Rolling Stone published a full-page Q & A with Al Pacino in their new Mumford and Sons issue, discussing everything from his upcoming Phil Spector biopic (which may explain the hair) to his iconic overacting in Scarface. And they must’ve forgotten to get a picture of him while he was in the office and had to send out a guy with a telephoto lens to shoot him from under an overpass when he threw an overcoat over his pajamas to get coffee from a bodega at six in the morning. That’s what *I* gather from this, anyway.

Friends, I love nothing more than writing intelligent parody, critical analysis, and cultural criticism for you, and I hope that’s what keeps you coming back, but every once in a while I’m more than content to let the content flash its boobs and soak up page-views speak for itself. Here’s Sofia Vergara’s magnificent, lace-covered breasts in New York yesterday, where she was filming Fading Gigolo with Sharon Stone, which is being directed by John Turturro, and co-stars Woody Allen and Liev Schrieber. Sweet, all the pervs are here.

Fioravante decides to become a professional Don Juan as a way of making money to help his cash-strapped friend, Murray. With Murray acting as his “manager”, the duo quickly finds themselves caught up in the crosscurrents of love and money.

Every time Sharon Stone films a sex scene, I have to wonder if it involves a bathtub full of pee. Maybe she got nicer after her husband got bit by a Komodo dragon? I don’t know. Also, has anyone seen Romance & Cigarettes, John Turturro’s musical with James Gandolfini? It looked… strange. Anyway, long-story short, BOOBS! BOOBS! BOOBS! BOOBS! BOOBS! BOOBS! (*puts on foam cowboy hat, dances jig, fires two pistols into the air, which light a giant banner made of sparklers reading “BOOBS!” as skywriter flies by in biplane*)

Also, question for Spanish speakers: “Verga” is Spanish slang for penis. So couldn’t “Vergara” be taken to mean “penis handler” or “one who works with penises?” “Penis charmer,” perhaps? These are the things that keep me up at night.

Burt Wonderstone is currently shooting in Las Vegas, with veteran TV director Don Scardino working from a script by John Francis Daley (the mouth-breather kid from Freaks and Geeks) and Jonathan Goldstein (Horrible Bosses). In the film, which I assume will be like a sitcommy version of The Prestige, Steve Carell and Jim Carrey play dueling magicians. Which I suppose would explain why Jim Carrey is dressed like Johnny Depp on an average day.

I first told you about Ben Affleck’s Argo a few months ago, his third directawrial effit fawllowing the awbvious and totally wahrranted success of The Town, GO SAWX. It’s based on a 2007 Wired article, “How the CIA Used a Fake Sci-Fi Flick to Rescue Americans from Tehran,” about how a group of CIA operatives passed themselves off as the crew of a fake sci-fi film called Argo to rescue diplomats who’d gone into hiding after the Iranian revolution. Affleck will play CIA ‘exfiltration specialist’ Tony Mendez. Cast also includes Bryan Cranston, Alan Arkin, and John Goodman.

Empire just broke the first official image, and all I can think about is how much Affleck is a dead ringer for Harry Ellis in Die Hard (played by the incomparable Hart Bochner). Only he’s playing him very serious. That was always what I liked about Harry Ellis, he never took things too seriously. “See that watch? It’s a Rolex.”

“Babe, I negotiate million dollar deals for breakfast. I think I can handle this Ayatrailer trash. Homeini! Bubbie! Allahu Talkbar? …I’m your white knight.”

Empire Magazine has two covers for its latest issue featuring Christian Bale as Batman and Tom Hardy as Bane from The Dark Knight Rises, which opens in July. They’re calling this “The Ultimate Exclusive!”, and it must be very exciting for people who don’t have the internet. I still think Bane’s mask thingie looks like an elaborate ball gag. I can’t be the only person who looks at that and thinks of hardcore gay sex.
