Stephen Moyer Kisses His 'Bitch' Alexander Skarsgard

Posted: 10 Dec 2010 11:20 AM PST


True Blood stud Stephen Moyer gloats over his costar Alexander Skarsgard after Team Bill edged ahead of Team Eric in the fundraising contest. The duo raised $70k during this “Battle of the Fangs,” which will all go to a Gulf Aid charity. Still…Team Bill? REALLY? I imagine there was just one really rich fan who has a preference for terrible accents in their bloodsucker.

Gallery: The Best Movie Merchandise From Our Childhood

Posted: 10 Dec 2010 10:03 AM PST

In Mel BrooksSpaceballs, there’s a scene when Lone Star finally comes across Yogurt (the yoda parody played by Brooks himself) and asks him what the power of the universe is. “Merchandising!” Yogurt replies, and proceeds to show him all the toys and apparel that Spaceballs will be able to sell to children after the movie.

It’s a pretty meta-moment in typical Brooks’ style, but one that spoke to me even as a kid. Because obviously, I wanted every crappy piece of plastic that was stamped with the logo of my favorite films, TV shows, and Sega games.

But they weren’t all terrible. Here were some legitimately awesome movie and TV merchandise that I wish my parents’ had bought for me. Are we missing any? Tell us your favorites in the comments!

  • Gremlin's Backback
  • Jurassic Park Candy
  • Home Alone's Talkboy
  • Auto-Morphin Alarm Clock
  • Ghostbuster's projector
  • Star Wars Lightsaber
  • Nickelodeon GAK
  • Teenage Mutant Turtle Shoes
  • Pee-Wee Talking Doll

Lost In Translation: Jealousy Isn't Allowed In This Hook Up

Posted: 10 Dec 2010 10:52 AM PST

(Lost in Translation is our weekly column from a college guy's perspective.)

Jealousy is getting to be a problem in my life. I've never been one of those guys who doesn't understand or appreciate jealousy. You know, the guy who seems all confused when his current hook-up hysterically storms toward her friends huddled around a table of kamikaze shots after seeing you talking with Emily, the girl you hooked up with long before ever meeting your newest squeeze. Actually, I happen to have a very formidable jealous bone myself, and I’ve learned to ignore it. For instance, I didn't like it at all when I see a new Facebook album from the one night I didn't go out last week, (aptly named We Didn't Start the Fire… by that bitch of a friend of yours Farrah) pops up on my news feed and Derrick from your Stat Class is hanging all over you in every other picture.

But let's face it: Farrah never really liked me much. I guess I should have been more careful of your shared toilet seat, which you’ve been more than clear that I've apparently vandalized a few times with stray streams of piss. Between that and the thin walls between your bedrooms, I've always felt her eyes boring into me whenever I stumble out in the morning for a glass of water to wash down that handful of Tylenol. And her comments about how "you two are sooooooooooooooo cute together – xo" don't make her and my friendship, if that is what it is, any better.

But I'm a big boy, and you and me, well, we're just hooking up, and nothing more. I understand that I don't have all too much room to wiggle around and make a fuss about Derrick, or even Farrah. I’ve done that before. And I’ve learned that if I did ever, drunkenly or not, spout out the way I actually feel, you might end up turning the tables to ask what we are, which is not good. Not good at all.

Jealously is never a good card to play in a hookup. NEVER. Where we just so happen to be standing (which is more often than not in a small puddle of drunkenly spilt beer and shots in a sauna-esque, saloon-style bar), is not the place, nor time, to be raising that objection. 'Cause there are far too many other players who just need a nudge to take control of the joystick, in more ways than one. I don't care if Farrah told you that I didn't pay enough attention to you and that you need to make me prove to you that I like you. I think you're great and all, but, let's face it, neither of us see this, whatever it is, going on more than a week after graduation, if it even makes it through Christmas break.

Sex with you is fun. All sorts of fun. And those new positions we have been finding ourselves in? Those are just awesome. But sex in general, with other girls, is fun as well. And as seniors in college, that kind of sex is all but guaranteed for only a half a dozen more months before we have to actually start traveling to get laid, or frequenting bars with twenty-something bankers, and I'm not sure if my lousy paycheck from wherever hires me is going to hold up very well next to theirs. So I don’t mean to be harsh, but you should know that I plan to spend money on a lot of other girls after college. And bringing up the jealousy thing is only going to make that happen faster.

Very Mary-Kate Presents: Teacher-Bodyguard Conference

Posted: 10 Dec 2010 07:33 AM PST

Are the Olsen twins still at NYU? That doesn’t sound right. Oh well, we’re willing to suspend our disbelief for Elaine Carroll’s continuously awesome series Very Mary-Kate. In this reality, Mary-Kate Olsen still goes to school, and somehow manages to retain the world’s hottest bodyguard as a replacement parent. How do we get one of those again?

Watch more of Elaine Carroll’s very funny Very Mary-Kate videos here.

Celebrity Lookalikes: 'Community' Stars And Their Claymation Replicas

Posted: 10 Dec 2010 10:41 AM PST


Last night was the super special all-claymation episode of Community! And we got to see animated Troys and Jeffs take a tour through Abed’s animated mind. We were amazed how beautiful the claymation was, and surprised how well the figures replicated their cast member counterparts. The holiday ep left us with only one question: Who’s cuter? The real actors or their animations?

  • Clay Britta with Gillian Jacobs.
  • Donald Glover next to a drummer boy Troy.
  • Annie plus Alison Brie.
  • Joe McHale's Jeff figure is terrifying.
  • Danny Pudi and a clayed-out Abed.

David Hasselhoff: Good For Eating Cheeseburgers And Hanging On My Wall

Posted: 10 Dec 2010 11:17 AM PST

By now you have probably heard the sad/good news that David Hasselhoff’s daughters’ guilt show The Hasselhoffs has been canceled by A&E after only two episodes. It  looks like The Hoff’s brand of campy self-deprecation doesn’t stack up with the viewers the same way rubbernecking shows like The Jersey Shore can manage.

Which is probably a good thing, since The Hasselhoffs was giving us visions of The End of Days. But it has got us thinking: Why don’t the millions of people who watched The Hoff drunkenly devour a cheeseburger want to see him in a reality show? Here’s a clue: sobriety doesn’t sell.

David Hasselhoff is his own franchise. And while his Baywatch fame may be waning, he’s managed to insert himself in the world’s consciousness through many weird and repeated outbursts. Self-mockery has never been beneath him, which has come in handy often.

But The Hasselhoffs on A&E brought in pretty terrible numbers. The first episode had only 718,000 viewers. And the second had only 505,000 viewers.

Which is weird, because people love watching The Hoff be a train-wreck. Videos of David Hasselhoff drunkenly eating a cheeseburger on YouTube have generated MILLIONS of page views.

This show however, tried to paint The Hoff as a dad trying to make good. His daughters have been dealing with his addictions for their entire life, and now The Hoff was trying to use his fame to help their careers. Sadly for his daughters’ Hollywood ambitions, watching The Hoff try to parent responsibly isn’t as appealing to viewers.

When David Hasselhoff got the axe from Dancing With The Stars this season after only one dance, viewers were surprised that such a “big star” would get booted from the show so soon. But it looks people would rather watch The Hoff fail than succeed.

And every time that notion makes us sad, we’re just going to remember what it was like to actually watch The Hasselhoffs. Ahh! So bad!

Alright, I’m back. If nothing else, there is one good thing that came from The Hasslehoffs. And that is this: the amazing calendar that A&E sent us to promote the show. On our wall right now, we’re looking at The Hoff shirtless with a surfboard in a Santa robe. And come May, we’ll have this to look forward to:

So hang in there, Hoff! Even if your show got canceled, you will live to judge another reality show contest. And if all else fails, there will always be space on our walls for your calendars.

Winona Ryder Confused By Definition Of 'Internet'

Posted: 10 Dec 2010 08:58 AM PST

Actress and shoplifter Winona Ryder doesn’t use the Internet, and she’s proud of it! At least that’s what she thinks, according to her recent Elle magazine interview:
“I have my email on my Blackberry, and that's about it,” the actress explained (we imagine with her tiny arms crossed, while nodding vigorously). Which is great except completely wrong.

Using your blackberry for email is using the Internet, meatball. Winona could say she doesn’t have much use for the web, which is where all the blogs and websites that write mean things about Winona live. But the actual Internet is the system of computers that allow things like emailing on your smartphone to actually exist.

Unfortunately Winona Ryder, you do use the Internet. And when the machines rise up and destroy all the humans, you’ll have wished you’d have known that difference when buying a GPS system for your car.
