9 July 2009 12:31 AM, PDT | From Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news

"I wanted to create a video that actually represented Third Eye Blind," says Stephan Jenkins, lead singer and songwriter for the group (and famous Punk'd guest). "The song is full angry, bold and dirty and so are we!" Yup, the guy who fronted the band that gave us huge hits like "Semi-Charmed Life," "How's It Going To Be," "Jumper" and "Never Let You Go" has just directed/pieced together a new, innovative video for the group that utilizes hundreds of photos to mimic stop-motion production. Like some of the best Third Eye Blind tracks, the song has political implications, and its promo clip now debuts on The Huffington Post. So here's your chance to be the first kid on your block to experience all four minutes of the angry, bold and dirty that is "Don't Believe A Word"... Third Eye Blind...

Watch and discuss: Simon Rex and Lance Bass in "Rex"

2 July 2009 6:55 AM, PDT | From AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news

How did you first hear about Simon Rex? Did you know about him as an MTV host or did you first hear about him when his "adult movie" past was discovered?

He's revisiting that first moment of notoriety with Rex, a comedy pilot that sees his adult video as a publicity stunt to make him famous, the work of a "controversy consultant" who helps engineer tabloid scandals.

With his career sluggish once more, Simon returns to his controversy consultant, Jeffrey. The plan to get his career back on track leads to Simon to have dinner with Lance Bass and clumsily trying to hit on him, saying "I just became gay yesterday."

You can find instructions on how to watch the pilot online by visiting the Rex Facebook page (warning the video contains plenty of Nsfw language). Read further to discuss the pilot including my thoughts.

Overall, I have a weakness

Remember when New Moon star Michael Sheen Punk'd Kate Beckinsale?

14 May 2009 12:03 AM, PDT | From Twilight Examiner | See recent Twilight Examiner news

The Twilight Saga: New Moon's Michael Sheen has brought a lot to the Twilight saga. Firstly, he brings natural talent and experience to his role as Aro - wisdom about the portrayal of other worldly creatures as a veteran of the Underworld series. In the past few weeks, since being cast as Aro, Sheen has also brought something else - Twitter. He and co-star Jamie Campbell Bower (playing fellow Volturi vampire Caius in the film) have been a real tweet treat for Twilight fans with their constant updates and innuendos. That said, does anyone remember when Michael Sheen "Punk'd" co-star Kate Beckinsale back in 2007? If not, the video is below, and ...

CBS Television Distribution (Ctd) has picked up Katalyst Media's animated gossip web series Blah Girls, for distribution as one-minute interstitials between segments of its daily entertainment show The Insider.

Somewhat appropriately, they are actually re-imagining the hit series with a live internet take on it via UStream.

Punk'd: Ashton Kutcher Reviving Prank Series for the Web

23 April 2009 7:45 PM, PDT | From TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news

When Ashton Kutcher first emerged as a star, playing the naive and dim-witted Kelso on That '70s Show, few would have expected he was on his way to becoming a media tycoon. He seems to always have a project in the works for TV or the Internet. A couple years ago, Kutcher was closely associated to Punk'd, the prank TV series that he created and executive produced. While it seemed to run its course after four years, Kutcher is now finding a new way to bring it back.

A blend of the old Candid Camera and TV's Bloopers & Practical Jokes series, Punk'd features Kutcher and crew playing elaborate pranks on unsuspecting celebrities. Some of the most memorable "punkings" during the series run include Justin Timberlake, Elijah Wood, Wilmer Valderrama, Katie Holmes, Zach Braff, Kristin Cavallari, Sean Paul, and Beyoncé Knowles. Though most have taken the joke in good fun, some

Kutcher Re-Enacts Jackson Baby Stunt

13 February 2009 12:15 AM, PST | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Ashton Kutcher has followed through on this promise to re-enact Michael Jackson's infamous baby-dangling horror - but went one step further, by throwing a baby doll from a hotel window.

Earlier this week (begs09Feb09), the Punk'd star pledged to recreate the famous stunt, after he found out he was staying in the same room of the Hotel Adlon, Berlin where Jackson dangled baby Prince Michael II above the heads of shocked onlookers in 2002.

Kutcher has posted video clips of himself preparing the 'baby' - a doll he has named Gwendolyn - for the re-enactment on website Qik.

The actor is seen covering the doll's face with a mask - as the King Of Pop did with his son - before tying a string around the toy, to act as a harness.

Kutcher is then shown giving a commentary from the ground, while a figure - meant to depict Michael Jackson - comes to the window and the doll is thrown out.

The 31-year-old says, "Moving into position. The baby is in place. Michael should be appearing any time now... Here is is. There's Michael. Michael's holding the baby. The baby has been thrown. It happened and you saw it here live.'
