Celebrate The ‘Forrest Gump’ 20-Year Anniversary With This By-The-Numbers Tribute

by 3 mins ago

It’s been 20 years since the simple but lovable Forrest Gump first sat on that bus stop bench and told his heartwarming tale of love, ping pong, getting shot in the buttocks, running, accidentally stumbling upon historical moments, and life lessons.

The romantic-comedy-drama has since become an American classic and will get another run on the IMAX screen in September, but until then, grab a box of chocolates and check out this “Forrest Gump” by-the-numbers infographic, because I’m sure you’ve been wondering: Just how many ways can Bubba cook shrimp?

“That’s all I have to say about that.”

Zac Efron Table-Dancing To ‘Wiggle’ Is A Gift To Us All

by 51 mins ago

Zac Efron proved he’s still got those “High School Musical” moves with an amazing, hip-shaking choreographed dance to Jason Derulo’s ode to the booty, “Wiggle“. All on a table.

The hunky actor, vacationing in Italy, was joined by pals Youssef Giga and Gianluca Vacchi, who shared the gem to Instagram over the weekend with the caption “dancing on the table for girls me , Zac @zacefron,youssef @youssefgiga”. Who are these girls? Serious FOMO happening here.

As if we weren’t already swooning, Vacchi, an Italian digital entrepreneur also shared a second video of Efron, shirtless and showing off those buff biceps and 0 percent body fat, lounging on a dock. Next to him, “Fast & Furious” star Michelle Rodriguez, performs an impressive headstand.

It’s OK, no one will know if you keep hitting the replay button.

Miley Cyrus’ Rainbow Wig Is Seven Shades Of Awesome

by 21 mins ago

They say blondes have more fun, but what about rainbow? In her latest Instagram Miley Cyrus traded her bedazzled shower cap for a wig way more eye-catching than the famous blonde “Hannah Montana” hairpiece she wore back in the day.

The “Adore You” singer shared the fierce selfie of her wearing the vibrant rainbow wig complete with crop top and tongue out, with the caption “my new liewkkk.”

my new liewkkk 🌈

It makes total sense that the pop star with a penchant for the outrageous would rock the colored hair trend-by sporting seven shades at once.

We hope we haven’t seen the last of Miley’s amazing Rainbow-Brite tresses.

Justin Bieber Shares Instagram With Selena Gomez… Then Deletes It

by 06/11/14

It’s hard to keep track of the rollercoaster on-again, off-again relationship of Jelena, and on Wednesday (June 11), Justin Bieber threw us for another loop.

The “Boyfriend” singer posted a photo Wednesday (June 11) to Instagram with his ex, Selena Gomez, cuddling his head with the caption “Our love is unconditional,” according to reports. He then promptly deleted the pic after causing a fan frenzy, but JustJared was able to nab a screenshot.

SInstagram

So mysterious! The pop stars got cozy with each other at Coachella back in April, but they haven’t been seen together since, with Selena recently taking to Instagram to announce she was “taking my power back” on Instagram.

7 Disney Villains Who Would Make Their Own Pretty Wicked Movies

by 05/31/14

Disney’s latest, “Maleficent,” is a dream come true for fans who’ve always wanted a deeper look at the famous fairy tale villain.

I, for one, am dying to know why she chose a spinning wheel of all objects to inflict a curse on a child. But I can’t help but wonder, is she most deserving of Disney villains to get her own live-action film? A part of me wants to shake my (unhorned) head in dissatisfaction.

Disney films have been full of fascinating wicked guys with enough complexity to carry their own feature films. What made them become so darn evil?

Here are 7 villains who deserve their own movie too (I also took the liberty of casting them, you can thank me later, Disney):

gaston
Gaston From “Beauty and the Beast”
He’s your typical male-chauvinistic and boorish bad guy. Though no one’s slick like Gaston, no one’s quick like Gaston, no one’s neck’s as incredibly thick like Gaston’s.

A film on this fan favorite could explore why he is so obsessed with being the best at everything (daddy issues?), and why rejection from a girl he literally knows nothing about ultimately drove him to inspire the whole town into a raging mob. And most importantly, I need to know how he stays healthy eating five dozen eggs a day.

Who should play him: No one can…play Gaston like Joe Manganiello can — just look at those boulder-sized biceps.

hades
Hades from “Hercules”
A master at throwing shade, dishing out funny one-liners, and manipulating everyone, ...

11 Monsters Who Could Totally Take On Godzilla

by 05/16/14

As Gareth Edwards’ “Godzilla” reboot roars into theaters Friday (May 16), we’re excited for epic action, over-the-top explosions, and of course, the ultimate movie monster in all its magnificent CG glory.

For over five decades, Godzilla has terrorized cities and inspired awe in the hearts of movie-goers, but new monsters have been introduced that are stronger, smarter, and faster… making us wonder, does the 60-year-old radioactive giant lizard stand a chance against these newer creatures?

We think these monsters could serve up some swift competition against the legendary reptile:


Optimus Prime
The strongest and smartest of the Autobots, Prime also has the advantage of weapons like his energon axe that could do some major damage to the lizard king.


The Incredible Hulk
With unlimited power and strength, a resistance to any weapon and rapid healing powers, it’s clear the president should have Bruce Banner on speed dial in case Godzilla ever attacks.


Basilisk
One look at the giant snake from “Harry Potter” and the lizard king would be turned into an incredibly detailed stone statue you can go see at the Met.


Smaug
The arrogant dragon from “The Hobbit” pitted up against the King of Monsters would result in one ego-filled battle. However, Smaug is also known for being quite indifferent, more likely to taunt Godzilla about his tiny arms and go back to his hoard of gold, calling it a day.


James P. Sullivan
Sulley may look like a giant teddy bear, but don’t forget, he was top scarer at Monster’s Inc ...

Is This The ‘Grease Live’ Cast? We Hope So

by 04/29/14

By now you’ve heard Fox is bringing a live production of “Grease” to our TV screens in 2015 a la “Sound of Music Live.” Naturally, the first thing we did (besides grabbing our leather jackets and practicing the chorus of “Summer Nights”) was imagine who should fill the shoes of Sandy, Danny and the rest of the gang.

Here are the young stars we’re dreaming of to take on the roles of the iconic characters:

john_zac
Danny Zuko: Zac Efron
With his breakout role in the “Grease”-inspired “High School Musical,” we couldn’t imagine anyone better to play the handsome, tough-on-the-outside, sensitive-on-the-inside leader of the T-Birds. And maybe he could perform “Greased Lightning” shirtless?

ariana_sandy
Sandy Olsson: Ariana Grande
The popstar/actress is perfect to play the shy and sweet Sandy, and we can practically hear her belting out “Hopelessly Devoted To You” right now. 

kenickie
Kenickie: Michael B Jordon
We’d love to see the “Fruitvale Station” star as Danny’s right-hand man and loyal boyfriend of Rizzo.

naya
Betty Rizzo: Naya Rivera
The fierce “Glee” actress Naya Rivera would take her bad-girl status at McKinley High to Rydell High. 

anna
Frenchy: Anna Kendrick
We could see “The Pitch Perfect” and “Into The Woods” star as the pink-haired, fun loving Beauty School Dropout. 

taylor
Marty Maraschino: Taylor Swift
The Queen of Country was born to play the sophisticated and sultry boy-crazed Pink Lady. 

miles
Leo Balmudo: Miles Teller
He’s so hot right now. The versatile actor would crush the role as bad guy ...
