There will never be a role so perfectly constructed to win a Best Actor Academy Award as Colin Firth’s stammering monarch in The King’s Speech. That was the Oscar triple crown: A member of the royal family (ding!) with some sort of mental/physical defect (ding!) who fights Nazis (dingdingdingdingding!) Still, Leonardo DiCaprio’s upcoming performance as J. Edgar Hoover comes close: The film’s a period piece from Hollywood demi-god (and badass political commentator) Clint Eastwood, in which DiCaprio adopts an accent to play a historical figure in old-age make-up. A new FunnyOrDie video winks at J. Edgar‘s Oscar Bait-ness by suggesting that DiCaprio is desperate for an Academy Award. Nothing will stop him. Not even Brad “He’s so charming in Moneyball” Pitt.

George Clooney talks about farts to 'Rolling Stone,' still remains impossibly charming
Further proof that George Clooney can say or do just about anything and still be the most charming, handsome, desirable, talented man on the planet: In an interview in the latest issue of Rolling Stone, which he graces the cover of, the Oscar-winner talks about — among other things, including his relationship with Stacy Keibler, growing up in a famous family, and when he lost his virginity — farts. And, because it’s Clooney, the whole thing is impossibly irresistible. (Honestly, when they inevitably make a movie about him that stars some sort of Jon Hamm/Michael Fassbender/Ryan Gosling debonair-handsomeness hybrid, they’d might as well call it I Don’t Know How He Does It.)

EW's Bite of the Night for Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2011
We at EW scoured the TV line-up last night to find the best one-liners from your favorite shows, and folks were all about getting nekkid last night.

Are you just an average bear who gets his giggle on to whoopee cushion shoes? A glamor gal whose ideal Saturday involves wallowing in a mud bath, preening your flowing blonde locks, then meeting up with your boyfrog? Perhaps you’re a a lovable grump with the best seats to every show? Or an adventurous — yet incomprehensible — chef with an array of unorthodox implements?
In honor of this week’s cover, we’ve narrowed down Jim Henson’s Muppet menagerie and want to know which character is your favorite. If you identify with any of these types above, we have an inkling which Muppet you’ll pick in our poll below. For everyone else, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. What are you waiting for?

Mariah Carey loses 70 pounds, temporarily makes us care about something besides Kim Kardashian
Image Credit: John Kringas/Harpo Inc.
Thank you, Mariah Carey. Not only have you managed to keep us fascinated after all these years (I mean you named your kids Moroccan and Monroe, for goodness sakes) but you’ve come to our rescue in a time of need. You see, we have been inundated with Kim Kardashian over the past few days, what with her divorce from Kris Humphries, her divorce tour in which she talks about her divorce from Kris Humphries, and her eventual reunion with Kris Humphries. It’s exhausting to keep track of, and quite frankly, we’re tired of it. We’re not saying Jessica Simpson didn’t help wean us off our Kardashian konsumption with her pregnancy announcement, but that didn’t come as a big surprise. We needed something else, something unexpected.
So imagine our complete and utter joy when you — dear, reliable Mariah Carey — became the new spokesperson for Jenny and made an appearance on The Rosie Show on Tuesday. Not only did you show up to chat with Rosie looking svelte as ever post-twins, but you divulged all the details, including how 40 of the 70 pounds you lost was water weight. Better yet, you shared with your fans, honestly and refreshingly, about what pregnancy was really like for you. “I had a really tough pregnancy,” you told Rosie, “I was supposed to be on bed rest, but it was so bad that even bed hurt. I learned a lot being pregnant, watching my body change.” Top that, Kim Kardashian. (Better yet, please, for all that is good, don’t.)
Are you thankful Mariah Carey has given us a pleasant distraction, too, PopWatchers? What did you think of her Rosie Show appearance or her Jenny commercial? (Which you can watch below.) Share in the comments section! READ FULL STORY »
Brett Ratner's video 'apology,' courtesy 'Happy Endings' star Adam Pally
Well, that was fast. No, I’m not talking about Brett Ratner’s resignation from producing the Academy Awards after his use of an anti-gay slur and raunchy Howard Stern Show interview — although that was also pretty fast. Nope, I’m referring to the Funny-or-Die video Happy Endings‘ star Adam Pally just posted lampooning Ratner and his now-infamous statement that “rehearsal is for fags.” In it, Pally plays Ratner attempting to make an apology video: “Who cares? Nobody’s going to care about this. It’s going to blow over.” Mmmhmm. Check out the NSFW clip below: READ FULL STORY »
'Dancing With the Stars': Hidden Gems of Week 8!
Studies have shown that Hidden Gems of the Week, EW.com’s collection of reader-submitted ridiculata, is the best way to enjoy Dancing With the Stars without ever having to turn it on. It’s a visual feast of sparkles, fringe, and stunning awkwardness. Ready to go down the rabbit hole? Behold this bountiful smattering of Visible Gems!
***This week’s heap is extra-overflowing, like Tristan MacManus’ pot of gold and red-velvety treasures, because next week there will be no Hidden Gems***
MOST VALUABLE GEMS (MVG) OF THE WEEK:
“When Hope and Maks were getting their scores, Tristan looked like a grinning leprechaun perched in in a pot of silver.” –Gostivar
“First time gem hunter! I would like to nominate the bowl of pickles on the Chmerkovskiy family table. Instead of “fly on the wall” can we all start saying “I’d like to be the bowl of pickles on that table”?” –Katie Lyn READ FULL STORY »
Mike Tyson plays Herman Cain in new Funny or Die video
Funny or Die is launching a new political site called “Live Funny or Die” with a new video that presents the current field of GOP candidates. It’s a kick to see iconic SNL imitator (and recent memoirist) Darrell Hammond as Rick Perry, but the show is officially stolen by Mike Tyson, who essays the role of Herman Cain. (He introduces his “1-1-1″ plan: “One website where you can search for one word and get one response.”) Watch the video: READ FULL STORY »
Are you ready for the 'Glee' kids' first time?

Tonight’s the big night, guys! Everyone’s palms are sweaty. Their chests are heaving, the adrenaline pumping. The longing looks abound. Yes, it’s time for Glee‘s big West Side Story production!
Wait, not what you were thinking of? Right. There’s also the little matter of the three high schoolers who will have their first sexual encounter tonight. (Three instead of four, because don’t forget that Finn already gave that honor to Santana in a move I’m sure he doesn’t regret.) But Rachel is ready to give her precious gift to her sensitive quarterback, though her motivation may be a little questionable. And more controversially, the show’s most famous same-sex couple is ready to take their relationship to the next level, though Kurt and Blaine will have to overcome one obstacle with bedroom eyes. But my money’s on true love. Meanwhile, Coach Beastie’s getting back in the game herself.
Are you ready for tonight’s big show? Talk about tonight’s episode here, and, as always, be sure to come back to EW.com for my full recap!
