The Glenn Beck Animated TV Show

Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Television,

Word has reached us that crazed Fox News commentator Glenn Beck was recently pitching around Hollywood to create an animated series based on his life as a child.

I'm sure someone saw this as a good idea in the same way that someone thought Happy Days, Gilligan's Island and The Harlem Globetrotters would make good cartoons.

But Beck will need something now that his Fox TV show is going to be cancelled at the end of this year.

We asked around the various Hollywood studios and got a list of the rejected pitches for various Beck-based cartoon shows, none of which have materialized.

"Development Hell" must also be part of a vast conspiracy.

Here then, are the Top 10 Beck cartoon projects that may yet find their way to your flatscreen:

Charlie Sheen Wins in Cleveland, Trademarks Key Phrases

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Television, Rumors,

Charlie Sheen - Violent Torpedo of Truth tour

We kinda hate to say that Charlie Sheen showed professionalism and grace by shouldering his epic defeat in Detroit and going on to rock Cleveland to score a huge standing ovation -- that’s too much like paying the former Two and a Half Men actor a compliment. Instead, we’ll blame his amazing recovery and newfound comedic chops on Adonis DNA… while it’s still free for us to do so.

That could change soon. Along with Adonis DNA, Charlie Sheen’s company Hyro-gliff has filed paperwork to trademark several of the entertainer’s popular phrases, including tiger blood, violent torpedo of truth, sober valley lodge and duh, winning.

VIDEO: Jane Lynch and Matthew Morrison Carpool for Funny or Die

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Videos,

Even Glee’s stars have to drive to work -- at least, they do in this hilarious clip from Will Ferrell’s Funny or Die. Jane Lynch and Matthew Morrison are going to work together (in the latter’s 2003 Beetle), and all is well until somebody breaks out into song. Watch the video above to see the two hash it out.

Hangover Trailer Pulled From Theaters

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Warner Bros, Sequels, Comedy, New Releases, Trailers, Videos,

The Hangover: Part II probably isn’t the best movie for your niece, age 7... but the trailer for it is supposed to be. Pressure from the Motion Picture Association of America has forced Warner Bros. to pull their raunchy, monkey-infused trailer for the flick from movie houses. You can see the controversial trailer in the video above.

The objectional bit of the trailer is part of a scene featuring Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms together with a monkey and an elderly gent. Alan (Galifianakis) sticks a water bottle in the pants of the elderly gent, and the monkey… well, you can watch it above.

Expect a new trailer in theaters by April 15.

Russell Brand Ready to Rock New Film

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Adaptation, Music, Comedy, Casting, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases,

Forgetting Russell Brand just isn’t possible anymore. When the British-born comedian hosted MTV’s VMAs in 2008, he was relatively unknown. Now, he’s cropping up in star-studded comedies and pulling in huge bucks at the box office. He’s playing himself in Hop, the biggest movie hit of the year, and next week he’ll lead Arthur to the theaters.

Now, we’re hearing Brand is returning to his movie roots: he’ll be playing a rock star in an upcoming film role. He played eccentric star Aldous Snow in both Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Get Him to the Greek, to much success. Rumor says that Brand is negotiating a role in Rock of Ages, a big screen adaptation of the Broadway hit of the same name. The plot centers on a 1980s rock bar in LA owned by a washed-up rocker (Alec Baldwin). Happening star Stacee Jax (Tom Cruise) will headline a concert sponsored by the bar. Reportedly, Brand will play Lonny, the bar’s operator.

Mary J. Blige and Julianne Hough are already attached to the film, a gossip says that Amy Adams is in talks for another role.

VIDEO: Charlie Sheen Spoofs Himself

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Television, Meltdowns, Videos,

(WARNING: Explicit, uncensored language)

Charlie Sheen is recovering quickly from his terrible performance in Detroit in the best possible way: with humor. The actor has released a 7-minute spoof his 20/20 interview, and you can see the whole thing above.

We’ve watched it, and we think this version is better than the original -- which aired last month on ABC. Sheen seems unafraid to laugh at himself in the segment, sporting different T-shirts, over-using his catchphrases, even chain-smoking.

The video should do wonders for his comedy tour, which is going strong despite the Motor City flub.

Charlie Sheen Flops in Detroit

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Television, Rumors,

The Motor City doesn’t have a high population of Charlie Sheen fans... anymore. The former Two and a Half Men actor began his 20-city tour in Detroit, Michigan and fell completely flat before the audience of 5,000 over the weekend.

His show “My Violent Torpedo of Truth: Defeat is Not an Option” was unstructured, unorganized and not well received by the watching crowd. One reviewer likened the show to a “motivational seminar” and felt a “creepy atmosphere.” We expected as much -- we watched Sheen’s live Internet shows.
