Countless film actors have starred in a number of biopics, depicting a range of historical and cultural figures, but how accurate is their physical likeness? By juxtaposing images of fully costumed actors with photos of the actual people they are modeled after, the viewer is given the opportunity to carefully assess the similarities.
It’s a sad day when your TV show gets cancelled, unless you’re ‘Friends’ star Matthew Perry. His recent — and well-received — series ‘Go On’ is sadly getting the boot. Surely congratulations are not in order…or so we thought. At a recent Los Angeles Kings game, the once-upon-a-time Chandler Bing was in attendance. During the game, he was interviewed by sideline reporter Dan Moriarty. All seemed to be going swell, with Moriarty asking Kings questions, but once he congratulated Perry on his show being axed by NBC, it got a little weird. Luckily, Perry’s quick on his feet and proceeded to make the situation as funny as ever afterwards. As the youth of America would say, this was an absolute EPIC FAIL.
Why watch ‘The Great Gatsby’ when you could watch ‘The Great Catsby’??? We had that same thought, bu Guyism went one step farther and created this mashup using the trailer’s audio and clips from ‘The Aristocats’ to make ‘The Great Catsby.’ At least, we’re pretty sure it’s a mashup. To be quite honest, it’s been so long since we’ve seen ‘The Aristocats,’ that it could actually be Disney’s retelling of ‘The Great Gatsby’ for all we know.
At long last, we have the hotly anticipated trailer for Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity. Aside from it being Cuarón’s first feature since 2006′s Children of Men, it reportedly has a 20-minute opening shot and while it was once set to star Robert Downey Jr. and Angelina Jolie, the parts ended up going to George Clooney and Sandra Bullock. I mean, that’s cool too, I guess. (*kicks can*). Finally, a use of Futura font that actually makes sense! Needless to say, Cuarón? In space? Oh, I’ll play your game, you rogue. But with big box office stars like George Clooney and Sandra Bullock on the bill, I’m a little surprised they went with the one-name, indie sci-fi name a lá Solaris or Moon and not something more commercial. Say, “Way Up in the Air,” or “The Blind Side of the Moon.” Yes, I’m a marketing genius. (*puts on foam cowboy hat marked “GENIUS,” pets cat*) “That debris’s changin’ yer lahfe…”
There are better movies than Space Jam. Lots of them. Hell, there are better movies within the genre of 90s kids' sports films (The Sandlot, definitely; Little Big League, probably; the first two Mighty Ducks movies, maybe). But that does not change the fact that I love Space Jam like a loyal family pet, and that I will always stop to watch it -- picking it up at any point -- any time I see it pop up on cable. And so, please allow me to take this opportunity to explain to you why I love it. You know what? I should do this as a list. People love lists. Especially when you're talking about something from the 90s. Yeah, let's do a list. FIVE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT SPACE JAM
When we last checked in on World’s Whitest Person Gwyneth Paltrow, she was dispensing her secrets for a successful relationship (more blowjobs, less arguing) in between getting a colonic and lecturing her gardener, Juan, on how juice cleanses and summers spent in chalets in the Swiss Alps are good for the complexion. And as you may have heard, when she’s not making the world a better place with her farts, Gwyneth has a website called Goop, where she teaches people how to be better at being white, or something, and apparently sells exceedingly white people things. For instance, the woman married to the Coldplay guy is currently selling stuff for your home bar on her site, stuff described on Goop as “unique accessories for the well-stocked bar.” Let’s sample the goods, shall we?
When he’s not busy chaperoning a floral sofa ’round town, Kanye West occasionally makes music. In fact, rumor has it that his much-anticipated follow-up to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy will drop this year, and last night, we heard our first listen to the record, courtesy of recent G.O.O.D. Music signee Hudson Mohawke. Should we name it Album of the Year now, or wait until we hear the Daft Punk collaboration?
We're all in agreement that Jessica Walter is television's all-time mom, correct? I mean, no contest really. I honestly can't even think of another TV mom I'd pit against her for the sake of debate. Between Lucille Bluth and Malory Archer she has delivered more joy to audiences -- usually at the expense of her fictional children -- than pretty much the rest of the lot combined. What a bunch of seawards her competition is. So with Mother's Day falling smack dab in the middle of our Arrested Development on Netflix final countdown, it would be silly to not revisit all the motherly pearls of wisdom the matriarch of the Bluth Family has delighted us with over the years. Here's to even more Lucille Bluth coming soon.

Professional wrestling is an industry comprised entirely of larger-than-life characters, so it’s no mean feat that Dwyane “The Rock” Johnson almost became the largest-than-life from the moment he stepped into the ring. The dude had, to paraphrase a classic David Lee Roth video, “char-as-ma.”
Gif's are often hilarious and awesome. Not always do Gif's work as they should. These Gif's were not created correctly and the results are a little freaky. These Gifs may creep you out and make you questions your sanity.
