Kristen Bell’s Got a Lot of Tattoos

Nah, of course she doesn't. Do you think someone who loves sloth as much as K-Bell does would have this many tattoos? Kind of reminds me of Michelle "Bombshell!" McGee, and if you don't know who she is, you probably need to click this link right here and familiarize yourself right up. Because then you'll know *exactly* what I mean. Michelle McGee would probably rather kick sloths - or, you know, f-ck them behind their wife's back - than ever get that emotional over an animal, and that's the rationalization I'm using to say that people who have '666' tattooed on their midsections don't love sloths like Kristen Bell does. In proper fame form, the people at Funny or Die have hopped on the "Who's popular for this millisecond" bandwagon and offered Kristen Bell a FOD skit because she's hot off the sloth-train and everyone thinks she's endearing and cute and quirky now, instead of a forgettable, suck-up annoyance who played on ... what was that one show she was on? Oh. Right. Veronica Mars. I had a friend that used to watch that show. Just one. Friend, that is. Just one time. I think there was also that brief Heroes thing, however I'm pretty sure that Hayden Panettiere was more The Chick in that show - the one that people really talked about. Even Kristen herself. But it looks like Kristen's finally getting her due and people are paying attention to who she is, what she's done, and where she's going, and after watching last week's sloth video, I have to say that she's definitely earned her new, endearing-like public persona. So that means this video was completely OK, but I still think you should go back and look at the old Michelle Bombshell posts, because they're pretty important to pop culture's impressive history and all that. Or something. Plus, she's really funny looking, and that's entertainment right there, folks. />Kristen Bell's Body of Lies from Kristen Bell Nah, of course she doesn't.

Rachel Bilson (?) Did ‘Funny or Die’, is a Sexy Rapping Doctor I Guess

I'm sorry, but this just might be the worst thing I've ever seen on the internet. Aside from streaming episodes of Hart of Dixie, where Rachel Bilson plays a fish-out-of-water doctor from New York City adjusting to small-town life down south, that is. That's pretty bad, too, but this? This is just The Most Awful Ever. I honestly think I'd be OK with watching 'I Love My Friends' on loop for an hour than have to sit through this again, and that's kind of awful, too. The video is horrible, the language is NSFW, just so you're aware, and Rachel Bilson has probably never been more unlikable in life. Then again, I never really cared much for Rachel Bilson enough to talk about her, let alone actually form an opinion, so this might be a total win for her. Is that what you were going for, Rach? Because if it was - if it was a ploy just to get people to formulate an opinion on you one way or the other, good or bad - then I suppose it was a complete and utter success. If not, well. I'd be curious to see who gave you the thumbs-up that this'd be a fun, campy thing for you to do because they were wrong. Thoughts, friends? Is it really all that bad, or am I just being hormonal and quite easily turned off today? Both are really safe options, you know. I'm OK with either. />Call Me Doctor with Rachel Bilson from Rachel Bilson I'm sorry, but this just might be the worst thing I've ever seen on the internet.

Meet the Star of Tonight’s ‘Criminal Minds,’ Jeff Newburg

Photo: Rising star Jeff Newburg plays a crucial role in tonight's 'Criminal Minds' Jeff Newburg is one to watch. He is one of the most audaciously talented individuals I've yet had the privilege of encountering. And I'll be honest with you: it's easy to write him off because, at least in person, he's a little too good-looking to take seriously. (Ladies!) As an actor, Jeff Newburg is subtle and careful. Which is interesting, because Everyday Newburg is emotive and animated and very loose. The interview format actually shortchanges him, and this is very much my fault: it'...

Watch This: The Best Rick Perry Parody Ad Yet

Hey! Come over here! I want you to meet someone. Reader, this is a friend of mine. His name is The Best Video on the Whole Internet. I know, I know, it's kind of audacious of me, but I thought you two would really hit it off. Video, meet Reader. I've heard Reader is super into those Funny or Die videos, which are all the rage. You two are gonna have a lot to talk about, I just know it. (You can watch the original Rick Perry "Strong" campaign ad here; meanwhile, six great parodies are embedded here.) /> Hey! Come over here!

Watch This: Tim Meadows Returns (!!) as Herman Cain

I know our US readers have been following the presidential candidates with aplomb (right?), eager to see who the Republican party will nominate for the presidency in 2012. Floundering among the current roster of candidates is Herman Cain: entrepreneur, former CEO and chairman of Godfather's Pizza, and seemingly all-around likable guy. But since last month, Cain's campaign has been blighted by repeated accusations of sexual harassment and misconduct. (Ugh, and then the Ginger White stuff.) Moving right along: where the heck has Tim Meadows been?? I feel like the SNL alumnus has sadly made himself scarce (although he's apparently really busy, but whatever). Meadows! How I've missed you! In this Funny or Die video, Tim Meadows plays the allegedly-handsy presidential candidate. It's an "anti-harassment" training video and---well, I think you can see where this is all going. The video went viral yesterday, but I decided it was one of those "Y'know, let's save it for Saturday" things. Like, maybe the all-too-obvious pepperoni joke skims NSFW territory, so hopefully you're already parked on your couch with your laptop for the weekend. /> I know our US readers have been following the presidential candidates with aplomb (right?), eager to see who the Republican party will nominate for the presidency in 2012.

Brett Ratner Resigns as Oscars Producer, Proving He Is Not Such a Crappy Dude After All

Photo: Brett Ratner on November 3, 2011 in Hollywood, California. Whoops! I see, now, that it is difficult to fit Brett Ratner's entire head on just one website. My apologies. Let's all catch up: a short while ago, X-Men 3 director Brett Ratner was doing press rounds for his new flick Tower Heist, which reportedly is not a good movie. (Surprise! Sorry, guys, I know you were excited.) And in the course of a Q&A, he actually managed to utter the phrase "Rehearsal is for f*gs." And on the one hand, Oh! How edgy and off-the-cuff, Mr. John Mayer! And on a...

Watch This: the Scariest Child Star

Photo: Chloe Moretz as 'Scary Girl' Enid Krysinski It's sad, you guys, but I had to give up my ghost-movie-watching hobby. It's like, if you lie awake at night picturing some Kayako tiptoeing out of your chifferobe, or you panic slightly when you hear a CD skip, you have to finally say 'when.' But what if every yurei were really only an ordinary, angsty teenager, just trying to make a name for herself in Hollywood? Here's Funny or Die with its Halloween-themed special, "Scary Girl." Enid Krysinski just wants to go to the mall! And h...

Watch This: the Trailer for Jason Reitman’s ‘Young Adult’ Is Here!

Oh man, oh man, oh man. This trailer looks so good, right? Charlize Theron stars in Young Adult as Mavis Gary, an insufferable "young adult" fiction writer who returns to her Minnesota hometown hoping to make her old high school boyfriend fall in love with her (thanks, IMDb). And! It co-stars my dream man, Patrick Wilson, who plays the guy Mavis can't have. And! Patton Oswalt plays the unwilling wingman, an acquaintance from high school who obviously puts up with Mavis's ish because she's so darn cute and catty. I have totally high hopes for this one you guys---like, even higher hopes than I had for One for the Money. For one thing, anyone who's watched Arrested Development or "Between Two Ferns" knows Charlize has done her career a major disservice, because she has mad comedic timing. Patton Oswalt I'm actually so-so on---I know it isn't fair to hold King of Queens against him, but I just do---but since he is a Career Nerd, I have to stand with him in solidarity. Then there's Patrick Wilson, whose filmography is a veritable Rosetta's Stone of What? Hngh. Love him. But most importantly, this flick is a Jason Reitman joint. It's great to see him again paired with breakout screenwriter Diablo Cody (they made Juno together), and this movie could be infinitely more affable. Who wants to see a 15-year old act like she's 35, anyway? I'd much rather see a 35-year old act like she's 15. Now you're speakin' my language, Cody. /> Oh man, oh man, oh man.

Leah Remini Does Funny or Die (Ashley Tisdale Does, Too, But It’s More ‘Die’ Than ‘Funny’)

Isn't Leah Remini the greatest? And do we remember her way back in the Saved by the Bell days, when she played Zack's summer love interest, Stacey Carosi, who was the daughter of the guy who ran the beach club where the gang all stayed? That was just THE LIMIT. Also, this is as close as I've ever gotten to watching Toddlers & Tiaras. Tell me, readers, is this how it really goes? Because if it is ... we are gonna have a lot of messed up, entitled, twattish girls down the road, as if we don't already have enough the way it is. />Toddlers & Tiaras with Ashley Tisdale from Ashley Tisdale Isn't Leah Remini the greatest?

Watch This: Tracy Morgan on “7 Minutes in Heaven”

A picture of SNL writer Mike O'Brien sneaking a kiss off Tracy Morgan Last week, just for funsies, I caught myself up on every episode of "7 Minutes in Heaven"---it didn't take too long, actually, since the weekly video series is pretty new. (Recommended: guests Elijah Wood, Kristen Wiig, and Jason Sudeikis.) Maybe it's easy to compare the "7 Minutes" web series to "Between Two Ferns"; instead of being caught between two ferns, each guest is trapped in close quarters with the host, SNL writer Mike O'Brien. The similarities basically end there, though. In most...

Watch This: Don Cheadle Is Captain Planet

Dramatic heavyweight Don Cheadle pulls a Steve Brule and stars in this Funny or Die video as that eponymous superhero of 1990s environmentalism, Captain Planet! Warning: this video is pretty weird, and probably NSFW. Still, it features Brenda Song, Gillian Jacobs (Britta from Community), plus Efren "Vote for Pedro" Ramirez---and also, uh, two other dudes---as the multicultural Planeteers. Not quite childhood-ruining, but it definitely toes the line. /> Dramatic heavyweight Don Cheadle pulls a Steve Brule and stars in this Funny or Die video as that eponymous superhero of 1990s environmentalism, Captain Planet!
