Evan Rachel Wood is my favsies. And not just because she’s from my hometown and played Queen Sophie Anne on “True Blood.” At the after-party for “Ides of March” at the Venice Film Festival, she hopped on stage and did a rousing rendition of 4 Non Blondes’ “What’s Up?” in front of George Clooney and company. Coincidentally, yesterday, I saw that this song was voted the 10th worst song of the ’90s by Rolling Stone readers. Which makes me sad for the world because it’s obviously awesome.

Gerard Depardieu Parodies His Peeing Incident
Gerard Depardieu is apparently not too embarrassed by the incident last month whereby he peed himself on an airplane from Paris to Dublin when a flight attendant told him he couldn’t use the bathroom. As any self-respecting actor would do, he has gone the route of self parody, making this clip for French television. In the spoof, he appears as Obelix, the French cartoon character who wears a funny metal hat with braids attached, eats wild boar, and is almost as well know as Pepé Le Pew. Apparently, Gerard will be starring in a live-action Obelix movie that will come out next year. Anyone speak French and feel like translating? I can almost hear Anderson Cooper laughing already.

Don Cheadle Is Captain Planet
Last month, I let you know that the Cartoon Network was working on a live-action version of “Captain Planet,” the ’90s cartoon that encouraged kids to recycle and turn off lights. Well, either great minds think alike, or Funny or Die totally cribbed the idea. Because in this vid, they have Don Cheadle play the do-gooding super hero. Only, after zapping some nasty contractors, Captain Planet goes crazy and starts turning everything and everyone—including puppies and babies—into trees. Also, his superhero sparks come from his penis. Hilarious. [Huffington Post] Keep reading »
Snooki: The Newscaster?
Apparently, our dear Snooki has always wanted to be an anchorwoman. And so the site Cambio is giving her the opportunity with their new series, “The News According To Snooki.” Here, the debut episode, which is 2 minutes and 57 seconds of Snooki opining on the news. Her take on Hurricane Irene? “I live in the East Coast, so that’s really, really scary,” she says. “When you’re powerless, you can’t like straighten your hair, blow-dry your hair, go on Twitter, go on Facebook. You can’t talk on the phone You just sit there and do nothing—you can’t even watch TV.” She also has an opinion on Beyonce and Jay-Z’s baby, who will be “tan obviously.” She also reports on a 75-year-old who got breast implants, eats a pickle, and reveals that she believes in aliens because they help her find her way home from the club when she’s drunk. CNN, got on this. [Cambio] Keep reading »
Taylor Swift And Justin Bieber Do A Duet Of “Baby”
In case you needed proof that Bieber Fever is nowhere near over, check out the audience reaction when, during a Taylor Swift concert at the Los Angeles Staples Center on Tuesday night, Taylor brought Justin Bieber on stage for a duet of “Baby.” “Who wants to see my friend Justin?” Taylor asks, as the mostly female audience loses their minds. Something tells me the moment wasn’t impromptu, judging by the fact that Justin’s cadre of dancers came onstage with him for what appeared to be a highly choreographed moment. But still, I have to imagine that this moment is heaven for many tweens in the USA. [Billboard] Keep reading »
Unamused Cat Performs Madonna’s “Like A Virgin”
This feisty feline, who looks suspiciously like my cat Cleo, sure out-meows Madonna. In a truly awesome set of videos, MTV has commissioned cats and dogs to recreate iconic moments from the VMAs over the years. This one is, of course, Madonna’s performance of “Like a Virgin” from the very first VMAs in 1984.

Danielle Staub Says Reality TV Made Her Suicidal
Disclaimer: You may want to flog me for what I’m about to say, but I must say it. As a person who has suffered a serious bout of depression, I have the utmost empathy for anyone who is suicidal. But I just have to question Danielle Staub‘s motivation for doing an interview with “Entertainment Tonight” in which she says that she was suicidal after appearing on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.” It seems a little like she is trying to capitalize on Russell Armstrong’s suicide because, in true form, she jumped at the opportunity to force herself into the spotlight. Now, if I’m wrong about Staub’s motivations, then I’m sorry. But why would she share her suicidal thoughts with her kids? And why would she tell us about it? Why, if she thinks the pressures of reality television contributed to her depression, would she continue to be part of that world? (She is currently a cast member on Vh1′s “Famous Food”). Something about her confession doesn’t sit right with me. This woman needs to sit down with a professional, not “ET.” [ONTD]

Anderson Cooper Cracks Up On Air Over Gerard Depardieu’s Urination Incident
This video combines four of my favorite things: silver fox Anderson Cooper, awesomely bad puns, the mocking of a celebrity who pissed themselves on a plane, and a newscaster cracking up on air. Last night, during a segment called “RidicuList,” Anderson just couldn’t contain his laughter after spouting out a long list of puns about Gerard Depardieu, who apparently peed all over himself on a plane from Paris to Dublin when a flight attendant told him he couldn’t get up to use the bathroom. “So Depardieu created his own little jet stream,” said Anderson, reading the script. “Or as the French say ‘oui oui.’ [Other passengers] saw a actual thespian actually thes peein’ … They should thank their lucky stars it wasn’t Depar-two.” Anderson then scrunched his face and dissolved into hysterics. “Sorry, this has actually never happened to me. You see this sort of thing on YouTube and you don’t think this kind of thing will happen to you.” No worries, Anderson, we like! [Hollywood Reporter] Keep reading »
Anne Hathaway Has A Camera Up Her Crotch
Or at least that’s what she told Conan O’Brien last night … in the form of a Lil’ Wayne-inspired rap song. Is there anything Anne Hathaway can’t do? The “Dark Knight Rises” star revealed how the art of rap helped her deal with the persistent paparazzi attention surrounding the movie. Whether “Pop, Pop, Pop” will be a Billboard Top 100 is rather irrelevant—we think it’s ah-maz-ing. Our favorite line by far is “Don’t act so hotsy-totsy, bitch, I know that you from Jersey!” We sense a Lil’ Wayne collaboration remixed by DJ Pauly D on the horizon.

Ben Stiller Promotes The See Jennifer Aniston Naked Foundation
Ben Stiller just wants to save the world. And so he is starting a charity in addition to the Derek Zoolander Fund For Kids Who Can’t Read Good. Some of the names he was considering—the Ben Cross and No Child Left Ben-Hind. But he wanted something that would really appeal to the people. So he chose The See Jennifer Aniston Naked Foundation. Jen’s reaction here is awesome. Though, in reality, Ben does actually have his own charity that supports building schools—the Stiller Foundation—and this video is meant to drum up some buzz for it.
