William H. Macy Majorly Disses One Direction

William H. Macy stopped by "Live With Kelly and Michael" today (Jan. 16) to talk about, among other things, his incredible disdain for One Direction.

The actor explained to Kelly and Michael that his young daughter is obsessed with the band, so much so that she has a life-size cutout of Harry Styles in her bedroom. Despite the fact that he is constantly horrified by the figure, Macy escorted his daughters to the boy band's concert -- as many parents have felt pressured to do.

While he made a point of acknowledging the singers' talent, Macy slammed the band, saying, "They couldn't put on a good show with a gun to their head."

Apparently, Macy had three major issues with the One Direction performance. First off, they danced as if they were just marching back and forth (as he willingly, and hilariously, demonstrated). Second, Harry Styles ate a sandwich on stage in the middle of the show. And third, the whole band performed in crappy jeans and tees.

Do we hear an "amen" from every parent who has ever been guilted into taking their child to a tween concert? Or is that just outrage from the millions of loyal fans -- of all ages, might we add -- that support One Direction with obsessive enthusiasm?

Either way, this video will probably make you cry with laughter ... or anger.

7 Life Lessons We Learned From 'Gilligans Island'

"Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip..."

The death of Russell Johnson on Thursday, who played the Professor on "Gilligan's Island," got us thinking about the beloved sitcom so many of us grew up with. Gilligan star Bob Denver died in 2005. Alan Hale Jr., who played the Skipper, died in 1990. And Jim Backus, who played Thurston Howell, died in 1989. The only two remaining cast members who are still alive are Dawn Wells and Tina Louse, who played Mary Ann and Ginger, respectively.

The show centered on those aboard the S.S. Minnow, which set sail in September 1964 and wound up shipwrecked -- for three years in primetime. Although it was one of the worst-reviewed shows ever broadcast, it was a huge fan favorite and remained so for decades. Millions of viewers tuned in each week to see if the seven castaways would ever get off that darn island.

And there was actually a lot to be learned from the hapless Gilligan, the filthy rich Thurston and Lovey Howell, the smart Professor, the sweet Mary Ann, the sexy Ginger and the Skipper, the fearless leader.

Below are seven life lessons we learned from the show. Can you think of anything else? Let us know in comments.

1) No matter how much money you have, everyone's an equal when there's trouble. In one episode, someone uncovers a treasure chest. Everyone thinks they have a stake in it. Finally, the very brainy Professor presides over a court hearing to figure it all out. Although the rich Mr. Howell thinks it's rightfully his, the Professor argues -- and everyone eventually agrees -- that on the island, everyone shares everything.

2) The ordinary can indeed triumph over the supposed extraordinary. Gilligan was a hapless, bumbling fool most of the time. Others on the island were smarter, were richer, and were more trained to be leaders. But, of course, the one time the castaways hold an election they choose Gilligan. The show proved that democracy works and that the common man always has a chance if he tries hard enough.

3) Sometimes just having your heart in the right place is the most important thing of all. I can no longer recall all the times Gilligan's mistakes messed up the group's chances of getting rescued. And even though the Skipper would smack him on the head a few times, everyone always forgave Gilligan because he was a good person and his heart was always in the right place. Of course, if I had been stuck on that island, I might have felt differently -- a lot differently.

4) A swat on the head can actually be a sign of affection. I'm guessing the Skipper probably hit his little buddy on the head at least once or twice each episode. But the Skipper was always there for Gilligan when he really needed him. They had a bond -- and it showed.

5) You can turn a coconut into a radio, but you can’t fix a hole in a boat. On the show, one of the funniest bits was how the Professor could pretty much create everything, from radios to plumbing from coconuts and other crude items on the island. But he could never fix the boat! I think the lesson here is that when you are in a stressful situation, throwing yourself into a crazy project may very well be the perfect coping mechanism. (Inspired by a blog post on CableTV.com.)

6) Nice girls don't always finish last. Viewers always lusted after Ginger, donned in her floor-length gowns. But Mary Ann, the girl next door, was the one the Professor and Gilligan really liked. She was kind and bright and reasonable -- and still pretty cute in her short shorts. (And apparently Mary Ann rated higher among male viewers than the curvy movie star Ginger.)

gilligans island

7) When times are tough, the only thing that matters is those around you. On the island, the seven castaways -- so different from one another -- had to rely only on each other. And they did. They got through the years on the island by sharing laughs and love with those stuck with them.

We can breathe easy again, everyone. "Fifty Shades Of Grey" movie has not, as was previously rumoured, abandoned Vancouver.

And while we've found ways to keep ourselves busy in the meantime, we're excited to see the cast and crew back in B.C.

On Thursday the film took over a section of Powell Street in Gastown, and The Huffington Post B.C. was there to catch some of the action.

Star Dakota Johnson (cast as lead character Ana Steele) was filming a scene and we think we may have even spotted a sharp-looking Max Martini strolling about.

Story continues below slideshow:


If that wasn't enough, film industry blog YVRShoots also managed to catch a few glimpses of seductive protagonist Christian Grey's sexy Audi as it was driven around Vancouver's Stanley Park.

Sadly no clear photos of Grey actor (and all-around hunk) Jamie Dornan were snapped, although he's in this car with Johnson, apparently:




Johnson and Dornan's costar Rita Ora also reportedly flew into town on Wednesday, much to the excitement of her Twitter fans.




And of course, despite the fact that it was sunny and beautiful in Vancouver on Thursday, sometimes you really just need it to rain.

Oh, You're Tired Of People Being 'Outraged'?

January 17, 2014, 11:24 am

More voices are coming at us from all directions, and, thanks to emerging media outlets and the social media platforms which amplify them, they're louder than ever. With these new voices come new learnings, passions and, yes, gripes. For the most part, this is great: An increased diversity of perspectives holds the potential for not only more truths, but a better understandings of the would-be truths that the rest of the media has to date held as gospel.

But for others, all this noise is just tiring. People are "tired of outrage."






















Let's unpack this. We'll use some commonly heard refrains as a guide.

"Pretty soon everyone will be upset about everything."

outrage



The thing is, people have actually always been upset about the issues that are enraging them now. The only difference is that the person making the above statement is now interacting with perspectives outside their immediate community and is being exposed to what are almost always longstanding grievances of minority communities.

Quite a bit of internet ink was spilled as to whether or not 2013 was "the year of black movies." Some more ink will likely be spilled about how the Academy did a pretty horrible job of including movies with black leads in the nominee pool ("The Butler," "Mandela" and "Fruitvale Station" are not invited to the party). But people aren't "suddenly" mad that people of color are underrepresented both on screen and at ensuing award shows.

Another surprise: If your internal "outrage meter" told you that 2013 was the year people started "complaining" about how tacky and offensive it is when celebrities like Katy Perry perform in yellowface (or Selena Gomez clumsily apes Bollywood style or Miley Cyrus goes off about "hood music"), you're also late to the party! Ask anyone who speaks a foreign language to tell you about a time a sitcom or movie character that was allegedly [insert nationality here] spoke gibberish instead of words in [insert corresponding language here], and they'll be able to rattle off plenty.

"It's just that every day, there's some new thing that everyone is mad about."

outrage



This one's especially fun, because it turns a blind eye to the fact that for decade upon decade, every single major newspaper and television station has broadcast the perspectives of the most privileged members of American society. Those expressing outrage fatigue scoff at the variety of topics which light up "black Twitter," but forget that newspaper editorial boards and opinion pages basically remain "white male Twitter" writ-large.

This continues to this day -- not only is the old-dude crowd still firmly in power over in America's newspapers, where the median age of an opinion columnist is 66 and men outnumber women 105 to 38, but we live in a world where a (white, male) Business Insider editor's annoyance with bathroom attendants in fancy restaurants is cause for their dismissal. It's safe to say that we have and will continue to have heard every idiosyncratic white male beef with everything that has happened and/or will happen. We are literally at the point where men are not only recounting how smoking weed made them feel lazy when they were young in the pages of the New York Times but making policy suggestions based on their adolescent experiences with puffing and passing.

The work will never be done. "I love America more than any other country in the world," James Baldwin wrote. "And, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually." (Side note: If James Baldwin was writing in a Facebook era, or if Baldwin's work was required reading in American schools, none of this would be news to any of us).

"But who cares, really? Why are people so upset all the time?!"

outrage



People care because the issues that may seem trivial from a more privileged perspective -- like whether Selena Gomez wears a bindi -- are often coded on the bodies, cultural histories and shared experiences of other communities. In populations for which identity politics is not just the stuff of undergraduate thesis statements, these are issues of life or death. For example, it's a sign of privilege to not be able to see the discord between a pop star cashing in on culturally specific clothing and a woman of color who faces discrimination and/or violence for authentically wearing that same style of clothing. Discords like that -- between appropriations of culture and the realities of life on the ground for said cultures -- matter.




Even if we set aside, for a moment, the implications of last year's George Zimmerman verdict, the murder of Renisha McBride, the countless Americans of Middle-Eastern descent harassed or worse at airports, stop-and-frisk, police brutality toward disenfranchised groups, unemployment insurance, the war on poverty, etc. and only focus on issues like cultural appropriation, there's no evidence that the inclusion of more diverse voices has cost more historically privileged voices anything. We must remember that, yes, truth matters and social media outrage always carries the risk of performativity, but these are problems that deserve critical engagement, not dismissiveness.

Catharsis also matters. It is cathartic for historically marginalized groups to publish, be read and shared, because there's something truly maddening about not having been able to publish in mainstream media outlets, to not see semi-accurate representations of yourself, your friends and family on television and in music videos and movies for so long. It's not just activism, rhetoric and speaking truth to power. The act of publishing is a celebration.

"Stop talking about privilege! Every life has its challenges."

angry asian woman



Of course, everyone faces their own set of challenges. But I'm not that interested in convincing someone who doesn't believe in privilege as a concept that operates on a sliding scale. That's too basic, but it's worth noting that privilege is highly correlated with one's tolerance level for "outrage." The amount of privilege that one is born with and accumulates over the course of one's life seems to be indirectly proportionately to one's patience for the voiced discomfort, outrage or pain of others. And that's why grown, educated white men feel comfortable writing the words "race card" in columns published in the Washington Post.

"All these articles about race are keeping this country divided, fueling race wars and, worst of all, keeping minorities busy being angry at rich white people instead of pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps."

outrage



This is the apex of outrage fatigue, wherein people convince themselves that it's articles about race which are creating societal ills like poverty, not policies, institutions and decades of media created from the perspective of a narrow slice of society in service of that same, privileged slice. But sure, it's this essay, in fact, which causes racism and sexism. Not racism or sexism itself.

****


It's worth noting, of course, that "outrage" itself is a weighted term, one that's in vogue like "backlash" was when people started having feelings about Lena Dunham and "Girls." But unlike "backlash," which at least allows a cause-and-effect, "outrage" reads more like "hysteria," a historically efficient way of dismissing valid concerns. The very phrase "I'm tired of people being outraged all the time" requires the assumption that the "outrage" is unwarranted, otherwise the speaker would be admitting a troubling lack of empathy.

What's really happening here is that outrage fatigue is like anti-intellectualism for conservatives and liberals (and especially neo-liberals) alike. There's a high societal tolerance for rolling one's eyes at a "thinkpiece" about race or gender. Never mind that for every article about race, there are scores of comments telling the author and outlet that topics such as race and gender don't matter, creating an exponentially higher number of folks spending time telling people that things don't matter than the number of people suggesting that they might actually matter.

But how about instead of voicing outrage fatigue, we tried listening? Perhaps it can be tiring to be confronted with a wider array of perspectives. But it should also be exciting! No one is forcing anyone to read a thinkpiece or feelpiece. We're operating in a social media age -- if an article has spread across the internet, that's because enough readers feel something about the content of the story to share it along. In other words, people care about it.

Or maybe you just really don't care. But if you just can't bring yourself to listen, then at least just look away. It doesn't cost you anything for someone else's voice to exist.

Cameron Diaz Body Book: Star Gives Genuinely Amazing Health Advice

Have you ever looked at Cameron Diaz and thought, "Man, I would love to look like her"? Well, here's the good news — with her new fitness and nutrition tome, The Body Book, she really, really wants you to. But the bad news? It'll take a lot of work.

Whether it's thanks to her "one of the guys" demeanour, her much-publicized love of surfing and snowboarding, or just because you loved her in "The Sweetest Thing," when Diaz talks about getting fit and healthy, you actually feel compelled to listen. And unlike some stars, there are no trends to follow, just a surprisingly massive amount of science to get through.

Now, this isn't necessarily advice you haven't heard before, but something about the way Diaz relays it — through a combination of information, personal anecdotes, and yes, the very real fact of knowing what she looks like — drives everything home in an interesting and palatable fashion.

Below, check out 15 tips we found genuinely useful from Diaz's "The Body Book" — though we're in no way harbouring illusions about looking like her after following them.



Eat Breakfast
You've heard it's the most important meal of the day a million times, but Diaz points to two very specific things she needs it for: being able to think straight in the morning, and brightening her skin enough to add makeup to (that last tip is from her makeup artist).

Put Ponzu In your Oatmeal
As an addendum to the last point, savoury lovers will adore this brilliant recipe Diaz gave for her favourite breakfast: oatmeal, sauteed zucchini with collard greens, caramelized shallots, egg whites and ponzu sauce. A little more interesting than berries, don't you think?

Fill A Giant Bottle Of Water Before Bed
Diaz emphasizes over and over throughout the book the importance of getting enough water, and gives her trick for ensuring she at least starts the day right. "Every night before I go to sleep, I fill up a big glass bottle with water and put it on my bathroom counter. First thing in the morning, right after I brush my teeth, I drink it." Benefits include everything from replenishing your organs to helping you poop.

Check Your Pee
Diaz doesn't mince words about bodily functions, or about her attention to them. Point in fact? Her emphasis on checking the colour of her pee to make sure it's pale yellow (good hydration) and not dark yellow (which indicates dehydration).

And While You're At It ...
Don't be afraid of looking at your poo, either. While Diaz doesn't go into as many specifics, as, say the Bristol Stool Chart, she does advise watching for significant changes in your bowel movements every time you flush.

Processed Foods Are Killing Healthy Bacteria
We already processed foods contained little in the way of nutrition, but we were shocked to read the additives contained in them to keep them on the shelves longer actually kill the healthy bacteria in our gut. So try to stop with the boxed goods, people.

Exercise By Helping Others
A small one, but a good one: get exercise at the office by volunteering to go pick up other people's lunches. Love this.

Move Before Responding
You've often heard you should count to 10 if your knee-jerk response is anger when in the midst of negotiations, but Diaz goes one better and advises people to get moving. If possible, stop the conversation that's prompting angst and go for a walk or jog for 10 minutes. You'll find you're better prepared and less stressed about whatever it is you need to decide upon.

You're Not Hungry, You're Stagnant
Instead of snacking when you're feeling hungry after sitting around a bunch, work out. That might sound like a recipe for a crazed fitness lady, but as Diaz points out, what you're usually feeling is your body's need to gain oxygen — and you can only get it by making it work.

"Pain Is Weakness Leaving Your Body"
As far as exercise mantras go, this one is pretty great. Diaz details the transformation she went through at age 26 on the set of "Charlie's Angels" and the martial arts master who taught her to appreciate her body and work it harder than she ever expected. But we mere mortals can apply it to the burn we feel in our abs, backs and quads after a new, tough workout.

You're Going To Regret Lasering Your Pubes
While Diaz does recommend a bit of maintenance, she points out that pubic hair has some biological imperative (even if we're not sure what it is). And from an aesthetic perspective, "like every other part of your body, your labia majora is not immune to gravity. Do you really want a hairless vagina for the rest of your life?"

Make Like A Baby At Bedtime
Parents are all too familiar with the concept of creating a bedtime ritual to get their little ones in the mindset for bed, but we tend to lose those routines as we get older. For Diaz, who says she sleeps in hotel rooms more than her own bedroom, in varying time zones, a bedtime ritual is the only thing that helps wind her down.

"Aging Healthfully Is Aging Happily"
Diaz very sweetly discusses her respect for her grandparents' strength and the obsession in our society with looking young, but nails it with one single sentence: "Our bodies age every single day that we are lucky enough to be alive." You might be able to change how your body ages, but there's no stopping it from happening, and no point in stressing about doing so.

Bad Habits Can Be Fixed With Slightly Better Habits
There's a lot in this book about forming healthy habits that stay with you for life, like building exercise into each day. But we like this specific take on breaking the bad habits, which is: figure out your personal routine as it applies to the habit, and find something at least a little more healthy to replace it with. In Diaz's case, it was a venti latte, which she replaced with a smaller decaf soy latte.

A 15-Minute Playlist Can Make Your Day
If you have difficulty finding time to move for the (minimally) recommend 15 minutes a day, create a 15-minute playlist you love and have yourself a little dance party. You know, kind of like this.

Rick Harrison Of 'Pawn Stars' Responds To Letter From Little Boy With Autism In Most Awesome Way

The cast of the "Pawn Stars" TV show spends its days assessing the value of items that come into the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas.

Well, we've assessed their latest move -- and we think it's priceless.

On Wednesday, Reddit user MrsLeslie posted a note that Rick Harrison, one of the show's stars, penned to a young fan with autism who wrote in.

According to MrsLeslie, the boy's mom said:

Little J is a huge fan of 'Pawn Stars,' and he talks about the show incessantly. I encouraged him to write them a letter, which he did, and he offered to sell his Gameboy to them for $30. I added a cover letter describing J and his autism -- and although I told them that I didn't expect them to actually buy his Gameboy, I did ask if they could at least reply.


Not only did Harrison reply, he also sent $30 and the Game Boy back to 'J.'



A spokesperson confirmed to HuffPost on Friday that Harrison was indeed the author of the note.

Now, we're sure 'J' wouldn't trade it for anything.

Oprah, Emma Thompson Comment On Oscar Snubs

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Oprah Winfrey says she's "already won." And Emma Thompson says she's at least relieved not to have to put on "another frock and heels."

Both actresses, snubbed by Oscar this year, are waxing philosophical about the situation, and looking at the bright side. "Don't be annoyed," Winfrey, overlooked in the supporting actress category for "Lee Daniels' The Butler," said of her reaction.

"... I really look at that category and look who is nominated in that category: my friend Julia (Roberts) and June (Squibb), whom I don't know, but Sally Hawkins and Jennifer (Lawrence) and Lupita (Nyong'o.) I think that's fantastic. And so I haven't picked up the acting chops in 15 years. So to be able to be a part of a film that could get that kind of attention, that could earn the kind of audience respect that it has, I've been saying all along, 'I've already won. I already won.'"

As for Thompson, passed over for best actress in "Saving Mr. Banks," she noted: "You just go 'Oh!'— and then you (say) 'Ooh, that means I can work in March instead of getting into another frock and heels.'"

Both actresses spoke at the Critics' Choice Awards on Thursday in Santa Monica.

The eldest daughter of the late Jenni Rivera made her singing debut on Thursday, when she posted a video of her new single “Paloma Blanca” (“White Dove”) on YouTube.

The song was co-written by Chiquis, with the help of Argentine composer Claudia Brant, and is an homage to her late mother Jenni Rivera. “La Diva de la Banda’s” daughter took on the Banda genre and in the song mentions Jenni’s death, the problems between them and how much she misses her mother.

Chiquis' first single had over 30,000 views just two hours after it was posted online. The new track seems to be inspired by “Paloma Negra” (“Black Dove”), a song Jenni used to dedicate to her.

And the late singer’s daughter isn’t only following Jenni’s footsteps in music, Chiquis confirmed in October that she would be portraying her mother in an upcoming biopic.

George Takei Slams Utah Gov. Gary Herbert's Decision Not To Recognize State's Same-Sex Marriages For Now

"Star Trek" actor George Takei is mincing few words when it comes to Utah Gov. Gary Herbert's controversial decision not to recognize the more than 1,300 same-sex marriages which had taken place before the U.S. Supreme Court put the state's marriage equality law on hold.

"Gov. Herbert is consciously bringing harm to 2,600 citizens of Utah," Takei, an outspoken advocate of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights, is quoted by The Salt Lake Tribune as saying. "That’s mean-spirited. He didn’t have to do that. Your governor is trying to put toothpaste back in the tube."

The 76-year-old actor, who married longtime partner, Brad Altman, in 2008, didn't stop at that. "I’m stunned by his stupidity," he told Deadline. "Apparently he believes in governing by hysteria — that’s the only way it can interpreted.”

Takei was in Salt Lake City preparing for the Jan. 18 premiere of "To Be Takei" at the Sundance Film Festival and told Deadline that he'd been particularly looking forward to debuting the film in Utah during the short time frame when same-sex marriage was legal in the state, "and then things started happening."

This isn't the first time that Takei has spoken out in defense of same-sex marriage. In March 2012, Takei vowed to talk to Donald Trump about gay marriage rights in America, the New York Daily News reported. Earlier that same month, while speaking to the Des Moines Register, Trump had said he did not support gay marriage or civil benefits.

One of the most basics rules of journalism stipulates that you need three occurrences to make a trend. Well -- a recently surfaced video of Beyonce rolling her eyes at Kelly Rowland back in their Destiny's Child days recently surfaced, almost a year after Queen Bey had both Rowland and Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams on stage at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, only to turn their mics wayyy down. And now we get a pretty damning third piece of evidence that shows Bey and Kelly's friendship might not be as tight as we've all hoped.

On Thursday (Jan. 16), Rowland posted a photo to her Instagram account of herself with Beyonce and Aaliyah, who would have celebrated her 35th birthday that day.



A few hours later, Beyonce posted the same photo to her Instagram account, only ... can you tell who's missing?

Drake Reveals He Was High At His 'Degrassi' Audition

In a tale that could have been a plot straight out of "Degrassi," Drake revealed to Jimmy Fallon on Thursday (Jan. 16) that he was high when he went to his first ever audition for the beloved Canadian teen melodrama.

"It was like a real pivotal day in my life because it was the first audition I went on, so that’s already a monumental thing. It was also the day that I got accepted by these like really cool Jewish kids at school, and they were finally like, 'Yo, come over,'" he explained to Fallon. "I had this really tug of war moment where I actually did something that I probably shouldn’t have done that starts with a ‘W’ and ends with ‘eed.' That was my first time [smoking], and we did it out of a starts with a 'B' ends with a 'ong.'"

Drake continued, "It was crazy because I started really getting paranoid, I thought I’d just completely ruined my life, I started splashing water on my face constantly, it was like a Clearasil commercial! I showed up to the audition and got just a little less paranoid, went in and did what I could, was just devastated, I couldn’t tell my mom."

Fortunately for Drake, the story had a much happier ending than most "Degrassi" episodes. Rather than a life-ruining moment, the young actor actually got a call back and of course ended up booking the role that would start his career.

The rapper did say that the experience taught him to keep his work "very separate" from times when he indulges in other substances.

"I don't understand people that can actually go out onstage under the influence of anything really," he said. "I have to be straight and clear-minded."

Taylor Swift knows there's nothing a little retail therapy can't cure.

The 24-year-old songstress was looking leggy in a pair of high-waisted short shorts for her shopping trip along Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles on Thursday (Jan. 16). The singer looked very casual in a low-cut white tee under a gray cardigan, compared to the last time we saw her at Sunday night's Golden Globe Awards.

Swift may have lost the award for Best Original Song and been shut out of the Oscar nominations yesterday, but she has the 56th Annual Grammy Awards to look forward to with nominations for Album of the Year, Best Country Song, Best Country Album and Best Country Duo/Group Performance.

Is Goldie Hawn coming back to the big screen?

E! Online reports that the 68-year-old actress recently signed a contract to be represented by Creative Artists Agency (CAA), leading many to speculate whether she's planning on returning to show business.

With a Golden Globe, an Oscar and countless nominations under her belt, Hawn has had an illustrious career, full of iconic moments.

Who could forget the time she threw her drink across the room with wild abandon in "The First Wives Club" ...

Anchorman 2 Media Blitz a Flop? Ron Burgundy Is Laughing All the Way to the Bank

Will Ferrell and the producers of Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues pulled out all the stops creating a months-long marketing campaign for the movie. But did it work? As with a lot of things related to marketing, that's a tough question to answer. But the campaign has set a new benchmark for movie marketing, with a months-long campaign built around real-world experiences and pranks rather than billboards and trailers and TV commercials. If anything, Will Ferrell might at least be showing us how movies are going to be marketed from now on.



How big was the campaign? There were the Dodge Durango commercials, which were not just funny but also incredibly effective. There was Ferrell's appearance as an actual newscaster on a North Dakota TV station, and an arrival in Winnipeg to announce a curling tournament, and an appearance on ESPN interviewing Peyton Manning. There was an event at Emerson College in Boston, which named its School of Communications after Ron Burgundy, for one day.



There were videos on Funny or Die, the site Ferrell founded with his writing partner Adam McKay. There were underwear ads for Jockey. There was a mobile app, and a Ron Burgundy autobiography. There was an Anchorman exhibit at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. There was an appearance on the cover of Dog Fancy magazine. There's a Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor called "Scotchy Scotch Scotch." Ron Burgundy appeared on Letterman, Conan and Kimmel.



For months it was all Ron Burgundy, all the time, and there was so much going on that I began to worry -- was this an indication that the movie was going to be a stink bomb?



At first it seemed that might be the case, as the movie got off to a slow start, prompting the L.A. Times to wonder, "Anchorman 2 box office: what happened?"

That story, published on Dec. 23, pointed out that the movie's opening weekend box office of $26.8 million was less than the $28 million opening weekend for the original Anchorman flick from 2004.



Steven Zeitchik, writing for the Times, theorized that the marketing blitz had backfired, that Ferrell & Co. had oversaturated the market and "made people feel like they had gotten their fill of the character. Film fans really wanted to see a few more hours of Ferrell and friends getting into mischief. And thanks to all these appearances, they did so weeks ago."



But wait -- Ron Burgundy may have started slow, but he finished strong. By January the movie had done $119 million in U.S. box office, and another $40 million overseas, or just shy of $160 million, according to Box Office Mojo. That's pretty good, especially considering that the original Anchorman did $90 million, Box Office Mojo says.



What to make of this? Entertainment is a fickle business, and it can be difficult to determine how well a marketing campaign influenced ticket sales, says David Deal, president of David J. Deal Consulting, in Chicago. Deal is a veteran marketing executive who frequently blogs about technology and entertainment.



He thinks the slow build indicates that the marketing blitz wasn't much of a factor. "Anchorman 2 opened poorly and then started to achieve better box office week after week, which suggests the massive marketing campaign had less impact than hoped," he says.



"Remember, all that clever marketing occurred before the movie came out. It was supposed to trigger a strong opening out of the gate, which it did not. My hypothesis is that the reviews from critics and moviegoers are the stronger factor in its rebound," Deal says.



He thinks good reviews and strong word of mouth may have had more effect than the marketing blitz. Another factor was that the new Hobbit movie opened the weekend before Anchorman and was still doing well, which no doubt hurt Anchorman's opening weekend.



Deal says marketers can extract two lessons:



Don't wear out your audience. The marketing campaign for the Anchorman movie ended up competing with the movie itself, Deal says.



Product, product, product. All the marketing in the world can't save or sell a bad product. But in this case the movie itself was good enough that people started telling friends about it, and so it built up over time.



The question I would ask is how well or how poorly would Anchorman have done without that enormous marketing campaign. It's obviously impossible to answer that, but my gut tells me that the marketing wasn't all in vain and that in fact that barrage of Burgundy did help.



Most sequels don't make nearly double what the original movie made, after all. In fact, Anchorman 2 was a risky project. It would have been very easy for the movie to come and go without making a blip, if only because it's the kind of movie that a lot of people (myself included) would put into the "I'll wait and watch it on iTunes" category. The marketing campaign made it feel more like an event, a happening -- the kind of thing you want to see in a cinema, with a big bunch of other people.

Take A Look At These Vintage Photos Of The Best Actor And Actress Oscar Nominees

Without a doubt, the 10 actors and actresses nominated for Academy Awards in 2014 have plenty experience in front of the camera.

A few of them (Leonardo DiCaprio, Meryl Streep) embraced instant fame upon their screen debuts, while others (Judi Dench, Chiwetel Ejiofor) broke through after years of hard work. But all of them were once fledgling stars whose appearances at movie premieres and award shows didn't elicit the mania it does now. We've combed through vintage photos of from the early red-carpet days of this year's Oscar honorees. Some of the glamour shots come from their debut movies, but all of them are within the first few years of their respective careers. Ahead of the 86th annual Academy Awards, take a gander at these old-school red-carpet captures, along with some details about the movie each actor or actress was promoting around the time the photo was snapped.

Christian Bale
(Best Actor, "American Hustle")
empire of the sun christian bale
Year: 1987 (age 13)
Movie: "Empire of the Sun" (directed by Steven Spielberg, written by Tom Stoppard)
IMDB plot description: A young English boy struggles to survive under Japanese occupation during World War II.
Sample review: "Mr. Bale ... at first seems just a handsome and malleable young performer, another charming child star. But the epic street scene that details the Japanese invasion of the city and separates Jim from his parents reveals this boy to be something more. As Mr. Bale, standing atop a car amid thousands of extras and clasping his hands to his head, registers the fact that Jim is suddenly alone, he conveys the schoolboy's real terror and takes the film to a different dramatic plane. This fine young actor, who appears in virtually every frame of the film and ages convincingly from about 9 to 13 during the course of the story, is eminently able to handle an ambitious and demanding role." -- Janet Maslin, The New York Times

Bruce Dern
(Best Actor, "Nebraska")
bruce dern 1975
Year: 1975 (age 39)
Movie: "Posse" (directed by Kirk Douglas, written by Christopher Knopf and William Roberts)
IMDB plot description: A tough U.S. marshal with political ambitions leads an elite posse to capture a notorious criminal. He succeeds, but instead of cheering him, the public turns against him.
Sample review: "Mr. Douglas and Mr. Dern have a high old time of it, shooting it out on horseback, foot and, once, on a hijacked train. Mr. Douglas's talents as a director have clearly improved since his maiden effort, last year's "Scalawag," but then the screenplay (by William Roberts and Christopher Knopf) is also much better. This is Saturday afternoon entertainment that needn't be ignored at night." -- Vincent Canby, The New York Times

Leonardo DiCaprio
(Best Actor, "The Wolf of Wall Street")
leonardo dicaprio 1993
Year: 1993 (age 19)
Movie: "This Boy's Life" (directed by Michael Caton-Jones, written by Robert Getchell)
IMDB plot description: The story about the relationship between a rebellious '50s teenager and his abusive father, based on the memoirs of writer and literature professor Tobias Wolff.
Sample review: "Toby is played by Leonardo DiCaprio, a relative newcomer (he's done TV, and had the lead in "Critters III"). The movie is successful largely because he is a good enough actor to hold his own in his scenes with De Niro, so that the movie remains his story, and isn't upstaged by the loathsome but colorful Dwight." -- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Chiwetel Ejiofor
(Best Actor, "12 Years a Slave")
chiwetel ejiofor 2002
Year: 2002 (age 25)
Movie: "Dirty Pretty Things" (directed by Stephen Frears, written by Steven Knight)
IMDB plot description: An illegal Nigerian immigrant discovers the unfortunate side of life in London.
Sample review: "Okwe is played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, a brilliant British actor of Nigerian extraction who never shows off. I hate to think of an actor with an ego playing the hard-working, loyal, brave and moral Okwe; he'd make it an ordeal of virtue. Ejiofor's Okwe is too busy hustling to pose against the sunset or sigh melodramatically with self-pity." -- Stephen Hunter, The Washington Post

Matthew McConaughey
(Best Actor, "The Wolf of Wall Street")
matthew mcconaughey 1994
Year: 1993 (age 24)
Movie: "Dazed and Confused" (written and directed by Richard Linklater)
IMDB plot description: The adventures of high school and junior high students on the last day of school in May of 1976.
Sample review: "In the exhilarating 'Dazed and Confused,' 31- year-old director Richard Linklater delivers what may be the most slyly funny and dead-on portrait of American teenage life ever made." -- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

Amy Adams
(Best Actress, "American Hustle")
amy adams 1999
Year: 1999 (age 25)
Movie: "Drop Dead Gorgeous" (directed by Michael Patrick Jann, written by Lona Williams)
IMDB plot description: A small town beauty pageant turns deadly as it becomes clear that one contestant will go to any lengths to win.
Sample review: "Anyone who's cringed at the phony pieties of beauty pageants or wondered what the contestants really are thinking behind those glossy, vacuous smiles will get a taste of sweet revenge from this deft skewering of a bogus institution. 'Gorgeous' has claws, and manages to stick them in all the right places." -- Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle

Cate Blanchett
(Best Actress, "Blue Jasmine")
cate blanchett 1997
Year: 1997 (age 28)
Movie: "Oscar and Lucinda" (directed by Gillian Armstrong, written by Laura Jones)
IMDB plot description: Oscar and Lucinda meet on a ship going to Australia; once there, they are for different reasons ostracized from society, and as a result join forces together.
Sample review: "In a role that Judy Davis was born to play (and that was in fact intended for her years back), luminous newcomer Blanchett also excels as the fiery, self-reliant female industrialist who lives by her own norms, defying society’s prohibitive definition of a 'woman’s place.'" -- Emanuel Levy, Variety

Sandra Bullock
(Best Actress, "Gravity")
sandra bullock 1993
Year: 1993 (age 29)
Movie: "Wrestling Ernest Hemingway" (directed by Randa Haines, written by Steve Conrad)
IMDB plot description: Two lonely, retired septuagenarians, an unkempt, hard-drinking Irish sea captain, and a fussy, well-mannered Cuban barber form an uneasy friendship.
Sample review: "[The picture] clearly favors the men, with the three women playing sketchy roles that serve primarily as plot functions. Still, [Shirley] MacLaine as the lonely but sensitive motel manager, [Piper] Laurie as the coquettishly proud lady and Bullock as the sweet waitress acquit themselves with modest, unassuming performances." -- Emanuel Levy, Variety

Judi Dench
(Best Actress, "Philomena")
judi dench 1965
Year: 1966 (age 32)
Movie: "A Study in Terror" (directed by James Hill, written by Daniel Ford)
IMDB plot description: Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson join the hunt for the notorious serial killer, Jack The Ripper.
Sample review: "An assortment of Southwestern landscapes, the variety of which has seldom been so profligately provided for a horse-and-hero opera, is indeed a major feature of excitement in this stalk-'em-and-chase-'em film, wherein the actors need landscape for their cut-ups the same as football players need a football field." -- Bosley Crowther, The New York Times

Meryl Streep
(Best Actress, "August: Osage County")
meryl streep 1979
Year: 1979 (age 30)
Movie: "Manhattan" (directed by Woody Allen, written by Woody Allen and Marshall Brickman)
IMDB plot description: A divorced New Yorker currently dating a high-schooler brings himself to look for love in the mistress of his best friend instead.
Sample review: "All the characters, save the sublimely innocent Tracy, are in analysis and/or working on a book—most provocatively, Isaac's second ex-wife (a scary Meryl Streep), who has written a hostile memoir of their marriage. With this character, Allen acknowledges the Other." -- J. Hoberman, The Village Voice

Harvey Weinstein Says He Can't Continue To Make Violent Movies

January 17, 2014, 3:09 pm

One day after announcing plans to make a movie that takes on the National Rifle Association "head on," Harvey Weinstein told CNN host Piers Morgan that he will also look to change the output from his studio, The Weinstein Company.

"You have to look in the mirror too," Weinstein told Morgan when the host brought up violent films that TWC has released, including Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" and "Django Unchained." "I have to choose movies that aren't violent, or as violent as they used to be. For me, personally, I can't continue to do that. The change starts here."

Weinstein went on to say that he "can't make one movie and say this is what I want for my kids, and then go out and be a hypocrite." He cited "Lone Survivor" as an example of a violent movie that he would produce, however, noting that it was "a tribute to the United States Special Forces."

"I'm not going to make some crazy action movie just to blow up people and exploit people and make some crazy action movie," he said.

It bears noting that Weinstein has released every Tarantino movie since "Pulp Fiction." When Deadline.com reported on Tarantino's new project, a Western that may be called "The Hateful Eight," editor Mike Fleming wrote that it was likely The Weinstein Company would be involved:

Tarantino likely has several months left to hammer out the shooting script so nothing gets finalized until then. At that point, Harvey Weinstein gets involved in funding it, most likely with a partner for foreign territories.


Tarantino was scrutinized for the portrayal of gun violence in "Django Unchained," his violent revenge film set during the Civil War, which was released 11 days after the murders of 26 people (including 20 children) at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

"I think it's disrespectful to their memory, actually ... to talk about movies,” Tarantino said to NPR host Terry Gross during an interview in January of 2013 when asked about the connection between gun violence and movies. “Obviously, the issue is gun control and mental health. [...] I've been asked this question for 20 years -- about the effects of violence in movies related to violence in real life. My answer is the same 20 years ago. It hasn't changed one iota. Obviously, I don't think one has to do with the other."

Joe Jonas Is An Uber Driver, For Real

It's only been a few months since the Jonas Brothers officially split up and already Joe Jonas has found himself a new job.

The 24-year-old singer and actor is a certified Uber driver in the Los Angeles area.

Twitter user @lindseyfarwell requested an Uber car on Thursday (Jan. 16), but wasn't expecting that her driver would be a boy-band pop star. Much to her surprise, Joe Jonas showed up to chauffeur her and a co-worker to Pinkberry. Jonas joined his passengers inside the fro-yo shop for a snack before posing for a selfie with them.




A source from Uber confirmed Jonas' status with E! News, saying, "Joe is officially a driver on the uberX platform, which is our low-cost, eco-friendly vehicle type. He went through all the onboarding, and went through the system to be verified as a driver on the platform. He's gotten high ratings. He's a great driver."

A different source told E! News that while Jonas is indeed a real Uber driver, it's all a stunt for a viral video that he's filming.

MySpace employee Lee Mills, one of the passengers, recounted the experience and the surprise, saying that he almost skipped out on the trip.

"After about 20 minutes of waiting, I was about ready to bail, but our car finally arrived and Lindsey dragged me downstairs. Lo and behold, the driver was none other than Joe Jonas. What!? I thought. This has to be a joke or a trick, right? After a few awkward moments of total confusion, Joe (I feel like we’re on a first-name basis), Lindsey and I hopped in his Mini Cooper."

Mills is certainly glad that he stuck out the wait to get the ride of his life. He notes that Jonas was "funny as hell" and that he brought a lot of "charm and personality" to the ride.

Head over to MySpace to read Mills' full post about the experience.

This sure beats taking a taxi.

Sandra Bullock's Reaction To An Oscar Nod Is One That All Moms Will Definitely Understand

Being nominated for an Academy Award is, obviously, a huge honor that puts actors and actresses on a whole new level professionally. But, when you're also a parent, Oscar doesn't change much.

Sandra Bullock told the New York Times, in reference to her Best Actress nomination for "Gravity":

“I don’t think it ever stops being an absolute thrill, but I do have an immediate leveler... I still have to get up and make lunch for a little person, and pray -- please, dear God -- that he eats something I put in his lunchbox today.”


Bullock adopted Louis Bardo Bullock in January, 2010 -- just two months before winning her first Oscar for Best Actress in "The Blind Side." Soon after, she told People about life as a mom: "You wake up, you feed, you burp, you play, you do laundry ... I'm still in that stage where I'm just amazed with him and at life."

All together now. Stars, they really are just like us.

Screen Actors Guild Awards To Offer Window Into Oscar Race

Oscar tea-leaf reading doesn't get any better than at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

When the 20th annual SAG Awards get underway Saturday night at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles (broadcast live on TNT and TBS beginning at 8 p.m. EST), the guild's choices will be heavily scrutinized for their predictive powers about the Academy Awards. Actors make up the largest branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, so SAG members have perhaps more sway in determining Academy Awards winners than any other group.

This year, the five nominees for SAG's top honor, outstanding performance by a movie cast, are: "12 Years a Slave," ''American Hustle," ''Dallas Buyers Club," ''August: Osage County" and "Lee Daniels' The Butler."

Obviously, SAG and the academy don't always agree: Neither "August: Osage County" nor "The Butler" were nominated for best picture, and "The Butler" was snubbed entirely. The effects-heavy, sparsely peopled "Gravity" was predictably overlooked by SAG (except for a best actress nomination to Sandra Bullock), while it garnered 10 Oscar nods.

But the SAG Awards will give a window into support for Oscar favorites "12 Years a Slave" and "American Hustle." In individual honors, SAG favored "12 Years," nominating Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender and Lupita Nyong'o. Jennifer Lawrence, for supporting actress, is the lone "American Hustle" nominee.

The SAG outstanding cast awards have lined up with Oscar best-picture winners, including "Argo," ''The King's Speech," ''Slumdog Millionaire" and "No Country for Old Men." But SAG diverged in the past with picks like "The Help," ''Inglourious Basterds" and "Little Miss Sunshine." The actors did foretell one of the biggest Oscar upsets in 2005, choosing "Crash" over "Brokeback Mountain."

But the SAG Awards also represent one of the more collegiate atmospheres of awards season, with winners almost uniformly expressing gratitude for an honor chosen by their peers. The speeches are often good, too, and can help stoke Oscar support.

Among the nominees Saturday night are Cate Blanchett ("Blue Jasmine"), Matthew McConaughey ("Dallas Buyers Club"), Forest Whitaker ("Lee Daniels' The Butler"), Meryl Streep ("August: Osage County"), Tom Hanks ("Captain Phillips"), Emma Thompson ("Saving Mr. Banks") and Bruce Dern ("Nebraska"). James Gandolfini was nominated posthumously for his supporting performance in "Enough Said."

Among SAG's TV drama ensemble contenders are HBO's "Boardwalk Empire" and "Game of Thrones," AMC's "Breaking Bad," PBS's "Downton Abbey" and Showtime's "Homeland." Comedy series ensemble nominees include NBC's "30 Rock," Netflix's "Arrested Development," CBS's "The Big Bang Theory," ABC's "Modern Family" and HBO's "Veep."

SAG's lifetime achievement award will be given Rita Moreno, the 81-year-old "West Side Story" actress whose career has spanned Broadway, television and music.

How 'Rising Star' And Israeli Mossad Might Change The Future Of Reality Singing Shows

ABC and the Israeli Mossad teamed up to change the future of reality singing competitions in America with the network's latest show, "Rising Star."

Based on an Israeli show by the same name, "Rising Star" will be a live show where contestants audition in front of an audience. Singers will perform on a stage separated from the audience by a huge video wall (you can see the video wall in the photo from the Israeli show above). Voters will weigh in on the singers' performances while they're happening, and the contestants will be able to see the votes tallied live as they perform onstage. When the singer reaches a certain level of votes, his or her identity is revealed to the audience. Talk about pressure!

According to ABC president Paul Lee, the Israel's Mossad intelligence agency designed the voting app for the Israeli show. At the Televisions Critics Association winter press tour, Lee said, "I think this changes the rules. In Israel it clearly changed the rules, because it came out gangbusters. It’s sort of a combination of a massive talent show and, to some degree, 'The Gong Show.' You are literally voting live."

The original Israeli version of the show wrapped up its first season in December 2013 with more than 1 million viewers. Keshet Broadcasting reported that over 10 million votes were cast during the first season. Before the finale, the network was already focused on selling the show and its technology to international markets.

Singing competition shows haven't been killing in the ratings as they once were, but ABC is giving this one a run. Obviously there are a few questions that need to be sorted out before the show begins production -- how will West Coasters weigh in with the time delay? -- but the network has yet to set a premiere date.
