'Glee': Do you irrationally hate Will Schuester?

by
Tags: , , , , , , Glee, Television

Does anyone else just…kinda not like Will Schuester? Kate Ward and I discovered the other day that we both love Glee but cringe whenever “Schue” pops up – especially if he’s delivering an “assignment” to his underlings, talking to Emma, or pre-, post-, (or worst of all) mid-rap. And that hair! And his nickname is “Schue!” We just can’t. Maybe our allegiance to Sue Sylvester is to blame for our non-tolerance, or maybe Will Schuester is just lame.

Anyway, Matthew Morrison was on The Tonight Show last night discussing his shirtless photo shoot for Vogue and getting called a “lame-ass” by Jay Leno because he wanted to greet President Obama in his native tongue. Watch the video below, but be sure to vote first. Happy Friday!

Fabber abs: Brad Pitt in 'Troy' or Gerard Butler in '300'?

Tags: , , , Movies

pitt-butler-absIn honor of The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time hitting theaters (and star Jake Gyllenhaal the gym), Vulture presents The Fug Girls’ History of the Sword-and-Sandal Ab, from 1914′s Cabiria through today. It’s an informative and enjoyable read examining what each actor’s physique says about his role and, more interestingly, Hollywood’s motive at the time it was filmed. After clicking through the gallery twice — one needs to be thorough — I started wondering whose abs are remembered the most fondly: Brad Pitt’s in Troy (“Consider it the movie that turned a washboard into a status symbol: If Helen of Troy’s was the face that launched a thousand ships, these are the abs that launched a thousand covers of Men’s Health. It’s like a six-squared-pack, and the abs that all other gladiator abs wish they could be”) or Gerard Butler’s in 300 (“It’s eye candy drizzled in blood and guts, elevating sword-and-sandal flicks to the faceless warrior porn they were meant to be”)? Poll!

New 'True Blood' minisode: Bill shops for a ring, in an open robe

by
Tags: , , , , , Television

I consider the latest True Blood minisode, which features a female jeweler making a house call at Bill’s because he can’t shop for a diamond during normal business hours, to be in the same vein as that VILF poster. They want us to know that they know how we feel about the show’s vampires. Apparently, Bill doesn’t like to be objectified, but in this woman’s defense, he did answer the door in an open robe. It’s like that scene in Pretty Woman, where Richard Gere doesn’t want Julia Roberts to answer the phone in his hotel room, but he keeps calling her. Watch the minisode here.

'True Blood' clip shows shirtless, post-coital Eric. (Why bury the lead?)

by
Tags: , , , , , Television

true-bloodThe Most Anticipated Abs of Summer 2010, those of True Blood‘s Alexander Skarsgard, have made their debut in a new clip from the HBO drama’s upcoming third season. Watch it here. Sookie goes to see Eric at Fangtasia, convinced that he’s the one who abducted Bill. Eric has an alibi — six hours of sex with new dancer Yvetta — and promises that as sheriff of the area in which Bill resides, it’s his duty to find him, “even if I do want what is his.” (Looking at Sookie’s cleavage twice was a nice touch: A human male would have looked once; vampires with super sex drives, definitely twice.)

Is this clip enough to suddenly make you want to win tickets to the True Blood Ultimate Fan Experience? Go to the show’s Facebook page to enter. On June 1, movie theaters in 50 cities will host a live simulcast Q&A with creator Alan Ball and cast members, as well as a screening of the season 2 finale and a sneak peek at what’s to come in season 3. Resist the urge to make a dirty joke, resist the urge to make a dirty joke, resist the urge to make a dirty joke…

'Moonlight' reruns on The CW: Smart move, but for whom?

by
Tags: , , Television

moonlightThe CW has announced that it will air reruns of CBS’s one-season vampire wonder Moonlight on Thursdays this summer starting June 3, following repeats of The Vampire Diaries. My first thought: Is this to help Alex O’Loughlin nab some more fans in anticipation of CBS picking up his Hawaii Five-O pilot for its fall schedule, or to give The Vampire Diaries an opportunity to win over some Moonlight fans who’ve yet to tune in? Or both?

Either way, it works for me. It’s obviously a nice pairing — Mick (O’Loughlin) is like the best of both Salvatore brothers, with Damon’s charisma and Stefan’s humanity. Plus, it’s got Jason Dohring, whom CW fans know and love from Veronica Mars. Moonlight wasn’t without unanswered questions when it was canceled, but you do get some kind of resolution to the all-important romance arc at the end of the 16 episodes. And it’s well-timed: Summer just feels right for totally gratuitous scenes of a shirtless vampire, particularly when people will be talking about the June 13 return of True Blood and the June 30 release of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

Work for you?

New 'Eclipse' stills: Standing around, preparing to kiss (otherwise known as 'the usual')

by
Tags: , , , Movies

twilight-eclipseImage Credit: Kimberley FrenchTwo new stills from The Twilight Saga: Eclipse have been released. One shows the Cullen men standing around looking solemn (even Jasper) in the kitchen. EW.com Photo Editor Connie Yu thinks it looks like a “Vampires for Banana Republic” ad, and I concur. P.S. Carlisle’s hair never fails to captivate me.

The second shot (after the jump) is of Bella and Edward preparing to torture themselves with a bedroom kiss (perhaps after he put a ring on it?). I think Robert Pattinson is showing just enough skin for us to tag this with the “Heavage” category. Your work here is done, sir. READ FULL STORY »

Ryan Kwanten keeps his shirt on for 'Glamour.' Good for him. (Bad for us.)

Tags: , , ,

kwanten-glamour_510.jpg Image Credit: Dewey Nicks for GLAMOURThis just in: A publication has done a photo shoot with True Blood’s Ryan Kwanten and allowed him to keep his shirt on. I fear this will become a trend.

Glamour enlisted the actor’s help for a fashion spread, 100 Nights of Summer Hotness. To counter for the curious lack of abs, they had the female model straddle him in three of the seven photos. Fair trade on the sexy scale?

P.S. In case you can’t read the tiny print, I would say the highlights of the interview are learning that he wore Incredible Hulk boxers to the photo shoot and that he fantasizes about being an apple picker. “They’re the happiest people in the world! I’m a huge apple fan,” he says. “I’m a connoisseur.”

P.P.S. Anyone else wish they had a high school locker to hang this in for the next month?

'Back-up Plan': Five ways it made Alex O'Loughlin look good

by
Tags: , , , Movies

The-Back-Up-Plan-Alex-OloughlinImage Credit: Peter Iovino/CBS FilmsIs Alex O’Loughlin a movie star? That’s the question I wanted to answer when I went to see The Back-up Plan this weekend. For all my documented appreciation of his hotness, I was surprisingly skeptical. I feel like for a TV actor to make it on the big screen, his lure should be so powerful that you have to watch whatever series he appears on — and even though I’d been bitten by Moonlight, I never actually made it to Three Rivers. Would his charisma carry to the back of the theater?

Perhaps you can guess the answer is yes from the headline. Before I begin listing the ways The Back-up Plan did him right, I should probably reveal a few things in the sake of full disclosure. I was with Michael Slezak, who agreed to see this movie with me the moment the shot of O’Loughlin riding a tractor shirtless was released. Also, we had to sit in the second row because we took the time to stop for a drink beforehand. We were only a little tipsy. Like, just enough for me to say, “Release the O’Loughlin!” when we passed Clash of the Titans on our way to Theater 10, and for him to suggest that be my headline. Now, on we go… READ FULL STORY »

'True Blood': Whose 'Details' cover is the hottest?

by
Tags: , , , , , Television

details-true-blood-covers Details has released all three of its May 2010 True Blood covers featuring Alexander Skarsgard, Ryan Kwanten, and Stephen Moyer. I know Skarsgard is the only one with his own PopWatch category, but I’m going to have to vote Moyer’s as the sexiest. Give the covers a look but not for too long: You’ll start noticing things like how nicely Skarsgard’s and Moyer’s heavage bookends Kwanten’s naturally bare abs (and loathing yourself). We’re takin’ it to a vote after the jump.

The interviews have also made their way online. We find out just how much of a young romantic Skarsgard was, and how proud. Best show trivia: He studied Bela Lugosi’s Dracula, Murnau’s and Herzog’s versions of Nosferatu, The Lost Boys and hours of nature documentaries to develop Eric’s patented look. “It’s, like, you see this big male lion, and he’s chilling in the sun, and he sits up and he looks at something, and you don’t know if he’s going to pounce or if he’s just going to go back to sleep,” Skarsgard said. “You never know if he’s bored or he’s frustrated or what.” READ FULL STORY »
