The Daily WTF: Best Rally Sign Ever?

Posted: 01 Nov 2010 12:54 PM PDT


There are some amazing posters from the Stephen Colbert/Jon Stewart rally for to Restore Sanity and/or Fear that Liana almost went to. We scoured through a bunch of them, and seriously these just cut straight to the heart of the matter. Why else take a bus to D.C. on the Saturday of Halloween?

5 Actresses For Baz Luhrmann's 'Great Gatsby'

Posted: 01 Nov 2010 12:51 PM PDT

Calling all beautiful little fools: Baz Luhrmann’s prepping to begin directing his film adaptation of The Great Gatsby. He’s apparently set on Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby and Tobey Maguire as Nick Calloway — but what about Gatsby’s love, Miss Daisy Buchanan? Apparently, Baz is having a harder time finding the right woman. Rebecca Hall played the role at a reading, but the director has some other actresses in mind as well.

Reportedly, he’s considering Keira Knightley, Amanda Seyfried, Blake Lively, Abbie Cornish, Michelle Williams, Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman. Amanda gets our vote for the gal we can best see sinking her teeth into the iconic role, but since absolutely nobody asked us, here’s a list of five more actresses we’d like to see Baz consider for the part:

Leighton Meester: Forget Blake, Leighton’s the actress with the right kind of chops to play the charming yet vapid and emotionally stilted Daisy. It’d be like Blair Waldorf part deux.

Carey Mulligan: It would be interesting to see Carey take on a role that’s less grounded than the smart girls she normally plays. We think she’s make a darling Daisy.

Brie Larson: We think Brie is a terrific actress and we’d love to see her get some bigger roles. Luhrmann, are you listening?

Kate Bosworth: Can’t you just see Kate’s face lighting up the Gatsby one-sheet? Based on looks alone, she should be in the running.

Linsday Lohan: Seriously. We’re not kidding. We’ve always been huge fans of Lindsay as an actress and we’d love to see her get another big break. Once she’s out of rehab, of course.

My Girl’s a Republican from jeff on Vimeo.

Normally we’re not the biggest fans of jokey rap, but this song by sketch group It’s The Real is actually quite clever. And the video itself — featuring stick figure puppets of Glenn Beck and Dick Cheney — is super well made. So okay, we’re temporary converts to the religion of joke rap.

“My girl’s a Republican/She is so right-wing/Shakes what her momma gave her/Everything.”

Ahhhh! Don’t ever let anyone tell you Halloween isn’t absolutely terrifying. Watch Shaq, or “Shaqueeta,” as he was for the night, sing “Sweet Dreams” by Beyonce while decked out in a wig and a dress. Oh, Big Aristotle, you never let us down.

'Fred the Movie' and 3 Other Web Shows That Made It to TV

Posted: 01 Nov 2010 10:10 AM PDT


I’m sorry, is this real life? I hate to ask, but when I hear about Fred– that odd-voiced YouTube elf of a child that somehow garners millions of views for its tween star – I don’t think “Wow, this would make SUCH a great film!” Yet here we are, with Nickelodeon turning Fred into a show for their network. And they’re not the first to gamble on a web series paying off. Get your own ideas, Hollywood!

1. Boy Crazy – The latest in a string of blog-to-TV concepts, Showtime is picking up Alexi Wasser’s Boy Crazy for it’s new “provacative” lineup. It’s going to star Alexi, and therefore may look something like her web videos:

stupid gets ready: from alexi wasser on Vimeo.

2. Funny or Die Presents: Remember when HBO thought it was a good idea to bring Funny Or Die sketches, and basically all awesome comedians, onto one show? Whatever happened with that? Oh yeah, this.

3. The College Humor Show: Sad, because in general I really like watching a minute and a half of Jake and Amir. A 30-minute format though was just too much, and the show was canceled after half a season
