Stephen Colbert's tribute to his late mom, Lorna: Get ready to cry -- Video
5 hours ago
On tonight’s Colbert Report, Stephen broke character to deliver a heartfelt tribute to his mother, Lorna Tuck Colbert, who passed away last week at 92. He somehow managed to hold back the tears clearly desperate to emerge as he spoke of Lorna’s childhood, sense of fun, and commitment to prayer and family. “I know it may sound greedy to want more days with a person who lived so long,” he said. “But the fact that my mother was 92 does not diminish it; it only magnifies the enormity of the room whose door has now quietly shut.”

'MasterChef': 'Glee' challenge! Plus: Krissi's beastliness vs. Jessie's chopped off fingertip
8 hours ago
In the craziest MasterChef of the season (or two, I guess — Fox is very fond of the double-episode bonanza), two people headed home, Jessie lost a fingertip in a mandolin slicer, and Krissi emerged as a loathsome reality TV super villain for the ages. But first: a hilarious just-shy-of-insulting Sue Sylvester role call!
That’s right — Jane Lynch was on hand in the McKinley High choir room to introduce the team challenge: Cook a 100-person lunch for the cast and crew of Glee. But to make this somewhat oppressive network tie-in worth our while, she got into character. You all »

James Gandolfini's best 'Sopranos' lines: The Tao of Tony
10 hours ago
While James Gandolfini died Wednesday at the far-too-young age of 51, the actor left behind a body of work that belies his only half-century of life. And nothing stands out in that career quite like Gandolfini’s near-decade embodying Tony Soprano on HBO’s The Sopranos.
David Chase’s groundbreaking series about the complicated mob boss was powerful for many reasons, none more so than Gandolfini’s delivery of Chase’s dynamic dialogue. During six seasons and 86 episodes, Gandolfini’s Soprano unspooled a life philosophy through impatient (but ultimately loving) interactions with his family, gruff instructions to his underlings and reluctant therapy sessions with Dr. »

James Franco writes the most ridiculous superhero article ever. We have some concerns.
13 hours ago
Dear James Franco,
Congratulations! You’re kind of having a moment right now. Your hilarious turn as “yourself” – an art-obsessed serious actor who may or may not be gay – in This Is The End is a recent high point for you that is charming audiences and critics alike. This is a great break because, despite being an Oscar-nominated dramatic actor, people tend to kind of roll their eyes at you and your various projects, books, and college courses. (Not me! But some people.) I figured you could ride this out and parlay it into a few more great, interesting films »

Official 'Star Wars: Episode VII' character breakdowns released: Commence theorizing!
14 hours ago
In the single biggest piece of Star Wars sequel news since five minutes ago, a list of character breakdowns for Star Wars: Episode VII has been sent out to agents, with extremely vague-but-nevertheless-intriguing indications about seven key members of the cast. The list was initially uncovered by Bleeding Cool, and Lucasfilm has confirmed its veracity to EW. Which means that now is the time for the citizens of the internet to conceive Baseless Theories about the direction of the J.J. Abrams-directed, Michael Arndt-scripted sevenquel. Hooray for Baseless Theories! Let’s take a look, shall we?

Is Brad Pitt taking promotional lessons from Justin Timberlake?
16 hours ago
Make a note: Summer 2013 was the time the biggest actors of the ’90s took a cue from the younger kiddos and started really promoting their summer films in a new way.
Call it part of the Timberlake effect. Justin Timberlake pulled out all the stops promoting his album The 20/20 Experience in March, memorably hosting Saturday Night Live, co-hosting a week of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, heck, he even had a Target-sponsored release party that aired on The CW. Some people rolled their eyes, but the 24/7 attack paid off: The album opened at No. 1, moving 968,000 copies its first week.

'Anchorman 2' trailer: It's kind of a big deal. Let's do a deep dive!
16 hours ago
Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues isn’t the sort of film that normally demands the deep dive treatment. Careful frame-by-frame analyses are generally reserved for big-name adaptations, franchise-extending summer blockbusters, and comic book-based extravaganzas — you know, action movies with rich mythologies and lots of things that go “boom.”
But even if this clip is devoid of space ships, costumed heroes, and fights to the death, it’s chock-full of intriguing new characters, tantalizing plot tidbits, and righteous mustaches — making it the perfect candidate for some good, old-fashioned obsessive scrutiny.
That said, let’s go see if we can make this kitty purr! »

Ed Harris returning to New York stage
17 hours ago
Ed Harris will return to the stage this fall alongside Bill Pullman with the play The Jacksonian, directed by Tony-winner Robert Falls, The New Group company announced Wednesday.
The show takes places in Jackson, Mississippi, in 1964. “When his wife kicks him out, respectable dentist Bill Perch (Ed Harris) moves into the seedy Jacksonian Motel. There, his downward spiral is punctuated by encounters with his teenage daughter, a gold-digging motel employee (Glenne Headly), a treacherous bartender (Bill Pullman), and his now estranged wife (Amy Madigan). Set against the investigation of a recent lynching and climaxing in a crime of passion, The Jacksonian, »

George Lucas has not spoken to J.J. Abrams about the next 'Star Wars'
18 hours ago
When George Lucas handed over the deed for the Star Wars galaxy to Disney, he retained a role as a “creative consultant” on any future iterations of Star Wars-y stuff, including the sequel trilogy currently being prepped. Fans have long debated the meaning of that “creative consultancy,” because the internet was specifically created for fans to analyze every bit of Star Wars news.
However, in a new interview with Access Hollywood — recorded after his win at the Daytime Emmys for the now-canceled Clone Wars series — George Lucas indicates that the extent of his “consulting” is enjoying a well-earned retirement. »

'Franklin & Bash' star Breckin Meyer takes the EW Pop Culture Personality Test -- Video
19 hours ago
Tonight, Franklin & Bash returns for its third season (9 p.m. Et on TNT) with new cast member Heather Locklear, who joins the law firm as name partner Rachel King, in tow. “She’s come in to sort of kick our asses a little bit,” Mark-Paul Gosselaar explains. “Because we became equity partners last year, and because Stanton is sort of on our side of a lot of things, we just needed somebody to push back against the boys. So that’s what she brings this year: She brings somebody that’s not always on our side — and might have ulterior »

Katy Perry says Russell Brand asked for a divorce via text message
22 hours ago
One he sent her on New Year’s Eve, no less! This sort of thing is why the “That Was Way Harsh, Tai” tag was created.
In a revealing cover interview for Vogue’s July issue, the 28-year-old singer discusses her career and her relationship history — paying special attention to her brief marriage to comedian and cable news scourge Russell Brand. “He’s a very smart man, and I was in love with him when I married him,” Perry says of her ex, whom she met in the summer of 2009 and married in the fall of 2010.

Watch Brad Pitt and Jimmy Fallon try a yodel duet -- Video

Sometimes, when you just need a break from work, it helps to just go to the top of your building and yodel. At least, that’s what Jimmy Fallon and Brad Pitt do.
In this delightful clip from Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, Brad and Jimmy “chat” and then harmonize beautifully.
Watch the video below:
The whole thing is also a reminder that that World War Z opens in theaters this Friday, June 21.

Jimmy Kimmel wants to 'Channing All Over Your Tatum' -- Music Video
18 June 2013 8:35 PM, PDT
Tonight, Jimmy Kimmel debuted a music video for the vaguely explicit slow jam “(I Wanna) Channing All Over Your Tatum,” featuring White House Down costars Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx, along with Miley Cyrus, Olivia Munn, and Gabourey Sidibe. Don’t blink or you’ll miss the Matt Damon cameo.
Knowing Tatum insisted he strip to Ginuwine’s euphemistic “Pony” in Magic Mike, this feels particularly right.
