Well, the moment anyone who ever perfected a “Bye Bye Bye” dance dreaded has finally arrived: Justin Timberlake is officially hitched. Alas, he didn’t marry you; he married Jessica Biel. Best wishes to them, of course. But Twitter informs me that some women are just a wee bit upset at hearing the news that the guy they’ve been planning to marry since they were 13 has gone and rudely tied the knot without them. I just received an email from a friend “jokingly” asking if we could cancel our plans tonight, as she would be inconsolable for at least 24 hours.

In honor of the new chapter in his life – and then end of a chapter in yours — check out some of our favorite moments that have had us crushing on Timberlake over the years.

He Displays Some Model Behavior:
For many, this was where the crush began. If the movies have taught us anything, it’s that the only thing between you and your favorite celebrity falling in love with you is physically being in the same space. That’s certainly the story when Jason (Timberlake) falls in love with a real-life, ordinary high school girl. (Start the video at 6:00 for maximum Timberlake swooning). READ FULL STORY »

Imagining a 'Family Circus' movie -- as directed by Fincher, Burton, Eastwood...

Golly gee willikers, funnies fans! The circus is coming to town — The Family Circus, that is! (Nailed it.)

While a film adaptation of everyone’s fourth-favorite one-panel comic has been in development since 2010, Fox and Walden Media have only just selected a writing team to pen a script. Nichole Millard and Kathryn Price seem like the right pair for the job; their first movie, 2007′s The Game Plan, was a feel-good family flick about the joys of parenthood. As long as they can come up with some killer “pasketti and meat bulbs” jokes, they’ll be good to go.

But Millard and Price’s script can only take The Family Circus: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut so far. Film is a director’s medium — and material this rich is sure to attract a stable of big names. How could each of the contenders put his own stamp on the project? Let’s play a game of Bil Keane-approved make believe.

David Fincher
A grown-up Billy (Jesse Eisenberg) has graduated from nicking cookies to robbing banks — and now he’s leading a team of cops on a wild goose chase over the fence, up the tree, down the tree, into the fountain, inside the doghouse, under the garage…

Matthew Fox spoofs Mitt Romney in 'Dockers of Destiny' trailer -- VIDEO

Tags: , , , , , , , , , TV

First a serial killer and now Mitt Romney? Matthew Fox’s latest movie roles are a far cry from his Lost persona.

The Alex Cross star stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live to tease his latest project: a leading role in the Lifetime biopic Mitt Romney and the Dockers of Destiny. Okay, not quite. He impersonates Romney (presidential hair and all) in a spoof trailer for a faux movie.

The clip is clever, but it’s introduction is even more amusing. Neither Fox nor Jimmy Kimmel crack a smile when discussing the TV movie about “great leaders” who are “born of great struggles.” “I kind of like playing things that are based on real people. I find myself attracted to that stuff,” Fox says.

It’d actually pay to see Fox in this film if it was about Dockers briefs instead of Dockers slacks.

President Obama on 'Daily Show' talks debates and Libya, but not '50 Shades of Grey' -- VIDEO

President Obama may have been all smiles for his sixth appearance on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart earlier tonight, but the conversation, for the most part, was far from a joke.

Stewart did start on a light note, teasing the President on his poor first debate performance. He showed the president two photos of Michelle Obama – one angry-looking from after the first debate, and one grinning after the second – and told him he was making a scrapbook and wondered if Obama could tell him which photo was after which. “Cute. Cute, Jon,” Obama said with a laugh.

After that, Stewart dove into harder topics. In the first of two segments, Obama touted his record, and stuck to talking points about the auto industry and inheriting a bad economy. Most interestingly, Stewart asked him what the stronger case was: an “affirmative case” for a second Obama term, or a negative case for a Mitt Romney administration. Obama predictably said both. “We have a very strong story to tell whether it is on social issues such as ending Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, or on economic issues that matter for middle-class families,” he said. He continued, on the other side of the equation: “You want a president in the Oval Office who’s going to say, ‘No, we’re not going to amend our constitution for the first time to restrict rights for gay and lesbian couples,’” a line that was met with some of the loudest applause of the night.

Kellan Lutz says he'll win an Oscar someday

From vampire red blood to Oscar’s red carpet?

Kellan Lutz (who plays Edward’s big bro Emmett in the Twilight franchise) recently told DuJour magazine, “I want to act for the rest of my life. I’ll win an Oscar one day, but I’m in no rush to get there. I don’t care if that takes me 50 years, and I’m old. I just love what I do.”

While I think we can all agree Lutz won’t be receiving an Oscar for his body of work in Twilight, who knows what the future will hold? His previous roles (90210, Stick It) haven’t required much of him beyond his good looks, but perhaps the future will showcase the talent buried underneath his pounds of muscle. READ FULL STORY »

Honey Boo Boo performs classic Christopher Walken lines -- VIDEO

You gotta have more go-go juice!

Here comes…more Honey Boo Boo videos. How should you feel about that? You could make an argument that the joke is over and that the entire Honey Boo Boo clan needs to disappear from TV stat. You could also say that they’re having fun, are no worse than the Kardashians (high praise?), and that there are bigger causes one should take up.

Loving it? Needing it to end? Either way you’ll probably have an opinion on this newest video, courtesy of Screen Junkies. Last week, they had the cast of Seven Psychopaths – including Christopher Walken — read Here Comes Honey Boo Boo dialogue. Thanks to Walken, the results went viral. Now, the tables have turned.

After watching this clip of Honey Boo Boo (Alana) and Mama June reading famous Walken lines, I promise you that it will make you laugh/ roll your eyes/ sigh. When Mama June shares that she doesn’t like big words, you can chuckle at / weep for/ re-evalute your life choices. When you realize all of this won’t be over anytime soon (TLC has picked up the show for some holiday specials, and more episodes are all but a guarantee), be prepared to cheer and book your DVR/ look into reading more / continue to ignore.

Watch Honey Boo Boo perform Walken’s famous “Gotta Have More Cowbell!” speech and more below: READ FULL STORY »

“Hey, Justin. Hey, it’s Aaron. I can’t come out tonight.” I need to talk about your video.

On Monday, Aaron Carter tweeted, “Justin Bieber’s new video reminds me of my video for Aaron’s Party.” Carter is referring to Bieber’s new self-directed video for his duet with Nicki Minaj, “Beauty and the Beat.” While the two videos are different — and Carter certainly didn’t say it was a rip-off — he’s got a point. For anyone who was the right tween age for “Aaron’s Party,” the “Beauty” video was bound to bring back a few PG-rated house party memories. (Although Carter’s party never had the star grinding against Nicki Minaj).

Because we at PopWatch will take just about any excuse to look back at that 2000 (!) hit, we broke down some intel regarding teen pop idols then and now.

Number of Albums Sold:
Bieber: 1.5 million (for Believe)(doesn’t include digital downloads)
Carter: 1.5 million (for Aaron’s Party (Come Get It) ) READ FULL STORY »

Deja vu?

Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro are headed back into the ring. They will both once again play a boxer, this time in Grudge Match, EW has confirmed with Warner Bros.  The news was first reported by Deadline.

Stallone is of course famous for Rocky and De Niro tackled the role of Jake LaMotta in 1980′s Raging Bull. That got us thinking about other actors – who have an iconic, everyone-knows-it role – that go back to a similar part years later (not in official sequels). We’re not talking about actors that just play the same role in every movie. Rather, thespians who have taken on many different roles but return to a famous one.
