The Real Star Of ‘The Hangover’ Is … Phil Collins?

8 June 2009 11:33 AM, PDT | From MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news

Over the weekend, Todd Phillips’ Las Vegas super-comedy “The Hangover” narrowly missed becoming the top movie in the country (it was edged out by crotchety animated Ed Asner and “Up”) (Update: Looks like it prevailed after all!). The movie is a fantastically hilarious trip through a bachelor party gone horribly, horribly wrong and features guest appearances by a baby, a tiger and Mike Tyson, who plays air drums along with Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight.” It’s yet another instance where somehow, some way, Phil Collins has been given a gold medal in the cool Olympics.

The oft-maligned Collins has had a rough time of it in the mainstream, selling millions of records but mostly getting dismissed as either “the guy who ruined Genesis” (not true) or “the guy who wrote those stupid songs for Disney’s ‘Tarzan’” (unfortunately true).

If Sigourney Won't Fight Ghosts, Alyssa Milano Will!

Instead, her character is "Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn, the brainy guest curator of a 'World of Gozer' exhibit at the Natural History Museum." It seems that Milano was approached once Weaver declined to come back to the fold. I guess they were a fan of her voice in Dinotopia and Jimmy Neutron.

Hardee’s Shifts Gears Into Wacky ‘Slotcar’ Racing Series

10 February 2009 6:46 PM, PST | From Tubefilter.tv | See recent Tubefilter News news

Animax, the entertainment studio founded by Dave Thomas (Brother Bear) and ad/production man Andrew Bain, is filling up its tank with restaurant chain Hardee's for a new web series to poke fun at new American past time – stock car auto racing. Launching this week and produced by Animax web branding unit Unplugged, the series of one- to two-minute Slotcar episodes will include highlight packages, driver biographies, controversial stories, rumors, speculation as well as parodies. "We produce each webisode only a week out from the launch date, so we are able to keep the content fresh and topical," Animax COO Tim Jones said. "If something big happens in a race on Saturday, you’re going to see it spoofed on the next Slotcar webisode."
