The Hard Sell: Renault
22 hours ago | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
'Most 24-year-olds have more chance of buying a talking unicorn than finding a mortgage provider"
Meet Let's Just Call Him Simon, the face of Renault's new four-year warranty and the human embodiment of "life's ups and downs". In 40 seconds we watch him graduating (up), looking for a job (down), getting a job (just unlikely). There he is with the lads (up) visiting somewhere that looks like Costa Del Eastbourne (down). There's a woman! She's a hotter Zooey Deschanel, and far too good for him (it's an up – in his trousers). They hold hands, go to the shops, dry hump. While most 24-year-olds have more chance of buying a talking unicorn than finding a mortgage provider, we watch them buying the kind of place our parents had to bravely soldier through the 70s to afford. Next their roof leaks (down) so they decide to get married (up). Simon's wife-to-be looks miserable »

Buzz Time Machine: Matthew Morrison and Zooey Deschanel in Once Upon a Mattress
23 hours ago | BuzzSugar | See recent BuzzSugar news »
Seven years ago, before their starring roles on hit Fox series, in a land far, far away, Matthew Morrison and Zooey Deschanel were just two star-crossed lovers in Once Upon a Mattress. Disney's TV movie production may not have been what catapulted the two to fame toward Glee and New Girl, but we sure are glad this exists in the universe. I'm wondering if this song, "In a Little While," was on Morrison's audition tape for the part of Mr. Schuester. »

John Malkovich talks to Siri in new iPhone ads
24 May 2012 1:55 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Confession: I can’t stand the new batch of iPhone advertisements. Apple spent the better part of a decade dropping zeitgeist-grenade TV commercials. But when it came time to show off audio helpmate Siri, the marketing team decided to fall back on random celebrity pitchmen. The result was Zooey Deschanel and Samuel L. Jackson meandering around identical Ikea households. (Absent from these advertisements: The celebrities’ assistants, a.k.a. “Siri With Limbs.”) I have to admit, though, that I’m a bit tickled by a new pair of advertisements featuring adorable cult weirdo John Malkovich, who speaks to Siri as »

'Scott Pilgrim' Star Mary Elizabeth Winstead Working On An Album With Dan The Automator, Plus Hear Michael Shannon's Band
23 May 2012 12:50 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
The history of movie stars becoming rock stars is just as unfortunate as the history of rock stars becoming movie stars, as anyone who's heard Bruce Willis' blues-rock or Steven Seagal's country record can attest to. But just as Justin Timberlake has become one of the rare figures to bridge the divide from the recording world, stars Scarlett Johansson and Zooey Deschanel have found some success collaborating with established artists like Dave Sitek and M. Ward in recent years. And it looks like one more actress is hoping to follow in their footsteps, in the shape of "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" star Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
Winstead's already been having a pretty good few months; she's soon to star in "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter," and she won enormous acclaim for her leading role in Sundance indie "Smashed," which Sony Pictures Classics will release in the hopes of an »

From Waiting Tables To Wardrobing Hollywood Stars: 'I Knew I Wanted More'
23 May 2012 5:27 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
One of the reasons I started my website, is that I wanted a place for women to come together and dream. Women should know that they don't have to hang on to an old dream that has stopped nurturing them -- that there is always time to start a new dream. This week's story is about a waitress who believed in her dream, took a leap of faith and found her place in Hollywood. -– Marlo, MarloThomas.com
By Lori Weiss
From the age of 15, Renee Claire was waiting tables to earn extra cash. At the time, it was a way to make ends meet and pay for college. But as she made her way from Amherstburg, Ontario to Los Angeles, those serving skills came in handy. Waitressing at celebrity hot spots allowed Renee to work evenings and bring in great tips, while she explored the endless possibilities Los Angeles had to offer. »

'The Simpsons': Exclusive details on the next big-screen adventure (it's short, silent, and in 3-D)!
22 May 2012 1:23 PM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
Simpsons fans who have been awaiting the show’s return to the big screen, you may now let out a short, silent “Woo Hoo!”: A four-and-a-half-minute dialogue-free film, titled The Longest Daycare, will be shown before Ice Age: Continental Drift when that movie hits theaters on July 13. (There’s a little history between these two Fox franchises: The trailer for 2007′s The Simpsons Movie was stealthily placed before Ice Age: The Meltdown.)
Teased at the end of the season 23 finale on Sunday, the short marks The Simpsons’ first 3-D adventure (not counting the exploits of “3-D Homer »

10 Depressing Takeaways About American Masculinity From Maxim's Top 100 List
22 May 2012 10:27 AM, PDT | Celebsology | See recent Celebsology news »
Maxim—which made my 2003 list of shit that won't exist in a more advanced future—decided to go democratic this year and open up its 100 Most Beautiful Women inventory to its reading viewing public. The move produced a few genuine surprises, though none of them will make you feel especially hopeful about the state of American masculinity. (Who likes white women? Maxim readers like white women.) Here's the top 10 takeaways, from a writer who admittedly didn't recognize about 75% of the entries:
10. Kat Dennings is hotter than #97, but she deserves her low ranking for starring on such a noxious show. 2 Broke Girls will go down as the pop-culture skidmark of our sour economy.
9. There's not a lot of bright side to getting thrown in Italian prison for four years, but Amanda Knox may consider making #92 on the Maxim Top 100 a downpayment on a better consolation prize down the road. Also, Maxim's »

Mike Ryan: Who Had The Best Showing On 'SNL' This Season?
22 May 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
"Saturday Night Live" wrapped up its 37th season this past weekend. Along the way, we were paying attention not just to the quality of the individual sketches in our weekly "SNL" Scorecard, but also to the progress of the cast members in regards to airtime and prominence, which we ranked each week in the Relevancy Poll.
Like last season, we certainly weren't going to let that data go to waste, so, we tallied the results to present to you the complete 2011-12 "SNL" Relevancy Poll.
As you will see, the lower the score, the better. And, again, the rankings represent how often an individual cast member appeared on the show, not an opinion of an individual sketch or character. (In other words: These are not my "favorites," this is a barometer of each cast member's airtime and influence.) Each final score is the average weekly poll ranking of each cast »

New TV Slates Prove Dramas Are So Last Season
22 May 2012 6:14 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
New York -- Broadcast television networks are determined to make you laugh.
The resurgence of situation comedies is the clearest trend to emerge from TV's helter-skelter week of fall schedule announcements that just concluded. ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC will have 30 half-hour comedies on the air at the beginning of next season – 32 by November – compared to 17 at the opening of a new season five years ago.
Tuesday alone is a comic festival. The top networks will air eight sitcoms that night alone, with ABC promising two more in January.
"The audience is really open to comedy right now," said Robert Greenblatt, NBC entertainment chief. The network made comedy its development priority, and is opening Tuesday and Friday to sitcoms next fall. NBC is also keeping four comedies on Thursday night, despite abysmal ratings.
The explanation is as much financial as cultural, and there's a clear starting point.

Loretta Lynn Married Just Shy of 16, Not at 13, as Long Claimed
22 May 2012 4:15 AM, PDT | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
One of country's greatest legends - that Loretta Lynn was married at 13 - has been shot down by a new report that the Coal Miner's Daughter, believed to be 77, is really three years older than she claims to be. Combing through the records at the state Office of Vital Statistics in Frankfort, Ky., and checking the records of relatives', the Associated Press reports that Lynn was born April 14, 1932, in the Bluegrass State's Johnson County and is actually 80. As was memorably told in her bestselling 1976 autobiography Coal Miner's Daughter, which then became a 1980 box-office hit that won a Best Actress Oscar for leading lady Sissy Spacek, »

21 May 2012 7:42 PM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »
The 2012 Billboard Music Awards brought plenty of famous faces to the MGM Grand in Las Vegas Sunday. Lmfao, who won six awards, opened the show before hosts Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell took the stage. A variety of artists including The Wanted and Kelly Clarkson, introduced by Robin Thicke, had their turn in the spotlight. Carrie Underwood, who brought husband Mike Fisher, performed "Blown Away" in a glamorous red dress, while Natasha Bedingfield sang a tribute to the late Donna Summer. Katy Perry rocked the crowd with the debut of her new single, "Wide Awake," and Usher brought "Scream" to the stage. Justin Bieber took the microphone as well with "Boyfriend."

2012 Billboard Music Awards: Highlights and Winners
21 May 2012 9:54 AM, PDT | PopStar | See recent PopStar news »
The 2012 Billboard Music Awards (TV) were held on Sunday night, as music's biggest stars gathered at The MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas to celebrate the year's chart-topping achievements and pay tribute to some of their own. The show opened with a performance by electro-pop duo Lmfao and was hosted by Modern Family (TV)'s Ty Burrell and Julie Bowen. Adele was the top winner of the evening, scoring a total of 12 awards including Top Female Artist - though you'd never know it by watching the telecast. As is becoming more and more common, the majority of awards are not even handed out during the show in an effort to make room for more live performances. Lmfao ended up winning the second-highest amount of awards with six, and Lil Wayne and Cold Play each earned four. After a moment of silence to honor the passing of Bee Gees' singer Robin Gibb, »

'Saturday Night Live' poll: Who will be the next Kristen Wiig?
21 May 2012 8:42 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
When Amy Poehler left SNL in December of ’08, Kristen Wiig suddenly became the show’s only full-fledged female cast member. And even after Abby Elliott was officially promoted to repertory player in 2010, Wiig still stood out as one of the series’ most visible performers — and its most visible female player by far. With a dynamo like Wiig dominating the stage and taking nearly every female speaking role, it was nigh on impossible for any other woman to make an impression.
Now, though, Wiig is freeing up her Saturday nights — and the sketch show’s four remaining ladies (Elliott, Vanessa Bayer, »

Watch: Goodie Mob Honors McA At The Billboard Music Awards
21 May 2012 7:01 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Goodie Mob took the stage to perform their new song "Fight To Win" at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night.
Although fans were excited to see Cee-Lo Green and Goodie Mob back together, the true star of the set was Jean Sok, a one-legged dancer from Cirque du Soleil's Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour. Dressed as a soldier, Sok gave a truly powerful performance and left a lasting impression on viewers.
Clad in white Adidas tracksuits, the hip-hop foursome (Cee-Lo Green, Khujo, T-Mo, and Big Gipp) then surprised the audience by launching into the Beastie Boys classic, "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party!)," as a tribute to Adam "McA" Yauch, who lost his battle with cancer earlier this month.
In other Billboard Music Awards news, Katy Perry picked up the Spolight Award for matching Michael Jackson's record of five No. 1 singles on the Billboard charts off a single album. »

The Billboard Music Awards Have Their Fair Share Of Worst-Dressed Celebrities
21 May 2012 3:39 AM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »
Where there is a best-dressed, there has to be a worst-dressed. It’s the yin and yang of a red carpet. You’re already aware of the Miley Cyrus tuxedo disaster at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards? She had good bad company at the event, as well. Here’s the thing about Katy Perry‘s flowing lavender Blumarine gown. It would have been great if it had taken it down a notch in the shine department. It looks almost synthetic, and that deep plum lipstick feels wrong with it. Julianne Hough‘s gold sequin Kaufman Franco dress suffered from the same problem. It also looked like an embellished towel wrapped around her body, though we feel a little more makeup may have suited this look.
Sticking to the shimmer department was Julie Bowen‘s Doo.Ri strapless dress. It looked ill-fitting, and that one shining panel down the front didn’t do wonders for her, »

Mike Ryan: 'SNL' Scorecard: Mick Jagger's Fine Farewell To Kristen Wiig
20 May 2012 8:34 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
There was no doubt about it: This was Kristen Wiig's night. Of the three cast members rumored to be leaving "Saturday Night Live," I think we can go ahead and remove the word "rumored" off of Wiig and Samberg, who said his goodbye with "Lazy Sunday 2." Jason Sudeikis, on the other hand ... well, he introduced the Foo Fighters? In other words: There were really no hints throughout a show that he had very little to do with concerning his future (unless you want to read into Jagger mentioning that "many of you are moving on" in the final sketch). So if it was his last show, that's a shame. On to what turned out to be a quite emotional final Scorecard of the season...
Sketch of the Night
"She's a Rainbow" (Mick Jagger, Kristen Wiig, Ensemble) A perfect ten. Honestly, that was the most touching, emotional sendoff that I've ever seen "SNL" pull off. »

20 May 2012 5:30 AM, PDT | BuzzSugar | See recent BuzzSugar news »
Another season of Saturday Night Live has come to a close, with Mick Jagger hosting to help the show go out with a bang. There were so many high-profile actors, musicians, and even athletes who made funny moves on the SNL set this year. Channing Tatum and Zooey Deschanel each hosted for the first time, while former cast members like Jimmy Fallon, Maya Rudolph, and Will Ferrell all made triumphant returns. It's hard to pick just one favorite with so many hysterical hosts. That's where you come in: tell us who your favorite host of SNL was this season in the comments below. Photos courtesy of NBC »

Zooey Deschanel talks wanting to change up her look
19 May 2012 8:06 AM, PDT | Hollywoodnews.com | See recent Hollywoodnews.com news »
HollywoodNews.com: Zooey Deschanel has a very distinct look with her long brown hair paired with bangs, but that doesn’t mean she is always happy with it.
Deschanel recently opened up about wishing she had the freedom right now to change her recognizable look, states UsMagazine.com. “If I could cut my hair today I totally would. I love a Louise Brooks bob!” Deschanel said about the silent film actress.
However, she might not like it in the end as she has previously commented, “Your hair is part of your identity, and I’ve always felt like a brunette with bangs. I’ve grown them [bangs] out before, but I feel more comfortable with them.”
