Show business often becomes a family business, with famous actors and actresses opening the doors for their younger relatives. Having Julia Roberts as an aunt couldn’t have hurt when Emma Robers was trying to land her first acting gig, and the adorable Apatow girls got their start as child actresses by playing their mom’s kids in their dad’s movies.

Thursday, December 1 marks World AIDS Day, an opportunity for people all over the planet to get educated on the facts about HIV/AIDS, what it’s like to live with the disease today, and how to prevent it. All week at Crushable we’ll be talking about what HIV/AIDS means to you, our readers, in terms of pop culture.
In the spirit of dispelling myths and sharing knowledge, we’ve gathered up twelve different portrayals of TV and movie characters who have the disease. Some have died, others are living with it, but all taught us something about it. More »

While the rest of us were shuddering over how creepy Jim Carrey‘s “comedy routine” of a video love letter to Emma Stone was, Kathy Griffin was preparing her scathing parody of her fellow comedian. Her video message, copied almost line-for-line from Jim’s, is aimed at the only young heartthrob there is, Justin Bieber. More »
We have no idea why, but Jim Carrey felt compelled to send Emma Stone a video love letter yesterday. Or, you know, post it on his personal website so everyone could see him tell Emma how beautiful he thinks she is and that he wants to have sex and freckle-faced babies with her. He later took to Twitter to announce the whole thing was a stunt, but we’re still pretty creeped out. Judge for yourself. More »
Severus Snape? Alan Rickman. Marty McFly? Michael J. Fox. Vivian Ward? Julia Roberts. We all know and love these characters, and their actors’ portrayals of them were so perfect, it can be hard to imagine anyone else playing them. But guess what? If things had gone a little differently, Alan Rickman might not have landed Snape, Michael J. Fox may not have donned Marty’s orange vest, and Julia Roberts may not have become one of the world’s most well-known prostitutes. That’s right: Each of these characters were originally pitched to different actors, and in some cases, were even recast midway through shooting. What other iconic characters might have ended up being played by totally different actors? Read on to find out! More »
Garfield Minus Garfield is Dan Walsh‘s brilliant webcomic that characterizes Jon Arbuckle as a lonely and depressed suburban guy through the simple act of digitally removing Garfield from the comic strips. With GMG in mind, we got to thinking about Mr. Popper’s Penguins, the upcoming Jim Carrey adaptation about a man who inherits a bunch of goofy Antarctic birds. What if the penguins were never really there? Is Mr. Popper simply a man struggling against schizophrenic delusions? Are his bizarre acts are completely unjustifiable without the existence of a flock of wacky ‘guins? Hollywood, we assume our check is in the mail. More »
It is super snowy in New York today! Luckily, most famous people are in Los Angeles, where it never snows and it’s always warm and beautiful and lovely forever. But sometimes celebrities are tricked into leaving their paradise state and forced to venture into the cold, where big pieces of white stuff fall from the sky. What is up with that? They are so confused! More »

When it comes to Black Swan parodies, The Kids In The Hall usually wins. (Mostly because they did the whole silly ballet dancer angry competition thing before Darren Aronofsky made the movie.) But last night on Saturday Night Live, Jim Carrey added some extra flare, and actually stepped it up a notch. Kudos!
And The Kids In The Hall version:
