At one time, Jim Carrey could walk away from a Bruce Almighty sequel. But after a couple years of misfires and modest grosses in pictures like Yes Man, A Christmas Carol and Mr. Popper’s Penguins, it seems that he’s willing to return to one of his most successful films. Variety reports that the scribes of Yes Man have been hired to pen a sequel to Bruce Almighty. In other depressing comedy news, Entertainment Weekly reports that New Line has hired Scott Zabielski to helm their Police Academy reboot.

Oh for the love of—look, Hollywood, this has got to stop. Seriously. We need to huddle up here and talk this out. This is not necessary. The world does not need a sequel to a 17 year old Jim Carrey film. Really, it doesn’t. The last time this happened, we got Ace Ventura 2: When Nature Calls, ok? So, to recap, please don’t do this—we do not need Dumb and Dumber 2.

Never one to not nip at the heels of larger pop culture figures in order to expand her own name brand recognition, Kathy Griffin has now responded to the hyper-creepy/ sorta funny but still creepy video Jim Carrey released yesterday, in which he professed his love for actress and Emma Stone, satirized social media confessions, and still managed to come off as more than a little spooky. Griffin’s response? Make a video to Justin Bieber that essentially steals what Carrey did and adds… well, actually it doesn’t really add anything than the fact that you can actually tell Griffin is joking, along with a sheen of desperate “LOOK AT ME” on the part of Griffen.

So this… this is creepy. According to The AV Club, Jim Carrey (he of the talking butt routine, as well as the “watch me be really serious and dramatic in this movie and please forget that I used to talk out of my butt” routine) has released a video on YouTube wherein he professes his love for young actress Emma Stone, and then proceeds to describe how he would seduce her, were he not pushing 50.

After last weekend’s solid debut J.J Abrams Super 8 will be competing with blockbuster hopeful The Green lantern, Jim Carrey’s kid comedy Mr.Poppers Penguin.
Hoping to be another in the long list of successful comic adaptation comes.The Green lantern is a known property, add in the youthful appeal of Ryan Reynolds, Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively and The Green Lantern could turn out to be sizable hit. Working against Reynolds & Co are poor reviews, and the fact that The Green lantern is the third comic book film to be released over the past few weeks. However, marketing has been intense, and movie audiences are always looking for some summer time fun with a big action popcorn flick. With that said, look for The Green Lantern to open in the #1 spot.

For the past few years, every time I’ve gone to see a kids movie in the theater, I always take a moment to feel sorry for the parents in the theater. These days, taking a family of 4 to the theater can cost anywhere between $50 and $75 (Closer to $100, if you’re seeing something in IMAX or 3-D)! But then, to add insult to injury, more often than not they’ve got to sit through dreck like Alvin and the Chipmunks, or Marmaduke. Thankfully, there are a handful of movies out that are not only geared towards the satisfaction of children, but the whole family, and Mr. Popper’s Penguins, starring Jim Carrey is one of them. Check out the rest of the review after the jump…

Mark Water‘s Mr. Popper’s Penguins trailer sets a tone, and that tone is of a family comedy from the mid 90′s. Even though the film opens on June 17 of this year, you’ve got Jim Carrey acting alongside CGI and real penguins and the trailer ends in a dance number set to Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby.” It’s a movie that could have just as comfortably starred Robin Williams or Eddie Murphy back in the day, or even Carrey himself. And yet… here were are. Take a look.

Did you happen to catch “Saturday Night Live” this weekend? NBC aired the first new episode since the holiday break and they brought out the big comedic guns to ring in the new year. Jim Carrey (who was promoting I Love You Phillip Morris) was the host last week, and he breathed some much needed life into the show’s ratings. According to reports, he had the highest rated episode since Betty White hosted last May.
