Watch: J.J. Abrams counters 'Star Trek' sexism claims with Cumberbatch shower scene

55 minutes ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

Amidst the public controversy over that now-infamous Alice Eve underwear scene in "Star Trek Into Darkness" (recently addressed by screenwriter Damon Lindelof via Twitter), director J.J. Abrams took to "Conan" this evening to address the claims of sexism that have dogged him ever since the film's release. “She’s changing, and the idea was, the intent was, it’s Kirk [Chris Pine], who was always a womanizing character…the idea was have a beat like that in the midst of all this action and adventure," explained Abrams in his trademark my-mouth-can't-keep-up-with-my-brain cadence. "Have a beat where he looks and doesn’t look away. I don’t »

J.J. Abrams brings Benedict Cumberbatch showering scene from 'Star Trek Into Darkness' to 'Conan'

2 hours ago | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

For his appearance on "Conan," director J.J. Abrams brought a rather hilarious response to the charges of sexism in regards to Alice Eve appearing in her underwear in "Star Trek Into Darkness" for seemingly no particular reason.

Abrams says that he "didn't quite edit the scene in the right way" and that he understands where the criticism is coming from. He then offers a little tit for tat, with a cut scene of Khan (Benedict Cumberbatch) showering -- a "shower of evil," if you will.

Abrams also promises O'Brien that he'll put a Conan Easter egg in the new "Star Wars" movie, so be on the lookout for that. »

4 hours ago | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »

Imagine Star Trek Into Darkness with a scene featuring Benedict Cumberbatch showering. That's exactly what director J.J. Abrams posed during a Wednesday appearance on TBS' late-night talker Conan. Addressing controversy surrounding a scene that saw Captain James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) checking out Carol Marcus (Alice Eve) in her underwear, Abrams explained that the moment was in line with Kirk's character, though he admitted that perhaps he didn't quite edit "the scene in the right way."

Jj Abrams Shows Deleted ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Scene Of Benedict Cumberbatch Showering: Video

4 hours ago | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »

Jj Abrams has taken some heat about a scene in Star Trek Into Darkness where Kirk (Chris Pine) gets a quick look at Dr. Carol Marcus (Alice Eve) in her underwear. Answering to charges of sexism on Conan, Abrams said he thought the scene was a trade-off because Kirk also shows some skin — and then the filmmaker revealed a cut scene of Benedict Cumberbatch (who plays the villainous Khan) showering.

'Workaholics' cast raps 'Straight Outta Mordor' on 'Conan' - Watch now

7 hours ago | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

The cast of "Workaholics" was set to appear on "Conan" Tuesday (May 21), but it was announced before their segment that they had to back out at the last minute. Luckily, Conan O'Brien said the trio had booked their own replacement guest. He then introduced rap group The Wizards.

Of course fans of "Workaholics" may recognize The Wizards as the rapping alter egos of Blake Anderson, Adam DeVine and Anders Holm, along with Kyle Newacheck, who co-created the show. The group took the stage to perform "Straight Outta Mordor," a "Lord of the Rings"-flavored rap.

The performance was complete with wizard costumes, dancing girls and fire-breathing dragons. What more could you ask for from rappers? As the song ends, one of the Wizards makes a bold challenge, yelling, "Jay-z, you'd better lock the door. We comin for ya."

The Wizards 2009 album, "Purple Magic," is available online and you can see the performance below. »

Out comedian Tig Notaro wants to know if she's famous (or not famous) enough to have her headshot hanging in L.A. dry cleaners and restaurants. Thankfully Conan's cameras came along for the ride.

That call to Sarah Silverman was priceless.

12 hours ago | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

"Big Bang" and "American Horror Story: Asylum" lead the nominees with six apiece. "Parks and Recreation" and Sundance's miniseries "Top of the Lake" have five each. There were a couple of surprise omissions too: "Mad Men" was shut out of the best drama nominees, and of the cast only Elisabeth Moss scored an acting nomination. Ditto for "Modern Family" on the comedy side; Sarah Hyland was the only cast member nominated.

The Critics' Choice Television Awards are set for June 10. "Parks and Rec's" Retta will serve as host.

'Man Of Steel' Trailer: Conan O'Brien Finds A Super Plot Hole

16 hours ago | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

by Brett White

Conan O'Brien has a thing or two to say about "Man of Steel" and a shot that's popped up in a few of the trailers (including the most recent one). But first, the comedian goes into just how much he loves Superman and how on board he's been for this movie from the get go.

"I love the guy who's playing Superman, I love that Amy Adams is in it," Conan gushes. "I love the whole idea that on the planet Krypton they have Australian accents." But gushing aside, there's one moment in the trailer that took Conan completely out of it. How out of it? Way out of it. Watch his video response below and then ask yourself... do you agree?

Will Andy Samberg and Fox Cop a Hit?

21 May 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »

On paper, “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” seems to break the laws of network television.

It’s a single-camera comedy set in a police station that pairs a wildly silly comedian with an actor renowned for his dramatic intensity. It’s produced by NBCUniversal’s studio arm for the Fox network by showrunners who are known for delivering upscale NBC hits. Yet “Brooklyn” is one of the most anticipated newcomers for the 2013-14 season, a sign of how much broadcast networks are willing to stretch to reclaim some of the creative buzz from cable and digital competitors.

Fox is betting big on the chemistry between stars Andy Samberg and Andre Braugher, and the ability of “Brooklyn” co-creators/exec producers Dan Goor and Mike Schur to field a broadcast-tv-sized hit.

“I don’t think the distinction between cable and network sensibility is that great anymore,” says Schur. “ ‘Smart’ and ‘popular’ do not have to be mutually exclusive. »

Mary Lynn Rajskub On If Chloe Will Return To '24'

21 May 2013 12:51 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Besides Kiefer Sutherland, one other presence is most thought of when people consider "24." With the news that Fox was reviving the hit series as a 12-episode max-series for next year, the questions started to fly. Jack Bauer would rise again, but what about Chloe? Mary Lynn Rajskub, who breathed life into the character for so many years, dropped by "Conan" to talk about the relaunch.

Rajskub admitted that even she doesn't know yet if Chloe will be back. "I have high hopes," she said. "I’m hoping to hear soon. People have been over the moon about this.” She went on to say that the online community has been very vocal and supportive of her returning to the series.

“People are like, I’m not gonna watch if you’re not on! And no Chloe no watchy!” she said.

So far, only Kiefer Sutherland is tied to the new series, »
