Disney Understands Viral Marketing, Releases ‘Blooper Reel’ for The Lion King 3-D

Disney Understands Viral Marketing, Releases 'Blooper Reel' for The Lion King 3-D

Did you even know that there was a 3-D version of Lion King being re-released in theaters? Neither did we until very recently, but suffice to say it’s a head-scratcher. Why the need to mess with a childhood favorite, and will people even shell out the money to see it? We may never know, but we will definitely watch this blooper reel that Disney put out to drum up interest in the movie. In the video, Simba, Scar, and Mufasa screw up their lines and miss cues, just like live actors.

But it did make us ask one big question: Which came first, the flubbed lines or the animation? More »

Deciphering the ‘Ghost’ Musical Trailer As Someone Who’s Never Seen ‘Ghost’

Deciphering the 'Ghost' Musical Trailer As Someone Who's Never Seen 'Ghost'

Obviously I know what Ghost is about: Patrick Swayze gets killed in a mugging, but his spirit continues to linger around mourning girlfriend Demi Moore, who hires a medium played by Whoopi Goldberg to try and communicate with him. But I know nothing about the characters’ lives — aside from Moore’s predilection for pottery — or how the movie ends.

London’s Piccadilly Theatre is premiering Ghost The Musical, which looks to be a bit flashier than the 1990 movie. Going only by the newly-released trailer, and without peeking at Wikipedia, here are my predictions for the plot. More »

Video Gallery: Neil Patrick Harris and Other Awesome Hosts of the Tony Awards

Video Gallery: Neil Patrick Harris and Other Awesome Hosts of the Tony Awards

Hey everyone, remember that rumor floating around that Neil Patrick Harris was going to host this year’s Tony Awards? Well, it’s not a rumor anymore! On Tuesday, it was announced that Harris will, in fact, emcee the 2011 ceremony. In the press release, Harris notes that he’s both “honored” and “stoked” to have been asked to host. “It should be a great show,” he says. “We’ve got a fantastic mix of live performances, a few secret surprises, and since they’re closed for retooling, we’re using all the rigging equipment from Spider-Man. What could possibly go wrong?” Ceremony producers Ricky Kirshner and Glenn Weiss go on to say that they’re thrilled to have him, and that they’re “even happier he fits in the Spider-Man rigging.” More »

‘Wax Whoopi Goldberg, Reposed’

'Wax Whoopi Goldberg, Reposed'

We know that this wax figure of Whoopi Goldberg on display at Madame Tussaud’s is to commemorate the West End’s production of Sister Act, but it’s much funnier to think about it as some weird senior’s art thesis project. “The statement I was trying to make with this piece is that America’s morality is now filtered through mediums such as The View and the 24-hour news-cycle. Whoopi as a nun represents the merging of television and religion. Also, screw you dad, this wasn’t a waste of an education.” More »

Star Shrinking: Oksana's Teeth Are Busted, Thanks To Mel's Self-Loathing

You’ve heard the awful tapes (“You went to sleep! I deserve to be blown first!”) and read about the violence. But have you seen Radar’s photo exclusive of Oksana Grigorieva with missing front teeth (after allegedly getting punched in the face by Mel Gibson)? It’s deeply disturbing, viral as hell and will sink the actor’s career even further down the toilet. In short, Mel is toast. No amount of defense from Whoopi Goldberg or Jodie Foster can save him now…. More »

Between The Lines: Whoopi Goldberg's Support Of Mel Gibson Is Hot On Google, Even Better For 'The View'

We can all feign shock and disapproval of Whoopi Goldberg’s comments made in support of Mel Gibson in light of accusations that he beat his girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, but we all know that scandal sells. Whoopi is selling her show, The View. And creating controversy in any way — from starting a feud with Donald Trump to supporting the most hated celebrity this week — will drive The View to the forefront of media coverage for the current news cycle….

On this morning’s View, Elisabeth Hasselbeck announced that she is pregnant with number 3. If you’re thinking that she just popped out a baby, you’d be right – her youngest just turned one last week. Apparently she was pregnant without realizing it for TWO MONTHS, which, uh, I don’t know how that happens, quite honestly. Anyway, congratulations to the happy couple and all that – three kids under the age of 5 is going to be… More »
