If you’ve ever uttered the words, “That’s the Justin Bieber way!” then you’ve probably just done something very Canadian or in the third dimension. Or you live in the small town of Forney, Texas, where they recently allowed a precocious 11-year-old named Caroline Gonzalez to be mayor for a day — an honor she won by winning a contest on Facebook, natch — and renamed their main street Justin Bieber Way. (Ice Town isn’t looking so bad now is it, Ben Wyatt?!)

Gonzalez told local Dallas/Fort Worth affiliate KDAF TV the reasoning behind why she re-named their main street after that ‘tween pop star in particular: “I just really like Justin Bieber and I thought it would be cool if we had a street in our town named after him.” Fair enough. Honestly, if my town had elected me mayor for the day, in addition to making Dunkaroos mandatory school lunch fare, I definitely would have renamed my street New Kids on the Block Block, so I can’t judge.

Within minutes of our announcement that Kenny Ortega has signed on to direct a Dirty Dancing reboot, many of you had already echoed my own reaction to the news. (EWWWWW.com.) It struck me violently in the face that perhaps the horror of this situation can best be expressed by the original Baby, Jennifer Grey herself.

It turns out I'm still mad at Zack for trying to thwart Kelly's modeling career in Paris

Seeing this shot of Tiffani Thiessen and Mark-Paul Gosselaar hugging it out at a charity event over the weekend reminded me that I still have a lot of animosity towards Zack Morris. (Which sucks, because one-time EW.com cupcake-feeder Mark-Paul Gosselaar in person is pretty awesome.) He tried to take away the most important opportunity of Kelly Kapowski’s feathered little life because he was afraid he was going to lose her. That manipulative bastard!

Do you ever see photos of perfectly nice actor-people and realize you still resent them for something their stupid characters did? That’s crazy. We’re all crazy!

Funny or Die already covered The 10 Creepiest Things About Zack Morris pretty well. So the real point of this blog item, despite the headline, is that you guys MUST join me in reliving Saved by the Bell’s ridiculous modeling montage from season 2, episode 10: “Model Students.” There’s an Arrested Development hidden gem in it for you if you do….  READ FULL STORY »

Yanks fan Alec Baldwin shames Red Sox loyalist John Krasinski in latest New Era ad. But who's having the last laugh?

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , About Last Night, Television

It was a stinging loss for New York Yankees fans last night as they watched their team lose a tense pitcher’s duel to their bitter rivals, the Boston Red Sox, in extra innings. It was bad enough that the game lasted well over four hours, but that they coughed up their narrow 2-1 lead with ace closer Mariano Rivera on the mound was enough to ruin the start of the week for any of the Bronx Bombers faithful.

Thankfully, there’s another one of those brilliant New Era ads, which hilariously pit Alec Baldwin (Yanks fan) and John Krasinski (Sox fan) against each other to cheer us up! In the latest spot, Krasinski watches in complete horror as Baldwin has put a photoshopped (or is it?!) picture of him in skimpy Yankees undergarments at the JumboTron at Yankee Stadium. If the sights and sounds (“Oh! No!”) of an upset Krasinski (sorry, Krapalooski) watching this all unfold on national television while a giddy Baldwin laughs on the other end of the phone isn’t enough to remedy last night’s wounds, nothing (well, besides re-claiming first place) will.

Watch the full clip below and decide who is really having the last laugh in the Baldwin/Krasinski/Yankees/Red Sox rivalry: READ FULL STORY »

Oh, Sue Sylvester, where art thou?

Fresh off the heels of the news from Jane Lynch that she will be downplaying the great tracksuit-ed one during her Emmys-hosting gig next month, Ryan Murphy announced he’s on Team Schuester that the actress and her already-iconic character won’t appear in the upcoming Glee: The 3-D Concert Movie, despite being featured rather prominently in the ads.

According to USA Today, Murphy confirmed during a press conference for the concert flick over the weekend that Lynch, who was filmed during the tour and appeared at live shows via satellite, was left on the cutting room floor for the theatrical version. But she’s not completely out of the picture, Murphy explained. “We’re doing another version in a couple of weeks on DVD. Jane will be on that. We’ll do it that way.” (EW reached out Murphy’s reps, who did not respond immediately.) READ FULL STORY »

ABC's 'Take the Money and Run' premiere has me wondering where I could hide a briefcase of cash in the EW office

Probably in the bottom-right “fruit” door of the fridge. No one would, or should, ever go in there. Run! Run away! I am rich now!

Anyone else catch ABC’s series premiere of Take the Money and Run, which should really just be called Mindf—ing? Here’s what happens: Two people get a briefcase with $100,000 inside and an hour to hide it. Then some real investigators (who may access the pair’s phone records, GPS coordinates, and acquired receipts from that hour) attempt to induce severe nervous breakdowns by holding them in prison, eye-mocking them when they show up for questioning sessions in their orange DOC jumpsuits THAT ARE RIDICULOUS FOR THEM TO BE WEARING BECAUSE THIS IS FAKE BUT I GET IT BECAUSE IT’S TV, and basically turning the scenario from “You are participating in a potentially lucrative game show. What a fun, sexy time for you!” to “You took my money. Prepare to die.”  READ FULL STORY »

Twitter fail: When celebrities think you care too much

As a journalist on the periphery of the outskirts of the periphery of the celebrity kingdom, I can tell you that famous people are better and smarter than us common folk. Their stories are better, their teeth are brighter, and their smell… delightful. So when I make the commitment to follow a bold-faced name on Twitter, I expect to be enlightened, entertained, or at least belittled in some way. For the most part, they don’t let me down. But occasionally, I’m left feeling empty.

Take, for example, Hugh Hefner. READ FULL STORY »

Kat Von D cancels tour, says 'I suck.' Well, that explains it!

What?! No! No. This simply cannot be. Brace yourselves for this one, PopWatchers. Kat Von D, the latest inductee into the Official Jesse James Heartbreak Club (OJJHC) has cancelled her LA Ink promotional tour, following yesterday’s Good Day L.A. storm out. Before you start breaking things in understandable fits of rage, know that Von D offered a detailed explanation regarding the sudden cancellation on her Facebook page, in a lengthy post entitled “What can I say? I suck.”

Oh. Okay, Kat. That explains everything. The beleaguered Von D went on to apologize for yesterday’s drama, and expressed the heavy weight she’s been carrying since she began her relationship with James last year. To be fair, it can’t be easy being one fourth of a love quadrangle that includes a beloved movie star and a fetish model with a noted fondness for Nazi attire.  READ FULL STORY »

Kat Von D isn't having it with 'Good Day LA,' you guys.

Despite the fact that she announced her split from fiancé Jesse James over Twitter on Tuesday and the season premiere of her reality series LA Ink – which airs Thursday night at 10 p.m. on TLC – -was going to chronicle their now-defunct engagement, Kat Von D really didn’t want to talk about the break-up. At least, not with the fun times gang over at Good Day LA.

After Jillian Barberie and Co. showed a clip from the new season of LA Ink that featured Von D showing James one of her (many) tattoos, the 29-year-old stormed off the set (or as she explained on Twitter, “I walked out because of your disrespectful intro you guys ‘snuck’ in.”) Von D also tweeted, “Dear Good Day L.A, Thanks for the waste of a perfectly good morning. Lack of compassion and respect for each other never fails to disappoint me.”

Still, the abrupt walk-off and tweet stunned the Good Day LA anchors (who, as The Soup will often happily point out are, if nothing else, serious journalists). READ FULL STORY »

Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris get into a war of words. But we only have one word for it: Whyyyyy?!

There is nothing worse than getting caught in between a couple, post-break-up, while they go back and forth with their “he said, she said” routine. (Actually, getting caught in between this would be worse. Way worse.)

So imagine our discomfort when Crystal Harris stopped by Howard Stern’s XM radio show on Tuesday to plant irreversible images in our head bash the boat captain/magazine mogul. In addition to claiming that she’d never seen Hef naked because the 85-year-old rarely takes off his clothes (here’s an artist’s rendering of what he would probably look like), Harris said that sex with Hef only went for “like, two seconds.” The 24-year-old, who said she wasn’t turned on by the Playboy founder (jowls just aren’t for everyone) then meticulously articulated her post-traumatic Hef disorder for listeners, “Then I was just over it. Was like, ‘Ahhh.’ I was over it. I just, like, walked away.”

But Hef wasn’t going to take this lying down (not unless he had an orthopedic mattress or it was time for his 2 p.m. nap). READ FULL STORY »
