Manners exist to provide some measure of civility in the interactions between human beings... and also to give Russell Brand one more thing to mock. That's exactly what the "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and "Get Him to the Greek" star did when he followed in the hallowed footsteps of Steve Carell, Malin Akerman, M. Night Shyamalan, Will Ferrell and Danny McBride by sitting down with MTV's Josh Horowitz for an envelope-pushing edition of "After Hours."

In addition to teaching Josh how to score points on a first date (when the girl's "lady period of the month is happening"), Brand also doles out pointers on how to succeed at a job interview (man-on-man kissing, naturally) and how to make a marriage work (strawberries are involved). Of course, the always bold comedian makes a point of demonstrating all of this -- otherwise where would his manners be?

What do you think of the latest installment of "After Hours"? Who's been your favorite guest thus far? Tell us in the comments!

As all of America now knows — Miami and Cleveland especially — superstar basketball player LeBron James is joining the Heat, effectively ending his longtime relationship with the Cavaliers. Needless to say, the people of Cleveland did not take the news well. Like a jaded ex, Cavaliers majority owner Dan Gilbert publicly denounced James' decision and called his former player's choice "selfish," "heartless" and "callous." Ouch.

As heated reactions from Cavaliers fans continue to flow in, we here on the Movies Blog team can't help ourselves from viewing LeBron and Cleveland's breakup through a cinematic lens. After the jump, check out five on-screen breakups that LeBron's brutal Cleveland departure brings to mind! Read More...

Next Tuesday, December 15, marks the 1000th episode of "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" on CBS. You care about this because, among the other guests, Ferguson will get some time with "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" star Jason Segel. It's actually a little bit more than that. Segel's appearance on the show will be a musical one: he'll perform with his puppet Dracula and the band The Broken West.

Some background might be in order here for those who haven't yet seen "Sarah Marshall." Segel's character in the movie writes a Dracula-inspired rock opera for puppets entitled "A Taste for Love." The song he'll be performing on "The Late Late" show, "Dracula's Lament," is from that rock opera, and The Broken West will be his backing band. Got it? Check out the video after the jump... that ought to clear things up. Read More...

It just seems like Emily Blunt is hot news even for movies she won’t be in. However, now comes news that the actress, along with Jonah Hill, will star alongside Russell Brand in the “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” follow-up, “Get Him To The Greek.”

According to Moviehole, Blunt will be playing a pop musician who “may duet” with the British comedian in the Judd Apatow-produced comedy. Read More...

I don't think I'm alone in saying British comedian Russell Brand was probably the stand-out star of the Judd Apatow-produced "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" (although lead Jason Segal got a nice Muppet deal outta it). Virtually unknown in America prior to the film, in short order he became a sensation, eventually landing on-stage as host of the MTV Video Music Awards. With "Sarah Marshall" now hitting DVD and Blu-ray, check out the karaoke version of his character's hilarious music video below, along with his audition tape after the jump.
