Sam Rockwell played Justin Hammer, kind of an evil version of Tony Stark, in Iron Man 2. Patrick Wilson was the gleefully sinister FBI Agent Lynch in The A-Team. Both actors were overshadowed by the all the summer-movie bombast. (Also not helping matters for Rockwell: there were an estimated fifty villains in Iron Man 2.) But EW readers (that’s you!) thought that both roles deserve more attention. Now we’re throwing them in the Under-appreciated Entertainer of the Year Bracket Game. You know the rules, PopWatchers. It’s just like the Thunderdome. Two men enter. Only one man leaves.

As we cruise into the second week of this tournament of should-be-champions, we’re discovering that one of the easiest ways to be under-appreciated is to be stuck in the middle of other, louder performers. That’s especially true in today’s TV match-up. Yvette Nicole Brown plays middle-aged divorcée Shirley on Community. Eden Sher plays middle daughter Sue on a show appropriately named The Middle. Over in the world of music, Elliot Yamin came in third back in American Idol season 5 (the year that Taylor Freaking Hicks won!), while the Avett Brothers mix together a whole laundry list of genres — folk, indie rock, folk rock, indie folk — that are practically underrated by definition.

But don’t forget about our beloved reality TV personalities. Rodger Berman tries to manage his wife’s company/insanity on The Rachel Zoe Project. Khloé Kardashian regularly has to set herself apart from her fellow sisters (you know, the pregnant one and the proud feminist).  Click here to check out our entire bracket of 64 reader-picked competitors, then cast your ballot on Round 1, Day 7′s match-ups after the jump.

KardashiansFirst was L.A., then came Miami (bitch), and now, in another move to expand the vast Kardashian family empire, E! has confirmed that sisters Kim and Kourtney will tackle the Big Apple next January in yet another series, Kourtney and Kim Take New York.

The 10-episode spin-off will follow the sisters’ efforts to open another branch of their Dash boutique in New York, but clearly what any Kardashian fan is interested in is the battle royale. I’m talking about Kourtney vs. Scott vs. Kardashian family, natch. This time around, Kim will play roommate with Kourtney and Scott, and the always-outspoken Khloe will pay a few visits—and, we hope, stir up some juicy family drama.

How do you guys feel about another spin-off?

MTV greenlights scripted series about a fame-seeking teen

Bo-BurnhamImage Credit: BryanIf Paris Hilton, the Kardashians, and the Jersey Shore cast have taught us anything, it’s that with the right look, a good publicist, and the ability to ham it up for cameras on cue, almost anyone can become famous without doing much of anything at all. MTV is taking that idea and rolling with it for a new still-untitled scripted series, starring rising comedian Bo Burham, who will also write and executive produce the show, about an American teen fresh out of high school who makes it his mission to become a celebrity despite a lack of actual “talent.”

The new show is the latest scripted series on MTV’s slate, joining the just-finished Hard Times of R.J. Berger , an upcoming adaptation of the U.K.’s Skins, and Teen Wolf, an update of the 1985 Michael J. Fox movie.

What do you say? Will you be tuning into this new pilot? What do you think of MTV’s new scripted fare?

Lunchtime Poll: Is Kim Kardashian more hairless than a hairless cat?

by
Tags: , , , , , , TV

Hair sucks. It falls out. It turns gray. It starred in Hair, which is the worst hippie show ever (hey, Godspell‘s bad, but don’t be hating on Hippie Christ!) Kim Kardashian feels your pain. She’s taking a stand. In the upcoming issue of Allure, the reality star says, “My entire body is hairless.” (She probably said that while writhing naked in an abstract gray universe.)

So, PopWatchers, is Queen Kardash going all Alien 3 on us? Or is this all a big lie? Does Kim Kardashian pass the Mr. Bigglesworth test?

PopWatch Confessional: What's the most embarassing show on your DVR?

kristen-hillsMy cousin visited me a few weekends ago, and we spent the better (and more hot and humid) part of the day, watching TV and basking in the glory of air-conditioning. But when the mini-marathon of Bethenny Getting Married? ended, and we couldn’t handle True Life or The Fabulous Life of…, I turned to my DVR to see what else we could plow through. Enter: The Hills.

My cousin was busy on her Blackberry, so I thought it would go unnoticed that I hit the play button and didn’t just change the channel. But then she asked, “Is this on your DVR?”

Foiled! And, I might add, slightly embarrassed. But yes, I’ll admit it: Among society’s acceptable TV fare of Mad Men, Modern Family, and Parks and Recreation, I also DVR The Hills (that is, when it was still on), The City, and, when it’s on, Keeping Up With the Kardashians. I happen to have liked mulling over the inexplicably interesting relationship between Justin Bobby and Audrina on The Hills. I like to stare at Olivia Palermo’s fake smile on The City. And the Kardashians? Well, I’m not sure what the draw is, but I’m fascinated nonetheless.

I polled some other brave PopWatchers, who shared with me their potentially embarrassing DVR list: READ FULL STORY »

'Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami' recap: Getting away with (accusations of) murder?

by
Tags: , , , , , Reality TV, Television, TV

My descent into enjoying the ridiculous, casual horribleness of Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami continued last night, with an episode that found “Khloé” in “journalist” mode and attempting to better understand the mind of the sociopath/serial killer. How she managed to lure Miami’s police chief to her late-night radio show, or score an audience with a renowned serial-killer expert is a mystery worthy of Jessica Fletcher — perhaps there’s just a little bit of famewhore inside all of us? — but I will state for the record that this woman makes me laugh.

Khloe Kardashian spends 30 minutes discussing her 'swollen mess' of a vagina: Why don't I despise her?

So last night I subjected myself to another episode of “Kourtney” and “Khloe” Take Miami, after which I drank myself into a stupor from which I just recently awoke. In my mind, I keep reliving soundbites about vaginal waxing, anal bleaching, and breast-milk guzzling from the sisters Kardashian: READ FULL STORY »

BREAKING: Kim Kardashian does not enjoy the company of burritos!

by
Tags: , , , Food and Drink

Kim-Kardashian-burritoImage Credit: Janet Mayer/PR Photos; John E. Kelly/FoodPix/Getty ImagesKim Kardashian took to her blog yesterday to fight back against a story in the National Enquirer that said she was caught in flagrante burrito on a recent airline flight. “First of all, I absolutely hate burritos!” the woman often seen on magazine covers explained. “Secondly, I have never brought Mexican food on a plane. This never happened and these quotes made me laugh so much…This is just hysterical!” Um, Kim Kardashian, what’s with such shocking information, so casually disseminated? Does not like burritos? Does not understand. Naturally, I must work through my conflicted feelings in poetry form.

On Kim Kardashian and Her Rejection of a Tasty Dish
Kim Kardash does not eat burritos
I object, I must raise a veto
Beans and cheese, tortilla and meat, oh
Too delish! She can’t take the heat, oh

She does not eat them on a plane
Apparently not on a train
But in the dark? Her secret shame?
I wish, I hope, but do not blame

For if the lady doth not feast
On these delights like a hungry beast
If her appetite for Mex has ceased
There’s more for me, to say the least

Celebrity designers take over NY Fashion Week: We grade the looks

by
Tags: , , , , , , , , , About Last Night

Last week was New York Fashion Week and as Rachel Zoe would say, it was bananas! High-profile designers like Marc Jacobs and their loyal following (the aforementioned Zoe) congregated in the Big Apple to unveil — and gawk at — the newest trends for the upcoming season.

But in addition to now-regular celebrities-turned-designers like Gwen Stefani, plenty of stars brought their creations to the catwalk this year, some as a one-off for a company and others for their own lines. Here, we grade the celebrity-infused runway collections from the meh (Kardashian) to the mahvelous (Posh!).

Victoria Beckham: The stone-faced former Spice Girl has certainly made a name for herself in the fashion world, getting attention from celebrities left and right. At an intimate Upper East Side venue, Posh showed her eponymous collection of slim dresses to the likes of Project Runway‘s Nina Garcia, and to sum it up, we’re in love. Dripping in embellishment, they are not, but Beckham’s classic dresses are all about great fit in bold hues like cobalt and red — paired with large sunglasses and sky-high heels, natch.
Grade: A+
