Listen to Britney Spears’s New Song From The Smurfs 2
17 May 2013 9:15 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
The Smurfs sequel, smartly named The Smurfs 2, may star (the voices of) Katy Perry and Neil Patrick Harris, but it also will include a new, PG-rated track from Britney Spears. Recently departed from the set of The X Factor, Brit's got the likes of will.i.am on her side, and is reportedly back in the studio. Movie's out July 31 and "Ooh La La" is undeniably reminiscent of "I Wanna Go," with a little Ke$ha influence thrown in there. She raps! Well, actually, she speaks: "Turn it up till the speakers pop." Go ahead, do it. »

Neil Patrick Harris Joins Seth MacFarlane's A Million Ways To Die In The West
11 May 2013 7:36 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Given Seth MacFarlane.s knowledge and talent when it comes to musical numbers, it was a little odd that his 2012 blockbuster smash Ted went the route of MacFarlane.s other talent: filthy joke writing. Granted, Ted did sing Hootie and the Blowfish, but that.s not what I.m talking about. His next film, the western-themed comedy A Million Ways to Die in the West, doesn.t outwardly look like it will be musically-minded, but his latest bit of casting is just one more step in that direction. Vulture reports Neil Patrick Harris will lend his universal appeal to the already impressive cast. Harris appeared on MacFarlane.s Family Guy a couple of times playing Barney, the How I Met Your Mother role that catapulted him back into the public consciousness. His last feature role was in the The Smurfs adaptation, and he will be appearing in its sequel this »

According to Box Office Mojo, Sony Pictures has pushed back its animated Popeye movie (which sees the iconic sailor man make his triumphant return to the big screen, complete with 3D). Originally set for a September 26th, 2014 release date, the adaptation will now hit theaters in an already crowded 2015. No specific date has been announced yet, but 2015 has plenty of competition in the form of The Avengers 2, Pirates Of The Caribbean 5, Star Wars: Episode VII, Finding Dory, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2, and many more big films. Popeye will be directed by Genndy Tartakovsky (who most recently helmed Hotel Transylvania for Sony Animation). Screenwriters Jay Scherick and David Ronn (The Smurfs) were hired to pen the script last year. Are you looking forward to this movie? Follow @PaulRomCBM »

Jonathan Winters Remembered: His 5 Best Movies
12 April 2013 1:57 PM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
Jonathan Winters, who died Friday at 87, was a beloved comic whirlwind for generations, one whose influence on movie comics from Robin Williams to Jim Carrey to Sacha Baron Cohen is very apparent. So why didn't he make a bigger splash on film? The paradox of WInters's 50-year screen career was that film wasn't a big enough medium to contain him. He did his best work on records and TV, where his surrealist, improvisational genius could run free in short bursts. In movies, however, he was often constrained to a single character (though in some animated films, he played as many as three), which is why many of his best films are ones where he appeared in brief but unforgettable cameos. The one movie that did give him a broad enough canvas was actually his first major role, the sprawling "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World," where he was a larger-than-life force of nature. »

Entertainment News: Comedian Jonathan Winters Dies at 87
12 April 2013 12:59 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Los Angeles – Jonathan Winters, one of the most influential comedians of the past two generations, has died of natural causes on April 11th at his home in Montecito, California. His characteristic schizophrenic comic style inspired modern funnymen like Robin Williams, George Carlin and Jim Carrey. He was 87 years old.
The career of Jonathan Winters spanned from 1948 to the present, during which his freaky, energetic expression of humor had its own unique form. A fixture on such legendary television shows such as “The Tonight Show” (with both Jack Paar and Johnny Carson), “The Dean Martin Show” and “Hollywood Squares,” Winters would often appear as his alter ego Maude Frickert, a sharp tongued old lady character. It wasn’t just an act, as during his early career he spent time in mental institutions, and was diagnosed with manic depression.

12 April 2013 10:54 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Legendary comedian Jonathan Winters passed away of natural causes last night at the age of 87. Winters was a pioneer in improvisational comedy, able to quickly jump from unique character to unique character, hilarious idea to hilarious idea. He was a fixture of late-night television, frequently appearing on The Jack Paar Program and Johnny Carson's Tonight Show. Over the course of his career, he appeared in more than 50 movies and tons of television. This included notable parts in It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (where he actually played two roles) and in the last season of Mork & Mindy, where he played the lead's child.
