Ah ha, the Wolfpack is back alright. We’ve been teased before, but this time it’s in picture form. Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zach Galifianakis), and that vicious-looking monkey find themselves in a bind here, this time in Bangkok. But where’s their best friend Doug (Justin Bartha)? That, my friends, still remains a mystery; but we can guesstimate that his absence will once again catapult the band of brothers into a memorable heap of laugh-out-loud trouble.
In this tantalizing teaser highlighting what’s to come on Fringe the show asks fans, “Where will you be when it happens?”
When what happens exactly? What is “it“? Perhaps they are referring to the impending doom (the obliteration of one universe) brought on by the machine + Peter Bishop. Or maybe it’s something else entirely…
Whatever’s going to happening, it’s going down when the sun comes up at 6:02AM. Now how do I know that? In a blink-and-you-miss-it moment, the time “6:02AM” flashes precisely at :12 and then again at :13 in the video above. Sneaky, huh? FOX posted a lengthier promo called “Life and Death” and this video also makes mention of this mysterious time. I’ve embedded the second spot after the break, and I’ll leave it up to you to find the clue.
A private detective is hired to find a missing stripper but the job turns complicated when everyone he questions ends up dead. From the mean streets of Los Angeles to the desolate desert of New Mexico, Cruz must contend with a brutal Russian Boxer, three brash LAPD detectives, an aged billionaire looking for the Big Bang, and the billionaire’s stunningly gorgeous wife. The solution to the mystery will cost ten lives, net $30 million and just might explain – well – everything.
So why should you care? Take a look at this cast: Antonio Banderas is the private eye (and who doesn’t like a good murder mystery?) and he’s surrounded by fantastic TV stars like Prison Break‘s William Fichner, No Ordinary Family‘s Autumn Reeser, Lost‘s Rebecca Mader, and Breakout King‘s Jimmi Simpson. James Van Der Beek and Snoop Dogg are thrown in for good measure. Should be a fun ride!
We got a glimpse into the upcoming Captain American movie when a 30-second spot aired during the Super Bowl, but that does not compare to this full blown trailer recently submitted to the Internet by Marvel. In the theatrical trailer we witness a scrawny Steve Rogers (great FX here with Chris Evans) fight his way into the US army so he can help battle the Nazis and destroy Hitler. When he’s turned down, his sheer perseverance gains the attention of scientists who want to carry out an experiment. Said experiment is part of the top-secret super-soldier program that ultimately transforms Rogers into a man with incredible strength and speed. Captain America is born. The story’s villain Red Skull (Hugo Weaving) makes a quick cameo.
Captain America: The First Avenger hits theatres July 22 in three dimensions.
You know Nick Pitera; he’s the YouTube star famously known for singing both the male and female parts from Aladdin‘s “A Whole New World.” (That video, by the way, currently has a whopping 22.8 million views.) His latest video he calls a “One Man Disney Movie” and it includes him once again seamlessly switching between the male and female vocals. Its a medley of Disney songs ranging from classics like Beauty and the Beast and more recent tales like Enchanted. What’s cool is that Pitera has split the screen into six squares each representing a different role (Heroine, Sidekick, Chorus, etc.) and we get to watch them all at the same time. Sit back and enjoy the nearly nine minute journey through Disney music as told by the man with a magnificently odd voice.
Hey Ryan Murphy, dontcha think it’s time to cast this kid on Glee?
In this music video titled “Machine Civilization,” Japanese dancer and martial artist Genki Sudo leads a group of businessmen in a synchronized routine against a synth-pop background not unlike music you’re used to hearing from Canadian musician Owl City.
The unprecedented disasters unfolding in Japan; earthquakes, tsunami, and nuclear explosions, will somehow change things to come. And to send my message about this, I have expressed it here with WORLD ORDER.
In collaboration with Takashi Watanabe, Sudo wrote these words and produced this song and video to share with the world a message of solidarity following the natural disaster that occurred in Japan. The spectacular slo-mo syncronicity highlights the “WE ARE ALL ONE” message he is trying to send.

Gaga has replaced the electronic energy from the original rendition of “Born This Way” and swapped it out for a country twang vibe. And you want to know something? It’s even better! What do you think?
It’s been a long time coming for Big Sean. He started his rap career back in 2007 when he released his first mixtape Finally Famous Vol. 1: The Mixtape and signed with Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music. Since then he’s dropped two more mixtapes, became a Def Jam Recordings player and now he’s nearly ready to share with the world his first full-length album. Finally Famous: The Album is expected to release May 3. Here’s the first single off the record; it’s called “My Last”, features vocals from Chris Brown, and is produced by No I.D. Download it at iTunes here.
HOLY PARALLEL UNIVERSE, BATMAN! Executive producer J.H. Wyman has announced via Twitter that Fringe has been picked up for another season! In so many words he said:
“Fringe was picked up!!!! Thanks Fringedom!”
A FOX spokeswoman confirms that the show will return next fall in full force–that’s right, meaning a full, 22 episode fourth season will be underway. CELEBRATION TIME, commence.
Oh, and take that Friday nights; guess you’re not the night where all shows go to die after all.
Update: Jump after the break to find the official press release celebrating the Fringe-tastic news.
If you haven’t heard of Pusha T it’s about time you figure out why he’s the hottest up-and-coming rapper out there right now. He’s one half of Clipse and he’s the newest member of Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music family. Recently he’s been featured on West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy showcasing his skills on tracks like “Runaway” and “So Appalled.” It’s time for him to shine on his own, and so he’s finally released his much anticipated mixtape Fear of God. The 13-track collection plays very much like an EP and features artists Kanye West, Rick Ross, 50 Cent, and Kevin Cossom. On the production side, Pusha’s teamed with West, The Neptunes, Hit-Boy, Tha Bizness, Nottz, and The Inkredibles.

Will Schuester and Holly Holliday are going to bring their Gleeful chemistry to Matt Morrison’s upcoming debut album. They will perform a duet covering the classic Judy Garland song “Over the Rainbow.” Gleeks know that Morrison as Mr. Shue performed this song with Mark Salling (Puck) in the season one finale. He also happened to use this song when he auditioned for the show. “People kind of know me for that song now,” says Morrison. “I wanted to do a duet with a female. I thought that was a good song to do, and we really did a different arrangement of it. It’s a lot of strings, and it’s beautiful.”
Morrison’s self-titled album drops May 10. Get a taste of what to expect by listening to the lead single “Summer Rain.”
On Monday Kiefer Sutherland told the ladies of The View that the oft-rumored but anticipated 24 movie will come out “summer 2012.” Hop after the break to hear him say it.
The rumor mill has it that Tony Scott will direct, and it’s been publicly confirmed that Billy Ray’s script was scraped. More details here.
Just like Mitch Hurwitz and the Arrested Development movie, it’s good to know that Sutherland still has the project in mind.
