Want to know what Anthony Bourdain thinks about all the Oscar nominees? In particular, do you want to know what he thinks about Midnight In Paris? Want to guess what he thinks about it first? Ok take a sec and guess. Do you think he probably liked it a lot? -NYTimes
Here is a lovely article on Ryan Gosling’s workout routine. (Yes, ladies, he does work out!) -HuffingtonPost
Did you guys hear about how Roseanne is running for president? IT’S TRUE! I think! With the Green party. Too bad you already dedicated your vote to Newt Gingrich, right? -Dlisted
Especially considering all these RED HOT CELEBS who have already pledged their own votes to Roseanne! Aww, dangit! Finally your chance to vote with the stars, and now it’s ruined. -Mediaite
Have you always wondered if big cats purr? Get your mind out of the gutters. Is anyone’s mind in the gutter? JUST MINE? Ok, but have you ever wondered that? If so, you can watch this video! It kind of gives you an answer! -TheDailyWhat
FilmDrunk has an important question to ask and that is, Can a cheap gimmick ruin a good story? And my answer is, What do you mean? Like if a novel is an epistolary novel? No? That’s not what you’re talking about? ANSWER ME, FILMDRUNK. -FilmDrunk
Willow Smith shaved her head, guys! Whaaaaaaat! -Blemish
Chris Rock wants to do a movie in which he’s married to Melissa McCarthy. I think he wants to call it, Why Did I Get Married 3 Oh Yeah Because Melissa McCarthy Is Famous All Of A Sudden And I’d Like To Do A Movie With Her Before She’s Not Famous Anymore. Sounds good, though! -AVClub

Ricky Gervais Will Live-Blog The Golden Globes, Make A Fun Idea Sound Unbearable

Kelly — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 18:00:23 +0000

I feel like there was a time, not too long ago, when Ricky Gervais was generally regarded as a great comedic talent who helped to usher in a New Era of better and smarter and more uncomfortable comedy, and everybody liked him and he was very good and nobody really questioned it that much. But then I guess he read God Is Not Great, and now everything he says is unbearable? What happened? Give me back my Ricky Gervais! “And give me back my Atheist Comedian title!” – David Cross. What’s even more unfortunate is that it looks like his new unbearable persona has leaked, from things that would be unbearable by themselves into things that would otherwise be fun and exciting. From Ricky Gervais’ blog:

I’ve had one of my big ideas. A live 3 hour podcast during The Golden Globes. Me and a few chums (like Louis CK, Chris Rock, Karl Pilkington, John Stewart, Larry David popping in and out) doing our own alternative commentary.

People at home can have the telly on with the sound down listening to us online say things that no broadcaster could get away with.

No one could do a fucking thing.

The biggest live webcast ever? Who knows? Who cares? What’s fun is the shit we might come out with. No money. No sponsor. No guide lines. Fuck me I can’t wait.

OH MY GOODNESS. First of all, does Ricky Gervais believe he’s the first comedian to have ever decided to do a “tell it like it is” Golden Globes live-blog? Every single person, let alone COMEDIAN, all over the world live-blogs basically every single TV “event,” and it’s never for money and it’s never censored and there are never any guide lines and no one ever can do a fucking thing about it, unfortunately.

Adam Sandler’s Life Is Entourage

Gabe — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 18:00:29 +0000

Adam Sandler bought his fellow Grown Ups cast members Maseratis as a thank you gift and all Turtle got was a bag of weed and a prostitute and this t-shirt that says all that on it.

The Videogum “Tracy Morgan Promise”: Tracy & Chris Rock Sing “Scarborough Fair”

Gabe — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 19:15:40 +0000

On last night’s anti-Autism Comedy Central telethon, Night of Too Many Stars, Tracy Morgan and Chris Rock did their best rendition of Simon & Garfunkel’s “Scarborough Fair.” Turns out “their best” is “not very good.” LOL.

The Best Thing About The Movie Grown Ups…

Gabe — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 19:00:30 +0000

…is this press junket interview in which Salma Hayek freaks THE F out about a snake. Easily. Hands down. Sight unseen.

The Videogum “Tracy Morgan Promise”: Chris Rock And Tracy Morgan Interview Each Other

Big day in Tracy Morgan Promises. In any case, in this interview, Chris Rock and Tracy Morgan eliminate the middleman. Bye, middleman! R.I.P.!

I Don’t Kow Which Of These Two Terrible Trailers Is Worse!

Gabe — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:55:41 +0000

There are two new movie trailers that have popped up over the past couple of weeks and I’m having a really hard time deciding which of them is worse. On the one hand, you have the trailer for Grown Ups, which is basically Old Dogs 2: Dry Cold American Summer. Isn’t it great watching Rob Schneider, David Spade, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, and Kevin James (wait, where did he come from?) back together on the same screen now that they are all millionaires? Neatttttt! Look out for that tree, you lazy millionaire! But then on the other hand, there is the trailer for Jackie Chan’s The Spy Next Door, which is basically The Tuxedo meets Mrs. Doubtfire? Can two terrible movies make the worst movie? Apparently!

Both trailers after the jump. Bet you can’t pick just one! To be the worst of the two! Because of how bad both of them are! It is our generation’s Sophie’s Choice!

Get Your Good Hair Did

Gabe — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 11:33:39 +0000

Chris Rock made a documentary about African American hair culture called Good Hair. It premiered at Sundance and it looks interesting and funny. Like Barbershop but without all the being so dumb. And with no chance of a painful Queen Latifah spin-off franchise.

Chris Rock Takes Larry King To The Thinking Man’s School

You know how stupid people love trampoline accident videos? They find them capitvating and hilarious, which is why even the lamest trampoline accident videos always have millions of views? This 17 minute long clip of Chris Rock on Larry King Live (via Radar) is the thinking man’s trampoline accident video. Captivating and hilarious. You’ll probably receive it from your the thinking man’s mom in a the thinking man’s email forward any minute.

You’re the thinking man’s welcome.
