Let this be a lesson to all that Xzibit is no longer in the car pimping game. The rapper and former host of MTV’s “Pimp My Ride” was asked by a fan via Twitter on Saturday to help trick out her car, but he didn’t feel like obliging. “@xzibit can you pimp my ride?” the fan asked. “No bitch, shits been over for a decade. Get a job,” he responded on Sunday. Also Read: 'Empire' Adds Xzibit to Cast as Rival to Lucious in Season 2 When another fan accused X to the Z of being ungracious to his fans,...

Heed Celebrity Big Brother's language warning during the show tonight, because Austin lets rip at Janice in a highly aggressive and foul-mouthed rant.

Highlights will show a furious Austin lambast the former supermodel, calling her a "f**king embarrassment of a mother" and a "stupid f**king bitch".

It all starts when Austin learns he has been nominated by James Hill, and the pair bicker at length.

The American accuses James of "[drinking] the Kool-Aid" and being "brainwashed" by Janice.

When Janice comforts James in the bedroom, calling Austin "wrong" and "out of line", Austin walks in and begins his tirade.

"You are a terrible example of a woman and a mother," he shouts. "Your children would be so embarrassed. You're the f**king worst excuse for a woman ever."

Janice responds by sticking her middle fingers up, to which Austin says: "You're such a good mother to throw your...

At WonderCon this weekend, I had a fun time covering the Walt Disney Animation Studios and Disney Television Animation: Careers at Disney Animation panel with Camille Eden (Manager, Recruitment), Matt Roberts (Artistic Recruiter), and Brooke Keesling (Director, Talent Development) who shared some of the different creative roles that help make animated films and television shows. The discussion was moderated by Disney animator Darrin Butters, who worked on Big Hero 6 and Frozen, and offered a behind-the-scenes look at this amazing art form. The panel began with a short screening showcasing Disney Studios’ most popular film and television animation and ended with an audience Q&A. The panelists talked about the different approaches of each studio; what it’s like working within a vertical studio where everything is done in-house; the development process in the studio pipeline; the collaborative, fast-paced, and fun working environment; how art and technology are combined; how...

Robson Green has admitted that he is "living the dream" with his latest series Ultimate Catch.

The Grantchester and Strike Back star returns to Quest this week for his latest fishing adventure, in which he travels around the world in search of some of the most sought-after fish, such as the Golden Dorado in Bolivia.

He told Digital Spy: "So many people and professional anglers come up to me and say, 'You are the luckiest actor on the planet', and I just reply and say, 'I'm a hard working actor'. I do a lot of prep and my father used to say, 'The harder you work the luckier you get', and 'Get a job you love, then you never have to work again in your life'.

Recently Emmy-nominated actor, Billy Bob Thornton shares some never-before-told thoughts about life, fame and his past relationships, including growing up in a small Arkansas town and advice about keeping the artist inside alive on Sunday's episode of “Oprah's Master Class.” In TheWrap‘s exclusive clip, Thornton explains why he thinks life is magical, and why he can't embrace TV's glut of competition shows.

Would you like to earn your living watching movies all day? Ever wondered how Netflix comes up with all the categories and tags they assign to your favorite movies and TV shows? Do you think you can come up with something better than “Cult Evil Kid Horror Movies“? Do you live in Ireland or the UK?

Well now’s your chance to work for Netflix doing exactly that. A link to a Netflix job listing surfaced on Reddit Monday evening for a UK/Ireland Tagger in their Content and Product Management division.

The tagger will deconstruct the films and programmes and describe them using objective tags.

Marc and Brenda Lhormer are the Founders and current Heads of this wonderful event which we have attended, and worked at in various roles, since its beginning.

I always use this Fest when speaking as the best model of a regional Film Festival that I know. In other words I find it a perfect blending of high current level film culture, works and people from the biz and film production world with a community that is film centric, loyal and always hospitable to us 'outsiders'.

May I also add that personally the Northern California Wine Country (which the Fest uses superbly!!) is one of my favorite places anywhere for many years now.

I look forward to attending and supporting this great event this coming up version, November 13 – 17.

“Who’s going to believe a talking head? Get a job in a sideshow! “

Any film that features scream queen Barbara Crampton tied up and stripped down while a live, lascivious severed head drools all over her luscious bod has gotta be doin’ something right! The guys at Destroy The Brain.com have dusted off Re-animator for their monthly Late Night Grindhouse midnight series this weekend (June 7th and 8th)

Re-animator was the stylish and wonderfully wild 1985 feature film debut for Stuart Gordon, based on H.P. Lovecraft’s 1922 story “Herbert West, Re-Animator”. West is an arrogant young medical student who believes he’s unlocked the secret to reanimating dead tissue, thanks to his glowing-green liquid known as “Re-Agent”. West, played by Jeffrey Combs, comes into the life of promising doctor-to-be Dan Cain (Bruce Abbott) and thoroughly changes his life for the worst, as bodies and body parts start to come to demonic life.

Legendary thespian Malcolm McDowell will again be in the middle of another creepy tale when The Employer is released next month by First Look Pictures. McDowell sat down with Dread Central to talk about the film and some other current projects.

Although The Employer is not a dyed-in-the-wool horror film, more of a genre-bender according to the actor, it certainly will entertain audiences with a chilling story. "It's not an out and out horror film per se," McDowell said. "Sort of a psychological thriller/horror. It's a little bit fuzzy as to what genre it is. But it's a fun piece. We did it on a very modest budget. I liked the script. It's definitely a character-driven piece, and our director, Frank Merle, did a great job. It's a fun ride."

And speaking on the director, McDowell continued with the accolades. "This is his first feature film, but it certainly won't be his last,...

NBC‘s comedy pilot Holding Patterns has found its Chad. Nelson Franklin (Argo) has joined the project, from writer Justin Spitzer, Peter Traugott’s Tbd Prods and Universal TV.

He replaces Robert Buckley who was originally cast in the role but exited after the table read. Franklin, repped by Wme, Principato Young and Ken Richman, recently recurred on New Girl and Veep and will next be seen in the films Get A Job and jOBS.

London, Nov 21: Singer Tulisa Contostavlos has broken her silence over her love life with footballer Danny Simpson and posted furious messages on Twitter against girls who have been criticising her.

The singer has been in the news ever since Simpson's ex−girlfriend has criticised Contostavlos for dating the footballer.

She vented her feeling on Twitter, reports thesun.co.uk.

Tulisa Contostavlos launched a Twitter tirade against the ex-girlfriends of partner Danny Simpson in the early hours today (November 21). The X Factor judge hit back at claims by the former partners of her Premier League footballer boyfriend stating that he is likely to let her down in the future. She tweeted: "These b****** r actually sick in the head. Crazy for the cash boy. Lying skanks. "Believe me I've seen Hard Evidence #Get A Job Broke B****** (sic)."

It seems like just yesterday that Adam Green's artful use of Internet marketing heralded the arrival of Hatchet, its mock trailer offering the promise of a back-to-basics slasher trumpeted as the return of 'old school American horror' with some of the genre's most respected icons.

Jump forward six years to present day, and a hungry Hatchet fan base are looking forward to the imminent release of the third chapter, testament to the widespread appeal of Victor Crowley, Green's gloriously old school, axe-wielding creation. Foregoing some much needed sleep to speak with us, the filmmaker gracefully sat down to talk of the second season of his and fellow genre director Joe Lynch’s horror comedy sitcom "Holliston" (Blu-ray / DVD review here), his producing gig on Hatchet III, and his scribe duties on the upcoming Chris Columbus-produced kids’ monster-fantasy Killer Pizza. Last but not least, he even dropped us a...

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney joked that ‘X-Factor’ judge Briteny Spears should get a job in a new online promo spoof for the singing competition, Celebuzz is reporting. The spoof features the former Governor of Massachusetts and President Barack Obama, as their second debate is re-imagined as an ‘X-Factor’ audition. The two candidates face a tough panel of judges in the spoof. Simon Cowell tells Obama that “it sounded like you were dying.” Spears then told Romney “you’re really cute, but your vote isn’t really that great.” The Republican candidate responded, “I want you to get a job!” The spoof of the upcoming Presidential Election was designed to get fans [ Read More ]

If only everyone understood that just because they have a thought, they don't need to tweet about it. The ability to grasp that concept might have saved country singer and "The Voice" judge Blake Shelton from an embarrassing tiff with his Twitter followers.

On July 27, Shelton made the odd choice to boast about how he deliberately ran over a turtle with his car:

Does anyone know if the Eastern Box turtle is protected in Oklahoma? If so I didn't just swerve to the shoulder of the road to smash one...

— Blake Shelton (@blakeshelton) July 27, 2012

Not surprisingly, the Twittersphere responded with concern and anger. NPR blogger Barbara J. King replied to Shelton's tweet, asking if it was a bad joke:

"That turtle's life meant something- was your tweet a bad joke? Why would you be so cruel to a living being?”

Shelton, in return, told her to "Shut up..."

After that remark,...

Today, Ain’t It Cool News debuted a clip from Expendables 2, in which Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham zip down a zipline into a jungle and kill a whole bunch of dudes. At one point, it almost looks like they’re going to die. But then — spoiler alert — they don’t die! Anyhow, the important thing to remember is that Sylvester Stallone was born one year after World War II ended, and he’s still ziplining into a jungle, so what’s your excuse? Get a job, hippie!

Watch the clip, which also includes a rare sighting of a Hemsworth:...

Stephen Colbert continued hammering away at Karl Rove and Super PACs on Tuesday night, talking more in-depth about the way 501(c)(4)'s, or "Spooky PACs", use huge sums of anonymous money to influence politics.

"Their negative attack ads count as charity, in the same way that yelling, 'Get a job you dirty bum!' is a donation to the homeless."

The host also explained how Rove uses money raised through his own 501(c)(4), Crossroads Gps, to donate to the Center For Individual Freedom, which is "aggressively toppling disclosure laws at the state level." As Colbert put it, "That's Karl Rove giving anonymous political money to help keep political money anonymous. I believe that's what our founders envisioned for democracy. No, not those founders... the anonymous ones in the back."

Watch the full clip above and let us know if, like us, you've learned everything you know about Super PACs from Colbert as well.

Gossip's Beth Ditto

Beth Ditto is definitely feeling her Trenta-sized coffee (which she pronounces "Trawn-tay," proof that, while you can take the girl out of Arkansas, you definitely can't take Arkansas out of the girl). She bounded around the MTV Newsroom, proclaiming to no one in particular she's "sweatin' so much" and explaining the laundry list of names she weighed for Gossip's upcoming album — Get a Job and Wrap being two particular favorites, the latter because she "loves Christmas and a good pun" — before finally settling on A Joyful Noise.

And why?

"It's a Dolly Parton/ Queen Latifah movie, after all," she explained.

Of course, A Joyful Noise is also much more than that — it's Gossip's first album in nearly three years, a shimmering selection of house-tinged tunes (produced by Brian Higgins,...

2012 will be the first year that GeekTrant will invade WonderCon, mostly due to the fact that it was moved down to Anaheim, CA this year which is right in our backyard.

Written by Enchanted screenwriter Bill Kelly, the movie has a possibility of being a great love story. I’m sure that Hemsworth will be able to put The Last Song behind him, given that he is in two highly anticipated movies this year. Relativity Media will distribute the movie.

Next up we have Selena Gomez in The Sky is Everywhere. Deadline reports that the young starlet is...

What is Movie News After Dark? It’s a nightly movie news column that is celebrating Monday Funday with what amounts to a bunch of shenanigans. Don’t worry though, we’ve slipped in at least one legitimate piece of news. We’ll get to that shortly. We begin tonight with something found a few weeks ago via Warming Glow, where an image from the Twitter account of Charley Koontz, best known as Fat Neil on Community, shows that Executive Producer Dan Harmon is just as bitter about Community‘s ratings as the rest of us. Seriously, who is the Nielsen Family? In other news, I hope Dan Harmon never changes. Tonight in actual news, Bryan Cranston and Anna Kendrick have joined Get a Job, the next project from Roger Dodger director Dylan Kidd, who has spent 8 years not directing anything since the great, great Roger Dodger. They join Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Jay Pharoah...

It's hard to believe that its now a decade since Dylan Kidd's witty debut Roger Dodger introduced itself. Since then the director has given us the less-seen Ps, and more recently some episodes of Adult Swim's Children's Hospital, but Kidd is now finally set to return to cinema screens with Get A Job.The film has the zeitgeisty idea of following a group of recent university graduates facing the fact that, in the current economic climate, they're going to struggle to land satisfying careers. Or any job at all. It's being set up at CBS, where it's attracting some serious attention.Rising star Miles Teller (Rabbit Hole, Footloose, 21 And Over, Project X) is in talks to take the lead, and there's also been interest from Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Jay Pharaoh, Anna Kendrick and Bryan Cranston. Jesse Eisenberg, for whom Roger Dodger was a big break, is apparently up for a cameo.

Anna Kendrick and Bryan Cranston are among the stars reportedly linked to appearing in new comedy Get a Job. The project is the work of Roger Dodger director Dylan Kidd, who will produce the movie for CBS Films, according to Variety. Footloose actor Miles Teller is said to be in negotiations to star in the film, with other potential roles for Kendrick, Cranston, Superbad's Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Saturday Night Live's Jay Pharaoh, and a potential cameo for Eisenberg, who worked with Kidd on Roger Dodger. The plot of the film follows a recent college graduate and his (more)...

#62. The Story of Luke - Alonso Filomeno Mayo What's a Sundance Film Festival without Lou Pucci Taylor? I can't remember an edition without his presence. Production may have wrapped up a couple of months ago, but Alonso Filomeno Mayo's feature debut The Story of Luke could be a lock for U.S Dramatic Comp or Premieres slot. Gist: Lou Pucci Taylor stars as Luke, 25, is autistic and has lived a sheltered life with his grandparents. But his world is turned upside down when his grandmother dies and he is forced to live with his dysfunctional relatives who have no patience for him or his senile grandfather, who they quickly force into a nursing home. Luke is left with his grandfather’s final semi-coherent words: “Get a job. Find a girl. Live your own life. Be a man!” For the first time in his life, Luke has a mission. He...

How many people can say they had sex in a ‘Dancing with the Stars’ trailer? Kendra Wilkinson can!

In Kendra Wilkinson‘s new tell-all book Being Kendra: Cribs, Cocktails & Getting My Sexy Back, she freely talks about her sex life with husband Hank Baskett!

Being that she’s a former Playboy bunny, it’s no shock that Kendra is so open about her sexual relationship with Hank. In a juicy chapter called “The Birds And The Bees,” Kendra explains her theory on why having sex in a bed can be dull.

“Sex in a bed is so damn boring, I try to avoid the bed as much as possible. Why limit yourself? The bed is the bed, it’s where you sleep and read. Would you exercise in bed? No. So I try not to have sex there; it’s just not an exciting place to be.”

She goes...

Dear Rock Stars: You might want to think twice before asking Zach Galifianakis for freebies. The star of The Hangover movies gave Queens of the Stone Age a little more than they asked when they called his manager for free tickets to his sold-out stand-up gig at Largo at the Coronet in Los Angeles Wednesday night. They got prime seats in Row F and a whole lock of mockery to boot. “I don’t know you f—-ing guys!” the comedian yelled at the band, seated in the all-ages crowd of 270 fans, which ranged from hoodie-wearing hipsters to bearded, bespectacled...

ABC is coming out with a new sitcom called “Work It” about two guys who dress up like women to get jobs in this now female-dominated working world (?) To spare us from having to watch this future worst thing we will ever see, we’ve gone ahead and just guessed the script to the entire series, which you can read below in all its terrible glory. (Opposite of) enjoy! [Jake and Nicky are sitting at a bar] Jake (The Sort Of Reasonable Main Guy): Well, that’s it. The last job opening in the city and I just blew it! Seems like no one’s hiring these days. Nicky (His Less Reasonable Friend): Hey man, could be worse. At least you didn’t get Donnie Trumped like me! Jake: Donnie Trumped? Nicky: “You’re Fired.” [Laughtrack] Jake: But what am I gonna tell Emily, she’ll kill me! Nicky: Psh, women. “Get a job, gimmie money, do...

It's one of the great paradoxes of our time, in line with Bristol Palin's campaign for teen abstinence, genuine pleather and, gosh, is Jessica Simpson actually really smart? Now Patti Stanger, creator and tour de force behind Bravo's hit reality show "Millionaire Matchmaker" gears up for season five of television's most exclusive club in high spirits — and highly single.

To her credit, what Patti sells isn't guaranteed marriage or even coupledom — not to the aloof-but-wealthy men she coaches, or to the sexed-up women she reigns in for the meet-and-greet sessions she calls "mixers." That's usually the case, at least, though Patti's worked with millionairesses and gay millionaires too.

No, what Patti sells is far more enticing: the prospect of love.

"Everyone deserves love," the upbeat New Jersey native has repeatedly quipped throughout the seasons, and judging from her recent weight-loss post-breakup from fiance Andy Friedman last year, she still firmly believes it.

In a recent interview for "Wired" magazine, the wonderful Katee Sackhoff ("Battlestar Galactica," Your Cylon-Themed Sex Dreams) talked about her current and future projects, Bryan Cranston's affectionate teasing and, oh yeah, kicking the crap out of Evangeline Lilly ("Lost," Hurt Locker, Your Island-Themed Murder Dreams). Apparently Lilly narrowly beat out Sackhoff for the leading role in the upcoming robot battle flick Reel Steal. Sackhoff said: "I am so much bigger than her, I could hurt her in a second. But she's Canadian and they're vicious sometimes. Because they're so nice, I think they keep it all in. Those Canadians, you never know what you're going to get." Um, in the case of Lilly, I think we all know what you get. You get Kate, the most obnoxious, simpering, manipulative wench to ever helm a popular show. Sackhoff also awesomely referred to Lilly as "what's-her-name."' You can read the...
