'Transformers' Stars Reunite, Tease Jason Statham?

Posted 12/12/11 11:40 am EST by Josh Wigler in Twitter-Wood

There may or may not be more "Transformers" movies in Michael Bay's future, but for now, the stars who previously battled the robots in disguise are still getting along. "Transformers" actors Tyrese Gibson and Ken Jeong reunited over the weekend, and perhaps there's more than meets the eye to their mention of "JS" -- Jason Statham, perhaps? Your guess is as good as ours!

Meanwhile, "Harry Potter" and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" bad boy Tom Felton conquered Table Mountain over the weekend, Rainn Wilson made a shocking confession about his bathroom behavior and Christopher Mintz-Plasse may have stumbled upon his own secret Spider-Man origin.

'Hangover Part II' Exclusive Featurette: Mr. Chow's Bangkok Travelogue

Posted 12/6/11 4:14 pm EST by Kevin P. Sullivan in Humor, Video

If you ever need a tour guide for the wonderful city of Bangkok, Thailand, look no further than the eccentric Mr. Chow of the two "Hangover" films. He'll show you all the best parts of the country: the motor bikes, the other motor bikes and the site of his first killing.

In this exclusive clip from the Blu-ray/DVD release of "The Hangover Part II," currently in stores as of today (December 6), Ken Jeong travels in character as Mr. Chow through the streets of Bangkok, pointing out the sights along the way. He knows the city well and shares every happy memory with you in the featurette.

As Jeong is known for, the extra featurette from the video release is the actor just improvising his way through the clip, playing off what he's seeing on the street in his usual hilarious fashion.

Ken Jeong, thank you for existing. Not only have you given us countless quips and one-liners over the course of "Knocked Up," "Community" and more, you've given us the most important gift of all — and his name is Mr. Chow.

The MTV Movie Awards winner reprises his most iconic role in this weekend's "The Hangover Part II," and to hear him tell it, he couldn't be more excited. Watch the video above and click past the jump to find out Jeong's thoughts on the psyche of Mr. Chow, the oft-naked gangster standing in the wolf-pack's path time and time again.

'The Hangover Part II': Looking Back On The Wolf-Pack's Path

Posted 5/24/11 5:00 pm EST by Jeremy Gordon in Commentary, News

What a long, strange trip it's been since the first "Hangover" film dropped in 2009. Who could predict that an original comedy starring three mid-level actors would gross hundreds of millions around the world, or that it would become the new standard of bromance comedy, or that you'd actually want to drink more after seeing where alcohol had led the wolf-pack?

But less surprising is how the careers of the actors involved have taken off. Almost all of the primary actors in "The Hangover" have found increased success in the biz, whether it's as action stars, comedic bit players, or reality TV stars.

How far have they come, and where are they going? Find out after the jump!

Posted 4/14/11 4:00 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Posters, Second Take

The boys are back in town, and they're ready to party. Or, at least the monkey is.

Six new character posters for "The Hangover: Part II" have hit the web, and we're glad that Warner Bros. is finally taking a second look at our favorite people in the flick beyond just the wolf pack. That means Doug, Mr. Chow and, yes, our unnamed little simian, all have their own posters for us to drool over.

Paul Giamatti Reveals His 'Hangover 2' Role: 'I Play A Bad Guy'

Posted 1/27/11 9:00 am EST by Terri Schwartz in News, Sundance 2011, Video

Even though Ed Helms threw us for a loop when he informed us former president Bill Clinton won't be making a cameo appearance in "The Hangover 2," we did get at least one thing right: Paul Giamatti will.

The actor was in Park City, Utah to promote his film "Win Win" at Sundance, but when he talked to MTV News he let us know that his cameo in "The Hangover 2" was already in the can.

He filmed his scene in Bangkok a month or so ago, and seemed like he had a very fun time doing it. Fortunately he was also willing to shed some light on his previously unannounced role, especially when prodded by his "Win Win" co-star, Bobby Cannevale. His question: is Giamatti playing Mel Gibson's role, or Mel Gibson himself?

"I do, I play Mel Gibson," Giamatti teased, but then quickly retracted it. "No, I think Liam Neeson plays that."

Todd Phillips On 'The Hangover 2': Bangkok, Here We Come!

Posted 10/4/10 2:21 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Commentary, News

Finally, there's some news on the upcoming sequel to "The Hangover" that isn't just the stars teasing us with information. Will "The Hangover 2" actually take place in outer space? Probably not. But director Todd Phillips did at least confirm to Empire that the film will partially be set in Bangkok.

"It takes place in Bangkok and L.A.," he teases. "There's gonna be some f--ked-up surprises."

That means that, yes, both Mr. Chow and (possibly) Mike Tyson's tiger will return in their natural habitat in the upcoming sequel, which is set to start filming later this month. Phillips confirms that Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms and Bradley Cooper, as well asKen Jeong, will be back for more insanity. Read More...

'Hangover' Star Ken Jeong Practices His Loser Face In Case Betty White Takes The Golden Popcorn

Posted 6/6/10 12:01 am EST by Brian Jacks in MTV Movie Awards, Video

There are a few ways to get nominated for a Best WTF Moment at the MTV Movie Awards. Jumping naked out of a car trunk is right at the top. And that brings us to Ken Jeong, who finds himself up for a Golden Popcorn for his hilarious turn in "The Hangover" (you can watch the scene in question here). But the star is up against some stiff competition, one of which is Betty White's boob-groping role in "The Proposal." And like any gracious actor, he's practiced his "loser face" just in case he finds himself on the wrong side of the winner's circle. Take a gander below.
