reality TV call-in competitions — so instead, I had to get all ambiguous.
Not anymore! I have to say, as savvy as I’d like to think I am to the ways of reality television production lo these many years of covering SYTYCD and American Idol, getting to spend much of the day watching all the work that goes into mounting a single two-hour episode of my favorite reality TV show was illuminating, to say the least. And wouldn’t you know it, the day also provided me with the crow-eating experience of having to apologize to Tyce Diorio. Publicly. On this very blog. Right now. READ FULL STORY »

Oh GOD. E! is already planning a two-night primetime gala, and they haven’t even promised that the telecast will include the actual wedding! Check out this save-the-date, which is quite proper and ladylike save for the big E, erect and ready for action:
On the bright side, it turns out we are all invited. The chances?!
Here’s a list just off the top of my head for what you can do to better spend four hours.

What a fun, sexy time for Lucille 2!
And she’s not just being Miley in those fab feathers.
Do you think photographer Terry Richardson had to whisper “WITH CLUB SAUCE….” to Liza Minnelli, 65, in order to set an appropriately sultry mood for their spread in UK’s Love Magazine?
Also, you know when you have like 67 tabs open and most of ‘em get closed but one of em’ you just leave open and LOVE ON all day? This was it. How terribly grand.

This is it. It’s down to the wire. Six enter the SYTYCD glitter dome tonight, and four will exit for the finale next week. Who. Will. It. Be?
It. Will. Be. Melanie. Marko. Sasha. And Tadd! Right? Of course it will be. Ricky and Caitlynn, adorable and talented they may be, are battling against their own woeful lack of momentum — but maybe they can finally rev things up with their performances tonight? Perhaps?

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt chugging toward the final stop on the celebreality train

My how the Heidi have fallen. Former Hills stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt came out today to bemoan their downtrodden situation, claiming they’re broke and fundamentally unemployable after their stint as villains on the hit MTV show. The couple gave The Daily Beast an interview during which they spilled behind-the-scenes secrets, put to bed the were-they-or-weren’t-they questions about their 2010 divorce drama, and generally demonstrated how sad the life of a washed-up reality star can be.
