Graffiti6 is starting to make their North American invasion, and they are hitting up the Tonight Show. Does this sound familiar? Well the Beatles made the exact same journey over 40 years ago. Naturally, @jordans_life had to make some comparisons.
Nick plays World of Warcraft. Not only that, he’s the head of his guild, demonstrating that it IS possible to juggle being a hardcore gamer with being a top-selling recording artist.
During a LIVE interview on andPOP.com Nick Carter gave out a number and took phone calls from his fans. These were real phone calls from real fans who we gave exclusive access to one of the biggest recording artists of our generation.
There were great questions about music, fitness, the backstreet boys but the most popular question, however, was about his underwear. In this clip Nick talks about his his ‘Haynes’ and covering his fans with glow in the dark paint.
When releasing new music today, half the battle is online promotion. However, contests, signed merch and giveaways aren’t always the best solutions. When working on their latest album, Hedley came up with a brilliant idea, they decided to make trailers.
It’s hard to prepare for an interview with Hedley. So in this interview, we threw caution to the wind, got a 24 of beer and broadcast the interview live on our USTREAM (andPOP.tv). Eventually Jacob, Dave and @jordans_life ended up talking about hairy legs, their newest music video and more.

Marina and The Diamonds are working on some new music, but Marina is being very secretive about it. Although the release has been delayed, she let’s us in on some secrets about the new album, and how alcohol changed her life.
Earlier this week we showed you what the Oscar nominated films would look like if they had more honest posters. Today we’re showing you what the films would look like if they were played by canines.
Thanks to NextMovie.com for the adorable movie posters. There’s a few more you can check out at the source.
Movie trailers and posters are generally made so audiences can judge whether they want to see more or not. Movie posters have to be appealing and intriguing without giving too much away. At times, they can be rather misleading. Wouldn’t it be great if instead of wasting two hours on a shitty Cronenberg movie, you could just take five seconds to look at the movie poster for a quick summary?
Here’s a look at this year’s Oscar nominated films and their honest movie posters.
Following yesterday’s announcement of the 2012 Oscar nominees, those with Twitter accounts weren’t shy to express their feelings publicly. Some stars like Jonah Hill were proud, some stars like Mary J. Blige were bitchy.
Here’s a look at some of Hollywood’s reactions, as posted on Buzzfeed.
The Oscar nominations were announced this morning in L.A. and while there are some expected nods (like Michelle Williams and Meryl Streep) there are a few awful surprises. For instance, why is everyone in “The Help” nominated? Why is “Tree of Life” nominated for Best Picture when it should have been a film gone straight to DVD? It also sucks that Ryan Gosling was robbed, so I’m going to have to write a letter to the Academy.
The only good surprise stemming from this roster of nominations is Melissa McCarthy for her supporting role in “Bridesmaids”. My money’s on Melissa, although realistically, she’ll probably lose to one of the 573097654 actresses in “The Help”.
Here’s a look at some of the nominations. * indications my pick. You can read the full list here.

The biggest night in L.A is just a few months away. The red carpet will roll out, and golden statues will tower over the flashing cameras as the Oscars unfold.
Elaborately stunning gowns, tasteful and otherwise, shall parade across our televisions and live streams. But who is the host? Earlier this week, film director Brett Ratner resigned as the producer. He called it quits after making some anti-gay remarks in the media. A day later, Eddie Murphy closed up shop as well. But all is not lost! A replacement has been found for the producer in Brian Grazer, who has produced the shows “24” and “Arrested Development”.
As far as hosting goes, a frog and a few of his pals are gaining momentum.
The Twitterverse is a buzz with hashtagging of the Henson muppet creations. Even Perez Hilton is showing some muppet love when he tweeted: “@RealBrianGrazer #Muppet Oscars.”
There’s even a MuppetOscars2012 Twitter account set up, with over 10,000 followers. The Facebook support for The Muppets Should Host the 2012 Oscars has rallied over 25,000 ‘likes’. It’s no surprise this has come up. A ten year hiatus from the small screen has left fans hungering for more than just their upcoming film, The Muppets, out on November 23rd.
They’ve got some serious competition to deal with, from past Oscar hots like Billy Crystal or Steve Carell, who have really upped the ante. Who knows, maybe the rainbow connection will arrive on the most glamorous of nights.
Eddie Murphy has officially stepped down as host of the 84th Academy Awards telecast, less than 24 hours after the show’s producer Brett Ratner stepped aside after a storm of criticism over his use of an anti-gay slur over the weekend.
In all fairness, Ratner and Murphy’s attachment to the broadcast lasted longer than the Kardashian marriage, by twenty-four days.
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President Tom Sherak said Wednesday in a statement, “I appreciate how Eddie feels about losing his creative partner, Brett Ratner, and we all wish him well.”
Ratner was named the Oscar co-producer in early August, resigned on Tuesday morning because of his anti-gay slurs on Howard Stern’s radio program on Sirius XM Radio show.
According to the New York Times, The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation strongly objected to the derisive remark about gays, and a flood of objections by academy members and media commentators quickly made clear that the Academy’s Feb. 26 Oscar show on ABC, if Mr. Ratner remained in charge, was going to be as much about Mr. Ratner as the movies.
Murphy followed his friend and director of his latest film “Tower Heist” and flew the coop, he commented, “First and foremost I want to say that I completely understand and support each party’s decision with regard to a change of producers for this year’s Academy Awards ceremony. I was truly looking forward to being a part of the show that our production team and writers were just starting to develop, but I’m sure that the new production team and host will do an equally great job.
More to come….
Anyone who disses Anne Hathaway on national TV may end up being shot back at in a series of emails.
Well in the case of James Franco, that’s what happened to him when he poked fun at her during an appearance on “The Late Show With David Letterman.”
“I love her, but Anne Hathaway is so energetic, I think the Tasmanian Devil would look stoned standing next to Anne Hathaway,” Franco said back in March.
Hathaway, who hosted this year’s Academy Awards with Franco to less than rave reviews, fired back, correcting Franco on his word choice.
“I let James know that a whirling dervish is a more flattering comparison than a Tasmanian devil. I called him, and we e-mailed a bit,” she reveals to Harper’s Bazaar.
…Ouch…
But perhaps there aren’t any hard feelings, as Hathaway felt hosting the awards show was more of a positive experience in just getting to be there.
“In the grand scheme of things, I got to have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” she tells Harper’s. “I met great people, wore beautiful clothes. And I got to put on a show. I don’t see a downside. Anyone who disliked my personality probably disliked my personality before the Oscars.”
Good on Anne for not firing back angrily to her haters. After all, she was the center of attention that night, not to mention all the lovely outfits she got to wear! Stay classy! It really is better to focus on the positive and move on in life.
But in other Anne Hathaway news, she is gearing up to play Catwoman in Christopher Nolan’s Batman finale, “The Dark Knight Rises” as well as the summer romance, “One Day”, alongside Jim Sturgess.
The Academy Awards will now allow between five and 10 best picture nominees, reports CTV.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced yesterday that the number of nominees will be dictated by voting. In order to be nominated, a film will need a minimum of 5 per cent first-place votes.
In 2009, the Oscars expanded the best picture nominees from 5 to 10, but now, the number of nominees has been changed again after analyzing the voting from the last two years.
Retiring Academy executive director Bruce Davis recommended the change, saying:
“In studying the data, what stood out was that Academy members had regularly shown a strong admiration for more than five movies,” said Davis. “A best picture nomination should be an indication of extraordinary merit. If there are only eight pictures that truly earn that honor in a given year, we shouldn’t feel an obligation to round out the number.”
The unknown number of nominees will add a new sense of mystery to the awards too, as filmmakers don’t know how many spots they are vying for. The nominations for the 84th annual Academy Awards will be announced January 24.
I personally think 10 was too much, so I like this idea. Nominate as many movies that deserve it, not just because they need 10 spots. Hopefully this means the award show will be shorter, too, as less people are nominated.
James Franco certainly is a man of many talents.
This time around, Franco is making his debut as a dance theater director for the upcoming multimedia show ‘Collage,’ reports CNN. First he’s an actor, then Ivy League student, then Oscars host, and now theater director? Impressive!
“‘Collage’ is a mixed-media piece that uses sound and visuals to play with the idea of how different art mediums interact,” producer John Morrow says of the show, which will run at the Stella Adler studios in NYC from May 8 -15. “Using video, dance, poetry, theater and music, we have created a performance that will be an engaging experience for the audience.”
“The piece is so exhilarating because there are no boundaries to what we can create and play with,” says actress Nina Ljeti.
Adds choreographer Chloe Kernaghan, “The overall piece has been a continuous exploration of how using disparate elements can create a cohesive idea.”
Franco will appear live at each performance to narrate the production. This also isn’t the first time Franco has produced a musical number. He recently put on ‘James Franco Presents’ at Yale University, so he has the experience.
Bravo to him. If you have the power to explore different realms, then by all means do it. He’s talented at pretty much everything he does, so I’m sure the play will be a success.
We’ve all heard what Twitter, Facebook and essentially every other news source has had to say about James Franco’s hosting duties at this year’s Oscar ceremonies.
Everyone thought he had pulled a Pineapple Express. Was he stoned?
This Friday on CBS’s Late Night with David Letterman, we’ll hear what Franco himself has to say.
Letterman, 63, received some heavy criticism after his 1995 Oscar appearance also.
“I was so bad that they talked for a while about shutting down the motion picture industry. … I was God awful,” recalls Letterman. However, 32-year-old Franco one-uped the late-night King by arguing that nobody accused him of being on drugs.
“They didn’t say you were stoned,” Franco says. “People said I was under the influence.” He compared his stoner-demeaner to his co-host Anne Hathaway’s over energetic display of musical-child-syndrome.
“I think the Tasmanian Devil would look stoned standing next to Anne. She has a lot of energy!,” says Franco. “I haven’t watched it back yet. Maybe I had low energy? I honestly played those lines as well as I could.”
Following this year’s Oscars, part of the criticism noted that Franco’s over-exhaustion in taking on more than is humanly capable is not an excuse to justify his lacklustre performance. Critics felt that he should have taken the gig more seriously than he did.
“I never dreamed of being, like, the best Oscar host ever,” he says on Friday night’s episode. “It was never on my list of things to do. It doesn’t mean I didn’t care and it doesn’t mean I didn’t try hard, right?”
Letterman reassures Franco through his classic wizardry of words, ”There will be, I think for you, a modicum of embarrassment, which you shouldn’t feel. That will pass. You’ll go into a period of numbness, and then you’ll become rightly defiant.”
Check out the full interview this Friday night on CBS’s Late Night with David Letterman.

James Franco; the sleepless actor, campy director, theatre producer, writer, student, painter and now professor?
He gave NYU a shout-out at the Oscars, and according to an email sent to Washington Square News, next year he will be teaching a section of graduate film students.
Franco was asked why he hasn’t been very vocal about attending NYU, in response he wrote:
“I love NYU. My fellow NYU film students are some of my closest friends. I mentioned NYU at the Oscars and on David Letterman; I don’t know how to be more vocal about it. I will be teaching NYU graduate students next year.”
According to John Tintori, the chair of the graduate division of the Kanbar Institute of Film and TV, Franco will be teaching a section of third year directing in the fall. He also said that Franco has met with poet Louise Gluck and has her blessing for an adaptation of her work.
“James’ own film work has been based on poems, or about poets, so this is a nice fit for him,” Tintori wrote in an email. “James has an amazing mind. And limitless energy. Our students will be fortunate to learn from him.”
For those not set to attend class with Prof. Franco, “Your Highness” will be in theatres this April.
Despite her not-so-noteworthy performance at the Academy Awards, E! Online reports that many record labels have been trying to court this blonde into signing a record deal of her own, following in hubby Chris Martin’s musical footsteps. I don’t know about you guys, but I’d love for her to put out an album!
The most recent rumour of them all is that Gwyneth Paltrow has signed a $900,000 record deal with Atlantic Records to create an album that the New York Post classified as “country pop”. I hate to burst your bubbles – well, I mostly hate to burst mine – but E! Online has said that this statement is false, and that Paltrow has not yet closed any deals with a record company.
Thanks a lot, New York Post, for getting my hopes up!
But apparently there is still hope – E! Online goes on to say that it is not a matter of “if” Paltrow will actually sign with a record company, but “when.”
Paltrow has previously showed off her singing chops in the the fail-of-a-movie, “Country Strong,” and has appeared on two episodes of “Glee,” in outstanding performances as substitute teacher Holly Holliday, along with live performances at the Grammy Awards, where she joining Cee Lo Green on-stage for a slightly Sesame Street-rendition of “Forget You”, and the Oscars, where she performed the nominated song “Coming Home” from “Country Strong.” (To set the record straight, the soundtracks weren’t a fail, just the movie.)
So get to work on that recording contract Gwyneth, because there are a lot of eager Team Paltrows waiting for it! And if your “Glee” co-star Matthew Morrison can do it, so can you!
To the dismay of thousands of teenage girls around the world, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have brought their relationship out of the closet at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Right, because no one knew they were dating before this.
The two arrived at the Sunset Tower together with their arms around each other, Gomez admittedly a vision in red Dolce & Gabbana piece. Justin even matched his outfit with his girlfriend, adding a little flare of red in the form of a handkerchief in the pocket of his D&G black suit. If that doesn’t say couple, I don’t know what will!
“They were feeding each other with their forks and they definitely kissed. It was obvious they are totally enamored with one another and that the feelings are mutual either way,” a source told Perez Hilton.
If that isn’t enough, the two were seen together yesterday for the Biebs’ birthday. According to E! Online, the duo hit up Beverly Hills boutiques, visiting Louis Vuitton and Dolce & Gabbana – apparently the two can’t get enough Dolce! And it seems like it’s true love for this couple; they stopped a number of times to give each other a hug, and as usual, the paparazzi were not too far behind and documented every one. Oh pap, we know we can always count on you to get our daily dose of the Biebs!
But as usual, Gomez wasn’t the only girl on Bieber’s mind! Relax, it’s not Kim Kardashian or Beyonce this time – the other woman in his life is none other than his grandmother! On his birthday, the “Baby” singer tweeted, “great bday. flew in grandma and got my cake. hung out with friends. got surprised. and you all helped #makeachange with @charitywater.”
Way to make girls swoon over you even more by getting them to make mommy and daddy donate money to charity, Justin!
Although the singer just turned 17, I’m sure lots of girls are waiting for the magic 18…I know Kim is!
Following the 83rd Academy Awards on Sunday, the world has been a blaze about whether or not James Franco was, well, blazed. God forbid people would talk about the actual awards!
The New York Times said Franco came off “a little distracted and even blasé”. The Washington Post declared that Franco seemed “sort of heavy-lidded and smirky.” And USA Today simply said Franco appeared to be “preparing for a remake of ‘Dazed and Confused.’ Needless to say, the 127 Hours star appeared disconnected and bored by the festivities, and there was much speculation that he was stoned.
“James does not drink or do drugs ever,” his rep told E! Online, and several sources confirm that Franco is not a partier.
Did he pull a Pineapple Express and smoke up? Or is there a tiny possibility that the busy guy was just tired?
Let’s look at the facts for a second… he had spent several weeks flying back and forth from the East Coast to L.A. to rehearse for the Oscars on weekends and was still attending award shows for 127 Hours, and winning. Although the actor, director, writer, painter and full-time student may appear to be a machine, he is still human.
It’s not the first time Franco’s stoner demeanor has come into play, it almost cost him the role in 127 Hours.
Director Danny Boyle told E! Online in October that when they met “he was so relaxed—he looked stoned to me. People say that about him. But he’s not. In fact, he’s abstemious.”
Melissa Leo in The Fighter
James Franco and Anne Hathaway hosted the 83rd Academy Awards on Sunday, February 27th and the evening dragged on in it’s traditional lengthy fashion as it honoured the best of film in 2011.
The evening was full of predictable results, with some surprises thrown into the mix. Those included Kirk Douglas’ flirtatious shenanigans, Melissa Leo’s heartfelt f-bomb, James Franco in drag, Bob Hope’s brief resurrection, and the ‘In Memory’ tribute that somehow forgot to acknowledge Charlie Sheen’s career.
Franco and Hathaway lured in a younger demographic with their good looks and auto-tuned shorts of Harry Potter and Toy Story, but the awards still targeted the traditional Academy audience. Keep in mind that the average age of those voting in the Academy is 56.
As for the awards, the Best Picture went to The King’s Speech, Best Actor went to Colin Firth for his performance in The King’s Speech and Best Actress went to Natalie Portman in Black Swan. Other contenders that cleaned up were Inception with 4 awards and The Social Network took home 3,
Here is the complete list of winners and nominees:
127 HOURS (Fox Searchlight Pictures)
BLACK SWAN (Fox Searchlight Pictures)
INCEPTION (Warner Bros Pictures)
THE FIGHTER (Relativity Media/Paramount Pictures)
THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT (Focus Features)
THE KING’S SPEECH (The Weinstein Co)
THE SOCIAL NETWORK (Sony Pictures)
TOY STORY 3
(Pixar/Walt Disney Studios)
TRUE GRIT (Paramount Pictures)
WINTER’S BONE (Roadside Attractions)
JEFF BRIDGES – TRUE GRIT
JAVIER BARDEM – BIUTIFUL
JESSE EISENBERG – THE SOCIAL NETWORK
COLIN FIRTH – THE KING’S SPEECH
JAMES FRANCO – 127 HOURS
On the brink of the Oscars coming, full attention is being put on various award shows to see what kind of foreshadowing will occur. Somehow, though, I don’t think the Razzies will have a great effect on who will win or lose at the Oscars.
The 2011 Golden Raspberry Awards were handed out last night, and here’s a list of the “winners”.
Worst Picture
“The Last Airbender”
Worst Actor
Ashton Kutcher, “Killers” and “Valentine’s Day”
Worst Actress
Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon “Sex and the City 2?
Worst Supporting Actress
Jessica Alba, “The Killer Inside Me,” “Little Fockers,” “Machete” and “Valentine’s Day”
Worst Supporting Actor
Jackson Rathbone, “The Last Airbender,” “Eclipse”
Worst Eye-Gouging Mis-Use of 3-D
“The Last Airbender”
Worst Screen Couple/Screen Ensemble
The entire cast of “Sex and the City 2?
Worst Director
M. Night Shyamalan, “The Last Airbender”
Worst Screenplay
“The Last Airbender,” written by M. Night Shyamalan
Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel
“Sex and the City 2?
I haven’t seen many of the movies on this list, but by the looks of the commercial, “The Last Airbender” probably should win this title. I’m not a fan of M. Night Shyamalan, so I’m glad he won Worst Director as well. Very glad. I mean, have you seen The Happening? So, so, bad.
I’m not surprised the entire cast of Sex and the City 2 won Worst Actress and Sequel. I knew that movie would get ripped to shreds the moment it came out – nobody likes a sequel. But in all honestly, the movie isn’t that bad. Sure, all they do is shop, complain, and have sex, but that’s far better than something like “Mean Girls 2″ or “Leprechaun 2″…. seriously.
I think the Razzies are fun and take the seriousness out of award seasons… I mean really, are movies that important? People treat it like it’s a life or death situation during the oscars. It’s a golden little statue, people!
With every ending, there is a new beginning.
This morning, PEOPLE hit the shelves with a shot of a glowing Sandra Bullock smiling into the eyes of her newborn adopted son, Louis.
“He’s just perfect, I can’t even describe him any other way,” the recent Oscar-winner told PEOPLE.
Oh yeah, she’s kicking her cheating soon-to-be-ex-husband Jesse James to the curb, too.
Bullock, 45, and James, 41, adopted their 3-month old son back in January, but decided to keep him secret until the Oscar buzz got a little quieter. However, now that the couple is officially filing for divorce after James was caught cheating, Sandra has chosen to sign the adoption papers alone.
Bullock revealed to the celebrity magazine that she plans on maintaining her close relationship with James’ children and hopes that James will be able to act as a fatherly figure in Louis’ life.
“I don’t want to know what life is like without those kids. Whatever we need to do, in the healthiest way, we are going to be co-parenting.”
In the wake of the Oscars, certain Hollywood bigwigs were already writing eulogies for Gabourey Sidibe’s acting career.
“There’s the most enormous, fat black chick I’ve ever seen. She is enormous. Everyone’s pretending she’s a part of show business and she’s never going to be in another movie,” blasted Howard Stern on a Monday morning radio show.
It looks like Stern may have to eat his words.
According to MSN Online, “Precious” lead Gabourey Sidibe has landed a job as the star of Showtime’s new comedy “The Big C.”
At the Oscars last Sunday, The Cove went home with the Academy Award for Best Documentary. When the film’s cast went onstage to accept the golden statue, ex-dolphin trainer Roc O’Barry stood behind the pack holding a sign that read “TEXT DOLPHIN to 44144.”
Even though it received lukewarm reviews, the Academy Awards drew in a large enough audience to send a tidal wave of texts to the advertised number, almost shutting down the group’s mobile service provider.
But where were the texts actually going?
“Well, the time has come!” announced actress Barbra Streisand as she pulled the winner’s name out of the small white envelope.
Last night at the Oscars, history was made as Kathryn Bigelow became the first female director to win an Academy Award for directing The Hurt Locker.
Bigelow beat out Canadian ex-husband James Cameron, director of Avatar, to win both Best Director and Best Picture. In addition, her nomination last night was the very first time she was recognized by the academy.
