There are so many reasons not to buy a replica of one of Kim Kardashian’s wedding dresses. First off, why in heaven’s name would you want to be compared to Kim Kardashian? Secondly, and most obviously, the dresses were as horrible as Kate Middleton’s was classy. But, apparently, there’s a third reason to avoid wearing a mass-market version of the Vera Wang dresses, which may still be sold at David’s Bridal: They’re cursed. READ FULL STORY »

She’ll ransack Pakistan and run a scam in Scandinavia but Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego right now? The Chief is no doubt on it, but we’ve discovered that at some point she’ll be at a theater near you. Walden Media confirmed to EW the reports that they have acquired the rights to turn Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? from a beloved 90′s kids show/computer game into a live-action movie. (That’s right, you’ll get to shout “The warrant!” and “The loot!” all over again.)
According to Walden Media’s statement, they are “developing it as a potential starring vehicle for Jennifer Lopez.” READ FULL STORY »
During a visit to The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Thursday night, Kristen Stewart shared what it was like being cemented at Grauman’s Chinese Theater (“It was definitely one of those moments”), how her clumsiness caused her to unintentionally (or was it?!) punch her Snow White and the Huntsman co-star Chris Hemsworth right in his handsome mug, and of course, Twilight.
When asked about the upcoming m-m-m-m (that’s Kristen Stewart talk for “a movie,” PopWatchers) Snow White and the Huntsman, Stewart regaled about how she inadvertently slugged Hemsworth during a scene (which she revealed will be kept in the movie) so hard that it made an audible pop. Stewart, cocking her fists, told the Leno audience, “Girls, if you’ve ever wondered if it works, it works!… I basically knocked him right out of his close-up.” Watch the interview below: READ FULL STORY »

When she gets a look at the latest list on Forbes.com, Drew Barrymore won’t be smiling anymore. The magazine ranked her first on its list of “Hollywood’s Most Overpaid Actors,” reporting that her films only bring in 40 cents for every dollar she is paid as an actress — and that’s without taking into account the fall TV bust Charlie’s Angels, on which Barrymore served as an executive producer.
Eddie Murphy had the unenviable fate of taking second place, though his return ($2.70 for every dollar he’s paid) was significantly higher than Barrymore’s. While the jury is still out whether Tower Heist (opening today) and his stint as Oscars host will bring Murphy the gold in 2012, his fate for 2011 is sealed. See what other big names made the list after the jump. READ FULL STORY »

The news that ABC gave full seasons orders to some of their shows, including Happy Endings, made me stop dead in my tracks (after all, women be stoppin’) and do an excited invisible hula hoop dance. More Max! More Jane! More whisker baskets!
Perhaps initially brushed off by viewers as another Friends or another How I Met Your Mother rip-off (which it’s not), Happy Endings, which started this year as a midseason replacement, has gained momentum in its second season thanks to word of mouth from fans, the firing-on-all-cylinders cast and writing, and, yes, a little bit of bad weather.

To say that Conan O’Brien made the most of his time back in New York City during his week-long stint would be an understatement. O’Brien, among other things, worked as a Chinese food delivery man, peddled along Central Park as a pedicab driver, and played a round of New York trivia with Mayor Michael Bloomberg. (Even the most seasoned, lifelong New Yorkers can’t brag about having done that!)
So how do you top off a week of fantastic programming in the Big Apple? Why, you officiate a gay wedding, welcome back Triumph the Insult Comic Dog (and send him to Occupy Wall Street), have a hilarious conversation with Louis C.K., and get a surprise visit from Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, of course.

You guys, I just can’t get enough. Yesterday, we all learned that typing “do a barrel roll” into Google would make your screen turn 360 degrees. And perhaps it’s because I’m nostalgic for the days of playing Star Fox on N64 in junior high, but I’m typing the phrase in Non. Stop. I am so easy amused and I need Pepto-Bismol. (Also: Way to distract those who hate Gmail change with something so awesome, Google!)
So, as we all sit here making ourselves nauseous, I find myself wondering, is this the greatest pop culture roll? (I also now find myself wondering, is this the dumbest thing I’ve ever wondered? Yes, yes it is.) There’s much competition: READ FULL STORY »

In this week’s print issue of EW, we look back eight years to the premiere of Arrested Development on Nov. 2, 2003. The series (returning to the small screen next year in advance of a planned feature film) lasted only three seasons on Fox, but with the way we play our DVDs over and over and roam around the office spouting out random quotes like “I just blue myself,” it might as well have been on the air this whole time. (If only!) I’ve learned over the years to establish complete certainty about which staffers are AD nuts and which aren’t, lest I be considered rude or uncooperative when I coolly tell people during meetings, “I don’t understand the question, and I won’t respond to it.” READ FULL STORY »
Brett Ratner appeared on G4′s Attack of the Show for just a little over six minutes, but that was plenty of time to cover a wide range of topics. The director took the time to delve into his new film, Tower Heist, the upcoming Oscars (which Ratner is producing), Occupy Wall Street (a “viral marketing” campaign for Tower Heist, according to Show co-host Kevin Pereira), and sex with Olivia Munn. Wait, what?
For those unaware of the gossip, Munn wrote in her memoir, Suck It, Wonder Woman!: The Misadventures of a Hollywood Geek, that she once saw a Hollywood director holding his “undersized manhood” while eating shrimp. It’s long been rumored that she was referring to Rush Hour director Ratner, and while he did admit on Show Thursday that he was the subject of the passage, he’s claiming that none of it’s true. And making sure to heighten the drama while he’s at it. “I used to date Olivia Munn … when she was Lisa,” said Ratner of Munn, née Lisa Munn. “That was the problem. She wasn’t Asian back then.” READ FULL STORY »

Many apologies if some of the things that I’m saying here sound irrelevant, or maybe even a little bit silly. In my defense, stepping into The X Factor‘s Adam-B.-Vary-christened Xanadome causes immediate side effects of hearing loss, confusion, mass hysteria — just total sensory overload. In other words, it’s fun!
A lot of this fun (and plenty of heartbreak) was delivered straight to your television for your viewing pleasure, but, as always, there were plenty of things that you didn’t see on TV last night. To get the full scoop you should probably consult the two diehard “Simon groupies” from Iowa who were sitting next to me, because those ladies made the Idol junkies look amateur. They each donated $2,000 to charity for their tickets! But for now you’re stuck with me, and I can tell you that most of the judges were feeling the heat last night. Simon Cowell could barely sit still, and Paula Abdul was giving out group hugs as if they were candy. Candy, I tell you! Read on for all the details on those things and more inside the studio at X Factor last night: READ FULL STORY »
