Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parsons Comes Out … Or Has Been Out Forever

23 May 2012 3:14 PM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »

In the 33rd paragraph of a New York Times theater profile of Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons, this little sentence appears: “The Normal Heart resonated with him on a few levels: Mr. Parsons is gay and in a 10-year relationship, and working with an ensemble again onstage was like nourishment, he said.” It’s stated as a simple fact, nestled among observations of how the actor is playing a part made famous by Jimmy Stewart in the Broadway revival of Harvey. But this afternoon, Us Weekly picked up on that little sentence and brought it to everyone’s attention. And sure enough, within an hour, everyone was blogging, “Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory is gay!”

Now, we’re not really obsessed with the personal lives of the stars of the CBS sitcom (though I did once see Johnny Galecki’s penis … in a play!), but all it took »

Luke Wilson Accepts The Invitation

14 May 2012 12:19 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

Just a couple of weeks ago, Luke Wilson was Meeting Evil in the form of Samuel L Jackson. Now he's set to meet it again, having accepted The Invitation, a thriller to be directed by Karyn Kusama (Jennifer's Body).Wilson will be playing a character called Will, and the evil in question this time is Will's ex-wife. The horror! The pair have apparently been estranged for some time when Will accepts the titular invitation to a dinner party his ex is throwing. As the evening progresses, he comes to believe that "something insidious" has possessed his wife, and that her new friends have some kind of dastardly mischief in mind.Alien replacement a la Invasion Of The Body Snatchers? Satanic cult, along the lines of Rosemary's Baby? Murder club, like The Last Supper? That would be telling. We do know, however, that Zachary Quinto, Topher Grace and Johnny Galecki are co-starring. »

What Is ‘The Invitation’ Setting Luke Wilson, Zachary Quinto, and Topher Grace Up For?

11 May 2012 3:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

It looks like Jennifer’s Body director Karyn Kusama isn’t quite done journeying into human darkness with an “insidious” edge, as Deadline Brooklyn reports that the filmmaker is set to start shooting her next film this summer – one that appears to come with a possibly inhuman and definitely weird bite to it. The film is tantalizingly titled The Invitation, and will star Luke Wilson as a man who is “invited to his estranged ex-wife’s dinner party. Over the course of the evening, he’s gripped by mounting evidence that something insidious has taken hold of his ex, and that she and her new friends have a mysterious and horrifying agenda.” The script has been penned by Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi, who previously wrote Kusama’s take on Aeon Flux, and who have also penned such varied projects as R.I.P.D., Clash of the Titans, and Crazy/Beautiful to their names.

Luke Wilson, Topher Grace, and Zachary Quinto Take ‘Invitation’ from Karyn Kusama

11 May 2012 2:21 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »

Karyn Kusama‘s post-Girlfight career certainly hasn’t lived up to that inaugural outing, but the director — last seen in 2009 with Jennifer’s Body — has a couple of good options on her plate right now. Although she was recently stockpiling leads for The Rut, Deadline reports she’s starting to veer toward another project — and it’s assembling at a quick clip. This new film, entitled The Invitation, is a horror piece that, per Deadline’s word, will star Luke Wilson, Topher Grace, Zachary Quinto, and Johnny Galecki (The Big Bang Theory); Xyz Films are producing for Celluloid Nightmare, who are selling the international rights at Cannes.

Written by Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi (Kusama‘s Æon Flux, Clash of the Titans), The Invitation revolves around a man (Wilson) who suspects something is not only “off” about the occupants of his ex-wife’s dinner party, but that some kind »

Luke Wilson, Zachary Quinto & Topher Grace Get An 'Invitation' From 'Girlfight' Director Karyn Kusama

11 May 2012 11:51 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Luke Wilson, Zachary Quinto, Topher Grace, Johnny Galecki and Karyn Kusama...one of these people doesn't quite seem to belong (guess who?) but they are all banding together to make "Invitation."

The former Wes Anderson regular who needs a serious career makeover, the "Star Trek" star and producer behind the awards season sleeper hit "Margin Call," the guy who re-edited the "Star Wars" prequels, the star of "The Big Bang Theory" and the director of "Jennifer's Body" will team on the story about a man (Wilson) who is invited to a dinner party for his ex-wife (first warning sign), and over the course of the evening becomes convinced by the behavior of the guests that something insidious has taken hold of his former flame and everyone there has a terrifying, secret agenda. So yeah, just get ready to send this straight to VOD....

'The Big Bang Theory' finale: Who will walk down the aisle next?

10 May 2012 6:30 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

Despite all the obstacles in their way, Howard (Simon Helberg) and Bernadette (Melissa Rauch) got hitched on Thursday (May 10). "The Big Bang Theory" wedding was an intimate affair with some very nice touches, especially the group officiation and the satellite photography.

While one couple has wed, there's still potential for a lot more love on the show. Although Leonard's (Johnny Galecki) heat-of-the-moment proposal to Penny (Kaley Cuoco) didn't land quite like he'd hoped, it's clear that those two aren't done yet. And then, in a show of emotion atypical for Sheldon (Jim Parsons), he held hands (gasp!) with Amy (Mayim Bialik) as they watched Howard get blasted into space.

So this got us thinking, which nerd couple might be the next to get hitched? Could Penny and Leonard really make it together? Perhaps Sheldon will realize he has feelings after all, and Amy might be the one for him? Or »

'The Big Bang Theory': Three is the magic number

3 May 2012 10:43 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

With the wedding of the century (or at least the week) just around the corner, things were bound to go a little haywire on "The Big Bang Theory." And sure enough, complications began to emerge on Thursday (May 3).

[Spoiler Alert]

Everything actually started off just fine for Howard (Simon Helberg). The nervous flyer got some good news when he learns that his trip to space has (at least momentarily) been canceled. But the problem kicks back in when Nasa calls to reschedule his flight for the same weekend he's to marry Bernadette (Melissa Rauch). While she's ok with changing the wedding date, Howard then needs to secure the approval of her father. And that offers some unexpected results.

For those rooting for Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Penny (Kaley Cuoco), there's some good news and some bad news. The good news is Leonard asks Penny to marry him. The bad news is he asks her during sex. »
