Fanfic writers, your dreams are coming true: Magneto is marrying Professor X.

Okay, not exactly. But the actors who play the iconic X-Men characters do have some wedding plans lined up: Sir Ian McKellen will officiate at the upcoming wedding of Sir Patrick Stewart and his fiancée, 35-year-old jazz singer Sunny Ozell.

When the topic of X-Men: Days of Future Past came up during McKellen’s appearance on U.K. program The Jonathan Ross Show this weekend, the English actor announced, “I’m going to marry Patrick,” provoking some fits of laughter from the audience before he clarified, “How else do you put that? I’m going to officiate at his wedding.” READ FULL STORY »

Magneto and Professor Xavier, together again: Sirs Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart will star together on Broadway in not one but two productions this fall. The shows, Harold Pinter’s No Man’s Land and Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, will be performed in repertory and both will be directed by Sean Mathias. Waiting for Godot was last on Broadway just four years ago; No Man’s Land last appeared on the Great White Way in 1994, starring a Tony-nominated Christopher Plummer.

This isn’t the first time the two legends have shared the spotlight. In 1977 they performed in the premiere of Tom Stoppard’s Every Good Boy Deserves Favour; in addition, of course, the two both appear in the X-Men movies. READ FULL STORY »

Ahh, the year of 2012. When we think back, what will you be remembered for? The London Olympics? The U.S. presidential election? The NFL replacement refs debacle? These and more were featured on Twitter’s year-end review chronicling the biggest moments of 2012. The flashy report details everything from the posts with the highest re-tweets to the top trends to the famous users who finally caved and joined the site. It’s entertaining, but extensive, so we’ve picked out our favorite tidbits and compiled them below. Here are the top 10 things we learned on Twitter in 2012:

1. If the election came down to mentions, Mitt Romney would have won: “#romney” and “mitt romney” occupied the fourth and fifth spots on the Politics Trends list, whereas “#obama 2012″ took 10th place. However, the most re-tweeted post (by far) of 2012 was President Barack Obama’s simple yet sweet acknowledge of his election victory:

That post was re-tweeted over 810,000 times by people in more than 200 countries. Talk about Klout. READ FULL STORY »

'Daily Show' correspondents go on strike, and you won't believe who's filling in -- VIDEO

It’s a good thing last night’s Daily Show taped before the NFL and its game officials reached an agreement ending their labor dispute. See, the lockout inspired Jon Stewart’s own underpaid, overworked correspondents to go on strike themselves, opening the gig up to a crew of scabs.

But unlike their NFL counterparts, The Daily Show‘s stand-ins weren’t mind-bogglingly incompetent. Instead, they were a startlingly overqualified crew — led by four-time Emmy nominee Patrick Stewart in a ridiculous John Oliver wig. Missing his Shakespearean take on Daily Show reporting — as well as Jon Stewart’s fawning reaction — would be a major foul. Forsooth, ’tis the video itself:

Ryan Lochte pool etiquette gets him in warm water, Patrick Stewart scalps Olympic tix for Funny or Die -- VIDEO

Is this Ryan Lochte’s audition for hosting SNL? He’s made a video for Funny or Die that’s almost a public service announcement for peeing in pools. He also appears in Funny or Die’s “The Olympic Ticket Scalper with Patrick Stewart, Ryan Lochte, Simon Pegg & Maisie Williams.” He’s less convincing there… so we’re thinking maybe just an SNL cameo is warranted.

Watch both clips below. READ FULL STORY »

The Olympic torch’s journey through the U.K. is near its end, and Monday it passed through the hands of our favorite mutant/Starfleet captain.

Sir Patrick Stewart, of Star Trek: The Next Generation and X-Men fame, carried the torch through Croydon in South London.

“Nevermind Jean-Luc Picard. I have attended world premieres of big movies that have not had the excitement and sense of pleasure that people are exhibiting today,” Stewart said of the crowd gathered for the occasion.

The torch relay, which traditionally criss-crosses the globe, has remained solely in the U.K. this year. Most of the 8,000 torchbearers have been athletes and various notable British citizens.
