The Soup Investigates First Look: E!'s New Spin-Off Series Takes on The Bachelor
10 hours ago | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
E! is serving up a bonus helping of The Soup this Wednesday (10:30/9:30c) with The Soup Investigates, a spin-off of the long-running satirical comedy — and we’ve got a first look at the offshoot.
Hosted by the mothership series’ leading man Joel McHale, Investigates is a spoof of the investigative TV genre. The show features a team of “reporters” delving into “pop culture mysteries, celebrity rumors and the shocking questions that entertainment fans never thought to ask… and probably shouldn’t have.”

NBC is planning to unveil some Parks & Recreation merchandise, according to The Hollywood Reporter. That includes a set of trading cards, motivational posters featuring Leslie Knope and a bunch of Ron Swanson merchandise. I guess NBC’s research said that I’m the only one who uses the moniker “dream man Ben Wyatt.’

17 June 2013 11:50 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
"Community" star Joel McHale is the latest in a long line of luminaries to ask, "What would you do for a Klondike bar?" and you'd better have a darn good answer, because you might be asked to prove it over the next few months.
McHale has partnered with Klondike for the What Would You Do for A Klondike Bar? Challenge, a summer-long contest featuring the comedian and several nostalgic celebrities of the '80s and '90s, in which fans can suggest acts that the celebrities will be required to carry out in pursuit of the fabled ice cream bar. The only catch? If your idea is chosen, you have to do the deed too. Luckily, there are prizes, bragging rights and potential viral video fame up for grabs in the process, if such things entice you. The first celebrity participant is Alfonso Ribeiro, star of "The Fresh Prince of »

Grumpy Cat Internet Sensation Gets a Movie
31 May 2013 3:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
There are some things that I manage to avoid on the Internet. I've never heard of this Grumpy Cat until today, but apparently it's a big thing, which seems absolutely ridiculous. What's even more ridiculous is the fact that Hollywood is going to take this stupidly popular Internet cat sensation and turn it into a family style comedy.
The movie will be based on a cat named Tardar Sauce, who's a scowling feline that became famous for appearing in memes. She won Meme of the Year at the 2013 Webby Awards. Ugh. Deadline also mentions a bunch of the cat's other achievements:
Grumpy Cat was named the most influential cat of 2012 by MSNBC, a most important Meme of 2012 by Mashable, and has appeared on such TV shows including Today, Good Morning America, CBS Evening News, Anderson Cooper Live, VH1 Morning Buzz and The Soup. In March, Grumpy Cat was deemed the »

Grumpy Cat Gets Garfield-Like Movie Deal

Exclusive: More depressing news for humans who can’t get a Hollywood movie made. Grumpy Cat, the cranky-faced kitty voted Meme of the Year at the 2013 Webby Awards, has a shot at getting her famous sourpuss on the big screen. Broken Road’s Todd Garner and Sean Robins, and Grumpy Cat’s reps (manager Ben Lashes and rep Al Hassas) have teamed up to produce and assemble a package for a Garfield-like feature film with the famous frowning feline at the center. Here, Grumpy Cat (real name Tardar Sauce) will be given the power of speech. How much movie potential can a Grumpy Cat have? Well, she has been scratching at the door of fame in a big way. Among the indicators: Grumpy Cat was named the most influential cat of 2012 by MSNBC, a most important Meme of 2012 by Mashable, and has appeared on such TV shows including Today, Good Morning America, »

Lesson of the day: Never wear makeup when interviewing Joel McHale. Learn from our mistakes, people! We chatted with The Soup host and Community star on the red carpet at NBC's upfront presentation in New York City and our stomachs still hurt from laughing. So. Darn. Hard. So what was McHale saying that had us crying off our mascara? Well, it had something to do with new Late Night host Seth Meyers and the word "boner." Oh, and don't worry, Community fans, we were able to stop laughing long enough to get McHale to discuss the sitcom's renewal...and possible movie! Community's Renewal: While NBC canceled many of their comedies, the cult favorite series is returning for a fifth season. »

Joel McHale's Guilty Pleasure Is A Little Creepy ...
23 April 2013 8:50 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Upfront event in NYC on April 22, where he revealed his sarcastic secrets.
