‘Doctor Who’ Gets The LEGO Treatment, Because Everything IS Awesome

by 9 mins ago

Fantastic! Allons-y! Geronimo! Everything is awesome! I’m … so, so sorry?

Well, most of the famous “Doctor Who” (and “The LEGO Movie”) sayings apply to this block-for-block recreation of our favorite moments from the “Doctor Who” 50th anniversary special, “The Day of the Doctor.”

YouTube user bookshelfproductions painstakingly reenacted the coolest parts of the 2013 hit, with actual audio from Matt Smith, David Tennant, Billie Piper, John Hurt, Jenna Coleman, and Christopher Eccleston JUST KIDDING accompanying the brick work. Everything about this is wonderful — Smith and Tennant’s Lego-selves are a revelation — but it’s worth it just to see the Lego TARDIS alone.

“Doctor Who” returns for its eighth series on August 23.

5SOS’ Luke Hemmings Turns 18, And Twitter Literally Explodes

It’s July 16, so do you know what that means? It’s Luke Hemmings’ 18th birthday. With all due respect to the Feast Day of Bishop Gondulphus of Tongeren, the 5 Seconds Of Summer frontman’s big day is the only thing that matters until the clock strikes midnight.

By the looks of how heavily #HappyBirthdayLukeHemmings has been trending on Twitter, you’ve all got this on lock. Let’s check out the best, most feelings-infused birthday tweets from the fandom, along with messages from the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards performer’s fellow 5SOS bandmates.

Mikey revealed he’d be getting Luke “a hug.”

I guess the face-squeeze was a surprise?

Calum also wished Luke a happy birthday.

A bunch of 5SOS fans made Luke fan art.

Josh Hutcherson Thinks He’s Pablo Escobar’s Son In ‘Paradise Lost’ Teaser

by 18 mins ago

Josh Hutcherson was already taken captive in “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” and it looks like he’s going that route again.

The young star plays Nick, a surfer who visits Colombia, only to be taken in by legendary drug lord Pablo Escobar (played by Benicio del Toro and not Vinny Chase, sadly). At first it seems that the relationship is friendly: Hutcherson even says, “You said I was like a son to you.” But clearly by the end, things are not going to go well, as del Toro’s Escobar tells him, “No one escapes Pablo Escobar.”

First the Capital, now the most notorious drug lord of all time? Hutcherson’s gotta stop hanging out with the wrong crowd.

The teaser only offers brief glimpses into del Toro’s portrayal of Escobar himself, though he has the patented awesome mustache and accent which are synonymous with the drug lord. Escobar seems to also have more of a supporting role, a la Forrest Whitaker in “Last King of Scotland,” with Hutcherson’s character being the fish out of water through which the audience sees Escobar’s operation.

Will this be better than Vinny Chase’s “Medellín” (I swear, last “Entourage” reference)? Check out the teaser and let us know.

‘Teen Mom 2′ Sneak Peek: Chelsea’s Esthetician License Is Suddenly Out Of Reach

by 20 mins ago

Chelsea celebrated the completion of her esthetician program last season on “Teen Mom 2,” but now some unexpected news is forcing her to put her work life on hold.

In the sneak peek from the show’s season premiere, the young mom gets a notification from The Department of Labor saying they’re charging her with violating its protocol.

“So I just got this letter in the mail — they’re withholding my license because of the wedding I helped you with,” she tells her friend Landon on the phone. The duo, along with Chelsea’s daughter Aubree, then meet for lunch to discuss the situation.

“Please find a copy of a complaint that has been filed against you for performing aesthetic service for a wedding while you were unlicensed,” she reads from the letter before deducing, “So basically, you can’t do it if you’re getting paid — which we weren’t.”

Landon agrees. “You kind of were helping me,” he says. “I was overwhelmed with the amount of people.”

So what will Chelsea do now that her license is in danger? Watch the entire clip to find out, and be sure to tune in to the season premiere of “Teen Mom 2″ tonight at 10/9c!

Aly Michalka From ‘Two And A Half Men’ Is Engaged

by 41 mins ago

Aly Michalka is engaged! The 25-year-old actress and boyfriend Stephen Ringer have decided to get married, and the wedding is set for July 8, 2015.

The “Two And A Half Men” guest star (and former member of the “Phil Of The Future” cast, for all you Disney Channel fans) took to Instagram and Twitter to share the news late Tuesday night, showing off a huge diamond ring with the caption, “So this happened…..7/8.” The date may or may not be coincidental, considering the numbers show up in her and her sister’s band name, 78Violet.

Before the singer announced the engagement, she posted a hint on Instagram, and seemed to have been wearing the ring around at an event, where no one noticed.

Congrats!

We’ve already gotten a look at what Yaya DeCosta and Arien Escarpeta as Houston and Bobby Brown, but what will Whitney sound like?

According to E! News, it will be R&B songstress Deborah Cox who will will be the voice that brings Houston’s iconic discography to life for the Angela Bassett-directed film.

“I really just want to tell a story about a boy and a girl who fell in love,” said Bassett, who co-starred with Houston in “Waiting To Exhale.” And I want to be as honest as I can about doing that.”

7 Things You Will And Won’t See In The ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Footage At Comic-Con

by 14 mins ago

The nerd-centric population of the earth is eagerly awaiting next week’s San Diego Comic-Con, the legendary annual gathering at which fans and artists collide, footage is shown and the world gets its first look at any number of upcoming movies.

Well, like Christmas in July, Comic-Con has come a bit early for a small group of press. Journalists got a sneak peek at about 15 minutes of footage from the upcoming “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” a hot-out-of-the-editing-room duo of sequences that will be shown to thousands of eager fans in Hall H at next week’s SDCC panel.

We can’t tell you much about what we saw — after all, the best part of getting to see the footage is going in unspoiled and letting it be a surprise — but we can feed you a few select tidbits about your favorite genetically strange reptiles to tide you over. Without further ado, here are seven things we did and did not see in today’s footage preview.

YES: Nunchuks, Bowstaff, etc.

Don’t worry, the turtles are still rocking their signature weapons — and to great effect. And they’re not just using them on their human enemies in the villainous Foot Clan. Expect vehicles and buildings to feel the pain, as well as clever non-fighting uses of the weapons to get out of sticky situations.

NO: Pizza!

If we know one thing about turtles of the teenage mutant ninja variety, it’s that they love pizza. Not that you’d know that from what we ...

Rihanna Clarifies She Just Wants ‘Peace’ After ‘#FreePalestine’ Tweet

by 49 mins ago

Despite a tweet that she was choosing sides, Rihanna clarified on Tuesday (July 15) that all she wants is “peace and a swift end” to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The “Diamonds” singer made the statement hours after she tweeted “#FreePalestine” — reportedly by mistake — garnering many angry responses from fans. The message was retweeted and favorited thousands of times before she deleted it just 8 minutes later.

She offered no explanation for the #FreePalestine message in her tweet Tuesday evening, but a source close to the singer told TMZ that she was reading about the conflict when she inadvertently tweeted it.

“She deleted it because it was never meant to be tweeted,” the source explained. “She didn’t even realize it was a tweet until she started hearing from her fans.”

Rihanna has rarely been one to comment on foreign affairs. Just three days ago, NBA star Dwight Howard sent out the exact same tweet and quickly deleted it, explaining, “previous tweet was a mistake. I have never commented on international politics and never will.”
