Mark Wahlberg To Open Wahlburgers Restaurant: 5 More Eponymous Eatery Ideas

Posted 8/25/11 5:13 pm EST by in Humor


Say hi to your mother freakin' quarter pounder for me!

In today's mouth-watering news you can use, actors Mark and Donnie Wahlberg are teaming with chef brother Paul Wahlberg to open the eponymous Wahlburgers restaurant, which will serve—you guessed it!—hot-off-the-grill hamburgers.

The news comes from the Boston Herald, who report that the brothers had to secure naming rights from a Rochester, N.Y.-based restaurant that already sold something called the "Wahlburger." (Who knew?!) The 4,300 square-foot restaurant is set to open "soon," across from the brother's Italian restaurant, Alma Nove, in Hingham, Mass.

We, for one, can't wait to hang tough with a juicy Wahlburger, but why stop there? Plenty of celebrities have food-friendly names that we could see printed on those little paper placemats. Check out our epicurean suggestions after the jump!

Donnie Wahlberg Faces 'The Human Centipede'

Posted 6/21/11 1:39 pm EST by in Video


What does NKOTBSB (ed note: New Kids on the Block / Backstreet Boys, for those of you who don't immediately recognize the acronym like me -JW) do on the road? Aside from perfect their harmonies and sweet boy band dancing skills, well, they also watch bizarre horror flicks like "The Human Centipede."

Well, at least New Kids' resident bad boy, Donnie Wahlberg does. The hot topic came up (we promise, we didn’t bring it up) when MTV News caught up with the guys during a tour stop in New Jersey and Donnie very frequently dropped the movie's title several times during the conversation, usually making everyone in the room giggle.

"Listen, this is therapeutic for me," Wahlberg reacted with a grin when the frequent mention of "Human Centipede" was called into question. "It may seem funny to you..."

Kim Kardashian As A 'Twilight' Vampire And Ice T Playing Games In Today's Twitter-Wood

Posted 7/16/09 6:23 pm EST by in Twitter-Wood


Russell BrandWarmoth's out, so I'm stepping in to cover today's Twitter-Wood beat. It's pretty daunting, manning this great ship Twitter-Wood. Brian has done a kickass job of turning this feature into a daily destination for a lot of people. And since he's not here, I feel compelled to give props where props are due. It ain't easy mining hundreds of celeb Tweets for worthwhile things to share. I would encourage you all to shout out Brian in future Twitter-Wood comments sections.

Today's feed features a cryptic message from comedian Eddie Izzard and a truth bomb sponsored by none other than Donnie Wahlberg. There also a hilarious one-liner from Russell Brand and comments from Ice T about his time spent yesterday with the video game "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2." All that plus some terrifying links from Wil Wheaton and Ryan Seacrest -- but for totally different reasons -- in today's Twitter-Wood, for July 16, 2009. Read More...

Why Does Donnie Wahlberg Get The Giggles From DeNiro?

Posted 9/15/08 5:54 pm EST by in News


Donnie WahlbergWorking with two of this country's most respected actors (as well as one darn good rapper) provided "Righteous Kill" co-star Donnie Wahlberg with some pretty awesome memories.

"Every day on set with Pacino was amazing. He has a million and one stories. 50 was incredible… but probably my favorite memory was I got the giggles with Robert DeNiro. When you get them you can’t stop laughing because you know that people want you to stop laughing, so the director’s over there getting frustrated, but me and Robert DeNiro can’t stop giggling during this scene and it was pretty surreal. To be sitting there where neither one of us can stop laughing at goofy stuff we were saying between takes, that was pretty fun." Read More...
