Warmoth's still out, and so I'm still sailing this great ship Twitter-Wood. We're planning a minor stylistic change for next week. Nothing big... just a little bonus to draw your attention to the TW feed on the page. You'll see....
Today's Twitter-Wood feed is popping with some oddities. Rainn Wilson has some issues with the planet name "Uranus" (don't we all?); he suggests a great alternative, named for a 70s art-rock outfit. Michael Ian Black also shares some fatherly advice with his son and Tom Felton announces his plans to do a live musical performance after he's finished with work on "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." All that plus some gamer-centric stuff from Bryan Lee O'Malley and Ryan Seacrest in today's Twitter-Wood, July 17, 2009. And yes, Warmoth is totally better at this than I am. Read more...
I’ve been hurting. Probably my two favorite comedies on TV—“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm”—have been on hiatus far too long, and there’s only so many times you can re-watch episodes before your neighbors, behind thin NYC apartment walls, begin to complain. But! Larry David's “Curb” is coming back to HBO in the fall, after a two-year break. And now comes word that “Sunny,” the debaucherous comedy about four friends who run a dive bar in Philly and make one another’s lives hilariously uncomfortable, will be resurfacing on F/X on September 17th for a 12-episode run.
While Charlie Day, along with his fellow writer/producer/co-stars Rob McElhenney and Glenn Howerton are still in the midst of shooting episodes, Day stepped away from the set to kick MTV News the inside scoop about what “Sunny” fans can expect when the gang—including Danny DeVito's bundle of scummy fun, Frank—returns to the small screen.
“One of my favorite scripts right now is an episode called ‘The Gang Wrestles for the Troops,’” he said. “In our attempt to honor the troops coming back from Iraq, we try and put on a wrestling match and ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper is appearing in that. He’s playing a down on his luck wrestler called Da Maniac.” Read more...
Recently, we broke the news that Anna Faris, Christina Applegate and Amy Poehler would be voicing the Chipettes in December’s “Alvin and the Chipmunks” sequel. So naturally when we caught up with Faris recently, we got the “House Bunny” star to squeal on all the details.
“I’m a Chipette!” she said excitedly. “And they make my voice sound even more annoying than it already is.” Read more...
Ever since we broke the news that the sequel to the smash flick “Alvin and the Chipmunks” would be introducing the Chipettes, we’ve been working to uncover the top-secret identities of the girlfriend trio that will make sweet music alongside Alvin, Simon and Theodore. Recently, Justin Long revealed to us that two of the gals will be voiced by Anna Faris and Christina Applegate. Now, we finally know the identity of that mysterious third Chipette.
Number three is Amy Poehler, as revealed to us by “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel” star Zachary Levi when we caught up with him on the red carpet at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday. Read more...
When we first broke the news back in January 2008 that the follow-up to the smash film “Alvin and The Chipmunks” would feature the Chipettes, hundreds of fans weighed in with their eagerness to see Brittany, Jeanette and Eleanor. In the months since, rumors have run amok with various female names who could be providing their high-pitched voices, including Miley Cyrus, Joanna “JoJo” Levesque and Drew Barrymore.
Yesterday, we caught up with Alvin himself: Mr. Justin Long. And he gave us some big news on two of the famous females who’ll be loaning their vocal talents to the December follow-up. Read more...
