As a long-time Arrested Development fan, I’ve ‘fessed up to being totally okay with it if they don’t end up making that movie. But it turns out I’m even more okay with a YouTube user named 205rady taking the time out of whatever he does all day (“Did…nothing cancel?”) to create this hilarious action movie trailer from scenes that already exist in the show. No new footage required. No more dizzies! Brilliance awaits after the jump. READ FULL STORY »

Michael Cera talks 'Arrested Development' movie: 'I feel scared by all the expectations'
Image Credit: Chris Hatcher/PR PhotosI recently spoke with Michael Cera about his new superpowers-and-rock-music comedy Scott Pilgrim vs. The World for this week’s Summer Must Issue. At the end of our chat, I asked him about the current status of the on-again-off-again Arrested Development film, as all EW writers are legally obliged to do whenever we talk to an AD cast member.
The news was not encouraging. Cera said he hadn’t spoken to Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz about the movie “in a while.” More generally, the actor admitted to being apprehensive about the project. “I feel scared by the all the expectations on it at this point,” he revealed. “People ask me about it a lot. And to make a movie that already has expectations built in before the script is even written seems intimidating.”
On the other hand, Arrested Development fans can look forward to a mini cast reunion in Scott Pilgrim. One of Cera’s costars is Mae Whitman, who portrayed his girlfriend Ann on AD but, in Scott Pilgrim, plays one of the punch-happy “evil exes” of Cera’s new gal pal. “It was great,” Cera said of re-teaming with Whitman. “She’s so funny in this, and impressive too in her fight sequence.”
Do you still think an Arrested Development movie is a good idea? Are you excited to see Cera and Whitman back together in Scott Pilgrim (an event that is very briefly previewed in the trailer, which I’ve posted after the jump)?

Lunchtime Poll: Bacon or Smoked Salmon vodka?
Image Credit: Sam Urdank/FoxSorry to bring up alcohol at lunchtime, but Lucille Bluth has been at it since 8 o’clock in the morning and we all need to catch up. (That martini to your right? “That one didn’t count.”) A trendy Google news story alerted us yesterday via meatwave that not only is there a bacon-infused vodka out there named Bakon, but a smoked salmon-flavored vodka has made its way into Bloody Marys, creamy pasta dishes, and the parched mouths of fishermen up in wacky Alaska.
Which would you try? I feel like I’d have to sample smoked salmon vodka one time just for cred, but that I could go on sipping bacon-infused anything for the rest of my days.
DON’T EVER MENTION KLIMPY’S TO ME AGAIN!

'My Life on the D List' recap: Old Miss Imperfect
Image Credit: Jaimie Trueblood/BravoOn last night’s My Life on the D List, Kathy Griffin judged a toddlers’ beauty pageant with her mom (of course), then put on her own toddler beauty pageant for her mom and a completely bewildered audience. “It’s about making a connection with people,” Kathy summed up looking like the Red Queen, cupcake hands all wrong (pictured). The whole thing was very Sports Kids Moms and Dads, Toddlers & Tiaras, Little Miss Perfect, and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Yo Gabba Gabba!, and Night of the Living Dead all wrapped up in a filled-to-bursting tank of disgusting kiddie spray tan. It was exactly like that. Oh, and Kathy’s remodeling her “house,” which is now a war zone. She has no plan, just demolition, stacks of wood, a sad pipe where her bar used to be, and a single glass of white w(h)ine for her mother.
The entire episode was surreal. I only tuned in because Liza Minnelli was on last week; I don’t usually watch this show at full attention, but now I know I’ll never stop. I used to assume I’d want to violently shake Kathy Griffin by the shoulders the whole time, and that’s still true, but I’d want to do that because I love her so much, if that makes sense. Also, I want to get drunk with her mom.
Favorite KG quote of the night: “It was really fun judging the infants. You could judge on character, poise, and if they s— themselves while being held by their gay father.” More gems after the jump. READ FULL STORY »

Kimmel's 'Twilight' special contains this situation
Image Credit: Mitch Haddad/ABC/AP ImagesABC has released this pic of Jersey Shore‘s Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino re-imagining Robert Pattinson’s role in Twilight. It could be one of Jimmy’s fantasies translated into an actual photo shoot, but officially it is part of next week’s Jimmy Kimmel Live: Twilight Saga: Total Eclipse of the Heart special, airing Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET.
Let us know how off-putting it is to see Edward Cullen with severe abs, IN A TANNING COFFIN, in the comments below; feel free to just say “this much!” as if triumphantly holding up a fish you just caught near the shore. Or do you want Edward to have lumpy abs? I barely care about Edward and I vehemently don’t want him to have abs, especially abs that look like George Michael’s bodysuit from the “Living Classics” Pageant in Arrested Development. But that’s me.

New 'Scott Pilgrim' trailer: Beatings, a 'boob' reference, and Brandon Routh
Director Edgar Wright has just posted the international trailer for his new movie Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. As I recently spoke with the Shaun of the Dead auteur about his latest genre-splicing extravaganza, I probably shouldn’t offer a personal opinion about it. But I do suggest that if you have even the vaguest interest in superheroes, video games, cool-looking female drummers, visual gags about urination, people getting punched in the face, people getting punched “in the boob,” absurdly large hammers, Arrested Development mini-reunions, and/or Brandon Routh being really rather amusing, then you might care to check out the clip, which I’ve posted after the break.
What do you think of the trailer? Are you counting down the days until the film’s Aug. 13 release? And did you spot the Arrested Development cast member who isn’t Michael Cera?

Jason Bateman and Dustin Hoffman share JumboTron kiss. I just blue myself.
Image Credit: London Ent/Splash NewsNow this is how you do it, Miley. Last night, at the Lakers-Celtics game, Dustin Hoffman saw his face on the Kiss Cam, turned to his own wife, undoubtedly said, “Her?”, and then asked Jason Bateman to teach him the ways of the secular flesh. Dustin love Michael, guys! The only way this moment could possibly have been any better is if Hoffman morphed into Jon Hamm, and I somehow found a way to wedge myself between them and scream “Steve Holt!” in celebration. [TMZ]

Lunchtime Poll: Fiercest pop-culture bird?
Ever since Miley Cyrus’ stunning tribute to avian culture — the video for “Cant Be Tamed” — came out last week, I’ve been trying to gauge the nation’s thoughts on who makes the fiercest bird in pop culture. My favorite bird impersonators are obviously various members of Arrested Development‘s Bluth family, but Miley and some of the queens on this season of RuPaul’s Drag Race put up a worthy challenge to the crown of feathers. Vote below. Note: I am not including Big Bird because he is so f—ing fierce he would win way too easily.
