Ricky Gervais’ New Show Will Make Him Look Very Tall

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comApril 22, 2010 //

There is no doubting that Ricky Gervais is hysterical. But his new show sounds a little … little. Called “Life is Short,” the new comedy follows Warwick Davis, who is 3″6′ and the most famous little person in the U.K. You’ve seen him, too. Remember “Willow”? Yep, that’s him. The show chronicles the trials and tribulations of being a little actor. “It’s about his life, the life of a showbiz dwarf,” says Gervais. “He plays himself, I play myself, it’s sort of like ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm.’ We’re having so much fun working with Warwick. Pound for pound he is one of the funniest men I know.”

So what do you think—will you be watching? Or will you wait for the inevitable American version? [NY Mag] Keep reading »

Is A “Jersey Shore” Cast Coup In The Works?

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comApril 22, 2010 //

The cast of “Jersey Shore” has barely gotten in a round of GTL as they film season two in Miami, and already rumors are swirling that MTV isn’t pleased with all their guidos and guidettes. An inside source tells the NY Post, “Pauly D already has a contract for season three and Snooki and The Situation will stay. The others could be replaced with even more outrageous characters.” Meaning that Ronnie, Sammi, J-Woww, Angelina, and Vinny could get the heave-ho. Keep reading »

Johnny Depp Directs A Music Video, We Swoon

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comApril 22, 2010 //

Johnny Depp, will you do me a favor? Can you do something gruesomely unattractive? Perhaps kick a puppy, fart loudly in public, or do a detailed interview about your athlete’s foot—something to distract us from your hotness and all-around awesomeness. The latest Depp move that will make you swoon? He’s directed a music video for British indie rockers Babybird. This vid for “Unlovable” is a reinterpretation of Ambrose Bierce’s short story, “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge,” which was also the basis for an iconic “Twilight Zone” episode. It’s pretty dope, no? [NY Mag] Keep reading »

Mary J. Blige Gets Psychedelic On “Idol Gives Back”

Ami AngelowiczApril 22, 2010 //

In case you got bored and started fast-forwarding through last night’s “Idol Gives Back” bonanza (it was kind of a snoozefest), you might have missed the best moment of the pseudo-telethon—Mary J. Blige covering “Stairway to Heaven” by Led Zeppelin. That’s what I love most about Mary, she can sing anything, even psychedelic rock. Randy Jackson got up there and jammed with her band and her lady guitarist shredded that famous solo. Oh, and then Tim Urban got eliminated and no one cared. Keep reading »

Catherine StrawnApril 22, 2010 //

This July, Vanessa Hudgens stars in “Beastly,” a modern-day version of “Beauty and the Beast.” Mary-Kate Olsen has a role in the film, too (odd combination, right?); however, we don’t remember a possessed witch from the Disney version. Keep reading »

Archie Goes Guido

SimchaApril 22, 2010 //

Move over Clark Kent, the comic book character with the most hair gel ever is about to hit the market. Issue #145 of Archie & Friends is Jersey-tastic because the comic’s characters are meeting up with the cast of the reality show “Riverdale Shore.” It looks like they got the spray tan lines right, but is the guido gang a little burned out by now? [The Daily What] Keep reading »

Little American girls are taught to believe that “one day their prince will come.” Little girls in Russia, apparently, will settle for a piece of s**t. Literally. [BuzzFeed] Keep reading »

The Sounds Of “Sex and The City 2″

Catherine StrawnApril 21, 2010 //

We’re a little more than a month away from the theater release of “Sex and the City 2,” and bits and pieces about the movie are starting to trickle in. Apparently, because of a deal with HP, Carrie Bradshaw will wield an HP computer instead of her beloved, if a bit outdated, MacBook laptop. And, we’ve just learned what songs will be on the official movie soundtrack. In addition to original music by Jennifer Hudson, Leona Lewis, Dido, and Cee-Lo, there are three songs by something called the “Sex and the City Men’s Choir,” a version of “I Am Woman” sung by the four stars, and … (drumroll please) … a cover of Beyonce’s “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” by Liza Minnelli. Whoa is all we have to say about that. Click through for the full “Sex and the City 2″ track listing. Keep reading »

Tabloid Cheat Sheet: Prince William’s Getting Married? Tom Cruise’s Big Gay Lies?

adminApril 21, 2010 //

As a purveyor of junk food news, I feel it might be my civic duty to remind readers from time to time that the news reported henceforth should be taken with a grain of salt. And perhaps a Caramel Frappucinno, because excess sodium can lead to dehydration and I’ve found that the best way to combat that is with sugar. And butter. But seriously, sometimes I feel guilty for perpetuating meritless rumors, so this is my Hail Mary—what you are about to read is for entertainment purposes only, the opinions stated do not necessarily reflect my views or the views of The Frisky and should they inadvertently hurt Kate Gosselin‘s feelings, then that’s just too bad.
