Video: Gerard Depardieu Explains Himself On Anderson Cooper’s New Talk Show
If you’re reading this site right now, you’ve probably already seen Anderson Cooper totally losing his shit over jokes about French actor Gerard Depardieu‘s little airplane urination incident. Now, he has taken it upon himself to speak to Depardieu directly on his new daytime talk show Anderson, and the results are predictably hilarious. More »

Video: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Jennifer Lawrence’s X-Men Makeup
There is one thing I remember vividly from the early days of X-Men movies. It was a sound byte from John Stamos, who was at the time married to Rebecca Romijn, and it was with regard to Rebecca’s crazy blue Mystique makeup. I’m paraphrasing a bit here– it’s been years since I read that article and I’m not even entirely sure where I found it anymore– but the quote went a little something like this: “You have NO IDEA the places where I keep finding blue makeup on her after she comes home from work.” That quote alone was enough to make me never want to play a character in any kind of film, television, or theatrical pursuit that required heavy makeup or prosthetics EVER IN MY LIFE. Funny, then, that ten years later, another sound byte involving a totally different actress, but still involving the same character would drive that point home as if it had never been made before. Want to see what Jennifer Lawrence had to go through in the makeup chair in order to become Mystique in this summer’s X-Men: First Class? Check this out: More »
Alec Baldwin Is Not Running For Mayor Of NYC…Yet
Alec Baldwin, of the can-do-anything Baldwins, seems like a shoo-in for mayor of New York. After all, he’s got everything required of a New York mayor: he’s rich and famous, he heads a multinational corporation, and he’s already an iconic part of the New York City zeitgeist. Yes, I am conflating him with Jack Donaghy. What of it? He might even be able to trick some Republicans into voting for him because they can’t tell the difference between reality and TV, either.

Video: Rescue Cats Make Jail 100% More Adorable
Well, this is just heartwarming. Inmates at a Nebraska jail who volunteered at a local animal shelter were recently given the chance to adopt two cats from the shelter, making jail suck just a little bit less for them. “I wondered how those would work out in the jail as far as helping the guys pass time,” said Jerome Kramer, the sheriff who had the idea, “and just feel a little more at ease.” Wow, that’s way nicer than I expected a sheriff in Nebraska to be to inmates. “…And possibly less destructive to our new facility.” Aaaah, I see.

Video: Charlie Sheen Catches A Faygo In Mid Air At The Gathering Of The Juggalos
Charlie Sheen is basically a walking meme at the point. A strange amalgamation of libidinous urges, Web MD diagnoses, and hilarious turns of phrase, he barely registers as a human being anymore in most people’s eyes. Which is why I knew he’d fit right in at the Gathering of the Juggalos: as endlessly maligned figures in pop culture go, they’re a match made in Internet hell. More »
Video: 2Cellos Cover ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit,’ Prove Cello Can Be Badass
The same Croatian cello duo that brought you that amazing cover of “Smooth Criminal” is back, and this time they’re tackling Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” “Smells Like Teen Spirit?” you say. “I’ve heard that song so many times I’m not even sure I like it anymore. Nirvana had other songs, you know.” I thought the same thing. But trust me. It’s good. More »
Video: Marvel’s ‘Consultant’ is Probably Iron Man
About a month ago, it came out that Marvel Comics was tossing around the idea of producing a series of short films centered around a handful of its less-familiar characters. And hey, guess what? They’ve already made a couple of them! It turns out that these one-shots are less about spotlighting obscure characters and more about filling in some of the gaps of the upcoming epic The Avengers. The two shorts that have already been shot featured S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phil Coulson (Gregg Clark), who you may recall popping up occasionally in other recent Marvel films like Iron Man (he’s the guy who attempts to debrief Tony Stark on Stark’s escape from Afghanistan) and Thor (here, he commandeers Thor’s hammer and then helps himself to Jane Foster’s research). Here’s a clip from the first one, which will appear in full on the DVD/Blu-ray release of Thor in September: More »

Video: Jason Bateman Charms On ‘The Daily Show’, Admits ‘The Change-Up’ Is Crap
Everyone’s favorite party animal Jason Bateman went on The Daily Show last night, ostensibly to promote his new movie The Change-Up. He was as funny and charming as ever, and his banter with John Stewart was just adorable. But when it came time to discuss the movie, he cut right to the chase and said this: More »

Video: ‘Born This Way’ in the Key of Magneto
Shortly after the release of X-Men: First Class, YouTube user TheWarpZone wrote an absolutely hilarious X-Men themed parody of Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way.” He also issued a challenge: If the video of him just playing the song on an acoustic guitar in his room got enough views, he’d make a full video for the song. Lo and behold, he has apparently received sufficient viewing figures, because earlier in the week, this glorious piece of work emerged. I don’t know about you guys, but there’s something about a supremely awkward Magneto holding an electric guitar (did you notice that it floated up to him via his amazing magnetic powers?) and surrounded by dancing girls that really does it for me. There’s a lot of in-jokes for fans here, too; a variety of X-Men make appearances, and it’s kind of fun to play Spot-the-Mutant. I found Juggernaut, Gambit, Jubilee, Wolverine, Banshee, Cyclops, Emma Frost, Pyro, Professor X, Mystique, and Jean Grey; did you catch anyone I missed, readers? More »
Tony Awards: Behind-the-Scenes Sneak Peek Video!
Guess what? It’s Tony Awards Night, so break out the song-and-dance! Crushable Associate Editor Natalie Zutter and I will be covering the event for you all tonight; the telecast airs on CBS at 8pm. In the meantime, though, let’s start getting psyched up for it, shall we? Earlier this week, host Neil Patrick Harris gave CBS Early Show co-anchor Chris Wragge a backstage preview of the show, and guess what again? You can watch it on video here! I’m not entirely sure why Wragge seems so obsessed with the fact that this year’s venue, the Beacon Theatre, is a more “intimate” space than the show’s usual venue of Radio City Music Hall (count how many times he says it. I dare you. I DOUBLE dare you), but if this video is anything to go by, there’s going to be some fun stuff to look forward to this year. Now’s your time to get a sneak peek at a few moments in rehearsal, including a bit from the all-star production of Company (featuring NPH, Stephen Colbert, Jon Cryer, Christina Hendricks… the list goes on), a tidbit from Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, and a quick look at Best Musical and Best Revival of a Musical nominees Catch Me If You Can, Sister Act, How to Succeed, and The Book of Mormon.

Video: A Zombie Musical Love Story
While we’re on the subjects of both zombies and musicals: Has it ever occurred to you that maybe the undead deserve a musical of their very own? If it hasn’t, it should; but in any event, it occurred to SOMEBODY, and the result of that piece of epic wondering is this: Rigamortis: A Zombie Love Story. And it’s AWESOME. More »
Video: Darth Vader Goes to Disneyland
Although Star Tours: The Adventure Continues opened in Disney World on May 20, Californians had to wait an additional two weeks before enjoying its Disneyland counterpart. But today, on this day of days, Disneyland’s spiffed-up Star Tours opened to much fanfare, and who else should be the one to knock down the “Opening Soon” sign but the mighty Sith Lord himself? He does, however, take a spin on the Teacups first. Classic. More »
