Jon Hamm And Craig Ferguson Had A Delightful ESPYs Talk (Not Really)
17 jul 2013 23:23

Shocking news that will shock you: The Late Late Show welcomed the most likable man in all of entertainment on the show last night to have a half-improv’d chat with our man Craig Ferguson and all the video evidence CBS has made available to the internet thus far is a ninety second context-less clip and nothing on YouTube. I’m pretty sure they’re just trolling me personally at this point. Thankfully there are plenty (read: half dozen) of Ferguson fans on the internet fighting the good fight for the rest of us and uploading full interview segments at the best quality they can muster. It’s the mornings after appearances by the likes of Jon Hamm and Zach Galifianakis that we must thank them the most. As alluded to in the title, the appearance of my other spirit guide not named Joel McHale is all sorts of delightful as Craig and Jon spend twelve minutes chatting and not focusing on anything in particular despite talking Jon Hamm’s ESPYs hosting gig just a little bit (holy sh*t does this mean I have to watch the ESPYs?). What it lacks in Galifianakis weirdness it makes up for in the Hamm-bone’s willingness to play along with everything and be the greatest. Ferguson — as always — brings his A game, derailing any sort of real talking point as soon as it presents itself. Highlights include: Discussing India’s King Ralph, Mick Jagger and Larry King’s elementary school, a Jon Hamm history lesson on Druids, Jon Hamm’s award show host shortcomings, golf, hobbits, and milk delivery. Oh, and penis innuendo. Plenty of penis innuendo. Enjoy.

Trailer: Fifth Estate, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Julian Assange
17 jul 2013 23:22

I’ve always sort of pictured Benedict Cumberbatch as the most British man alive, but playing Wikileaks’ Julian Assange in this trailer for The Fifth Estate, the ol’ chimney sweep proves himself more than capable of pulling off an Australian accent, unlike, say, anyone in Pacific Rim. Assange, the Edgar Winters of journalism, is obviously a divisive figure, and in The Fifth Estate, director Bill Condon, fresh off filming abstinence-induced feats of strength and the agony of heartburn face in the last two Twilight movies, directs an adaptation of the books Inside WikiLeaks: My Time With Julian Assange At The World’s Most Dangerous Website (by Daniel Domscheit-Berg) and WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assange’s War On Secrecy (by David Leigh and Luke Harding), written for the screen by Fringe writer Josh Singer. Think of it as the narrative fiction counterpart to We Steal Secrets. Regardless, hopefully Bill Condon hasn’t gotten too used to shooting Twilight movies. If the Julian Assange character and some girl just stand there staring at each other with stupid f*cking looks on their faces for ten minutes, we’ll know.

Video: Chael Sonnen’s New Contract Demands Are Hilarious And Possibly
17 jul 2013 23:20

The UFC’s greatest boastful personality Chael Sonnen spoke to fans during a Q&A session at the UFC Fan Expo this past weekend in Las Vegas, and he continued to prove why he needs to host a charisma seminar for all new fighters every year, so they don’t all have the personalities of notebook paper. Seriously, if we could bottle the 36-year old’s attitude and ability to speak confidently in public, and inject it into all of the younger fighters, the future of the promotion would be secure for at least 20 years. As a fan asked Sonnen if he’s a prankster behind the scenes, it was pretty clear that the light heavyweight was just waiting for an opportunity to mention that his contract is up so he could unleash his hilarious contract demands that he jokingly claimed to have texted to UFC President Dana White. And I’m glad that he dodged the question and did his own thing, because it was well worth it.

SPORTS NEWS! Anderson Silva Is Starring In ANOTHER MMA Movie
17 jul 2013 23:13

Now that former UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva is a professional fight-thrower, he’s got more time to pursue his TRUE love in life — filming pointless cameos in low budget MMA films. Last month we shared with you the trailer for Tapped, a movie starring Silva and actors who were more popular in the 80s about a young man who steps into the cage and faces CHALLENGES. This month we’ve got Monday Nights At Seven, a movie starring Silva and an actor who was more popular in the 80s about a young man who steps into the cage and faces challenges. The only difference is that Tapped is a real movie, and you have to pay the filmmakers $500,000 if you want to see Monday Nights At Seven. Here’s how they describe it: "A history-making narrative film featuring the first-ever un-choreographed, actual MMA fight...AND an actual Story! Osss!" How could you not want to give them $500,000??

Residents Thought Woman Stuck In Wall Was A Ghost
17 jul 2013 22:58

We’ve all been there. You want to spice things up in your life, but rather than skydive or buy a new hot pot, this one in blue, NOT red, you instead look for a shortcut to your home, and end up getting stuck in a wall, and scream for help, and everyone assumes you’re a ghost, and you’re in China, and you’re a middle-aged woman. Classic. Having gone too far to turn around, the woman, from China’s Anhui province, became entrenched in brick and concrete wall. Screams, however, proved of little help, as building residents naturally assumed she was a ghost. Ultimately, a passerby, realizing her screams did not emanate from the grave, called for help. Yes, it’s just another one of those hijinks we get into every day, like scheduling two dates at the same time on the same night, and then you get stuck in a wall at Burger King when you should be at McDonald’s.

Music Video: Tay Allyn's Mass Text, a Song for Crazy Girls
17 jul 2013 22:51

While it’s not our normal mandate, we’ll cover the occasional music video if we deem it enough of sufficient artistic achievement to warrant attention, such as “Thanksgiving” or “Friday.” And “Mass Text” by Tay Allyn certainly seems to qualify. It’s closer to putting an ice pick in both your ears than anything created up until this point. Eat your heart out, Adam Levine. It’s a song that tells a story, and it begins with a simple scenario, a mass-text party invite, which our protagonist apparently didn’t receive, much to her chagrin, and quickly deteriorates into Allyn demanding to know “WHY DIDN’T I GET YOUR MASS TEXT? I’M IN YOUR CONTACTS!” over and over like a deranged clingy sorority girl from the deepest bowels of hell. Part of me feels bad for contributing to the ubiquitousness of this inevitably-viral video, but it simply demanded to be shared. I guarantee this video is ten times scarier than Evil Dead.

Watch Bob Dylan, Jeff Tweedy, Jim James Perform Together
17 jul 2013 18:20

If you want to attend one great tour with one terrible name this summer, make sure it’s the AmericanaramA Festival of Music Tour. Acts include Richard Thompson, Bob Weir, Wilco, Bob Dylan, and My Morning Jacket, the last three of which covered Reverend Gary Davis’s “Twelve Gates to the City” together in Toronto on Monday. OK, technically, Dylan was only joined by Jeff Tweedy and Bobby from Sons of Anarchy, who’s somehow inhibited the body and voice of Jim James, but I’m not going to mess with Mr. Munson, are you?

How Much SyFy Sharks Can You Handle? Here's A Look At 'Ghost Shark'.
17 jul 2013 18:19

So, based on Internet reaction Syfy’s Sharknado was the biggest movie since, well, pretty much forever. A sequel has already been greenlit! But hey, you don’t have to wait the two months or whatever it’s going to take to churn out another Sharknado movie. You can keep this Syfy shark meme going by watching Ghost Shark on August 22nd. Yup, Ghost Shark. As in, a shark that’s a ghost. Don’t worry, this shark doesn’t let its spectral nature keep it from biting bikini-clad ladies in half. Scroll down for video proof…

'Colbert Report' Segment Gives Us The Greatest Fox News GIF Ever
17 jul 2013 18:18

In case you haven’t heard, folksy Fox & Friends garden gnome Gretchen Carlson is leaving walking human dildos Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade behind for greener pastures, namely Megyn Kelly’s afternoon time slot, because Megyn Kelly is headed to primetime to replace Greta Van Whatshername. Carlson will be replaced on the morning propaganda operation by Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the latest addition to Fox News’ blonde conservative gal stable. Stephen Colbert talked about this in last night’s edition of “Tip Of The Hat/Wag Of The Finger,” where he noted that the network was “boldly changing the face of news” with the moves. More importantly, the segment hand-delivered a piece of gold to the internet’s tireless GIF-makers, as evidenced above. And the clip is below for your further enjoyment.

Dave Grohl Joined Sha Na Na On Stage At The ‘Grease’ Sing-A-Long
17 jul 2013 18:16

Do I need to even mention? You know, how awesome of a person and musician Dave Grohl is? I shouldn’t really even have to mention it at this point, as it should just be implied. Like, I could pass a random stranger on the street and ask, “Hey, who’s awesome?” and he’d respond, “Dave Grohl” and we’d just keep walking. It’s common knowledge, like 2+2=4 and Spicy Nacho Doritos > Cool Ranch Doritos. This time, Grohl proved his awesomeness by getting back behind the drums to play Little Richard’s “Lucille” during the band Sha Na Na’s warm-up set at the Grease Sing-a-Long at the Hollywood Bowl over the weekend. The band, of course, took on the name Johnny Casino and the Gamblers for the classic John Travolta film and was responsible for six songs on the soundtrack. But as random as this seems, the collaboration makes perfect sense – Sha Na Na frontman John “Jocko” Marcellino is Grohl’s uncle-in-law. See? You learned something new today.

Taylor Swift Fans Threatened Clothing Designers Over A Joke T-Shirt
17 jul 2013 18:13

The above tank top is available at Bad Kids Clothing for $19.99 and you can grab it in pretty much any size and five different colors. It’s the perfect way to tell people that you like making fun of Taylor Swift’s dating past and also feel like showing off your sculpted guns. You’re hip, young and relevant, and you don’t have a care in the world. Except maybe some seriously pissed off Swift fans (AKA Swifties), as they’ve allegedly been going after Bad Kids Clothing’s founders, Lex Houser and Andi Cross, for cracking wise at their pop idol’s expense. According to the pair of 26-year old party lifestyle and dance music enthusiasts, Swifties are mad with power after forcing Abercrombie and Fitch to take its own Taylor Swift shirt off the market, so they have no problem going after these small-timers. The only problem is… they’re not going to cave to the prepubescent pressure. “They keep telling me to take it off the site, but it wasn’t on the site, so I guess they wanted me to take down the picture [from Instagram],” Houser explains. “So I took down the picture–I don’t really care–and then they kept going. It got worse and worse.” “Finally I just responded to one and I was like, ‘It’s gone, what do you want?’ And they were like, ‘Oh, you think just because it’s gone that this is over? Just wait until you see what happens to you.’”

Mary-Louise Parker May Quit Acting Because the Internet Is Cruel
17 jul 2013 18:01

Former ‘Weeds’ star Mary-Louise Parker says she’s pretty close to quitting acting, mainly because the internet is full of meanies. Parker, who is in not one but two movies coming out on July 19 (‘Red 2′ and ‘R.I.P.D.’), told News Corp Australia, “I’m not really that into [acting] anymore. I don’t know how many more movies I wanna do. I wouldn’t mind doing a TV show again, I’d like to do a couple more plays, but I’m almost done acting, I think.” Read: “Eventually, when I’m bored with acting, I think I’ll quit acting.” And why would she walk away? Lamented MLP, “The world has gotten too mean for me, it’s just too bitchy. All the websites and all the blogging and all the people giving their opinion and their hatred … it’s all so mean-spirited, it’s all so critical.” “It’s sport for people, it’s fun to get on at night and unleash their own self-loathing by attacking someone else who they think has a happier life – or something, I dunno.” While Parker is self-admittedly “thin-skinned,” she says if you haven’t been the subject of such nastiness, you might have trouble sympathizing: “You can say ‘Oh I let it roll off my back’ and ‘I wouldn’t take it personally’, but you have no idea until it happens to you. It doesn’t feel nice.” When asked what she might do if she retired, Parker said, “I would write, still. I write for Esquire (magazine) and writing makes me happy. I would take care of my kids and my goats. That’s about it. Bake. Throw my internet in the lake.” And after throwing her internet box in the lake, MLP would live a quiet life, free from online bullying. You know, after a few more movies, a television series and maybe a couple of plays. We’ll miss you, Nancy Botwin!

Robert Downey Jr., Channing Tatum and Hugh Jackman: Best Paid Actors
17 jul 2013 17:57

Things are going well for the super-heroic hunks of Hollywood, with ‘Iron Man’ portrayer Robert Downey Jr., White House savior Channing Tatum and Wolverine himself — Hugh Jackman — landing the top three spots on the list of Tinseltown’s highest paid actors. Forbes tallied up earnings between June 2012 and June 2013 and found that RDJ came out on top at $75 million — which, when you remember he starred in six big-budget blockbusters that each made $500 million, with ‘The Avengers’ and ‘Iron Man 3′ earning over $1 billion — shouldn’t come as any surprise. Meanwhile, the current Sexiest Man Alive (admit it, you’d let him Channing all over your Tatum) came in at No. 2 with earnings of $60 million, largely because he helped fund ‘Magic Mike’ and thus pocketed a big chunk of the movie’s $167 million box office take. Hugh Jackman rounded out the top three, bringing in $55 million for his work as Wolverine and in ‘Les Miserables,’ the latter of which earned him his first Academy Award nomination and his first Golden Globe win. Here’s the whole list of Hollywood’s top male earners:

CELEB NEWS! Adam Levine Engaged to Supermodel Behati Prinsloo
17 jul 2013 17:49

Congrats to Adam Levine! The Maroon 5 singer, who goes through supermodels like water, is now engaged to on-again off-again — currently very much on-again — love Behati Prinsloo. Levine, 34 popped the question to Prinsloo, 24, over the weekend, his rep told PEOPLE. “Adam Levine and his girlfriend Behati Prinsloo are excited to announce they are engaged to be married,” his mouthpiece said. “The couple recently reunited and Adam proposed this weekend in Los Angeles.” The pair first began dating last year, but split in the spring. Levine was linked to fellow model Nina Agdal before reuniting wit Victoria’s Secret Angel Prinsloo — who is well-acquainted with another one of his exes, Anne Vyalitsyna (Anne V). Here’s hoping they can stick it out this time. Last we checked the only part of the Victoria’s Secret catalog you were supposed to recycle was the paper.

10 Reasons You Need to Stop Complaining About Summer Right Now
17 jul 2013 17:47

“It’s so hot outside.” “Can’t summer be over?” “UGH. So hot outside. Thanks, Obama.” That’s what you think you sound like right now. “Blahblahblah mememe moomoomoo” is what your constant summer griping actually sounds like to me. Maybe instead of complaining about how bright the sun is (are you serious?), you should be thankful that you don’t have to wear pants for at *least* two more months. No pants. And this does not only apply to ladies. If I saw a dude in a skirt right now, first I would probably think “Hey dude, Bonnaroo was several weeks ago and in a different state,” but then I would probably think “Right on, sir. Right on.” Also, did it not occur to you that 95 degree weather is a permission slip for unlimited tiki drinks? Seriously, everybody needs to stop complaining about summer. Right now. Here’s why.

Lithuanian-born, Switzerland-based photographer Gus Petro took a trip to America in 2012, in search of something new, and made two contrasting stops—the Grand Canyon and New York City—that has inspired his three-part series known as Empty, Dense, Merge. In Empty, Petro captures the vacant landscape emitting a sense of peace and solitude. Alternatively, Dense presents the crowded urban landscape of the Big Apple that seemed almost entirely manmade and hard.

Incredible Red Beach in Panjin, China
17 jul 2013 13:39

Sand is probably the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about beach. However, this is not the case with the Panjin Red Beach in China, which is, actually, red, and not covered in sand at all. Such phenomena is caused by a type of sea weed Sueda. It starts growing during April and May, then stays green during the summer, but starts turning vividly red in autumn. The Red Beach is located in the biggest wetland and reed marsh in the world, and actually hosts the most completed ecosystem that can be found: the area has become home to more than 260 kinds of birds and 399 kinds of wild animals. You can find the endangered Crown Cranes and Black Beaked Gulls there, which is why the area is even called “home of the cranes”.

Make Sand Castles At Your Desk

Want to build sand castles but don’t want to go outside in the hot, hot sun? Too bad! Just kidding, that’s totally possible thanks to Sand by Brookstone. It looks and feels like sand, but functions a bit like silly putty, letting you shape it into anything you can imagine. Surely this stuff is made of magic right? Nope, it’s actually 98% sand and 2% polymer. And unlike regular sand (which is actually 98% sand and 2% broken glass, trash, and stuff that makes you say, “Ew what is that?”) it won’t stick to you, dry out, or make a mess.

Sooo Ironic: Hipster Superheroines

Ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife isn’t ironic so much as it is just bad luck. Amrite? Imrite. Artist Elizabeth Beals illustrated this series of DC Comic superheroines as hipsters. There’s Wonderwoman, Catwoman, Supergirl, and more! So many more. Okay, more like 4 more. The ladies are all dressed up in the typical hipster garb aka cheap thrift shop finds paired with overpriced shit you can buy at Urban Outfitters. All these hipster-heroines are missing is a pack of American Spirits, a 12-pack of PBR, and a fixie. Oh, plus a dose of pretension and slightly inflated ego.

Giant Dragon Skull Appears on Charmouth Beach

On an ordinary day in Dorset, on Charmouth beach, visitors were surprisingly met with an enormous skeletal remain of what appears to be… a dragon? The Jurassic skull, said to be the size of a London bus, seems to have appeared out of nowhere. Now, the beach, which is "famous for its treasure trove of dinosaur fossils," certainly has an easy find for fossil hunting archeologists, though they may be dismayed to find that the "artifact" is, in fact, a sculpture.

The 8 Most Recognizable Guitar Riffs Of The 2000s
16 jul 2013 16:55

There's a difference between "good" and "recognizable." Not that the two can't be mutually exclusive, but, well, let's put it this way: you'd probably notice Kim Kardashian in a crowd before you would Vince Gilligan, not because you think she's somehow "better" than him, but because she's Kim Kardashian, magazine star/The Soup punching bag, and he's Vince Gilligan, the humble, pasty showrunner. Kim is the "recognizable" -- Vince is the "good." Today, in taking a look at some of the most immediately discernible guitar riffs of the 2000s, I want to stress that just because Metallica or Mastodon aren't on this list doesn't mean they can't still write the crunchiest of motherf*cking riffs (they can); it's because nothing, for instance, Metallica has released this century is as rapidly perceptible to the general listening public as what Muse put to the tape back in 2001. Though the Muse riff is great.

You Can't Hide From 'The Wolverine' Videos

The Wolverine opens in fewer than two weeks, but we feel as though we’ve seen it already after the many trailers, clips, and featurettes released so far. Now Fox has released four more clips for us to nervously watch while muttering, “please don’t suck, please don’t suck“. It isn’t exactly reassuring that the Viper takes off the same glove twice in the last clip. As for the other clips, they show the meeting of Wolverine and Harada (The Silver Samurai), the meeting of Wolverine and Yukio (dude loves to meet new and interesting people), and what we assume is a nightmare sequence involving Jean Grey. Am I supposed to laugh at that Jean Grey clip? Were they trying to make it not seem cheesy? To quote Jean Grey, it’s too late.

This Is What Beauty Treatments Looked Like In The 1900's
16 jul 2013 16:34

These days its rare to find a celebrity who hasn’t undergone some form of plastic surgery, from tummy tuck, breast implants, facelift, nose jobs and eyebrow lifts are part and parcel of our ongoing question to remain youthful. But back at the beginning of the 20th century, whilst the desire for everlasting youth and enduring beauty were a constant, it certainly took a vastly different form. During the 1900′s-1920′s, individuals continued to be heavily influenced by Victorian societies belief that it was simply your ‘duty’ as a woman to look beautiful. It wasn’t a choice, it was a lifestyle, one which had an entire industry of tools, devices and machines designed to help you keep up with others expectations. And it was those ‘beauty treatments’ that continued to be peddled and pushed to whole new generation of consumers at the beginning of the 20th century. And whilst these days women might dabble in facial scrubs, cucumber eye patches and the occasional Botox injection – their predecessors had to endure all manner of wacky devices with the sole aim of conforming to the superficial and transient whims of their peers. It’s a peculiar look into our past and our enduring obsession with perfection.
