Hey Zach, you wanna make sure that the judges won’t accept Magic Pand, though? Like, I get it that there’s a “right” answer but I’m pretty sure AT LEAST, like, if not Magic Pand, that AT LEAST Magic Yand would’ve been acceptable. We’re not mind readers, here. (Via NYMag.)

Do you even care what this is from? Does it even MATTER? Just Kristen Stewart doing her thang. Punkers gotta punk. Girls gotta be in dresses that are very similar and not so pretty. Middle fingers gotta be up in the air in front of Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth when you’re on some grass somewhere at the world premiere of Snow White and the Huntsman. The point is that you just gotta do you. Do you and caption it!

- Have you never seen Casablanca? Were you waiting for the perfect moment, that one perfect time when the time and place just felt perfectly correct for seeing Casablanca? Well you’re in luck, because it’s going to be streaming on Facebook tomorrow! -Movieline
- Obama was on The View this morning and said things like he “likes hanging out with women” and that he doesn’t know what 50 Shades of Grey is but that he’ll “ask Michelle when [he] goes home.” That guy. -NYMag
- As was announced through Ron Burgundy’s Twitter, the Anchorman 2 teaser trailer will premiere before The Dictator this week. Just FYI in case there’s anyone who thinks they’re going to see that movie by any chance. -RonBurgundy
- BREAKING NEWS, Kanye West says he WILL appear on a few episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. I’m a little bit disappointed in him, but I can’t really explain how that makes sense! -E!
- Speaking of the Kardashians, guess what everyone’s naming their babies now? -WarmingGlow
- Here is an adorable reenactment of the Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage” music video, done by children. -Stereogum
- In this video, Patton Oswalt plays Walluks Bashley who is searching for the first ever “first” Internet commenter. I think it is a promo for the 16th annual Webby Awards which you need not watch on May 21st because I’m pretty sure Videogum has already won every single one of them. -FunnyOrDie
- This girl’s boyfriend proposed to her right after she got her diploma. I’d be a little upset, to be honest. Like, A LOT upset, actually. Spread out the celebrations! -TheDailyWhat
- Michael Fassbender thinks that peeing for real in Shame cost him an Oscar. Did it, LADIES? -FilmDrunk
Your kid is great! Why are you even letting your kid go to sleep, wake him up and enjoy him! (Via Uproxx.)
In two weeks, Mr. Coconuts will be celebrating its first anniversary with Heather Lawless, Larry Murphy, Jon Daly, and Jon Glaser! Wowowow! Quite a lineup! Quite an EVENT! Get your tickets here and don’t get left out with the nerds.
WAR! Open on: Scary war. Matthew and William are discussing how nuts this thing they’re going to do is, and how they have to “chuck everything they’ve got at them.” And we think, “What are they doing?” And then you see all of the soldiers bracing themselves as if they’re going to die, and then we’re thinking, “What? What are you doing? Just stay safe! Shoot from a safe distance!” And then the soldiers run at the other side’s soldiers with their muskets (or whatever) and their bayonets and it’s like, WAIT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! And then they get shot at, and so many of them die brutally. And then Daisy feels startled back at home.
We talk about celebrity pranks here a lot on Videogum, but almost always the pranks are that of the “on set” variety. Spoken about over and over again in the kind of interviews where celebrities sit in front of the poster for whatever movie their promoting and let hundreds of reporters in throughout the day to ask them the same questions (“Tell is about the on-set pranks,” “Are you guys friends off-set too?” “When that happened, was that real?”), these stories are fun, sure, but rarely give us any insight into the pranker’s personal prank history. And really, how dare they keep it from us, their DESERVING public! In a recent appearance on Ellen, Kate Beckinsale broke down this prank barrier and gave us a glimpse at her TRUE Ms. Pranky-Prank self. From IFPress:
Actress Kate Beckinsale loves to prank her director husband Len Wiseman when he’s asleep.
The fun-loving Brit admits her man is such a heavy sleeper she can stick beards and Halloween store novelty items all over his face at night after he drops off.
Appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Monday, the Serendipity star said, “Once I found out that I could do the make-up, then it got really crazy and I’d start gluing a proper Pirates of the Caribbean beard on … and then a bullet hole, all this stuff you can get in any Halloween store. It’s hours of fun for me.”
And Beckinsale’s late night fun is a nightmare for Wiseman: “He’s, like, the shyest person ever so the thought of being the centre of attention is the most horrid idea for him … I wanted him to have to go to work and then have to go to the make-up trailer and say, ‘Please can you get this beard off before I have to go on set?’”
Thank you, Kate Beckinsale. You seem like an absolute nightmare to live with. A beautiful, beautiful nightmare. (Thanks for the tip, Rogelio)
Ooooooh, IT’S UPFRONTS SEASON! You guys! That wonderful time of the year when major networks and some select cable channels let us all in on what they have in store for us, their viewers, next season. Oooh lala. It’s like we’re all a bunch of Mr. Hollywoods. Really, we should’ve talked about the new NBC comedies yesterday when they were announced, but it’s possible that some of us kind of, by accident, dropped the ball on upfronts news yesterday. Not that they aren’t professionals, it’s just that maybe they had other things to pay attention to here yesterday and the VERY important thing that is “upfronts” kind of slipped by silently and unnoticed, the way most of these new shows will eventually slip off of TV and into the land of Canceled Shows We Don’t Even Remember. But in any case, now we have both new NBC comedies and new FOX shows to talk about! Upfronts Christmas! There are so many shows! My goodness! WHERE DO THEY EVEN GET THE IDEAS FOR ALL OF THESE SHOWS?
