Bachelorette Ashley Hebert and her chosen one, J.P. Rosenbaum, visited Good Morning America earlier today to confirm that they will never be able to sit more than an inch apart ever again for fear that someone will think their relationship won’t last. Watch the interview below. J.P. says Ashley is going to finish school at Penn, move to New York, find a place to live with him, get a job, and, once they’re settled, they’ll talk about having a wedding as early as fall 2012.

Lindsay Lohan is on board with Air New Zealand. But is it first-class?
Over the past year, most of Lindsay Lohan’s camera time has been through the lens of the paparazzi or court cam. In advance of her upcoming film Underground Comedy, which has no release date yet, Lohan is changing it up and having a little fun in an interview with Air New Zealand’s muppet mascot, Rico. Following in the footsteps of David Hasselhoff and Snoop Dogg, LiLo answered Rico’s silly questions and even endured a little ribbing from the furry host. See the full clip after the jump.

Kirk vs. Picard, part 2: What about Captain Sisko?

As we all know, pop-culture face-offs are, by their nature, bipolar. Chaplin vs. Keaton, Sean Connery vs. Roger Moore, McDonalds vs. Burger King. The saddest thing about this is that, like our two-party government, our options are limited. And, yet, nobody ever seems to care much for a third choice when it’s presented — I’m looking at you Harold Lloyd, Timothy Dalton, Wendy’s, Ralph Nader.
Earlier today, you witnessed my esteemed colleagues Darren Franich and Joseph Brannigan Lynch debate the respective merits of Captains James Tiberius Kirk and Jean-Luc Picard as if they represent all that the mighty United Federation of Planets has to offer. But PopWatchers, I come before you to argue for a third choice, a noble choice, the right choice: Captain Benjamin Lafayette Sisko. The anchor of that greatest of Star Trek series, the haunting, murky Deep Space Nine, is everything a Starfleet captain should be, even if he was merely a “Commander” for the first three seasons.

The new Spider-Man will be a half-black half-Hispanic teenager

Spider-Man is dead. Long live Spider-Man! Marvel Comics announced today that a new webslinger will appear in this week’s Ultimate Comics Fallout #4. According to the Associated Press, the new Spidey is Miles Morales, a mixed-race teenager of half-black and half-Hispanic descent. It’s an intriguing shake-up for the Spider-Man character; Marvel superheroes tend to be personified by one iconic alter ego, as opposed to, say, the DC Universe, where roughly one million people have been the Flash. (This is the part of the post where I am contractually obligated to note that this new multi-ethnic Spider-Man is actually part of the “Ultimate” side-universe, and that good ol’ lily-white Peter Parker is still toodling along in the mainline Marvel universe. Comic books!) READ FULL STORY »

Captain Kirk vs. Captain Picard: Who is the greatest 'Star Trek' captain of them all?
Image Credit: NBC/Photofest
In a deleted scene from Pulp Fiction, Uma Thurman offers a unified theory of pop culture, which (this being a Quentin Tarantino movie) doubles as a unified theory of humanity. “When it comes to important subjects,” she explains, “There’s only two ways a person can answer. For example, there’s two kinds of people in this world: Beatles people and Elvis people. Now Beatles people can like Elvis. And Elvis people can like the Beatles. But nobody likes them both equally. Somewhere, you have to make a choice. And that choice tells me who you are.” READ FULL STORY »

Jennifer Lopez loved herself enough to walk away from Marc Anthony
Jennifer Lopez has given her first post-divorce announcement interview to Vanity Fair, and in it, she made three things clear: She and Marc Anthony both wanted their marriage to work, it’s sad that it didn’t, and she hopes to find love again. “It’s still my biggest dream. I am positive — determined to move forward with my life, bring up my babies, and do the best job I can as a mother, entertainer, and person. I now look forward to new challenges. I feel strong.”
Explaining her decision to separate from Anthony, she says, “It’s not that I didn’t love myself before. Sometimes we don’t realize that we are compromising ourselves. To understand that a person is not good for you, or that that person is not treating you in the right way, or that he is not doing the right thing for himself — if I stay, then I am not doing the right thing for me. I love myself enough to walk away from that now.” READ FULL STORY »

There will be a three-breasted mutant prostitute in the 'Total Recall' remake
The problem with modern action movies is not that they are stupider than vintage ’80s action movies, but rather, that they have become so bland, so milquetoast, so flavorless, the entire genre rendered insubstantial by the triple tidal wave of political correctness, the everybody-kinda-likes-vanilla method of winning over the global audience, and the brutal tyranny of the PG-13 rating. For truly, who among us doesn’t yearn for a more colorful time, when action heroes weren’t so emo, when the fate of the world wasn’t always at stake, and when a wild dude like Paul Verhoeven could introduce a three-breasted mutant prostitute into the hallowed history of cinema in the middle of Total Recall. But on that note, don’t despair, friends. Because today is a day for rejoicing: In a video interview with Collider, director Len Wiseman explicitly promises that there will be “a three-breasted woman” in his upcoming Total Recall remake, which will be PG-13.

Harrison Ford inflicts some cowboy justice on Papa Smurf
Cowboys & Aliens barely won the box-office weekend, and for awhile there, Harrison Ford may have been sweating his film’s rivalry with the second-place The Smurfs. He told Conan O’Brien last night that his own son elected to see the smurfier movie — but that he was attempting to get his ticket money returned. Then, he went all Chewbacca on Papa Smurf. Take a look. READ FULL STORY »

'Kenan and Kel': Why we must resist the urge to overthink it
Image Credit: Nickelodeon
Aw Here It Goes… (Sorry. That felt appropriate.)
A few weeks ago, I feared I’d lost my inner child. To me, that’s probably one of the worst things that could ever happen. I don’t mean that totally sincerely, of course. There are much more terrible things that can happen in life, but if we’re talking existential crises, that’s at the top of the list.
I was bored at home, and while browsing Facebook (the one-way street to boredom), someone’s off-hand mention of Kenan and Kel prompted me to look up and watch an old episode. I was horrified that I’d ever enjoyed it. Rather, disappointed in myself. READ FULL STORY »

When it comes to the saddest movie of all time, who is the champ?
Image Credit: Everett Collection
People enjoy the occasional good cry, especially in a movie theater. How else to explain the 1,300 reader responses to Kate Ward’s PopWatch post last week after the Smithsonian brought attention to a 1988 study that scientifically proved that the weepy scene at the end of The Champ is the saddest of all-time? What was apparent from the comments, though, was that some of our teariest scenes were also from our favorite movies, like Toy Story 3, Field of Dreams, and Casablanca. It might get dusty whenever Sam picks up Mr. Frodo on the lip of Mount Doom, but The Return of the King is not a “sad movie,” per se.
A great sad movie can be like a stomach punch. Fade to black, the credits roll, the theater lights come on… and there you still are, frozen in your seat, devastated by what just transpired onscreen. Tears are not enough. A great sad movie makes you ache. And in some cases, you eventually love it even more because of it. The Champ, actually, might qualify on the weight of its powerful finale. But is it the saddest movie of all-time? Sadder than Terms of Endearment? Sadder than Old Yeller? READ FULL STORY »
