Matt Damon Fights The Power In The First Clip From 'Elysium' (2 photo + 3 video)

Sony has released the first clip and two featurettes for Elysium, the second film from District 9 writer/director Neill Blomkamp. In the first video below, Matt Damon tries to deal with a bureaucratic robot who extends his parole and offers him pills to quell his human sarcasm. Ironically, we’d like to tell Sony to stop putting distracting hashtags on the screen for the entire duration of their clip, but we’d end up stuck in a hellish phone tree of an automated customer service system. The other two videos are featurettes about the droids of Elysium and the exoskeleton Damon wears to increase his strength and speed. Matt Damon describes the droids as “your worst kind of bureaucracy nightmare”. Definitely not the droids we’re looking for. Check out the videos below along with a new The Social Network-style poster. You don’t make 251,200 enemies without raiding an idyllic space station.

How An Adorable Redditor Became The Internet's Favorite Fake Porn Star (9 photo)

Now for the story of an attractive Redditor who attended a porn convention, sat down at an empty booth, and became the internet's favorite fake porn star overnight. It all began when Redditor "radicallay" attended the Exxxotica convention at the Chicago Rosemont (in my experience attractive women not in the industry swarm porn conventions). There she noticed an empty booth and sat down to take a load off (not literal phrasing, you guys), which started a chain of events that led to her sharing this message with r/funny: "So I found a deserted booth at a porn convention and sat down. Soon a bunch of people started approaching me for pics and now I'm getting random tags from strangers on Facebook." As you may have guessed people took notice, and then the following NSFW-ishness happened...

'Assassin's Creed IV' Continues To Look Damn Good In The Latest Video (1 photo + 1 video)

A couple weeks ago we brought you a nice, meaty video walkthrough of Assassin’s Creed IV’s new open world, and it was pretty impressive! The game’s world looks far more seamless than the segmented, loading-screen packed world of Assassin’s Creed III. Well, Ubisoft has just released another, even longer (as in, over 13-minutes) look at the world of Assassin’s Creed IV. Buckle you swashes and hit the jump for the video…

Aubrey Plaza Explains Her Recent Masturbation Scene (1 photo + 1 video)

When Aubrey Plaza started at Parks and Recreation, she was a pretty regular-looking woman with a deadpan delivery. She was funny, but I don’t remember many people swooning over her (UPDATE: New Aubrey Plaza GQ spread and trolling interview). It’s amazing how a little time changes things. Now, Plaza is a certified sex symbol. Maybe she’s the leading symbol of how “regular-looking women” are becoming more popular for men. Who knows. I just know I personally love her. And when she talks about a masturbation scene from her upcoming movie, The To-Do List, people listen. Dear brilliant movie execs, save all of your money on preview clips and trailers. Just play this clip and go sell some damn tickets. While you’re at it, get Conan a Pulitzer for asking these important questions.

Aubrey Plaza Got In A Bikini For GQ And Gave A Troll-y Interview (2 photo + 1 video)

As we’re all aware, Aubrey Plaza is all over the place as an interview subject. For every riveting masturbation scene discussion there’s being the most awkward person alive on Ellen. The great thing for us is every installment is entertaining as hell, even if the same can’t be said for her interviewers. And with The To-Do List opening Friday she’s out everywhere promoting, presenting various weird and oddly charming/attractive versions of herself to interviewers and audiences alike. Here are some exceptionally troll-y highlights from when she recently hung out with GQ’s Mark Byrne in a small town in upstate New York where she was shooting a movie. On why she’d be behaving that evening:

Justin Bieber's Monkey Finally Has A New Home (5 photo)

Pop star and SWAG ‘bag Justin Bieber purchased his pet capuchin monkey, “OG Mally Bieber”, back in March, just in time for the launch of his European tour. But when you’re 19-years old, you tend to forget things like the proper paperwork for bringing wild animals from country to country, so poor Mally was confiscated by the German government within days of Bieber getting him. The country’s officials gave the singer until May 7 to present them with the proper paperwork so he could reclaim his "beloved" new pet and continue about his tour. Except a funny thing happened on the way to the monkey detention center – Bieber never responded and just left Mally in Germany for good. Fortunately, the German officials have found a new home for the young monkey and he’s already the king of the Serengeti Park in Hodenhagen.

’90210′ Reunion at a Chippendales Show (4 photo)

Making good on their promise to see co-star Ian Ziering’s turn as a Chippendales dancer, Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth arrived in Las Vegas for a ‘Beverly Hills 90210′ reunion of awesome on Sunday (June 30). Also: shirtlessness. “Chippendales is a very interactive show and we managed to surprise them both by including them on stage in a few production numbers,” Ziering revealed to People. “I was very flattered by their comments. And judging by their reaction, I know they had a great time.” “We’ve always been very supportive of each others’ endeavors, and when they heard what I was up to, they wanted to come support. The fact that this new gig is Chippendales made it all the more easy to get them out to the Vegas,” Ziering added. We’re glad Doherty and Garth have put their long-standing feud behind them. As you’ll see in one of the photos below, they were even seatmates on the Vegas-bound plane. (Maybe Doherty finally realized that feuding and being sent packing from Aaron Spelling dramas is just in her DNA.) Check out more photos of the reunited (and it feels so good) castmates below, including at least one reason why Ziering’s turn with the all-male revue was extended through July 14.

Kate Upton’s Scene-Stealing Boobs Are Two Masses, Yearning to Be Free (6 photo)

Kate Upton is everywhere lately. So it’s no surprise that she’s been cast in ‘The Other Woman,’ a romantic comedy in which she and Cameron Diaz discover they are mistresses of Leslie Mann’s husband. But none of that is necessary to appreciate these pictures, because you’ll forget the plot in seconds.

New Movie Trailer: Captain Phillips, starring Tom Hanks (1 photo + 1 video)

This is going to sound weird, but I’ve always wondered what exactly goes on on those massive container ships going back and forth across the ocean carrying our iPads and illegal sex slaves. I mean how much work is there to do every day, really? Does the crew just play cards all day? Is there TV? Is it like being a pirate, only lazier? Because I could do that job. Anyway, Captain Phillips may not answer all those questions, but it does depict a container ship crew on a less-than-typical day, when they got boarded by Somali pirates in 2009. Based on the book by Richard Phillips, the captured captain of the Maersk Alabama – the first American cargo ship to get captured in 200 years, according to the synopsis – and directed by the Bourne series’ Paul Greengrass, it stars Tom Hanks as Captain Phillips and Johnny Depp in blackface as all of the pirates with supporting work by Hanks’ plucky first mate, a volleyball named Wilson (okay, part of that sentence may not be true). It doesn’t look all shaky-cammed to death like the Bourne movies, so at least there’s that.

Aaron Paul Will Call Your Wife A Bitch If You Ask Him To (2 photo + 1 video)

Vulture did an interview with Aaron Paul where the Breaking Bad star discussed his character’s affinity for the word “bitch,” and the effect it has had on him in his everyday life. The whole thing is interesting, mostly because Aaron Paul is a hyper-excitable dude who seems like a blast to interview, but my favorite part was this section, for about five or six different reasons. “So many people come up to me and say, ‘Please, just call me a bitch.’ Or on Twitter they’ll go, ‘It’s my wife’s birthday,’ or, ‘It’s our anniversary, will you please call my wife a bitch?’” Ever the gracious actor, he obliges. “I’ll send all these direct messages to random people with just the word bitch. People love it. It’s so funny.” Is it weirder to do it in person? “No, I just roll with it. I think it’s great. I mean, it can depend on the setting. If I’m at dinner that can be odd, but if I’m just running around … The most classic one was a few months ago when I was walking in London. I had just picked up a Gatorade at a little market and this guy screams out, ‘Gatorade me, bitch!’ and I turned and threw him the Gatorade. I went, ‘Yeah!’ threw it to him, and walked off. It was pretty great.” http://www.vulture.com/2013/05/breaking-bad-aaron-paul-on-his-bitch-legacy.html

'Scribblenauts' Being Sued By Nyan Cat And Keyboard Cat Owners (1 photo)

Apparently Keyboard Cat and Nyan Cat are owned by somebody, and those somebodies are very angry over Scribblenauts not paying up for their memes. If you’re not familiar with Scribblenauts, it’s a puzzle game where you write anything you can think of on the screen and it actually creates it in the game world. It’s very cute and surprisingly challenging, but apparently its use of memes has gone too far according to a few gentlemen. The gentlemen in question are Charles Schmidt and Christopher Orlando Torres, Keyboard and Nyan respectively, and they want, well, a lot of money: "Defendants are accused of shamelessly using identifying “Nyan Cat” and “Keyboard Cat” by name to promote and market their games. Plaintiffs claim that Warner Bros and 5th Cell’s trademark infringement was willful and intentional and are requesting an award of treble damages and requesting the case be deemed exception under 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a), thereby entitling Plaintiffs to an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees." The suit names both 5th Cell, the developer, and Warner Brothers, the game’s publisher. It’s a little late, if you were wondering: The game hit in 2009. It’s unfortunate that apparently a game can’t even make a pop culture reference anymore without being sued, but we’ll see how that works out legally: One suspects either the gentlemen in question won’t be able to prove they “own” the meme, or that a wild settlement will appear and magically end the battle. http://www.iptrademarkattorney.com/schmidt-v-warner-bros-meme-copyright-complaint.pdf

Kim K's Ex - Ray J, taunts Kanye West in New Track 'I Hit it First' (3 photo)

Ray J, an R&B singer who Kim Kardashian dated back in 2007, whose encounter resulted in the infamous Kardashian sex tape, is releasing a new single on April 9th, 'I Hit it First'. This supposedly takes a stab at Kanye West, who is currently dating Kim and awaiting a baby from her. TMZ was able to obtain some lyrics which allege more to the fact that the single is indeed about Kim: "She might move on to rappers and ballplayers but we all know I hit it first … But now baby chose to go West," are some of the words in the song. A TMZ source also says that the music video will feature a Kim K look alike.
