James Marsden is not a Barry Manilow fan, no matter what you may have read in his IMDb.com bio. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the Bachelorette actor explains that he’s the victim of “a famous actor friend of mine” who “likes to go into other people’s bios and add things.”
Marsden won’t identify the guy, but apparently, the wiseacre managed to get the usually reliable IMDb to embellish the Enchanted actor’s bio with the erroneous tidbit that Marsden was a big fan of the “Copacabana” crooner. As a result, Marsden has had to field frequent questions on the subject, most recently when Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush asked him about Manilow at the Napa Valley Film Festival on Nov. 9.
A spokesperson for IMDb told THR that information submitted to the site “goes through a series of consistency checks before it goes live,” but that given “the sheer volume of the information, occasional mistakes are inevitable, and, when reported, they are promptly fixed.”
The Manilow reference does appear to have been removed from IMDb, but why do I feel like it’s only a matter of time before the bio bandit strikes again.

“When I open my mouth, what comes out is country. It was going to sound country no matter what, but I didn’t want it to be too different,” explains singer Blake Shelton of his fresh-scrubbed country version of Kenny Loggin’s “Footloose,” recorded for Craig Brewer’s upcoming remake. “It’s music that was rock back then but is country now,” he adds, though Deniece Williams, Sammy Hagar, and Shalamar might disagree. Whatever. Give Shelton’s version a listen and see if it’s worth kicking off your Sunday shoes for. [The Boot via Vulture]
Full Story »No matter what you thought of the Oscars, Anne Hathaway remains a class act who seems chronically unable to take herself seriously. That’s the royal likability you pick up in Genovia. On Conan last night, the newly ordained Catwoman rapped (in the style of Lil Wayne) about her brushes with the paparazzi. And now? She’s already become the most impressive Catwoman ever — besides Sean Young.
What’s next for the Dark Knight Rises cast? A Joseph Gordon-Levitt tribute to Madonna? Oh, of course not. That already happened.

Julia Stiles has some shit to say about the rumor that her legs were the scissors that cut through Dexter’s marriage to his sister. The rumor was that Julia and Michael C. Hall were doing it on the set of Dexter while his marriage to Jennifer Carpenter was breaking into a million pieces. But Julia tells E!’s Marc Malkin that she will not accept Sienna Miller’s invitation to join The Platinum Homewreckers Club. Julia’s loss!
“I have absolutely nothing to do with the split between Michael and Jennifer. We are good friends and enjoyed working together. This is a personal matter between them, and we should respect their privacy. Although I too prefer to keep my private life, private—I felt compelled to dispel the rumors I was somehow the cause for this matter.”
“Enjoyed working together”? CAUGHT! Nobody actually enjoys working with others unless that other is sending a fuckyes wave from your coochie all the way up to the muscle that makes a smile. Yeah, they’re TOTALLY doing it (or not)!
But Vicki and Donn just renewed their vows in a romantic beach ceremony last year!! But Donn promised to always keep Vicki’s tank full of unleaded love!!! Oh well, I guess Donn must have put a CLOSED sign on his pump, because Vicki of The Real Housewives of Orange County has filed for divorce. Because this GIF never gets old for me, here is a dramatization of Vicki and Donn’s marriage:
Aw. TMZ says that Droopy Dog’s long-lost sister filed papers to legally quit Donn’s ass on Monday. They have been married for 16 years.
Anybody who watches this mess knows it was only a matter of time before this happened. Or it was only a matter of time before Donn was seen running naked along the 5 freeway while sticking hot chopsticks into his ears and begging to be put out of his misery. Basically, the show makes it look like living with a Gremlin is more pleasant than living with Vicki. Besides, Vicki doesn’t have time for marriage. SHE’S TOO BUSY WORKING WORKING WORKING!
And does this mean that next season we will get an eye full of Tamra’s rapey-eyed son groping on Vicki in the bathroom? Brace your stomachs just in case.
Zhu Jianqiang (which translates into Strong-Willed Pig), a 10-month-old pig from China who has charmed the hell out of the world with her two-legged walking skills! File this directly under: Babe ain’t shit! That’ll do, Babe, that’ll do. No, seriously, that’ll do, because ZJ has your ass beat!
When ZJ came sliding out of her mother back in January, there was obviously something very different about her compared to her other 9 siblings. ZJ’s owner, Farmer Wang, immediately knew he wanted to keep her even though his evil hateful wife demanded that she be thrown into a pot or shuffled off to the glue factory. The local circus also offered to buy up ZJ, but Farmer Wang told all of them to suck on a crusty taint. Instead, he spent weeks training ZJ how to walk. Farmer Wang explained, “I trained her a while each day. After 30 days she could agilely walk upside down. She proved to us that no matter what form life is it should continue to live on. I won’t sell her no matter how much the offer is.”
This does sort of fill my heart with warm Bac-Os, but one thing is missing: A MOTORIZED RICKSHAW! Seriously, get that bitch some wheels! But then again, if they did that she wouldn’t be able to do this anymore:
The Mary Lou Retton of pigs! Gold medals all around!
