SUPERCUT: People In Movies Always Hang Up Without Saying “Goodbye”

Posted: 12 Apr 2011 09:08 AM PDT

Here’s a huge collection of people in movies hanging up the phone without saying “bye.” It’s a great observation with many examples, but if these internet supercuts continue at their current pace and increasing rate of specificity, within three years, all supercuts will have to take place on the molecular level. And if you think that sentence makes no sense, then just WAIT THREE YEARS and you’ll see.

As for this supercut, how bout the MANNERS on these movie people? Were you all raised in a movie barn where the farmers don’t say “bye” to the animals?

Joe Manganiello Remains Gentlemanly Despite Attack By Mad Woman

Posted: 12 Apr 2011 08:16 AM PDT

As has now been established, I was commissioned by Logo to do backstage interviews at this year’s 2011 NewNowNext Awards. And I remember thinking, at the end of the night, “Good job, Collins! You were funny and professional. Everyone loves you!” Note that I have never before had this thought in my entire life.

Today, the video footage has emerged from that evening. My interviews with some of the Backstreet Boys, New Kids On The Block, True Blood’s Joe Manganiello and Kristin Bauer, some Angry Birds and about a million drag queens. And it’s like “Ohhh, you were foaming at the mouth. Well done.” Maybe it was the coffee, or the vodka, or the kilo of Hillbilly Heroin I had with me, but I was out of control.

My first indication that something was probably wrong with me for life was watching my interaction with the very hot, very tall Joe Manganiello from True Blood. I think forcing a celebrity to make eye contact with you is probably a good thing, right?

Ahead, me taking BSB’s A.J. McLean’s last name a bit too seriously as I “McLean” my entire body on his shoulder while also interviewing NKOTB’s Jon Knight and Joey McIntyre. Slight possibility I drunkenly offered to be Jon’s surrogate at the afterparty (100 percent possibility). He didn’t not accept… which means I am heading to the printer to get our “New Kid On The Block” birth announcements ready to go, just in case.

How much do I adore BSB and NKOTB? Uhhhh like a ton. But even more so after this interview, where the guys and I share a special, touching moment together — not sarcastic on this one either.

For the rest of the backstage videos, click here and enjoy!!

Grape-Sized Turtle Looks Cute Enough To Accidentally Eat

Posted: 11 Apr 2011 10:01 PM PDT

In all my years of being human, I never knew it was possible for turtles to be the size of a single grape. Then I saw this photo of a one-month old Egyptian tortoise at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo in Bedfordshire, and was like “Wait a minute: I almost definitely have eaten one of these on accident.” Thankfully (or not, really), these small turtles are endangered, which means he’s getting the best of care at the zoo. They even built a miniature home for him, where he likes to walk from the kitchen to the living room at roughly .00000000000926 MPH.

I want to hug him, but I know deep down I would kill him. This is my curse.

I’ll Bet You Can’t Guess Why These Dancers Are Dancing

Posted: 12 Apr 2011 07:36 AM PDT

Here’s a mob of London West End Dancers randomly gathering yesterday for a spontaneous public dance performance. See if you can guess what they’re dancing for!

Answer is after the jump:

ANSWER:

“146 West End Stars hold a flashmob in support of the non-profit organiztation Love 146, which campaigns to end child sex slavery and exploitation, at Trafalgar Sqaure on April 11, 2011 in London, England.”

They’re dancing to end child sex slavery! A thing that I am very much in favor of ending, but also the last thing I think about when I see a bunch of happy theater dancers lifting each other and Godspell-ing.

I’ll bet those random passers-by feel stupid in retrospect for hooting and hollering then moving on to the next tourist attraction without ever realizing that they were just asked to help end child sex slavery. Maybe they should make the message clearer by throwing in ninety more minutes of jazzhands?

Nailed It: Best Royal Wedding Souvenir Ever

Posted: 12 Apr 2011 07:28 AM PDT

I am being totally serious when I say that I need these on my nails YESTERDAY. They are even better than the Royal Wedding condoms! (Side note: what if one of those condoms broke? Would you be obligated to name your kid Kate or Will?)

If you are getting married soon, I recommend having these decals as part of your gift to your guests (Of your own faces, though I doubt anyone would be opposed to having Kate and Will’s faces instead). Eff personalized M &M’s.

Thanks to Luanne Rice, author of the new book The Silver Boat, for alerting me to this genius.

6 Minutes Of Wildy Impressive Animatronics

Posted: 11 Apr 2011 02:07 PM PDT

There is a man named John Nolan. He is and animatronics expert and has worked on many movies including a couple of Harry Potters and Where the Wild Things Are. Below is a reel of some of his creations in various stages of development. Here are four thoughts you might have while watching it:

1.) That robot baby looks way too much like a real baby.

2.) Those double butt mouths look way too much like double butt mouths.

3.) When can I get some big robot hands?

4.) Is the guy with the belly an animatronics thing or a weird porn thing I’m not ready for?

Thanks, The Daily What.

Adam Lambert Charms And Disarms At The 2011 NNN Awards

Posted: 11 Apr 2011 06:47 PM PDT

Earlier, we brought you a preview of our backstage interview with Adam Lambert at the NewNowNext Awards, which airs tonight on Logo at 10 PM ET and streaming online at LogoTV.com. Now, we bring you the whole interview… or at least most of it. (I think our editor had the good graces to edit out roughly 90 minutes of me just stroking his buttery-soft distressed leather sleeve while I stared at him with my lips tucked into my gums.)

Adam was kind enough to wear a chic platform boot with which to offset the heels I had on my own very tall body, giving me the perfect eye-to-eye dynamic to ask the real tough questions… Like, “What does sploshing mean?” and “If I Google ‘sploshing,’ will I be scarred for life?” The answer is: Probably. Here’s the interview!

EXCLUSIVE: First Pic Of Benicio Del Toro’s New Baby!

Posted: 11 Apr 2011 03:07 PM PDT

Benicio Del Toro and Kimberly Stewart, daughter of Rod Stewart, are having a baby! Even though this news was just announced today, our BWE “tipsters” — not just us making sh*t up — have uncovered this EXCLUSIVE first picture of the duo’s little bundle of joy.

Benicio & Kimberly Baby Pic is After The Jump:

CUUUUUUUTEEE!!!! She already has her mother’s eyes, and her father’s moon-induced bloodlust.

(For the record, I learned that the best part of making a Benicio Del Toro “werewolf” joke is that you don’t have to search for a specific Benicio Del Toro photo to make it work, literally any photo of him fits the joke perfectly. The more you know!)

PREVIEW: Adam Lambert Teaches Me About Slaloming At The NNN Awards

Posted: 11 Apr 2011 02:42 PM PDT

Tonight at 10 PM ET, Logo and LogoTV.com will air the 2011 New Now Next Awards, honoring the best and brightest stars of the future. And I was there!! Doing backstage interviews alongside Lauretta Vaughn with some of the presenters and nominees. You can see all of our interviews tonight during the livestream over at LogoTV.com, with stars such as the Backstreet Boys, NKOTB, Joe Manganiello and a parade of Rupaul’s Drag Queens.

Here, we bring you a preview of our interview with our beloved man-made singing machine, Adam Lambert, who wore a platform boot specifically to make me feel like a petite angel (or at least I like to think this was the reason.) In this preview, Adam teaches me some very choice terminology that mine virgin ears had never before heard… words like “Slaloming”… and “Sploshing.” It’s education really.

Ahead, some preview pics from my interviews, where in my manicness, I look more blurry pasty white sasquatch than anything else. (I will never be able to look Joe Manganiello in the eyes again.) And we’ll be bringing you clips of these interviews all this week, so stay tuned!

Here I am looking fairly normal/star struck meeting the hot as sh*t Joe Manganiello, who you might know from True Blood, or, if you’re me, as Flash Thompson in Spiderman. I was really proud of myself for keeping it together…



Until I saw this photo of myself impersonating meth head Intervention footage. Why am I this way? Why?


Doing the same “Collins Blur” while I McLean on A.J. McLean from the Backstreet Boys, next to Jon Knight and Joey McIntyre of New Kids On The Block.



I met the Angry Birds!! And yes… they’re gay.


And me and my co-host, after 900 drinks. Watch the show tonight!!

New Website Raises Money To Send M. Night Shyamalan Back To Film School

Posted: 11 Apr 2011 01:35 PM PDT

Ripping on M. Night Shyamalan is so fish-in-a-barrel and so dead-horse-beating and so every other easy to make fun of animal expression, but I still couldn’t help but laugh at the new website MNightschool.org, an entire site dedicated to raising money to send M. Night Shyamalan back to film school:

Ahhh, nothing like really elaborate, effortful meanness to make a satisfying point. I was going to start another sentence about almost feeling bad for Shyamalan at this point, but I re-looked up the Last Airbender box office and remembered everything that happened in that movie and decided instead to just link the M Night School website again.

Ovaries Go Bye-Bye As Fireman Gives Kitty Oxygen

Posted: 11 Apr 2011 12:53 PM PDT

Oh hey, what’s up photo of what my perfect fantasy life would look like?

My internet boyfriend Michael K over at DListed taunts me today with this image, which has rendered me barren (gentlemennnnn….). The best part about this is the size difference in paws.

Allow this screencap from the game Mortal Kombat to paint the picture of what I’m going through right now:

Girls With Steve Buscemi Eyes Are Totally Your Type

Posted: 11 Apr 2011 12:04 PM PDT

Let’s face it, as a man, you’ve always been a little afraid to talk about this. Like, you’re not gay or anything (relax!), you just happen to find Steve Buscemi‘s eyes very arousing. And it’s fine. Nobody is judging you. You’re into what you’re into, and can’t no one gonna tell you what your heart ain’t right, know what I’m sayin’? Yeah, you get why other guys find Scarlett Johansson attractive. You really do get it. It’s just not your thing. You know, cause of the eyes.

Well, the new one-theme tumblr, Chicks With Steve Buscemeyes, just solved every problem you’ve ever had.

And you know how you used to think there was something a little off about Ke$ha? Well, that’s certainly no longer an issue!

Of course, we all have our issues with one-theme tumblr accounts. They have a built in and rather short shelf life, and they’re meme-y for meme’s sake, but come on. We’re all here to have a good time. Just don’t think about it too hard, okay?

Go ahead and get your life ruined/awesome: http://chickswithstevebuscemeyes.tumblr.com/

Thanks, @Ashfrieds.

BAD BEERDEA: An Interview With The World’s Most Wasted Cubs Fan

Posted: 11 Apr 2011 12:05 PM PDT

Here’s the thing about drinking beer: When you drink too much beer, you get wasted. And when you get wasted, you make bad decisions. And when you’re a girl at a Cubs game giving the most wasted interview of all time, you make your parents realize that having you was probably a bad decision. On the bright side, if you are a man, married or single, and drive a car better than a Toyora Yaris, she’ll probably give you a handie for a Cubs ticket.

Anyway, here is an interview with a drunk gal who loves baseball for the wings and “beerdeas.” And the hats. And the bus. This woman is my hero.

Opening Day: The Cubs biggest fan from WBEZ on Vimeo.



“I have to pay for HBO and birth control” is my new back tatt, pass it on.

UPDATE: Those calling fake on this, a witness to the interview swears she was legit this drunk, and that most girls at Cubs games are. Then again, most things that bring happiness aren’t real. So be your own judge.

VH1′s Audrina Patridge Testifies Before Reality Congress

Posted: 11 Apr 2011 11:03 AM PDT


Audrina was delightful, despite our Herbie Stempel in Quiz Show set-up.

VH1 has a whole slew of new shows hitting the airwaves this month, one of which is Audrina, a raw and real look at the life and family of Hills star Audrina Patridge. I had the opportunity to sit down with Audrina at the Reality Rocks Expo yesterday to ask her about what it’s like being a bona fide reality star and having your family drama put out there for the world to see. Having myself seen the first episode (which will air Sunday, April 17 at 9 PM on VH1), allow me to assure you that this show will bring the family drama that so many other shows shy away from. (I’m looking at you, Family Matters.) One thing I will say: Her mom Lynn Patridge is a trip, in the best way possible.

Ahead, a super-trailer for VH1′s Audrina, as well as a photo of myself where I ask you “Wait… am I actually cross-eyed?”

SEPARATE PERSONAL QUESTION: Umm have I gone cross-eyed? How is this photo a reality?

Passion Play: The First Student Film Starring Mickey Rourke & Megan Fox

Posted: 11 Apr 2011 11:56 AM PDT

Hmm, Mickey Rourke, Bill Murray and Megan Fox are all starring in a movie directed by the guy who wrote Scrooged? Passion Play sounds weird, but intriguing…

“How long have you been an angel?”

“I’m not an angel.”

Ahhhh crap, it’s a student film. If you didn’t know, that exact exchange occurs in every student film ever made. They’re all about angels who say they’re not angels but they kind of might be and you’re not really sure, then a Tom Waits song plays.

Welp, I’m not gonna totally discount Passion Play based on this trailer, but I am going to totally decide that it is a student film. I believe this is a reasonable assumption:

And just in case the trailer didn’t seem generically “weird movie” enough, check out the awful tagline:

“Love is stronger than death”? Isn’t that a line from Brigadoon? Or the student film version of Brigadoon? Am I just in a bad mood, or does nothing about this trailer, the cast, or evil glasses Bill Murray make any sense?

Naomi Watts Loves Hygenic Tampons!

Posted: 11 Apr 2011 10:17 AM PDT

There are some things about Naomi Watts that by now we’re all familiar with. She’s Australian. She’s married to Liev Schreiber. She’s BFF with Nicole Kidman. She’s got a great rack.

But what we never knew about Naomes was her disdain for non-hygenic applicator tampons. But now we have an answer!! Thanks to a Tampax add Naomi filmed when she was a young Australian lady without a famous face. And allow me to speak from experience when I say that my own life has been extremely hassle-free thanks to and only thanks to Tampax. (Expecting the free tampon truck to be backing up to my front door any day now.

Not A Mad Lib: Deer Guards Goose Nest At Buffalo Cemetary

Posted: 11 Apr 2011 09:39 AM PDT

This sounds like somebody just threw a bunch or random words together and then made up a news story about it, but apparently, a deer actually is standing guard and protecting a goose and her nest at a Buffalo, New York cometary. Millard Filmore and Rick James are also somehow characters in this psilocybin soaked woodlands tale.

For at least four days, the buck stood guard near the nest of a Canada goose as she sits on her eggs inside a large urn at Forest Lawn cemetery, home to the remains of President Millard Fillmore and rock icon Rick James.

“He does appear to be guarding the goose, as it were,” Erie County SPCA Wildlife Administrator Joel Thomas said. “He’s within touching distance of her — there’s no doubt what’s going on.”

Employees at the cemetery were alerted to the situation after the animal positioned itself between the bird and an employee of a company that traps and relocates geese, which Thomas said have become a messy problem in large numbers.

“When he approached the bird with a net, the deer puts itself between him and the bird, and he’s repeated that behavior for some time,” he said.

Animals, you guys! This will obviously be a fully illustrated children’s book in about four months. Parents are going to have to start preparing themselves to explain who Millard Fillmore and Rick James are at the same time.

Thanks, Reuters.
