Sure he’s talented when it comes to music, but mastering the acting bug seems to be harder for him (skits on SNL notwithstanding).  Have to give him credit though, he keeps trying. 

JT will next be seen on The Social Network, playing Facebook creator Mark Zukenberg, followed by Friends With Benefits which is currently filming in NYC. 

Anyway, JT recently directed a couple of commercials for his 901 Tequila, and they’re really, really, laughingly bad.  Sorry JT, I’ll take Silver Patron over your over-priced and over-hyped panty remover any day.

Apparently, with out anyone knowing it, the folks behind Mega-Shark vs Giant Octopus decided that it would be a great idea to make a sequel of James Cameron’s 1997 smash, Titanic.

Of course, this isn’t about the characters from the first film, that story is told.  This is about the maiden voyage of the Titanic II that launches one hundred years to the day after the original, but ends up running into a tsunami (by 2012, glaciers are going to be few and far between, the way things keep warming up).

Bad acting, bad special effects, and generall badness ensues.  Since it’s pointed out that history is repeating itself in the trailer, I think they should use “History Repeating” by the Propellerheads for the theme song. 

Speaking of history repeating, do you think this will sweep the Academy Awards next year?

Pretty Reckless, Taylor Momsen’s band of hired babysitters, released their new video for the single Miss Mothing.  You can tell they’re all edgy and hardcore becuase of the eyeliner everyone’s wearing.  How retro!  

Taylor’s being critizied for being too “sexy” for a sixteen year old girl in this video.  Sexy?  Really??  Trying too hard to be grownup with cringe worthy results is more like it.

What do you think?

When I first saw the title for Sharktopus I had to wonder if last summer’s Mega-Shark vs Giant Octopus on Syfy was actually a tale about forbidden love.

Thankfully, the answer to that is no.

Sharktopus is from director Roger Corman, the 21st century version of Ed Wood (Plan 9 From Outer Space).  Known for his grade Z genre films, Corman is the perfect fit for Syfy‘s Original Saturday Night monster movie franchise, which fully embraces his style.

Bad acting?  Check.  Worse dialogue?  Check.  Non-special non-effects?  Double check.  Don’t even get me started on the soundtrack, which sounds like a mash up between one of those beach movies from the 60′s and something from Quentin Tarantino on a bender.

Park your brain and behold the stupdifying awfulness that is Sharktopus.

This is kind of cool. 

In the new video for Crossfire, the new song by The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers, Charlizer Theron is his bad ass resucer from a bunch of Ninjas. 

No, I’m not making any of this up. 

The song is from Brandon’s upcoming solo album Flamingo, due out Sept 14th.

Ok, the cable network isn’t actually calling it that (although they really, really, should).  Syfy has announced that one time mall concert singing sensation Tiffany will be pitted against Debbie Gibson in an upcoming made TV movie, Mega Python vs Gatoroid.  No, I’m not making any of this crap up.

The plot revolves around Gibson playing an animal rights activist advocating the release of tropical snakes into the Everglades, while Tiffany plays a park ranger determined to protect the gator population.  Here I was hoping they’d each be playing the title roles.  Sadness.

Syfy has a hit on it’s hands with it’s Original Saturday Night B-grade mega- monster movies.  Last year Debbie (excuse me Deborah), starred in Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus (it’s ridiculously awesome as it sounds – see trailer at bottom of post below) while Tiffany was in Mega Piranah.

Mega Python vs Gatoroid is scheduled to air on Syfy sometime next year.

Check out his clip about the fight scenes (there’s quite a few of them) for the upcoming third installment of the Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

The film clearly isn’t just from Bella’s POV (unlike the books) and probably stands to be the most accessible (something for everyone) to date.

Apparently, some Twi-freaks have been complaining that the movie focuses too much on action and not enough on the Edward/Bella/Jacob love triangle, without of course having seen anything but the trailers at this point.

Mind-boggling.

Haters to the left.

Tastes like chicken!

Apparently, Comedy Central is going to roast David Hasselhoff for a new special that is set to air August 15th.  Just how do you roast someone who’s career (if not life) already seems to be a parody of itself?  

The Hoff ‘s all for it, saying “I’m honored that Comedy Central is going to get ‘Hoff’ on me. I have always been a major fan of Roasts, dating back to the days of the Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts.  Laughter is the best medicine.  Bring it on! I’m ready to take the heat.”

No word if it’s open season with any and all topics regarding the Hoff, or if some (cough-alcohol-cough) will remain verboten.  Should be an interesting group  gathered to roast him.  You just know Pam Anderson will be there and say something completely inappropriate (which is kind of the whole point).

Kylie Minogue’s video for her new single All The Lovers from her forthcoming album Aphrodite has been released and it’s pretty smokin’ hot.

Apparently, everyone decides to strip down to their skivvies and start to make out in the middle of the street, which soon turns into a big free for all.  One guy unfortunately looks like he’s wearing diapers in one shot but that’s the risk of wearing tighty whiteys when you have a bubble butt.  

Hot girl on girl, girl on boy, and boy on boy action ensues, as Kylie gets fondled while being lifted up to the top of an ever growing pile of people macking on each other.

There’s also big white balloon in the shape of an elephant floating around, a white stallion comes  trotting through as the party progresses, and white doves.  Freudian imagery or sly commentary? 

Cue the countdown for some conservative watchdog group to start making noise about some of the content in the video (to their own detriment).

Cue chest thumping and gushing from the only singer possibly more cheesy than Mariah Carey.

Celine is about 14 weeks along.  Apparently, the 42 year old singer turned to accupuncture as a last ditch effort to concive (oversharing is one of her trademark characteristics and we love her for it) after invetro fertalization didn’t work out.

Needless to sayCeline and her svengali husband/manager Rene Angelil are “thrilled”.  I’ll lay off the snark now since they’re both actually sincere in their shmaltz.
