Video: Kermit the Frog Schmoozes Johnny Depp, Kisses Vanessa Hudgens
Kermit the Frog did red carpet commentary at the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides premiere as promotion for the upcoming Muppets movie. Despite being a puppet, he was ten times more charismatic and funny than Giuliana Rancic. Among the awesome stuff in this video: Geoffrey Rush saying Kermit should have played a monkey in the movie, Keith Richards being himself, Kirstie Alley getting lip gloss on Kermit, Johnny Depp being nice and effacing about Kermit’s Jack Sparrow costume, and Kermit hitting on Vanessa Hudgens.

The Internet Backlash Is Here, and It’s Coming From Celebrities
In a recent interview with People, Vanessa Hudgens — she of the third round of leaked nude pics — expressed her distaste for the Internet. When asked to name the best invention, the Sucker Punch star instead said, “I know what the worst invention ever is. The Internet. I think it’s ruining everyone, and it just makes everybody way too accessible — it just takes away the glamor and mystery of our business.” More »

Girl Crushable: The Ladies of ‘Sucker Punch’
So, apparently I’m the only person on the Internet who actually liked Sucker Punch. (Jennifer at TheGloss hated how strangely personal the various tortures were.) Note that I did not love it: The messages about female empowerment and male possession were at times heavyhanded and incredibly confusing. But as I said to my friends when I left the screening, “I wish I had thought up this story.” To have time to play in the world that Zack Snyder — in his first wholly original work — created would have been a thrill.
But the video-game aesthetic of the worlds-within-worlds comes second in criticism to the hyper-sexualization of the five female leads. That was the part of Sucker Punch that made me uncomfortable, because it was often difficult to tell if this blend of sultry strip dancing (more on that in a minute) and ass-kicking were for the girls’ benefit, or for the men who were invariably watching.

Video: Conan O’Brien Wears A Spirit Hood!
Vanessa Hudgens was a guest on Conan last night, and she brought Mr. O’Brien a Spirit Hood! He got the wolf, which is cute, but we totally would have pegged CoCo as a panda. Also, in her interview we learn that Vanessa and her mom hang out at the Saddle Ranch Chop House in West Hollywood, which is where all the sorority girls we went to college with would go to ride the mechanical bull and vomit.
Bull Spirit Hood, anyone? More »

In an Alternate Universe, Alexa Nikolas Could Have Leaked Vanessa Hudgens’ Nude Photos
By now, it seems clear that members of an Internet hacking ring were responsible for leaking Vanessa Hudgens‘ nude photos, in which she and Zoey 101 star Alexa Nikolas posed in their underwear and made out. Hudgens has since brought the FBI into the investigation, and they’ve determined that up to 50 female celebrities were targeted.
However, before that news broke, The Superficial circulated an e-mail the site had received, claiming that Nikolas was the one leaking the photos. The anonymous tipster claimed that the photos came from a Flickr account run by Nikolas and Kayslee Collins (the blonde in the photo), an actress who had appeared as an extra on Zoey 101 and iCarly. The story might as well be one of our Crushable Fan Fictions for all the truth there is to it; even so, it’s buffeted by the universal notions of teenage insecurity and girl-on-girl bullying. More »

Vanessa Hudgens Has Another Nude Photo Scandal, This Time with a Friend
Former Disney starlet Vanessa Hudgens seems to be taking on more mature roles with the upcoming Sucker Punch (out March 25), but it looks like the 22-year-old actress is back to acting out off-camera as well. You’ll remember that in 2007 and 2009, batches of nude photos featuring Baby V (underage when she took them) circulated on the Internet. Well, now MediaTakeOut has released new photos of Hudgens — again naked and vamping for the camera, but this time also making out with another young actress.
Rumor has it that Hudgen’s partner in crime is 18-year-old Alexa Nikolas, who played Jamie Lynn Spears‘ sweet friend Nicole in the first two seasons of the Nickelodeon show Zoey 101. She’s also appearing in the movie LOL with Miley Cyrus, who is no stranger to controversy caught on camera. More »
‘Beastly’ and ‘Red Riding Hood’ Walk the Line Between Sticking to Original Fairy Tale and Providing New Take
“To adapt or not to adapt?” This question is less relevant now that many of Hollywood’s latest film offerings seem to build in some way on stories we already know. Now the dilemma for writers is, do they stick to the recognizable details, or strike out in an entirely new direction?
Two new releases have retooled beloved fairy tales for the teen set: Beastly, which came out last week, and Red Riding Hood, which hit theaters today. Both initially aim for darker takes on the stories, with mature protagonists, yet before the movie is over each has fallen back on details from the classic versions. More »
Gallery: Celebrities Dressed as Beloved Disney Characters
There’s something, dare I say, magical about the Disney Dream Portrait series, where photographer Annie Leibovitz reimagines well-known celebrities as memorable characters from our favorite animated movies. Disney has just released three new images, featuring Olivia Wilde, Penélope Cruz, and others. I’ve also included as many as I could find from the original series (released in 2008), in case you didn’t get to see them the first time around. More »
“Monster” Guys Are the New “Pretty Ugly Girls”
This weekend I went to see Beastly in theaters because my boyfriend was covering it for his job and needed the moral support. Considering that the movie has been delayed for months, I’ve had a lot of time to consider the filmmakers’ questionable choice of using tattoos and scars to make Alex Pettyfer‘s character “ugly.” As you can see from the photo, poor Kyle Kingston is cursed by a witch (Mary-Kate Olsen) to be utterly revolting to all eyes. He’ll be stuck in this form if, after a year, he has found no woman who can say, “I love you.” Except, he looks more like the hot biker guy your parents warned you against and who you totally want to go after. Vanessa Hudgens certainly doesn’t look repulsed here. More »

Crushable Quotable: Vanessa Hudgens Got Hit On By Michael Caine
Now that she’s no longer with Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens is a free agent. And that means being a little flirty, even if it’s with men old enough to be her grandpa. But let’s be honest, we wouldn’t kick Michael Caine out of bed in the morning either. More »
