Jeremy Piven was on Jimmy Kimmel Live yesterday and he told the ABC host that his father played the famous River Boat Captain in the Uncle Ben’s Rice commercial back in the ’70s and ’80s. I can understand why as a teen he would be embarrassed, but I think it would be cool to have him in my own personal Entourage.
Take a look at one of the commercials his father Byrne starred in and see if you can notice the resemblance. I think it is as obvious as white on rice.
Planking is taking over the social networking world and it is slowly being replaced by Owling. We have seen Joe Jonas do it and now that I have seen Colin Egglesfield and Angie Harmon do it on the set of Rizzoli & Isles, I think it looks so much dumber than Planking. What schmuck is getting people to look like idiots via Twitter and Face? Is that person an evil genius or are they certifiable? What’s next? Elephanthing? YMCAing? Fishing? F*cking? Oh wait that last one is already being done!

Katy Perry normally doesn’t mind being photographed by the paps, but yesterday after having a romantic lunch with her husband Russell Brand she hid her face from the cameras. I wonder if it as much her face as her new cotton candy colored hair. A hair color I predicted she was going for when she announced that she was changing her jet black locks to a new mysterious color. Even though I guessed that was the color she was going for, that doesn’t mean I thought it was a good idea because it isn’t.
Yesterday ABC and AMPAS announced that Don Mischner and Brett Ratner will be producing the Oscars and today I am praying that the director of Tower Heist does not have one or both of his stars from the movie hosting the Academy Awards in 2012. I know it would be dream for AMPAS to have Zoolander host, but I don’t find him funny and always thought his bits on past shows were too long and mean. When it comes to Dr Doolittle if it was the ’80s he would be great, but he lost his way somewhere in the ’90s.
I mean haven’t we suffered enough over the last few Oscars with the bad choice of hosts? Even James Franco admits he was bad choice.
So Brett, I am on my knees begging you now to go over to Billy Crystal’s house and do the same. We the fans of movies need a person who will make us laugh throughout the whole drawn out telecast and not a person that will make us want to change the channels. BTW I have said this before and I will say it again, doesn’t Tower Heist look like pure unfunny crap?
On Wednesday night Jason Bateman was on Late Night and he revealed five things we didn’t know about his Change-Up costar Ryan Reynolds. When he was done, Jimmy Fallon informed him that his friend would be on the show the next night. So Bateman got nervous and he was right to be because the Green Lantern star got his revenge by telling us 8 things we didn’t know about the Arrested Development star. When it comes to who gave us the better dirt, Bateman wins a huge a$$ silver spoon for her list!!!
Seriously after hearing their big reveals, I wonder if their 15 year friendship can sustain their truthfulness? I hope so because I am already looking for to The Change-Up 2!
