For absolutely no reason other than to prove that nightmares exist when you’re awake (and to scare hos into another dimension at the Conjoined 2 art show in L.A.), special effects make-up artist Kevin Kirkpatrick brought Beavis & Butt-head out of the cartoon world and into real life. This terrifying shit looks like what comes in the mail when you order a real doll from hell. Nope, you didn’t need to sleep tonight. Yes, that moist feeling down below is from you shitting out of your piss hole and pissing out of your shit hole.
Beavis looks like what would you get if a methed-out Glenn Close slowly morphed into Conan O’Brien in some kind of Gummo universe and Butt-head looks like an inbred hillbilly bacchanalian who is about 3 minutes away from picking off whatever is left of your flesh from his braces. If you’re about to fap to this, then your name must be Russell Brand.
Kevin says he made these two devil dolls from acrylic and silicone, but I have a feeling he used sores from actual meth heads, human skin, eyeballs from deers and discarded foreskin. If Kevin ever needs another set of eyeballs for one of his works of terror, he can use mine since I don’t think I need them anymore.
Further proof that Hollywood is no longer beholden to movie stars for guaranteed gargantuan grosses at the box office? For three Transformers: Dark of the Moon co-stars, the Michael Bay-directed film will be their second this summer to crack the $200 million plateau in worldwide earnings. Can you guess which three? Hint: not Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley or Optimus Prime.
Drumroll, please! As Gitesh Pandya from Box Office Guru pointed out earlier on Wednesday, Transformers co-stars Tyrese Gibson (Fast Five), John Turturro (Cars 2; which is on track to speed pass $200 million in the coming weeks), and Ken Jeong (The Hangover Part II) will all get to pop champagne on a second double-century hit.
That might not sound too crazy, but consider this: Ryan Reynolds, an actual (almost) A-lister, has two films coming out within a few months of each other (Green Lantern, The Change-Up), and he’ll be lucky if they make $300 million combined. To paraphrase The Player: Stars, now less than ever.

Imagine: A quarter-century ago, young actors like C. Thomas Howell, Jami Gertz and Kirk Cameron were among the most vital powers in Hollywood. And one man, agent Warren Klein, was their link to the studios and producers that would make or break their careers, much as they had for generations. Now imagine getting a hold of Klein’s voicemails.
Funny or Die did exactly that, dreaming up how the hyper-connected (and yes, fabricated) Klein might pitch things like Soul Man, Oxford Blues and Listen to Me (“It’s like The Karate Kid, but instead of Pat Morita playing Mr. Miata [sic], it’s got Roy Scheider”). Bonus for the photo selection that went into this; seeing the onetime heartthrob Cameron in those clown pants and suspenders just never gets old.
Full Story »If The Hangover Part II didn’t quench your thirst for off-color jokes with its crack about trafficking children, surely Porn Rental — a new short with Peep World co-stars Ben Schwartz and Michael C. Hall — will make up the difference. In the three-minute comedy, Schwartz plays a video store patron who wants child pornography and Hall plays a bewildered clerk. Nutty? Yes. Funny? You be the judge.
Whether or not you think it’s funny, both actors are good here. And the mention of Harold Ramis sent me into a tiny chucklefit. What do you think?

The long-running soap opera All My Children will come to an end this September after more than four decades on the air, during which time it played host to many a hungry young actor-turned-successful movie star. Might Joss Whedon’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer have found its iconic heroine if she hadn’t started out as the girl you loved to hate on AMC? Would this summer’s Fast Five or Transformers: Dark of the Moon be the same without the key players who got their start in Pine Valley? And would a certain recent Oscar winner have learned how to be a fighter, so to speak, if not for her legendary on-screen All My Children catfight 25 years ago?
Click to here to launch the slideshow! (And stay tuned for Part 2: stars who got their start on the also-canceled One Life to Live.)
