“Labor Pains” Gives Me Forehead Pains

When she’s not telling the world how much she loves Samantha Ronson, Lindsay Lohan is doing what is sometimes called “acting” in front of cameras.  Her newest “film”, Labor Pains, just came out with a trailer, and from the looks of things, seems slated to be one of the most boring movies ever created.

Girl must pretend to be pregnant to keep her job.  Lindsay Lohan wears fake belly.  Good God.  I just…can’t…stop…laughing.

Watch the trailer.  And then let us know how much money you put on this movie tanking like a bath tub full of bricks.


Your First Look at ‘Quantum of Solace’ — and Craig Abs

James Bond. I used to not care. Then Daniel Craig took over. And I cared.

Forget that the title of the second installment of the updated Bond franchise makes little to no sense (at least to people like me), and mark your calendars for October 31, 2008 -- the date when Quantum of Solace premieres (seriously..I wikipediaed "quantum" and it has something to do with energy and momentum and photons...so like, the "indivisible entity of a quantity of solace"?).

Anyhoo, the main reason most of us probably want to see this movie is because Craig is guaranteed to be bare-chested a lot and if we pray really hard - naked. He was naked in the last one. Who cared that he was being tortured while being naked? All I saw were Craig abs.

If you can't wait until October to get your Craig fix, here's the new trailer for Quantum. It seems complicated. I'm not sure what they're talking about. But Judy Dench is there again! And 007 is shirtless for 2.5 seconds! Plus, the James Bond music is all badass in the background.

PS: In case you're wondering, the full on abs shot is at 1:35. Christmas in July, baby.


Jessica Simpson’s New Movie is Gonna Suck

blonde-ambition-movie1.jpgI know you all have been waiting on bated breath for a first glimpse into Jessica Simpson’s upcoming summer movie, Blonde Ambition.

The wait is over. You can breathe now!

Joining Ms. Mayer in the cast are Luke Wilson, (who must have gotten bribed into making this, although he seems to have a pension for movies with the word “Blonde” in the titles) Rachel Leigh Cook (who, since She’s All That, has seemed to drop off the face of the earth) and Andy Dick (hmmm….’nuff said).

The plot goes something like this: Jess is a small town country bumpkin who dreams big and miraculously finds herself immersed in big city life, bla bla bla.

She finds trouble when she gets wound up between two executive business men who both use her as a pawn to work their way up in the corporate world. Of course, she’s handed a perfect job in a swanky company without even trying and is given a “makeover” that entails hair extensions and a tight skirt, before any real magic can happen. Of course. Let the hilarious shenanigans ensue! Read More »
