Walk Down Memory Lane With The New Grown Ups Poster

21 hours ago | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

When you.ve got a cast including Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider and David Spade, you expect the trailer to be downright hilarious. Well, it was far from it, but maybe they.re saving the good stuff for the movie. Or am I being too hopeful? Grown Ups stars the four SNL alumni plus one as childhood friends and basketball teammates who reunite to honor their late coach. They pack up their impressively casted wives (Salma Hayek, Maria Bello and Maya Rudolph) and kids and head off to the lake house where they spent their younger days. The film is set to hit theaters June 25th and I.m looking forward to seeing this brand new poster showing off the stars way back when on billboards across the country. When it.s at someone else.s expense, who doesn.t love looking back and laughing at old »

Chinese food and movies: A Christmas tradition

23 hours ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

I celebrated Christmas a day early last night. Not by gathering round a tree, exchanging gifts, or singing carols, though. As a secular Jew with no attachment to Christmas as such, my chosen rituals at this time of year are slightly different: namely, dinner at a Chinese restaurant followed by an evening at the movie theater. For many American Jews, Chinese-food-and-movies is an annual Dec. 25 (or Dec. 24) tradition. It's not exactly a holiday, but rather an optional, informal fun-having event that takes place at the same time as billions of other people are observing a holiday. Do I know how it got started? »

10 Most Outrageous Music Videos

25 December 2009 1:28 AM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »

Music video is an important instrument to promote a song and help boost its sale. From time to time, artists are trying to make their videos as interesting as possible. The launching of music-specified networks such as MTV, VH1 and Bet challenges musicians even more to make a good video like the legendary and phenomenal "Thriller" video by Michael Jackson.

With the end of 2009 coming closer, 10 music videos which were premiered from January to December have been selected by AceShowbiz as one of its year-end treatments. They are chosen based on their beyond-usual scenes. Drawing controversy for offensiveness and shocking fans for the steamy scenes are some of the things which make these videos outrageous.

Ciara's "Love Sex Magic"

Not stopping only by giving a provocative title "Love Sex Magic", Ciara also films a steamy music video to accompany the Justin Timberlake-featuring track. The video is filled with »

Cop Out – Trailer

24 December 2009 5:13 PM, PST | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »

Cop Out

Directed by: Kevin Smith

Starring: Tracy Morgan, Bruce Willis, Adam Brody, Seann William Scott

Rating: R

Release Date: February 6, 2010

Trailer Score: 3/10

My Thoughts: Ouch. I don’t slight Kevin Smith for making a truly “Hollywood” movie. Eventually he was going to step away from his own scripts and attempt to show himself as a director capable of handling other material. But this is the result? Obviously I haven’t seen the movie yet, but this laughless trailer has me worried. Sure there will be more cussing and raunchy humor (with Smith it’s guaranteed), but the staleness of the material in this preview has me concerned that even Smith’s staple humor style will be disappointing.

I should probably watch “30 Rock” like people tell me. I don’t think Tracy Morgan has been funny except on SNL, and he doesn’t make his case any better here. His »

Brittany Murphy's dog Clara looking everywhere for her

23 December 2009 9:28 AM, PST | Zap2It - The Dish Rag | See recent Zap2It - The Dish Rag news »

Brittany Murphy's husband Simon Monjack says her Maltese puppy Clara has been "looking everywhere" for her missing mom.

Monjack gave the small white dog to his wife last Christmas. She named her after Clara Bow, the legendary silent screen star. 

The night before she died, Monjack tells People that Murphy was in bed with her puppy Clara, drinking herbal tea for her laryngitis. 

She watched several movies so she could do her Oscar ballot.

 "She wore her pink Beverly Hills Hotel robe and monkey pajamas. We saw  'It's Complicated,' 'Public Enemies' and 'The Princess and the Frog,'" he tells People.  

Brittany's funeral will be held Christmas Eve.

So sad.

Brittany Murphy's funeral will be held on Christmas Eve

23 December 2009 7:28 AM, PST | Zap2It - The Dish Rag | See recent Zap2It - The Dish Rag news »

Brittany Murphy's funeral will take place on Christmas Eve at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, also the site of Michael Jackson's funeral.

The funeral service is going to be strictly private, according to Radaronline.

Brittany, only 32, collapsed in the bathroom of her Hollywood Hills home Sunday morning (Dec. 20). 

All attempts to revive the actress failed and she was pronounced dead at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

The cause of death is currently listed as cardiac arrest but there is an investigation going on.

Despite this week's autopsy, officials are still waiting for the toxicology and neurology results to be released in a few weeks.

As her friends and co-stars who have praised her kind and light spirit would agree, Hollywood is missing an angel and little piece of sunshine.

We know it's an overused phrase, but it's true.

SNL's Golden Age End

22 December 2009 12:08 PM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

When Jake and Elwood Blues took their act onscreen, they left behind a thriving, coke-fueled franchise. SNL's fourth season was its most popular to date, and naturally its growing fan base expected more of the same. But TV is a cruel lover, indifferent to audience needs. After four years, Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi were done with SNL, refusing to go through the paces one more time. The show's enthusiasts would have to get high and laugh without them. In those innocent, pre-internet days, news of such a major defection traveled slowly, if at all. I'm sure plenty of SNL viewers were shocked to find Belushi and Aykroyd missing from season five's premiere. I certainly was. I had no clue that the show's stars bolted for Hollywood. So when the cast credits began with Jane Curtin and Garrett Morris, I thought, »

'SNL' Pulls Brittany Murphy Sketch Off the Web

22 December 2009 10:06 AM, PST | www.actressarchives.com | See recent Actress Archives news »

Two weeks ago, "Saturday Night Live's" Abby Elliott appeared on the "Weekend Update" portion of the show and did a spaced-out impression of actress Brittany Murphy. Following the actress's shocking death, the bit has been pulled offline. The episode aired around the time that Murphy had reportedly been fired from the film "The Caller." The spoof had the fake Murphy showing up at "SNL" unexpectedly, under the false impression that she was hosting the show. The always smarmy and too-giggly Seth Meyers announced, "It was reported this week that actress Brittany Murphy was fired from her upcoming film, 'The Caller,' for being a detriment to p »

'Santa' Betty White tells Craig Ferguson exactly where he can stuff a few dollars this Christmas

22 December 2009 9:06 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

"In the crack," of course, suggested Betty White, part-time Salvation Army Santa. "Just like in the gay strip clubs!" She would know. It's always a delight when Betty pops by the Late Late Show, but something about this Christmassy appearance made it extra-special. It might just be that the way she said "there's nothing like the feeling of a big pair of bells in my hand" reminded us of Alec Baldwin's Schweddy Balls on SNL's 'The Delicious Dish.'

Jimmy Fallon puts new twist on 'SNL' holiday classic: 'I Wish It Was Christmas Today'

22 December 2009 7:28 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Last night, Jimmy Fallon fulfilled a Christmas wish for a lot of fans of his previous work on SNL: He reunited with Horatio Sanz and performed the famed holiday ditty "I Wish It Was Christmas Today." And: the Strokes' lead singer Julian Casablancas joined them! Until I saw the performance last night and did a little Googling this morning, I hadn't realized that Casablancas actually covered the song himself this year. So his addition to the set made perfect sense. See Fallon, Sanz, and Casablancas' performance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon here: Seeing this got me thinking of the original, »

Coroner's Office: Brittany Murphy's bed stand contained alarming amounts of prescription meds

22 December 2009 6:01 AM, PST | Zap2It - The Dish Rag | See recent Zap2It - The Dish Rag news »

A new report from TMZ about Brittany Murphy's tragic death details a stash of prescription medications found on the late actress's nightstand.

Among them were antidepressants, anti-seizure and anti-anxiety meds, and two types of pain relievers.

According to  TMZ's source at the La County Coroner's office, the meds specifically included Topamax (anti-seizure meds, also prevents migraines), Methylprednisolone (anti-inflammatory), Fluoxetine (depression med), Klonopin (anxiety med), Carbamazepine (tDiabetes and bipolar med), Ativan (anxiety med), Vicoprofen (pain reliever), Propranolol (hypertension), Biaxin (antibiotic), Hydrocodone (pain med) and miscellaneous vitamins.

The notes also reveals: "No alcohol containers, paraphernalia or illegal drugs were discovered."

Does this resemble shades of Heath Ledger's untimely, unfortunate passing. Is Brittany's death another sad case of accidental over self-medication? 

We won't know for sure what caused her death until the toxicology reports are released in a few weeks.
