Olivia vs. Zach: Actress Calls Out Comedian

22 May 2013 1:00 PM, PDT | Entertainment Tonight | See recent Entertainment Tonight news »

Olivia Munn is defending all the smart, pretty and funny people out there, claiming to Esquire magazine that 43-year-old funnyman Zach Galifianakis doesn't think person can be both humorous and good looking.

"I believe it was Galifianakis who was saying something like people who are attractive can't be funny, because funny comes from pain," the 32-year-old actress said in an interview for the men's magazine, that was paired with a bikini photo shoot.

"And it's interesting, because in my life, I moved around a lot, and I had a really abusive stepfather. ...And you move around a lot and you're constantly the new kid, because you're a military family. Oklahoma, Utah, Japan, different parts of Japan -- and humor and being self-deprecating and sarcastic was the thing that could break ice in every situation. And so it's a very antiquated idea to think that you can't be pretty and smart and funny."

This Week's Cover: 'The Wolverine' tops your Summer Must List

22 May 2013 12:00 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Does Hugh Jackman ever slow down? From what we can report, the answer is a definitive no way, mate. For the cover story of our annual Summer Must List issue, EW visited the actor last year on the Sydney set of The Wolverine (in theaters July 26), where Jackman jumped and leapt and charmed his way through a series of seemingly back-breaking stunts that he made look as easy as pie. That’s entertainment — and who embodies the power and pop of summer in the cinema better than Jackman?

This is the epically buff, 44-year-old Australian’s sixth time at bat as Wolverine, »

'American Horror Story' and 'The Big Bang Theory' lead Critics' Choice TV Award nominees

22 May 2013 11:10 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

The third annual Critics' Choice Television Awards features what is becoming the awards' signature mix of no-brainer and under-the-radar nominees.

So while "Breaking Bad" and "Homeland" are nominated for best drama series, so is "The Americans." The best comedy nominees include "The Big Bang Theory" and "Louie," but also "The Middle."

"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.

Here's the full list of nominees:

Debut Trailer For Larry David/Jon Hamm Comedy 'Clear History'; HBO Pick Up New Mike Judge Comedy

20 May 2013 8:55 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Adventureland” director Greg Mottola has made himself something of a second home on television. He spent the early part of the new millennium directing episodes of shows like “Undeclared” and “Arrested Development,” and last year he directed a few episodes of HBO series “The Newsroom.” For his next film, he’s sticking with the legendary cable network, delivering the comedy “Clear History,” and a teaser for the film has arrived online. Starring Larry David, Jon Hamm, Bill Hader, Kate Hudson, Eva Mendes and Danny McBride, the mostly-improvised film follows David as “a hipster marketing exec who sells all his shares at a start-up over a fight with his boss, only to miss out on billions when the company’s new product -- an electric car -- becomes a smashing success.”  The teaser (via EW) is a paltry thirty seconds, but it’s worth it to see David looking like . . . well, »

The Newsroom Goes Supernatural with Guest Star Lauren Tom

15 May 2013 4:44 PM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »

The Newsroom may be known for it’s tackling of real-life news stories, but that doesn’t mean it can’t get a little supernatural once in a while. Of course, I mean supernatural as a pun in this situation. The Newsroom could never be so cool as to introduce ghosts and aliens, but it can bring in actors who have experience is those types of genres. Its second season will take advantage of Lauren Tom’s talents, who’s best known for her voice work on Futurama but has more recently guest starred in a number of episodes on the CW’s Supernatural. I’ll keep my fingers crossed her character will be possessed by a demon.

Tom will join The Newsroom for two episodes this summer. THR said she’ll be playing Kathy Ling, an expert working at the decision desk on election night, which gives us a »

'The Mindy Project' Season 1 finale: 'We are not at the point ... where we're murdering characters yet'

14 May 2013 2:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

Already renewed for a second season, Fox's freshman comedy "The Mindy Project" has the rare pleasure to close out its season on Tuesday, May 14, with the assurance that it'll return next year.

But that doesn't mean that star, executive producer and writer Mindy Kaling -- who plays love-hungry 30-something Ob/Gyn Dr. Mindy Lahiri -- is ending at a different place than she planned.

Out on the Universal Studios back lot, around the corner from what looks like a giant courthouse and a huge, flat painted row of urban buildings, Kaling is taking a break inside a jumbled restaurant set. From the giant Buddha and pagoda lamps, it might have been a Chinese eatery.

The penultimate episode is in production, involving a frat party and two of Mindy's ex-boyfriends: cool Lutheran pastor Casey (Anders Holm, "Workaholics") and dentist Tom (Bill Hader, "Saturday Night Live"). There's even some violence, but first, »

Fox's 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' trailer: Andre Braugher plays straight man to Andy Samberg, Terry Crews, Chelsea Peretti and more comics

13 May 2013 6:26 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

From the folks who brought you "Parks and Recreation," the trailer for Fox's new fall comedy, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" is here. "Men of a Certain Age's" Andre Braugher plays the straight man against one of the more promising comedic casts on the Fall TV grid.

Andy Samberg ("Saturday Night Live") plays Jake Peralta, and Terry Crews ("The Newsroom," "Are We There Yet?"), Melissa Fumero ("One Life to Live"), Joe Lo Truglio ("Burning Love," "Reno 911") and Chelsea Peretti ("Kroll Show," "Parks and Recreation") round out the talent list.

It appears the premise of the show can be boiled down to a line delivered' by Crews' character, Terry Jefford, to the new police captain at Precinct 99, Capt. Holt (Braugher). "Jacob Peralta is my best detective," says Crews. "The only puzzle he hasn't solved is how to grow up." This is evidenced by Peralta's refusal to wear a tie around his neck, a secret Speedo that becomes not-so-secret, »

TV Academy Honors Tough but Sweet

10 May 2013 9:44 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »

Bouncy houses and cancer. Jason Katims‘ eloquent juxtaposition of the two set the tone for the sixth annual TV Academy Honors on Thursday at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Katims, the showrunner of “Parenthood” – one of eight programs being honored at the Phil Gurin-produced event for their use of television to promote positive social change – described in his acceptance speech how an NBC marketing clip, showing the series’ cast frolicking in a bouncy house, made him question whether to dedicate the show’s fourth season to a plot in which the character played by Monica Potter would suffer through cancer.

“Must we continue to dwell,” on such grim events, Katims wondered to himself, “when the world offers bouncy houses?”

Katims said that over the first three seasons of “Parenthood,” featuring numerous storylines of challenge and struggle, the writing staff was digging deep within themselves to tell great stories – “and saving a fortune in therapy, »
