* Jon and Kate Plus 8 is soon to be Jon and Kate + 8 – Jon. He’s looking for a new place to live.This is so sad.

* New Modest Mouse song! It’s called “Whale Song” so you know that it’s good.

* Sherlock Holmes’s posters! Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law! Exciting!

* The Proposal and Year One both come out today! Which is your pick? Which movie do you think will do better? As much as I love me some Ryan Reynolds, Michael Cera will always win my heart.

* Jennifer Love Hewitt wrote a book on dating. Probably because she has the word “love” in her name.

* Two of my favourite people are going to have a TV show together! Jason Schwartzman (rumored to be in Toronto right now), and Zach Galifianakis (the crazy one from The Hangover) are going to be in an HBO show series titled Bored to Death. It will premiere in September and also features other favorites of mine Parker Posey, and Kristen Wiig! It looks so good!

* Katherine Heigl is returning to Grey’s Anatomy and T.R. Knight is leaving.

Dear Sandra Bullock: I Propose Less Tomfoolery

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

Remember that time when people who wanted to promote movies made legitimate trailers where they got Don LaFontaine to do the voice over and there were either explosions or hijinks or both?

Apparently that time is over. Funny or Die put this video up recently, and, well, I know this is supposed to be funny, and there are some good laughs, sure, but the whole thing seems kinda over-done. I mean, we all know, we KNOW, that Betty White can’t possibly be that mean in real life. You know? And I’m sure after his stint as Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds wouldn’t stand for that kinda smack talk. It’s like they’re doing what everyone would expect them to do if they were changing everyone’s personalities around.

So I think I’m gonna have to vote “DIE” here. What do you think? Is this totally hilarious and I’m completely wrong? Or does it really just… fizzle out… around the halfway mark?
