Bad news for fans of George Lopez—all six of you—as it turns on the late night talk show host and perennially unfunny comedian (and I’m using the work “comedian” very loosely) has been fired by TBS, and his talk show, the cleverly titled Lopez Tonight, cancelled.
Apparently, it doesn’t take much to land a role in Transformers 3 (we’re looking at you Rosie Huntington-Whiteley), so Oscar winner Ben Kingsley decided to bring his F-game to his audition for the sequel. And by “F-game,” we mean there’s literally no effort being put into his performance and it’s HILARIOUS! The actor shot a short skit for George Lopez’s talk show “Lopez Tonight” where he poked fun at reality star Heidi Montag and her recent audition for the movie. Take a look…
If you’re a fan of 20th Century Fox’s Ice Age franchise you’re going to love Rio. It’s an animated feature produced by Blue Sky Studios the company behind Horton Hears a Who and Robots. Rio will be in digital 3D and includes an A-list cast led by Oscar nominee, Anne Hathaway. Check out the first trailer…
Oh, thank the gods—Conan O’Brien is returning to a television near you this fall. According to CNN (who is like TBS but owned by Time Warner), O’Brien will be starting a new late-night talk show to debut in November. Immediately following O’Brien’s new late-night show will be George Lopez with Lopez Tonight at midnight.
While one would have hoped for a two-birds-one-stone situation in which Conan returns to television only to utterly banish and destroy the sheer horror of horror s that is Lopez tonight, you gotta take what you can get. Let’s just hope that the resulting matter/ anti-matter collision of Conan’s humor to Lopez’s schtick will be enough to obliterate the latter.
O’Brien had this to say:
A theatrical trailer has been released for the upcoming live action adaption of Marmaduke, and I feel guilty for saying this, but it’s hilarious. It’s funny in the campiest way imaginable. It stars Owen Wilson as the voice of the title character and Lee Pace (“Pushing Daisies“) and Judy Greer as the couple he drives insane. Check out the slap stick comedy below…
We should have seen this coming. I actually saw George Lopez on TV cracking a joke about Speedy Gonzales the other day and here he is about to play him in a movie. Oh, the irony. Even though the casting might sound pitch perfect something tells me this film will be a live action, animated assault on our eyes.
I vaguely remember reading an article about the upcoming animated feature Marmaduke. The film is based on the popular comic strip character of the same name that was originally created by Brad Anderson. The film will be a mix of CGI and live action following in the footsteps of Alvin and the Chipmunks and Garfield. The newly announced cast features everyone from a British comedian to a Black Eye Pea, find out who’ll be behind the scenes of Marmaduke.
