Carrie Ann Inaba falls off chair while judging 'Dancing With the Stars' -- HILARIOUS GIF

I just want to make sure everyone gets to enjoy this in low-quality pixelated form as much as I enjoyed it in high-definition television form. Here’s Dancing With the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inahhhhhh-ber getting struck by a tidal wave of sexual energy (thanks to Gilles Marini and Peta Murgatroyd’s rumba) and falling off her chair during tonight’s performance show:

“LET THE BABY-MAKING BEGIN!” Carrie Ann screamed; then toppled over while saying “That was ridiculous.” OH WAS IT? Not to be outdone, Bruno Tonioli promptly splayed himself face-up on the judges’ table in his usual “Take me. Love me! Devour me.” position.

It was bound to happen! I’m just surprised it took 15 seasons. (And a little bit shocked it wasn’t Bruno instead.) She’s fine, by the way, otherwise I would never have posted this. Yeah right!

I give Carrie Ann’s performance a 10. “Tehhhhhhhhhn!” READ FULL STORY »

From Ocean’s Eleven to his throwback leading-man aura, George Clooney has sometimes projected a Sinatra vibe — but he’s no Blue Eyes when it comes to singing. Nevertheless, the actor semi-reluctantly joined Neil Diamond in a rendition of “Sweet Caroline” Saturday night at the 26th annual Carousel of Hope Ball in Los Angeles where the Oscar winner was honored for his humanitarian efforts. He was presented with the Brass Ring award by Shirley MacLaine, who described him as the “most generous, sweetest, charming human being,” and the event raised $2.5 million for the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes.

Clooney only belted out a few words (“so good, so good, so good”), proving there are limits to his talents but none to his suavity.

(Children of) stars! They’re just like us. Everybody wants to be Adele.

And lately, being Adele means covering her hit James Bond theme, “Skyfall.” The Girl Who Whipped Her Hair, Willow Smith, tackles the moody tune — even playing piano — and the results, which she uploaded to YouTube, aren’t half-bad.

This isn’t the only Adele/Skyfall news recently. After her theme song sent the world ablaze, it was also used in a new version of the 007 trailer. Skyfall is in theaters in the U.S. Nov. 9.

Check our Smith’s version of the chorus below: READ FULL STORY »

'Supernatural' angel Misha Collins on the Greatest (and oddest) International Scavenger Hunt ever

Last year, Supernatural actor Misha Collins spearheaded the Greatest International Scavenger Hunt the World Has Ever Seen. And the 6,200 people who participated broke a world record.

They’re back at it again this year — this time with 10,000 people pre-registered — and if Collins’ preview is any indication, it’s only going to get weirder.

A little background: The event began as a quest to organize the largest global scavenger hunt ever — and, in the process, raise a little money for Collins’ Random Acts of Kindness charity. With 6,200 participants, who carried out tasks from a massive and highly unusual list that included earrings made of molars and flying foliage, they succeeded. And Collins promises it’s only going to get bigger and better.

“Unless there’s a horrible catastrophe and we lose 4,000 people to the forces of nature, I think we will (break our record),” he says. “It was a lot of fun to put together the list and it was also fun to see people pulling off these items that a lot of times caused people to have to push outside their comfort zone.”

Need examples? Not a problem. Collins picked out five of his favorite tasks from last year for EW (and gave us a preview of this year’s list). Read his picks below, in no particular order:

+A sculpture of a sea gull. Must be at least two feet high. Must be made entirely from (unused) tampons and sanitary napkins.
“The bird made out of maxi pads, there were literally about 600 of those, and there were some truly phenomenal looking birds,” he says. “That was a truly impressive lineup.” READ FULL STORY »

Guy uses Taylor Swift lyrics to pick up girls -- VIDEO

Tags: , , , , , Music

This would be the beginning of one epic love story.

Lots of young women (and plenty of dudes!) love Taylor Swift. So I suppose it was inevitable that someone would use Ms. Swift — and her songs about boys — to get dates. Filmmaker Tommy Wooldridge went the hidden-camera route in the video below, going up to random girls and dropping Taylor Swift’s most swoon-worthy lyrics as pick-up lines.

From “You’re the reason for the teardrops on my guitar” to “Do you remember we were sitting there by the water?” they’re all here. It’s totally ridiculous, sure, but you have to admire his commitment despite being rejected time after time…after time. And he seems rather sweet, no? A special well played to Mr. Wooldridge for working in “I Knew You Were Trouble,” which was only released last week.

Women have the last laugh! About time TWO gals such as Tina Fey, Amy Poehler host the Globes

Back in 2007, late great Vanity Fair writer Christopher Hitchens irked oodles of women, and men, in a meandering article, asking, “Why are women, who have the whole male world at their mercy, not funny?” A slew of others have followed suit over the years. Former Man Show host Adam Carolla sniped to the New York Post in June, “The reason why you know more funny dudes than funny chicks is that dudes are funnier than chicks.”

Tell that to Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, the newly minted co-hosts of next year’s Golden Globe Awards.

NBC, Dick Clark Productions and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association named the Saturday Night Live alums on Monday as hostesses of the 70th annual awards ceremony, set to air live Jan. 13, 2013 in Beverly Hills.

While Ricky Gervais spread his feisty, punchy, spitfire brand of Brit humor for the past three years as a popular, yet feared, host of the boozy show, next year’s telecast marks the very first time a duo of gals will host the Globes, the HFPA confirmed to EW. There have been previous female co-hosts such as Raquel Welch, in 1985, who co-hosted with Michael York, and Joan Collins and Wayne Rogers in 1983, but no solo female hosts either.

So why should this, two women hosting, and specifically Fey and Poehler, be celebrated, cheered, yelled from rooftops, if one’s energetic enough? READ FULL STORY »

Christopher Walken and 'Psychopaths' interpret 'Honey Boo Boo' dialogue -- VIDEO

Is there a Honey Boo Boo-sized void in your heart now that the season has wrapped? Rest assured, Christopher Walken, Sam Rockwell, and Colin Farrell are here to save the day.

During a junket interview for Seven Psychopaths (in theaters this weekend), the trio read verbatim dialogue from TLC’s Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. Naturally, Walken took on the role of mama and read about the family’s melted butter and ketchup concoction. But, as hilarious as his straight-faced read is, you’d better redneckognize that Rockwell and Farrell stole the show.

I dare you to watch Farrell say, “If you fart 12 to 15 times a day, you can lose a lot of weight” in a Southern/Irish accent without cracking a smile.

Changing loyalties, an inheritance and a mysterious man who may be up to no good? This kind of drama would feel right at home on a nighttime soap, but instead of being the latest twist on Revenge, it’s the plot of new play revival The Heiress, starring Jessica Chastain and Dan Stevens in their Broadway debuts.

The Heiress has an impressive history:  It was originally an 1880 Henry James novel called Washington Square, before debuting as a play in 1947 and a movie in 1949. Another film version was released in 1997. But despite its long past, the show — about  a woman (Chastain) caught between a controlling father (David Strathairn) and a young suitor (Stevens) who may only be after money, not love — is incredibly modern, according to Chastain. “It’s very relevant, a woman believing she is what the men in her life tells her she is,” Chastain said. “And it goes from her father to her suitor to finally at the end of the play, she’s on her own.”
