After recently releasing the trailer for the highly anticipated movie adaptation of Where The Wild Things Are, Spike Jonze has now created a trailer for another classic children's book adaptation: Everybody Poops. Even though I only see Everybody Poops being sold in stores such as Urban Outfitters, you can bet it got me through some tough times whe I was younger. Is it bad that I would totally pay to see this movie?

Lindsay Lohan is SO fetch! Maybe not.

Lindsay Lohan graces the cover of yet another Us Weekly magazine this week, only this time she's here to talk about her recent breakup with long time lover, Samantha Ronson. Poor Lindsay Lohan. While her career showed great promise after her starring role in Mean Girls and The Parent Trap (come on, she played twins!), her personal life has often over-shadowed her professional life. With duds like the underrated Georgia Rule and unintentionally funny I Know Who Killed Me, Lohan's big comeback movie was supposed to be the pre-natal comedy, Labor Pains. But as the story goes, Lohan's next flick will be taking the ABC Family route. Yes, Labor Pains will air this summer, probably after an Au Pair marathon (not that I'm complaining). Watch the trailer below and see if you think Lohan deserves another chance with her love life and with her career:
Zac Efron's Tool Party
Funny or Die released its newest video this morning, starring Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Nicole Richie, Joel Madden and Brody Jenner, to name a few. Co-directed by Hairspray's Adam Shankman, the video revolves around Zac Efron's fictional pool party. The video has its moments, but there's something about tool extraordinaire Brody Jenner discussing our current financial crisis that just rubs me the wrong way. Watch the video below:
Amadeus, Amadeus
If you've seen Adventureland (and if you haven't, see it now), chances are you've had Falco's Rock Me Amadeus stuck in your head ever since you left the theater. Here's the music video in all its 80s glory and try and resist singing along:

10 Things I Might, Perhaps, Like or Hate About This Idea
Reports surfaced a few months back that ABC Family was working on a television adaptation of the quintessential 90s film, 10 Things I Hate About You. It was announced today that the sitcom version of 10 Things I Hate About You will be part of ABC Family's summer roster. Good news? Bad news? Utter catastrophe? While the film is undeniably one of my favorite movies, I'm not sure if an ABC Family sitcom will be able to do the movie justice. However, the fact that Larry Miller will be reprising his role as Mr. Statford is promising. All feelings aside, you can bet I'll be tuning in to watch when this series premieres on July 7th.
In the mean time, check out this 10 second promo that doesn't really give us any inclination as to how positively or negatively it might turn out:

Giddy for "Glee"
Thankfully, Fox is running promos for its newest show Glee throughout American Idol, the most watched program on television. Premiering on May 19th, Glee is the newest edition to the Fox lineup. Not only does Glee star Spring Awakening's Lea Michele and Role Models' Jane Lynch, but it comes from the genius that is Ryan Murphy, creator of the brilliant television shows Popular and Nip/Tuck. According to FOX.com, Glee is "a one-hour musical comedy that follows an optimistic high school teacher as he tries to transform the Glee Club and inspire a group of ragtag performers to make it to the biggest competition of all: Nationals."
Hopefully, this bastard child of High School Musical, Freaks and Geeks and Fame will live up to my expectations. Check out the promo below:

Ghosts of Matthew McConaughey's Career
While I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a huge lover of romantic comedies, how many times can we watch a movie where Matthew McConaughey tries to deal with his relationship problems? How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days was charming and The Wedding Planner--face it--was brilliant. Right now, McConaughey needs to rid himself of that perennial bachelor label and do something that won't eventually end up on TBS.
Take a look at the trailer. Will McConaughey's latest flick Ghosts of Girlfriends Past be another disaster like Fool's Gold?

The Fast and the Bi-Curious?
The always lovable Seth Rogen hosted Saturday Night Live this past weekend, and while the show may not have been as great as his first stint hosting, there were still some pretty funny sketches. My favorite would have to be Seth Rogen and Andy Samberg's take on the recently released movie, The Fast and the Furious--err, I mean, Fast and Furious. I would have never guessed that Paul Walker and Vinn Diesel could have so much sexual tension.
NBC's "Kings" not so regal after all
After garnering pretty miserable ratings for the past few weeks, NBC's newest drama Kings is being pulled from its prime location on Sunday nights to the television graveyard that is Saturday night . Although I haven't seen an episode of Kings, it seemed to be a pretty promising new show. Unfortunately for NBC, viewers just weren't interested in watching this modern interpretation of David and Goliath.

Take a look at the trailer for Kings and try and tune in before this show joins the likes of Pushing Daisies and Life on Mars.

Even though there are no Jews on the island...


Earlier in the day, Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly posted an amazing website on his Twitter account that compares the television show Lost to the Jewish Holiday, Passover. Being an avid Lost-watcher, as well as being one of the chosen people, I have to say that the similarities are truly uncanny. My favorite is probably the comparison between the Smoke Monster and the Ten Commandments. There may be no Jews on the island, but we can sure as hell bet God is definitely a fan of Lost.
