Amy Poehler’s Fierce Impression of Christian Siriano
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Video,
In case you didn’t catch Saturday Night Live this past weekend, here was the best part of what was yet another unevenly funny program.
In addition to Amy Poehler’s imitation of Project Runway winner Christian Siriano, we get cameos from ‘Tim Gunn’ and ‘Heidi Klum’.
(UPDATE: Real-life Christian apparently enjoyed the skit as well.)

The Worst Movie Title So Far This Year
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Lionsgate, Adaptation, Horror, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
Some movie titles are meant to give you a chuckle (Snakes on a Plane), others make you question the film overall.
This upcoming horror flick is based off a Clive Barker short story by the same name. I don’t want to give the punchline away (you can read it after the jump, if you’d like), so I’m going to withhold the name. If you’re anything like the audience I saw this trailer with, you’ll be laughing by the end.

New Wanted Trailer Released
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Universal, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Romance, Thrillers, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
And the happiness continues for the comic book junkies out there! Universal Pictures has just released a new trailer for its upcoming film, Wanted.
Due out this June, Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman, and James McAvoy star in the graphic novel adaptation, written by J.G. Jones and Mark Millar. Wanted is Russian director Timur Bekmambetov’s first American film.
With the release of the trailer, many have pointed out the major differences between the film and its graphic novel roots. Some have even started to compare the movie to last year’s ridiculous-but-fun action movie, Shoot ‘Em Up; however, I am not one to judge a movie solely based on its three-minute trailer. While I am hoping that this film does follow the comic more closely than it appears in the trailer, I think it looks like a good enough film on its own, no matter how “cheesy.” With a cast like that, how can anyone go wrong?

Whoopi Goldberg Addresses Former Co-Star Patrick Swayze
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, ABC, Video,
On today’s episode of The View, host Whoopi Goldberg took time out to talk about her friend Patrick Swayze. (It was recently announced that the Ghost star was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.)
She revealed that her memorable role in the weeper was primarily due to her former co-star’s influence. Had Swayze not influenced director Jerry Zucker to cast Goldberg, she would not have received her 1991 Academy Award win for Best Supporting Actress.
Britney Spears Comeback: The Sequel
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Rumors,
Gossip mag queen Britney Spears seemed poised for a comeback just before the VMA debacle, which started a whole downhill slide for the former money-maker. Now current gossip suggests Brit may once again be ready to get back in the saddle.
Spears is apparently talking with dancer Leo Moctezuma, a former collaborator, with the pair scheduled to talk again in the next few days. She’s also working on a video for Hot As Ice and apparently back to the business of her career.

Justin Timberlake Wears Little for The Love Guru
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Paramount, Comedy, Casting, Celebrity Gossip, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
Tired of seeing Mike Myers repeat the same schtick over and over again? Well, if you’re a Justin Timberlake fan, you may have a whole new reason to watch The Love Guru.
The film, which opens June 20th, features Myers as an American raised in India. He is invited to the States when his self-help advice is sought. Timberlake, who wears very little based on the preview pics, plays an athlete who has an affair with a hockey player’s wife. As for Jessica Alba - I believe she stars as the vacuous beauty.
Surprising fun fact? Not including his roles in the animated Shrek films, this is Myers’ first live-action role since 2003’s A Cat in the Hat. It only felt like he was everywhere.
You can view the Guru‘s trailer, after the jump.

Is Unhitched Worth Watching?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, FOX, Editorial, Video,
They say you really shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover. But you know, in some cases, that time-saving strategy can really tell you a lot.
Case in point: FOX’s new comedy Unhitched. The show (debuting this weekend) almost lured me in with names like Rashida Jones, Craig Bierko and the Farrelly brothers. But then I saw some teasers. And now I’m convinced a few seconds has revealed quite enough. (You can view those clips, after the jump.)
I knew a show that had Bobby and Peter Farrelly (There’s Something About Mary) on board as executive producers could possibly be over the top, but I thought at the very minimum the ‘comedy’ would be funny. It isn’t. Both the writing and production feel cheap and Bierko - who I’ve loved in other projects - sticks out like an overacting sore thumb. Thankfully, Rashida Jones (The Office) comes off well in the straight girl role.
Those who do find the following snippets amusing can watch their first full episode this Sunday @ 9:30 on FOX.

American Idol Contestant Has DUI Record
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, News, Rumors, Video,
If you picked Amanda Overmyer to be the first American Idoler with an exposed past - it’s time to cash up.
The National Enquirer has gone to the trouble of unearthing the singer’s checkered history with a lead foot. The Mulberry, Indiana native had already racked up a string of speeding violations prior to a DUI arrest back in October 2006. (She once hit 100 in a 45 mph zone.) The alcohol-related incident earned her a .108 breathalyzer score and six-hour stay in an Indiana jail. After pleading guilty, TMZ reports the singer received a suspended sentence has since completed her probation.
Making matters worse? The Enquirer also claims there are nude photos of her out there currently being shopped around. Awesome! If you were to add those two items to the 23-year-old’s criminal rendition of “Carry On My Wayward Son” last night, you could say she’s already hit the trifecta. (You can see that performance after the jump.)
The American Idol producers have yet to issue a comment. (I think they’re hoping the viewers will do them the favor of eliminating her first.)

Apatow Scores With Sarah Marshall
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Universal, Romance, Comedy, Casting, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
Judd Apatow has brought hope to the comedy genre yet again. The Freaks and Geeks creator has teamed up with past co-worker, Jason Segel (SLC Punk, How I Met Your Mother) to bring movie-goers his upcoming eccentric, new generation romantic comedy: Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
Written by Segel and helmed by first-time director Nicholas Stoller, the film follows music composer Peter Bretter (Segel), who was dating TV star Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell) for five years until she breaks up with him for British rock star Aldous Snow (Russell Brand). At the suggestion of his step-brother (Bill Hader), Bretter escapes to Hawaii in hopes of recovering, only to discover that Marshall came to the same resort with her new boy toy. He then is able to avoid committing suicide thanks to hotel receptionist Rachael (Mila Kunis). The laughs continue throughout with appearances by the regular Apatow bunch: Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd, Amy Poehler, and more.
