So Jamie Foxx and Howard Stern are fighting.  The back story on this is that Howard Stern committed the cardinal sin of not pretending to not notice that Gabourey Sidibe is enormously fat.  Look, people, from what I’ve seen, she seems like an intelligent, genuine, and funny person, but let’s stop acting like the first thing you notice about her isn’t that she’s 400 pounds.  Cut the sh*t.  It’s a lie and it’s patronizing.  “I love her spirit!” F*ck you.  She’s fat, not retarded.  Anyway, Jamie Foxx (who also has a radio show on Sirius) took offense to that and ripped Stern. To which Stern said:

“I gotta sh*tload of stuff on Jamie which isn’t a lot of fun…even the name change to Foxx, it’s interesting that he chose the name ‘Jamie,’ I could get into the whole f***ing thing…My guess is we’re probably not on the same team. I think he’s playing for a way different team. I don’t know what team he’s on but it ain’t my team.”

That could be interpreted a few different ways.  Maybe he thinks Jamie Foxx isn’t on the making-fun-of-Precious-team.  Or that he isn’t on the Jews-who-look-like-Joey-Ramone team.  For whatever reason, Jamie Foxx took it to mean he was gay, and said this: Read the rest of this entry »

I would like nothing more than for the world to stop paying attention to this mealy, fuzz-headed queef, but every other story this morning is just as boring, so here we go: James Cameron called Glenn Beck an A-hole at a junket a few days ago, as, obviously, they have differing views on global warming.  So then Glenn Beck went on his show last night and did his usual act of amusing the sh*t out of himself without ever actually saying anything the least bit funny or interesting, put on 3D glasses and called James Cameron a “smurf murderer.”  Hilarious and interesting, right?  F*ck yourselves.

Aw yeah, nothing like an obscure internet feud to start off the new year.  So apparently Neil Patrick Harris was asking his Twitter followers to support him in the AfterElton.com Man of the Decade awards (editor’s note: I have no idea what that is).  NPH’s followers and Kevin Smith’s overlap, and some fans appealed to Kevin Smith for his vote.  At which point Smith said he wasn’t a fan of NPH, citing this exchange from an interview NPH did while promoting the Harold & Kumar sequel:

Neil Patrick Harris: They were smart for actually hiring two actors that were actual actors playing parts, instead of hiring two sort of dudes that were those guys. They didn’t hire like Jason Mewes and the other dude… Silent Bob… What is that movie Jay and Silent Bob, like what’s Jay’s name?
Quint: Jason Mewes, you were right.
Neil Patrick Harris: He was this drugged out mess of a guy that was his friend and so he just cast him in the movie and filmed him doing crazy sh*t.

Kevin Smith took offense to that, which is natural, considering putting Jason Mewes in his movies is the best thing he’s ever done.  From Movieline:

“I mean, why say something like that?” Smith tweeted. “S’not true OR respectful of a fellow performer. Dude essentially said Mewes isn’t an actor. Wow…It’s a snobby, reductive diss.” The director has continued to defend Mewes and lay into Harris over the last twelve hours of nonstop Twittering, writing that Harris’s accusation “is not only untrue, it minimizes Mewes’ contributions as AN ACTOR. It’s a narrow-minded, ignorantly reductive sentiment, patched together from quasi-facts that aren’t even related. It’s akin to me knowing NPH is gay & knowing he’s on [How I Met Your Mother], and then somehow coming to the conclusion that his process must include a d*ck in his mouth right before each take… & THEN EXPRESSING THAT SAME BAFFLING IGNORANCE IN AN INTERVIEW.”

To which Neil Patrick Harris fired back:

UPDATE: It’s not an update per se, but I added the Fantastic Mr. Fox featurette video after the jump which shows Wes Anderson directing and explains the process.

A while back, I reported on Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr. Fox, and how he’d directed the movie via email from Paris.  Since Fox is stop-motion animated, and it’s not really the director’s job to build the puppets or miniature sets, it’s debatable how big a deal him not physically being there is.  But his main reason for not being there seems to be “because I didn’t want to”, and his animators don’t seem to like him much.  The LA Times did a feature on it over the weekend:

Anderson [made the] unorthodox decision to hole up in Paris for most of the shoot’s one-year duration while principal photography commenced at London’s Three Mills Studios. He wasn’t working on another project, and nothing Paris-centric demanded he be there; Anderson simply “didn’t want to be at Three Mills Studios for two years.”

The move did little to endear Anderson to his subordinates. “It’s not in the least bit normal,” director of photography Tristan Oliver observed last spring. “I’ve never worked on a picture where the director has been anywhere other than the studio floor!”

For his part, Anderson implies that his crew might be disgruntled because he asked them to do things differently, not because he wasn’t there:

Christ, I should be working at the Enquirer with these headlines.  Anyway, we all remember when Katherine Heigl whined because Knocked Up was sexist, right?  Good.  Well Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow recently went on Howard Stern, who naturally asked them about her.  They responded by saying the obvious things, but it was still cool because Katherine Heigl is a bitch.

Rogen says he doesn’t see how Heigl’s new comedy, The Ugly Truth, makes women look even better. “That [movie] looks like it really puts women on a pedestal in a beautiful way,” he quipped.
Added Apatow, “I hear there’s a scene where she’s wearing … Underwear …with a vibrator in it, so I’d have to see if that was uplifting for women.”
Even more baffling, said Apatow, “We never had a ‘fight’” with Heigl while filming. “Seth always says, it doesn’t make any sense – she improvised half her s***,” Apatow said. [USWeekly]

And then Rogen was all, “Yeah dude, it’s like she doesn’t even have a BRAIN!” and I looked over and he was totally holding his nuts so it looked like a brain.  So hilarious, bro, you should’ve been there.
