May 19th
Reunited, and it feels so good!
Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie are together after 13 years of doing their own thang.
Whoa, that’s a looooong separation!!
The duo will lend their vocal talents to the upcoming animated feature, The Canterville Ghost — an adaptation of the classic Oscar Wilde tale about an American family stuck in a haunted British mansion.
Hugh and Stephen were famous for their BBC sketch-comedy back near the turn of the century, starring most notably in the well-received A Bit of Fry & Laurie.
These guys are HIGHlarious HUGHlarious and they’re working with the production company that brought us Gnomeo & Juliet so we’re pretty confident this one will be comedic gold!!

Perez Reviews: Hands On A Hardbody The Musical
May 19th
Hands On A Hardbody is Broadway-ready! And it was a special treat to see the new musical, based on the cult documentary, at the lovely La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego. A theater with leg room in the rows! You never get that in NYC!
We went into the show expecting to see a satire, along the lines of Book Of Mormon or Avenue Q. The documentary, after all, is about a group of colorful Texans that try and win a “hard body” truck by seeing who can win a contest to keep their hand on it for as long as possible.
The show could have gone in the direction of camp or mockery, but – instead – we were so pleased to see it be a bittersweet tale of humanity. People doing and trying and hoping and believing. A show with great laughs but also sincerity. It’s a show with so much heart!
And at the center of the show’s heart are three standout performances from Keala Settle, Hunter Foster and Connie Ray.
Keale Settle easily gives one of THE BEST performances we have ever seen in the theater! And we see lots and lots and lots of shows!!!
This woman was not acting. She was being! Settle so effortlessly embodied her character. She brought an infectious sense of warmth and and passion! And her voice? Wow!
She was a revelation and stole the show!
Hunter was sooooooo good too! That Foster family is just so damn talented!
Hunter played the show’s antagonist, but he did it in such a way that his character was so damn likeable. You should have been rooting against him but you were rooting for! He played the arc of his character so beautifully! At the end of the show… just wow!
The man is amazing!
And the mom from The Torkelsons!!! Carly Rae!!! She was giving us some Meryl Streep fierceness!!! We just wish she had a song!
Speaking of songs, the music was written by Trey Anastasio. Yes, the dude from Phish! He and the show’s lyricist, Amanda Green, did a fabulous and well-rounded job!
There are some truly beautiful and outstanding musical theater songs, pop songs and country songs in the show!
Kudos to book writer Doug Wright and director Neil Pepe, who both did a great job. Especially great were the many inventive ways they used the truck and made the show feel not claustrophobic.
Hands On A Hard Body is hard not to love and good for your body!

Laurie Reveals House Finale Secrets!
May 19th
Watch the video above, stat!
After twenty-three eight seasons on the air, everyone’s favorite crotchety doctor hangs up his stethoscope for good on Monday.
Many sources report Dr. House will kick the proverbial bucket in the finale episode and when Hugh Laurie stopped by The Tonight Show, Leno grilled him for supper answers.
In an embarrassingly fake British accent, Hugh gives strong indications that he might not live through House’s final episode.
What do U think might kill him?
We cast our vote for a rare flesh-eating virus!!

John Mayer Is Already Working On A New Album, And He May Be High
May 19th
The new, improved and enlightened new album, Born and Raised.
The musician, who spent the past two years in hideout, reflecting on his Johnny Depp‘s style, is excited to release his long-awaited album. He “soberly” told guests at a recent listening party:
“You forget anyone is ever going to hear it because it seems so far off.”
That’s deep bro. LOL!
John revealed that he’s currently writing on his next album, and hopes to start recording as soon as this summer. The artist announced:
“I’ve been thinking I’ll record in July and August. I’m already writing – I’ve got nothing else to do. Like any other job, you finish a project – you start another project.”
The stoned profound musician explained the importance of writing a new album ASAP:
“Whether or not I can sing, there’s a way I can see the world right now that I won’t again. And if you’re a writer, you write the way you can see the world at that moment.”
Excited to hear how is new state of mind has affected his music??
You don’t have to wait long! The record comes out May 22.

Julianne Hough To Play It Safe With Josh Duhamel!
May 19th
Josh Duhamel in?
That’s what it’s sounding like for who’ll be taking up the role of Julianne Hough’s leading man!
Well…on the silver screen, of course!
Reportedly, Ryan’s beau and Rock Of Ages star Julianne is currently in talks to play the lead role in a film based on the Nicholas Sparks novel, Safe Haven!!
The actress would be taking on the character Katie Feldman, a mysterious young woman who moves to small town in North Carolina, where the residents start becoming suspicious of her and her shady past!
This would definitely be an interesting role for the Footloose actress!
We role, as well.
The flick is slated to premiere in theaters February 8, 2013!

Pauly D Fires Back At Deadmau5! Again!
May 19th
Pauly D recently took to twitter to ask the innernets what they thought about his new music video (above).
DJ Pauly D: “So how do you like the video? http://youtu.be/_0JErGktWvA Make sure to grab the song on iTunes… http://fb.me/15SKt3MbX”
He got a little more than he asked for when Deadmau5 responded and started ripping his video apart.
Deadmau5: “@DJPaulyD well since you asked, i didn’t really enjoy it. it looked like it cost about $150 to make, and nothing really creative about it.”
After Deadmau5 went on a rant, (which you can read HERE) he said he was going to bed.
Then Pauly D got his chance to fire back!
Pauly D: “Wonder If I Could Get @Deadmau5 To DJ My Birthday ?? Now That Would Be The #NightOfMyLife.”
Pauly D: “Maybe He Just Needs Some Cheese To Go With His Whine … #WheresMyMau5Trap”
Pauly D: “Well @DeadMau5 Today Was A Pleasure , Hope U Had Fun Too , But I Got Show To Watch Tonight #PaulyDProject U Should Tune In@MTV.”
Oh snapppp!!!
This is the most catty guy fight ever!
We wonder what Deadmau5 will say??

Demi Moore Will Mother Elizabeth Olsen In Very Good Girls
May 19th
Although the last movie she played a mom in Demi Moore has taken on another paternal role in Very Good Girls.
She will play Elizabeth Olsen‘s mother in a flick about two girls trying to get banged lose their v-card the summer after high school graduation. When Dakota Fanning falls for the same guy as Olsen, however, their friendship is tested for the first time.
All three are incredible actresses, so this already has the potential to be a very good coming-of-age film.
Fun fact: Naomi Foner, the movie’s writer and director, is Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal‘s mom! They aren’t starring in it, as far as we know, but Maggie’s husband Peter Sarsgaard is.
We hope this movie is very good, girls (and guy)!

Another Peter Pan Movie Is On The Way!
May 19th
WOO HOO!!!
Who doesn’t love Peter Pan?
Disney is adapting Peter and the Starcatchers for the big screen and has already hired a writer to start working on the screenplay.
The 2004 children’s novel is a prequel to the classic story and was recently adapted into a hit Broadway production which was nominated for nine Tony Awards.
Since there have been four sequels published already, this could very well turn into the next big franchise for the studio.
Although this is a rehash of old material, at least we’re going to see the titular character embark on a brand new adventure.
