Check out the Glee Superbowl opener. FOX is hoping to retain some football fans after the Superbowl this Sunday by opening the next episode of Glee by with this video of Sue Sylvester’s Cheerios dance to Katy Perry in bikinis with flaming hoola hoops. Sounds like a good plan to us. (EW)

Video: Did Tim & Eric Finally Outweird Conan?

Posted: 01 Feb 2011 10:38 AM PST

It’s hard to faze Conan O’Brien. Unlike Jay Leno or David Letterman, the prime-time talk show host not only courts bizarre guests, but openly cultivates his own brand of absurdest comedy (masturbating bear, anyone?).

So the challenge for weirdos extraordinaires Tim & Eric last night was, “How do you freak out the unflappable Coco?

We’re not even sure if they did. But they had a great strategy: play it (relatively) straight for 2.5 minutes, then leave, then come back, then just cut the interview off at the 5 minute mark. It at least threw Conan off his game for a second, which means that Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim have officially “won” and now Conan will have to appear on their Adult Swim show. That’s how these things work, right?

Rihanna Isn't Embarrassed By Nude Photos. Why Should She Be?

Posted: 01 Feb 2011 10:16 AM PST

It appears that Rihanna has taken a queue from the bucket list we wrote this spring:  there are new semi-nude photos of her floating around online again. And she doesn’t seem to mind. Why? Because she looks good in them.

Late last week, MediaTakeout published some new cellphone pics of Rihanna scantily clad. And then a fan of Rihanna’s decided to ask her straight up if they were her. Was Rihanna embarrassed? Doesn’t look like it. Rather than ignore the tweet, she responded, saying that yeah, that was her “When I was skinny!”

Good for Rihanna! If you’re going to send your boyfriend sexy pics of yourself, you’ve got to be prepared for other people to see them. Especially when you’re a celebrity, any nakedness that can get out, will get out. So why not own your photos?

That’s exactly what our own Kat Rosenfield recommended last year:

“Your body is beautiful. Really, it is. And it doesn't matter whether you're plump or slender, reedy or Rubenesque; your whole self — top to toe — deserves its day in the spotlight… And when you see those photos in the days, months and years that follow, it'll be with a lasting appreciation for your body as the glorious, gorgeous machine it is.”

Besides, if we had to rank glorious body machines, Rihanna would be pretty close to the top. So good for her.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone's 'The Book Of Mormon': Social Commentary That's Actually Good?

Posted: 01 Feb 2011 10:11 AM PST

Directed by Robert Lopez (of Avenue Q fame), The Book Of Mormon could have easily been a historical farce of the story of Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism (for whom South Park has already devoted an entire episode). Growing up in Utah, both Trey and Matt obviously have some axe to grind with the religion, although they both said during the Q&A session after rehearsal, that Mormons are the nicest people in the world.

“They aren’t the people who have a problem with our work,” said Matt Stone, “…and they are fascinating because they really are that nice.”

So what is The Book Of Mormons about? The problems in Northern Uganda, mainly. And AIDS. And two mismatched Mormon missionaries who are dropped into a culture whose own version of “Hakuna Matata” translates into “Fuck You God.”

Although the preview we saw was only 25 minutes (“You’ll know when it’s over because everyone will sing ‘c*nt’ and then take a bow,” Trey said as way of introduction), it was obvious that the songs in the show dug a little deeper than the flippant “Blame Canada” of the duo’s earlier work.

Video: Pauly D And The Situation Have Bieber Fever

Posted: 01 Feb 2011 09:11 AM PST

MTV is doing what it does best: pimping out the stars of The Jersey Shore to promote products. This time, it’s Justin Bieber’s new movie Never Say Never. Both Pauly D and The Situation have filmed ads for the Biebs. But I’m posting Pauly D’s video because he has traded in his trademark blowout for Bieber’s famous hairdo, in efforts to get people into theaters to watch the mini pop star’s documentary.

What’s that you say? It’s ridiculous for a 16-year-old to be the subject of a documentary? Ha. You’ve probably never seen the footage of the Biebs playing drums as a tiny toddler then This shiz is cuter than that movies Babies. Follow through to the bottom of this post to check that out.

PS: I want to rent a baby Biebs. That’s a service I can get, right?

The Daily WTF: Tyler Perry, Your Black Swan Is Perfect...

Posted: 01 Feb 2011 09:09 AM PST


Wait, wasn’t this just a Weekend Update segment? We know this poster is only a “goof” for Medea’s Big Family, but damn, Tyler Perry, at this point we don’t know what’s more obvious: That you feel that the Academy overlooks African-American filmmakers in their award shows, or that you are the Ed Woods of our generation. And not just because your films have shitty special effects.

Rihanna's New Video Is Chock-Full of 'S&M'

Posted: 01 Feb 2011 08:47 AM PST

Whips and chains and ball gags, oh my! That’s what you get when you call as song ‘S&M.’ Who know Rihanna was such a fetishist? Or maybe she’s just doing it for attention?

Why 'James Franco Presents' Is Really About The James Franco Problem

Posted: 01 Feb 2011 08:45 AM PST

Yale’s Drama Coalition is putting on a musical! A musical called James Franco Presents!. That would be a cute commentary on Franco’s ridiculous ubiquity, if the actor didn’t actually go to Yale and wasn’t producing (but not directing or writing) the feature. Now it’s just another crazy, half-baked notch in the Academy Award host’s belt. Here’s the official description:

“James Franco Presents” is the story of a girl dealing with the realities of love and life once she realizes she can’t hide behind the wonderful fantasies of fiction. A comedic drama, this musical incorporates film and live musical theater to tell the story of a cast struggling to write and produce a musical that is grounded in high school realities but with a sci-fi twist. Sex, blood, and surrealism to be expected.

Ruh-roh. Is this the story of a girl in a fantasy world, or a meta-play about a cast struggling to write a musical that will ultimately become “James Franco Presents?” Also: Is it going to be about Twilight?

See, the problem here isn’t just that the pseudo-intellectual farce that Franco trades in seems to be spreading around his campus like wildfire – in fact, one could make the argument that Franco’s whole blurring of reality and fiction is more a product of a post-modern education than him imposing his views on a Ivy League theater troupe – but that these classmates of Franco have found the ultimate way to suck up to the star in their midst. We thought Franco’s whole thing was about flying under the radar at Yale? If he really didn’t want his fame to get in the way of his education, than he’d never allow his name to be attached to this product.

Then again, Franco has a way of turning the tables on classmates who try to trade off his celebrity status.

So! Who’s buying the tickets?!

Okay, so we might not be the biggest fans of sports movies in the world. They’re full of dumb cliches, or people trying to break through those dumb cliches, even those cliches are ultimately true because that’s what good sports coaches do– serve up cliches in meaningful ways? Who knows, we’ve never played a sport in our lives.

However, there is a reason we watch movies like The Mighty Ducks and The Natural: the really, really hot guys. Can’t spell sports without “short-shorts,” you know! (Yes you can.) Here’s our tribute to the beautiful, muscly men of sports movies.
