Well pull my baby doll dress and platform flip flops out of the closet, because the ’90s are officially back this week! Not only did Monica and Brandy reunite for a “The Boy is Mine” follow-up, but ’90s pop star Mandy Moore’s comedy pilot just got picked up by ABC. The show’s going to follow a newlywed couple as they open a hip restaurant in a small town. More »
It’s simple: If the Academy wants the Oscars to be interesting beyond February 26, let Jason Segel and Jim Parsons perform “Man or Muppet” at the awards show. But because of time constraints, they’ve decided to cut both Best Song nominees. More »
Do you guys remember Radio Disney? AM 1310, as we knew it in Marin, was the shit back when I was in middle school. Long before Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers, the station played hits by stars like The A*Teens and 98 Degrees; so many teen groups from the ’90s and early ’00s got their start on that station. They also had plenty of chances to call in for contests and just to chat with the DJs (none of whose names I actually remember). Radio Disney turns 15 this month, so here are the songs I can remember hearing for the very first time after the catchphrase “Radio Disney—we’re all ears!” More »
Tom Everett Scott is one of those hot character actors; you see him every once in a while in movies and on TV, but it never seems like he actually found a project that entirely fits him. Can you believe it was fifteen years ago that we met him as shy drummer Guy Patterson in That Thing You Do!? It seems like Hollywood wanted him to be the next Tom Hanks, and while that never happened, Tom’s really warmed to the “hot asshole” role, playing jerks that you still want to sleep with in Because I Said So and Tanner Hall (out today). Won’t you join us in watching Tom grow from gawky kid to Rooney Mara‘s hot family friend? More »
This week The Smurfs opens in theaters, and as displayed by her bedazzled Smurfette mini-dress, Katy Perry provided her speaking voice for Smurfette — her first silver screen acting gig. Here are five other singers who made use of their voices as animated characters. More »
Based on the trailer, Mandy Moore‘s new romantic comedy Love, Wedding, Marriage seems to hit all the right points: A diverse cast of actors that we’d like to see more of, and the chance for Moore to play neurotic as Ava, a marriage counselor whose newest clients are her divorcing parents. Instead, the movie quickly devolves into uneven plotting sprinkled with some fun moments. Which is too bad, considering that Dermot Mulroney inexplicably is the director. But is his presence reason enough to put the movie on your Netflix queue in a few months? More »
We met Mandy Moore from her 1999 single “Candy” and although she was often lumped in with the Disney girls, her career had the opposite trajectory: She started as a singer, then branched out as an actress. The thing is, we’ve always had trouble figuring out which one she’s actually trying to be, since nearly every project of hers has one of her songs in it. To settle the debate, we look at her big movies (in chronological order) and rate whether — regardless of lines or soundtrack listings — she’s appearing more as a singer or an actress. More »
Imagine my surprise when, watching Mandy Moore‘s new movie Love, Wedding, Marriage, I spotted Andrew Keegan playing a cute rabbi’s son. But what was really surprising was that he got literally 30 seconds in the whole movie. This is Joey Donner we’re talking about here! That got me thinking — what has the famous bully from 10 Things I Hate About You been doing since 1999? More »
Tumblr user Zachary James Dodds just pulled these four Ryan Adams quotes from the book SPIN: 20 Years of Alternative Music. It’s good to know that our favorite drunken alt-country troubadour still loves to talk about money, even though the difference is he has some now. More »
Tangled is Disney’s twist (so to speak) on the Rapunzel story, and it marks a return to regular animation in our post-Pixar universe. But don’t think that means Tangled isn’t as “cool” as Wall-E. After all, it did have a Double Rainbow parody for viral marketing, and stars the voice of one of Disney’s least-tarnished child alums: Mandy Moore (along with Chuck‘s Zachary Levi).
But like a Kanye West phoenix, a troupe of diversely ethnic young Disney stars have risen from the ashes of their previous Hannah Montana predecessors, willing to take on the world and become the next Miley Cyrus/Demi Lovato train wreck. It’s kind of cute, kind of creepy, but allll Disney! More »
Another week of performances on So You Think You Can Dance has come and gone, and although a couple of the ten remaining dancers were able to blow me away (Alex) most were just ho-hum. It was nice to see some of the better dancers challenged by something outside of their style — like Billy krumping, b-boy Jose trying Bollywood and Lauren dancing hip-hop. But were they successful?
The Best
After an iffy first week that landed her in the bottom three,… More »
So You Think You Can Dance’s seventh season is now fully underway. Last night, the Top 11 were paired up with their All-Stars — who they “picked out of a hat” — and danced in various styles for America’s vote. We wanted to rank the best and the worst, but there weren’t any real standouts. Obviously, we expected more at this point because, as the judges rightfully pointed out, there is no Top 20 this year. The learning curve that… More »
Mandy Moore apparently deemed New Orleans too dirty so she moved into the Ritz-Carlton while shooting her new move Love, Wedding Marriage. We don’t know what’s more bizarre: the fact that this kind of diva ‘tude is out of character for Mandy, or the fact that someone referred to her co-star Kellan Lutz as the “bigger” name. (Page Six)
