Rogen was on Jimmy Kimmel last night to promote his new movie, Funny People. Amongst other things, he talked about how the first time he was on the show, Megan Fox gave him the cold shoulder. (Skip ahead to 2:20 for the condensed version. )

I’m going to add “horrible taste in men” right next to “horrible taste in tattoos” on the Megan Fox shit list.

Howard Gets a New Haircut and a Deeper Dye

Here’s someone whose IMDB popularity ranking went up 1,045% last week: Bryce Dallas Howard. Summit entertainment announced that Howard would be replacing Rachelle LeFevre in the role of Victoria in the Twilight movies, starting with Eclipse.

I really liked her in The Village, but this new hairdo engenders an unreasonable amount of hatred in me. Don’t get me wrong– the deeper color and fierce bangs look great on her.  I suppose that’s good for her new part (hairdo pun intended),  it’s just that she now looks waaaay too much like a woman I know who has never been anything but sneaky, manipulative girl trouble. In short, she looks like a total bitch.

My emotional baggage could be coloring (hairdo pun intended) my judgment, but what do you think?

Tome Felton in Tokyo

Actor Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) promotes Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince at Marunouchi Picadilly, a movie theater in Tokyo, Japan.

This press conference combines two of my favorite things: Harry Potter and Japan. It should be full of so much awesome that my head explodes .

Instead, it is  incredibly awkward and weird.

Katherine Heigl is a Hypocrite

I never watched Grey’s Anatomy, so I feel I’m sort of on the outside looking in with the whole Heigl hate train. Don’t get me wrong– I get it. But I just don’t feel the fires of Heigl rage as fervently as some of you. *cough*Wendie*cough*

However, I might be ready to climb aboard if she keeps giving everyone such easy reasons to dislike her (as if her new movie weren’t enough).

Last week, while making the talk show  rounds to promote her odiously misogynistic new film The Ugly Truth, Heigl complained about the length of her first day back on the Grey’s set, saying that the day had lasted 17 hours and that she hoped the studio was embarrassed  for putting the cast & crew through something so “cruel and mean.”

But it turns out that the person responsible for that grueling 17 hour day was…. Katherine Heigl!

A source on the Grey’s set spilled the beans to TV writer Kevin Levine:

Poor
Katherine
Heigl. What she neglected to add was this: This ‘cruel’ shooting schedule was only to accommodate HER and her needs.
The producers graciously shuffled things around so she could go off and do promotion for her new film. Also, with union rules,
the producers
had to pay a ton of overtime and penalties to make this happen. The thanks they get is
Katherine
Heigl going on national television hoping to embarrass them.”

If you’d like to hop on the Heigl hate wagon, now might be an opportune time.

Futurama 2008 Comic-Con Panel

And now, some news that does not suck.

The entire voice cast of Futurama has just signed a new contract with Fox!

After weeks of stalled negotiations, Fox had announced that they would be replacing all the voice actors with a new cast. Much weeping, rending of garments, and gnashing of teeth ensued.

But the studio and the actors managed to reach a compromise agreement on Friday that would see the studio paying a bit more and the actors accepting a bit less.

Creators Groening and David X. Cohen  released a joint statment saying, “We are thrilled to have our incredible cast back. The call has already gone out to the animators to put the mouths back on the characters.”

I hereby release Fox from all contractual obligations to bite my shiny metal ass.
