"Case" stars improv comedian Alexandra Wentworth as Dr. Elizabeth Goode, a narcissistic $450-an-hour therapist whose own issues trump her famous clients she treats in Beverly Hills. Unscripted and improvised episodes feature Goode (and her office-mate Dr. Myron Finklstein, played by Steve Landesberg) violating every ethical Doctor-patient rule. Goode entertains her "patients" Macy Gray, Jerry Seinfeld, Janeane Garofalo, James Denton, Paulina Porizkova, Kevin Nealon, designer Isaac Mizrahi and magician Lance Burton this season. On this week's "Head Case," Kevin Nealon realizes he might need to see a real doctor, not a

Directed by: Mark Waters
Cast: Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner, Michael Douglas
Running Time: 1 hr 40 mins
Rating: PG-13
Release Date: May 1, 2009
Plot: A successful photographer (McConaughey) who scrooges women for a hobby is visited by three … Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.
Who’s It For? The dating crowd - particularly those who share the on-screen ages of Garner and McConaughey. Of course, this really just means anyone not seeing X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Expectations: The Matthew McConaughey + romantic comedy formula was recently cracked by a popular humor blog that offered some frighteningly plausible ideas. Considering McConaughey’s track record, it was expected for him to play some slimy and smiley womanizer who gets “put in his place” by a female (Garner) aware of his smooth-talking … but not idiotic enough to fully lose against it.
Scorecard (0-10)
Actors:
Matthew McConaughey as Connor Mead: To this character, being a man requires using women.

Justin Timberlake says John Mayer is the love child of Macy Gray and a bear. Justin was about to launch into an impression of the "Gravity" singer when he likened John's vocal talents to a cross between Macy and a growling bear.
Appearing on the premiere of talk show "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," Justin - who is good friends with John - said: "I imitate stars because I love them. How would I describe John Mayer? He sounds like if Macy Gray and Smokey Robinson, or actually, Smokey the Bear had a love child."
He then launched into a rendition of John's hit "Daughter" with a live band, while the audience whooped and cheered. Justin went on to joke about John's singing style, claiming the key to doing a good impression of the "Gravity" singer was practicing your "solo face."
He explained: "He has the most amazing solo face.

Justin Timberlake did Jimmy Fallon a favor by revamping the talk host's debut on "Late Night Show". The pop singer made an impression of John Mayer and Michael McDonald while singing, inviting laughters from the audience. He hit it out on Mayer's "Daughters" with raspy kind of voice.
"John Mayer is like if Macy Gray and Smokey Robinson... Actually, Macy Gray and Smokey the Bear, had a love child," Timberlake joked before the taking on the impersonation. He explains that he uses a technique, saying "Literally his tongue takes over."
Also supporting Fallon on Monday, March 1 night were Robert De Niro and Van Morrison. Fallon replaces Connan O'Brien who left the show to take over "Tonight Show" from Jay Leno in June. The debut absorbed mixed reviews but drew the show its best ratings in 3 years.

If imitation isn't the most sincere form of flattery, John Mayer better watch his back. The singer was the subject of a killer (albeit slightly mocking) impersonation by his pal Justin Timberlake on Monday's premiere of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. "John Mayer is like if Macy Gray and Smokey Robinson," Timberlake started, before switching gears, "Actually, Macy Gray and Smokey the Bear, had a love child." Riffing on Mayer's hit "Daughters," Timberlake – who most recently scored big laughs with his SNL spoof of Beyoncé's "Single Ladies" video – then explained the technique behind impersonating Mayer's "solo face" saying, "Literally his tongue takes over.
