Anthony Hopkins is Alfred Hitchcock

photo of anthony hopkins as alfred hitchcock pictures Blown away. Totally. Back in March, we heard that Scarlett Johansson had been tapped to play Janet Leigh, who played the famous shower role in the original 1960 Psycho, and that James D'Arcy was cast as Anthony Perkins, who played the epic Norman Bates. Others, such as Jessica Biel, Toni Collette, Helen Mirren, and Anthony Hopkins were also cast for the upcoming film, Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho, or just Hitchcock, and the film will be released in 2013. Hopefully with a firm deci...

Anderson Cooper Talks Dick Clark, Everybody is Sad

Call me emotional, but this whole "dead Dick Clark" thing really got to me last night, guys. I actually cried. I didn't cry over Whitney Houston; I didn't even cry over Michael Jackson. But Dick Clark? Well. Let's just say that he had a special place in my heart, where every New Year's Eve, I could revisit the times with my dearly departed-of-eight-years Nana---my Nana, who I spent New Year's Eve year in and year out with up until I was probably fourteen or fifteen, along with Dick Clark. We'd make shrimp and homemade cocktail sauce, and we'd eat nacho tortilla chips and struggle to stay up until midnight, and one day in May, she died. And now Dick Clark is gone, too, and New Year's Eve is ... well, it's going to be different from now on. I know that sounds overly-sentimental, and it's a rarity coming from me, but jeez. Cut a girl some slack. I can't be all ass and tits and f-cks and upskirts all of the time, you know. Even the President is talking about Dick Clark. And that kind of made me well up, too:
"With 'American Bandstand,' he introduced decades' worth of viewers to the music of our times. He reshaped the television landscape forever as a creative and innovative producer. And, of course, for 40 years, we welcomed him into our homes to ring in the New Year. But more important than his groundbreaking achievements was the way he made us feel -- as young and vibrant and optimistic as he was. As we say a final `so long' to Dick Clark, America's oldest teenager, our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends -- which number far more than he knew."
And the really sad part (you know, aside from the fact that the man is gone) is that, in his last New Year's Eve-related interview (back in December of '11), his camp was asked if that year would be Dick's last, since he'd already been on the show for forty years:
Even though Ryan Seacrest took over the main hosting duties for "Dick Clark's Rockin' Eve" several years ago, the man himself, Dick Clark, still tries to make an appearance every year. 2011 marks the 40th anniversary of the Times Square special and to celebrate, ABC has put together a look back, which will air Dec. 31 before the live New Year's Eve festivities begin. When asked if the on-air tribute to the show indicates it is Clark's last year appearing on the program, Mark Shapiro, the chief executive of Dick Clark Productions, tells the New York Times, "That's a great question, and the only one that knows that answer is Dick himself." Clark later said in an email, "I hope not."

Guess the Celebrity Balls!

photo of josh duhamel balls basketball uniform pics Ever wanted to know what probably *slaps Fergie in the face on the regular as she tries to be sexy and pull stunts in the bedroom? Because now you do. And I've gone ahead and ruined the whole "guessing" part of this game, because I've given it away. The exposed balls belong to Josh Duhamel, and now that they're out there, and I've posted them for the world to see, I'm wondering if it violates some kind of law, because I don't quite know how old Josh Duhamel is in that picture. He better be eighte...

Love It or Leave It: Ashanti’s Hot Mess

photo of ashanti fashion pictures hot 2012 photo So, the reality is that we don't often talk about Ashanti around here unless she's joining the Black Eyed Peas, her tits, or ... well, that's all, but this time she's going to make her own damned category for looking like trash on a sweltering day. In slippers. What the hell is this, girl? It reminds me much of the time when Christina Ricci decided she'd try to pull her boobs out of a top hat while it tried to eat her clavicle, and to dredge up that kind of suppressed memory (guys, it's a two-year-old memory), it's got to be pretty heinous....

Happy Birthday, Victoria Beckham NOW EAT YOUR CAKE

photo of victoria beckham's fruit cake pictures The TwitPic caption: Birthday lunch!!! such a lovely day!!!! X vb First, does it make it that much better to use three!!! exclamation points!!! or maybe four!!!!? Because all of that shift-holding really cramps my pinky. And I don't understand the whole overuse there, either. This was Victoria Beckham's sorry-ass excuse for a birthday cake. It was a pile of fruit on a plate. A pile of fruit that she probably didn't even eat in its entirety. Or if she did, it was probably the equivalent ...

Watch This: “Hot Problems”

All I can really say about this video is that these two numbwits make Courtney Stodden look like a f-cking MIT graduate who also happens to be naturally gorgeous, talented, generous, and intriguing. The video's called "Hot Problems," and it's about two young girls who are so hot---who say that they embody "textbook perfection"---and the problems they have (like people thinking they're stuck up and, like, stuff like that, like like like like like AND LIKE). The thing is, yeah. I know they're young girls (probably no older than Kylie and Kendall Jenner), but they're going to end up like Kylie and Kendall Jenner, who are going to end up like Kim Kardashian if they don't watch out. I know that idea probably seems really, really cool to them at the tender age of fourteen or whatever, but when they're thirty and have fifteen-plus years of sabotaging every human interaction that's come their way, they might have some pretty deep-seated regrets about living their "problematic" lives. Just take this line from their song: "hot girls we have problems too/we're just like you/except we're hot." Please, you know? PLEASE. The girls cleverly call themselves Double Take, and their official single on YouTube might be one of the most-hated videos of all time. As I watch, it's got 1,235 likes and 16,935 dislikes. That's got to be some kind of record. Move over, Rebecca Black, you're no longer the biggest juvenile twat on the "music" scene. All in all, the video, the song, and the girls all make me want to kill myself. But I won't. You know why? Because I'm way too curious to see if this turns out to be a real thing, and if it does? Well, I'll just kill myself then. That seems like it'd be an appropriate time. /> All I can really say about this video is that these two numbwits make Courtney Stodden look like a f-cking MIT graduate who also happens to be naturally gorgeous, talented, generous, and intriguing.

Adrien Brody for Lacoste, Just Because I WANT HIM
