Rachel McAdams was on Today today and Matt Lauer showed the actress her audition tape from when she tried out for The Notebook over a decade ago. She cringed the whole time as she watched it and I don’t know why. I think it’s obvious after watching it, why they cast her in the role. She was perfect for it.
As awesome as that part of the interview was, I really enjoyed learning that The Notebook made Matt Lauer and Al Roker cry. Wusses.
TBS late night host Conan O’Brien is giving acting a shot in Syfy’s Sharktopus vs Pteracuda, and he is doing everything possible to get the word out there about the movie that debuts on August 2nd. He’s taken out billboards, magazine ads, banners on planes, you name it, he will do anything to get you to tune in.
Besides getting to see a half-shark/half-octopus battle it out with a half-pterodactyl/half-barracuda in the Roger Corman future classic, you also get to see the scariest creature that has ever aired on Syfy. It is called the Conan O’Brien. If that doesn’t give you nightmares for the rest of your life, nothing will.
BTW I finally got why they cast him for a movie during their Shark Week. His hair is just like a shark’s upper fin as it goes to attack you. So out of all the stars out there, he’s the biggest shark of them all. Take that Sharknado and Jaws! Conan is coming for you…
Dwayne Johnson was on Live with Kelly and Michael today, and he talked about the facial hair he has in Hercules. For some reason, he wore a fake beard in the movie that comes out on Friday, but the makeup artists wanted it to look real. So they used real hair to make that possible, and for months DJ didn’t know where they got it from. Then one day, The Rock made the mistake of asking where the hair came from and he found out it was from a Yak’s testicles. I bet he wishes he never asked that question.
I don’t know if he has any kissing scenes in the d!ck flick, but I feel for any woman who had to kiss him wearing the pubic hair of yak. So ewwww.
Would you willingly wear the hair of yak’s testicles on your face? I know I wouldn’t.
Food Fighters debuts on NBC tonight at 8p and you want to make a reservation to see this cooking competition show.
We have seen cooking competition shows where it’s home cooks vs home cooks or professional chefs vs professional chefs, but we’ve never seen one where it’s a home cook vs a professional chef. That is until tonight because that’s what Food Fighters is all about.
Each week a home cook will bring five of their best recipes with them and they take a renowned chef head on for up to $100,000. That well-known chef is known for cooking food a certain way, so how will they do when they are taken out of their comfort zone?
So how do the home cooks earn up to $100,000 each episode? They will go head to head with a pro. Each round they win, they earn money. If they lose a round, they do not win anything but they still go on to finish the episode and they are not sent home like they would be on other shows.
Besides heating things up on the stove, things get quite heated between the cooks. They trash talk each other like nobody’s business, but it is all done out of fun. And that is what makes this show so much fun.
Well that and Adam Richman who hosts it. Not only does he bring the heart, he also explains how they are preparing the meals in his own special enjoyable way. His love for food is infectious and it comes across on this show.
So tune in for a competition show that is not like anything you’ve seen on TV. Not only because of the premise but also because of how it is delivered to the audience. It’s served with a lot of love and lot joy, just like the perfect home cooked meal.
