But Internet rumors are flying that MTV is planning a remake of the 1975 musical, The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Conceived by Richard O’Brien, the story follows a […]

Though I don’t always go for the crude humor, their […]

Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly on The Today Show - VIDEO

Check out this clip of Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, talking up their new movie, Step Brothers, which opens in theaters this Friday, July 25, 2008. Ok, I don’t always like Will Ferrell’s stuff (see my note on Anchorman), but this movie really does look like goofy fun. But rats, it’s rated R for […]

Miley Cyrus Wears a Purity Ring - VIDEO

Think it’s easy being a superstar teenager/singer/actress?

Will Ferrell: Anchorman 2? Say It Ain’t So!

Let me say right off the bat that I HATED Anchorman. And I have friends who absolutely raved about it, which made me wonder what the heck is wrong with me.
