Seal and Heidi Klum Might Be Getting A Divorce

Posted: 21 Jan 2012 10:21 AM PST

It looks like Seal and Heidi Klum, who have been married for seven years, might be splitting for good. Reports are surfacing that one of them will be filling for divorce sometime next week.

Celebrity splits can normally fall into one of three categories; expected, inconsequential (aka shrug inducing), and sad, and this power couple dissolving definitely falls into the sad category.

The two have four kids and are known for the tradition of renewing their vows every year on their anniversary.

For every flurry of reports that a celeb marriage is ending that turn out to be true (like Ashton and Demi) there’s another week of divorce rumors that end in the couple laughing in our faces (Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith). I can’t help but hope Seal and Heidi are reading the headlines as they hang out with their kids, chuckling and planning their next vow renewal.

Check Out The Promo For The Grey’s Anatomy Alternate-Universe Episode

Posted: 20 Jan 2012 03:49 PM PST

Grey’s Anatomy has decided to shake things up by doing a “what if?” episode where everyone’s lives are different. In “If/Then,” Meredith‘s dating… a nerdy Alex? Addison and Derek (a.k.a. “McDreary”) are trying for a baby. Cristina has Meredith-esque hair. Lexi is a punk. Bailey is not “The Nazi” by any stretch of the imagination.

And we love it.

5 Vampire Thrillers More Exciting Than Underworld: Awakening

Posted: 20 Jan 2012 03:42 PM PST

I’ve never seen the appeal of the Underworld series that Kate Beckinsale stars in. Well, maybe the ones where she has hot sex scenes with Scott Speedman (or so I’ve heard), but he’s not back for the new movie Underworld: Awakening. All I know is that it’s yet another adventure/thriller where Kate plays vampire warrior Selene, who discovers that humans are trying to eradicate both vampires and werewolves.

Like we said: Meh. Here are five vampire tales that are more chilling and add more to the vampire mythos.

Twilight: The Musical Is Hilarious And Criticizes Bella Swan — What’s Not To Love?

Posted: 20 Jan 2012 03:04 PM PST

Earlier this week, we got to attend the staged reading of Twilight: The Musical, a fan-run parody of Stephenie Meyer‘s worldwide phenomenon. The project, which has been several years in the making, doesn’t just poke fun at the Edward/Bella/Jacob love triangle, but it also brings in Harry Potter characters for a commentary on popular YA books and what makes a compelling heroine.

Let me start by saying that this is a sharp, funny show populated with talented singers and dancers. Writer Ashley Griffin and her collaborators obviously know the series backwards and forwards, as the dialogue and songs especially are peppered with sly puns and references to obscure moments from the books. Yet it strikes the right balance by not alienating newbies… although let’s face it, nearly everyone at the reading must have been a genuine fan.

The musical was a success financially, as well: The one-night performance — plus the after party at Bar West End Grille with DJ Twist overseeing music – managed to raise over $3,000 for the charity Blessings In A Backpack!

We learned that while this musical has been in the works for several years, some of what we were seeing was completely new material thought up in the prior 24 hours of rehearsal. In addition to the eight actors — who winningly endured costume and wig changes to portray three times as many characters — there were five dancers showing samples of future choreography.

Twilight: The Musical blows through all four books in less than two hours, smartly spending the most time on Edward and Bella’s burgeoning romance from Twilight and the cracktastic plot of Breaking Dawn. Not surprisingly, the three leads were snappy and charismatic, yet they could also play the awkwardness of their characters for laughs. It’s exciting to see an actually strong Bella (played by Meghann Fahy, who made her Broadway debut in Next to Normal); Colin Hanlon (Rent, Wicked) and Jared Zirilli (Aida, Rent) upped the kitschiness to mock Edward and Jacob’s snarling feud over Bella.

The Golden Collar Awards Honor The Real Film Stars: Adorable Dogs

Posted: 20 Jan 2012 02:43 PM PST

The Golden Globe Award show this year was pretty entertaining, though most of its appeal came from the extreme photo bombing. Now, however, there’s been a new award created to honor the real stars of Hollywood: dogs. The Golden Collar Awards will be given out by Dog News Daily and will honor the pups that completely took your attention away from the more well known actors.

The front runner this year might be Uggie, aka the dog you were watching instead of listening to the Golden Globe acceptance speech when The Artist won best comedy. He’s been busy this year and was able to snag to nominations for his tail wagging and bounding in The Artist and Water For Elephants.

Uggie will compete against three of his fellow canine thespians, Cosmo in Beginners, Denver from 50/50 and Hummer from Young Adult.

That’s some stiff competition. I’m rooting for Denver, because he seemed the least loved (the character’s name was skeletor, not terribly cuddly). What’s more important is the Golden Collar star awarding some lifetime achievement awards, and like the Golden Globes extend into television.

I’ll start the TV nominations. Best dog in a television series: Stella from Modern Family. That’s a funny little bulldog.

First Look: Johnny Depp Looks Super Creepy In ‘Dark Shadows’

Posted: 20 Jan 2012 02:18 PM PST



Johnny Depp
has played a lot of creepy characters in a lot of creepy movies over the years with his bestie Tim Burton. A scissor man. A demonic barber. An overly chipper chocolatier. Through most of these incarnations he’s clung to a semblance of his overall attractiveness. Edward wasn’t cute, but he was endearing. Sweeney Todd was distinguished in a blood thirsty sort of way. Maybe Willy Wonka wasn’t very photogenic,but he’s Brad Pitt compared to the Depp character that was rolled out today.

Barnabas Collins, the vampire he’ll be playing in Dark Shadows is making me long for vampires that sparkle, but reminding me of the first time I tried to put on eyeshadow. It would be better if Depp looked menacing or sinister, but those weird Gothic Beiber bangs coupled with his sense of wonder at the sight of his brand new press on nails just makes him look kind of sad. An overgrown vampire toddler.

I have high hopes for Dark Shadows as a film. It co-stars Chloë Grace Moretz, who seems to be getting better with every role, and the triad of Depp, Bonham Carter, and Burton keepz pushing out classic cob-web strewn films. I just don’t know if I can take that face on a fifty foot screen.

O.J. Simpson Is Khloe Kardashian’s Father, Says National Enquirer

Posted: 20 Jan 2012 01:54 PM PST

I’d post this under “Fan Fiction” because of how ludicrous it is, but we can’t take credit: The National Enquirer is pushing a story that Khloe Kardashian‘s father is none other than acquitted killer O.J. Simpson. It’s the perfect soapy, fitting, fictional solution to the “who is Khloe’s dad?” controversy of the past few weeks.

You might remember that before the Kardashians were famous for Kim‘s sex tape, their family had a different notoriety: Dad Robert Kardashian was O.J.’s lawyer in his 1995 murder trial for the death of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson. The Kardashians were close friends with O.J. and Nicole, but the Enquirer claims that O.J. and Kris Jenner had an affair back in 1983, around the time that Khloe was conceived. Another source said, “O.J. bragged about his sex life and many female conquests, which he said included some of his best friends’ wives.”

Of course, the Kardashians have summarily denied this. Kris tweetedThanks for all your love and support today dolls! Wow some of the stories out there today are either fabricated, or SO 24 years ago!! LOVE U, while Khloe wroteAnd do they rumors ever stop? What is the recent obsession with all of this? What are they going to say next? #SoapOpera

This is what we imagine Khloe feels like right now:

She’s had a rough few weeks, and could use a laugh.

‘Jeff Who Lives At Home’ Trailer: ‘Step Brothers’ For Hipsters

Posted: 20 Jan 2012 01:11 PM PST

Jeff Who Lives At Home is a movie about Jeff, played by Jason Segel, who’s caught up in a sudden philosophical fever as he leaves his home in his mom’s (Susan Sarandon) basement on a quest for wood glue. On his way to get the glue he bumps into his brother (Ed Helms). Wackiness (deep, meaningful, poignant wackiness) ensues. It looks like it will have all the brotherly love and hate of Step Brothers, with heartfelt lessons about life and love instead of ball jokes.

For those not familiar with the tropes of meaning-in-everyday life indie films, here’s a quick rundown to decipher key moments in the trailer.

A man running to the sound of children’s voices singing an indie rock melody means he’s growing. You will never discover your true purpose in life unless you run as fast as you can down a suburban street to the sounds of Arcade Fire.

A man lying up and staring at the ceiling means he’s doing some deep thinking. If he was sad he’d be wrapped in a comforter, and if he was mad he’d be staring at a dripping facet. This is a so-so thinking position.

A seemingly serious car accident that actually has no physical repercussions means one or more of the people in the car is going to take a stand. This explains why they aren’t seriously injured, that would make the stand more difficult.

Overall Jeff Who Lives at Home looks less exciting then Jason’s upcoming The Five Year Engagement, but still worth checking out.
