Video: Outtakes From Emma Stone And Bill Hader’s Star Wars Shoot For ‘Stand Up To Cancer’
Stand Up To Cancer has smartly utilized three factors to get their message out: 1) Celebrities like Andy Samberg and Zach Galifianakis 2) reenacting scenes from Star Wars in a 3) viral video. Back in September they posted the official video — created in partnership with Lucasfilm – but now SU2C has released a behind-the-scenes look where the actors talk about their love for George Lucas‘ enduring series and how cancer has touched their lives.

You Know You’re In an Absurd Ashley Judd Movie If…
Did you know that Ashley Judd has a new movie out? Neither did we, until we stumbled across the trailer for Flypaper, a bank robbery comedy from the writers of The Hangover. It fits Ashley’s movie M.O. pretty cleanly: It makes no sense. More »
Get to Know Scarlett Johansson and Chris Hemsworth’s Super Alter Egos with the ‘Avengers’ Character Posters
At San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel handed out these amazing concept posters for Joss Whedon‘s Avengers movie at their booth. Like a triptych, the seven posters — featuring Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), and five others — make up one big illustration of the Avengers. While there’s no sign of the movie’s big enemies, this is the clearest look we’ve had at the superheroes who’ve assembled under the always-badass Samuel L. Jackson and S.H.I.E.L.D. (the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division). More »
Samuel L. Jackson narrates — no, rocks — Go the F**k to Sleep. - I’m convinced they chose him based on Pulp Fiction and Snakes on a Plane alone. (Audible)

7 Movies with Unbelievable Premises: Whether They Succeeded or Crashed and Burned
With many movies, especially the recent glut of remakes, it’s easy to figure out why they’re being made. But others, including three releases from this week — Passion Play, The Beaver, and Hobo with a Shotgun — have plots so implausible that they must be jokes, we thought, until they actually came to theaters. Find out how aliens, hand puppets, angel wings, deadly snakes, and mythical characters all made it to the big screen, and whether they made good on their promises to entertain. More »
Tom Cruise Dirty Dances With Jennifer Lopez At MTV Movie Awards
Tom Cruise and Jennifer Lopez got a rousing standing ovation for pulling off the most hilariously awesome MTV stunt in years. Dressed as his crusty Tropic Thunder character, Tom dirty-danced with J.Lo to Ludacris’ “You Don’t Know Me Like That” as the audience looked on in stunned amusement.
Tom gyrated across the stage like MC Hammer, busting out moves we’ve not seen since his Risky Business air guitar. Then J.Lo came out looking like the J.Lo of Yore (aka, 2005) and… More »
Want to buy the used tissue of Scarlett Johansson?
Actress Scarlett Johansson was on the Tonight Show last night, and she had a pretty nasty cold that she said she caught from actor Samuel Jackson. Since it’s a “celebrity” cold, Jay and Scarlett talked about how these germs have value of some kind, and decided that her snotty tissue should be put on eBay for charity (eww!). Here’s the video:
You can see the eBay listing here, bidding is up to $2000!
