What It Took To Get That ‘McLovin Up In A Tree With A Trio Of Teen Hotties’ Shot In ‘Vanity Fair’
9:10AM Seth | Yesterday, we unveiled a short excerpt from Vanity Fair’s exciting “Fresh New Hollywood Faces Of Tomorrow Today or Whatever” issue, in which Superbad breakout-sidekick Christopher Mintz-Plasse was made to answer a series of revealing multiple-choice questions. (”Coffee, tea, or me? Boxers or Lethal Injection?”). Accompanying the interview was a stunning black-and-white portrait, in which Mintz-Plasse teetered on a tree limb next to three comely up-and-comers: Zoë Kravitz (Lenny’s kid), Superbad co-star Emma Stone, and Olivia “Honest to Blog” Thirlby. What the bucolic photograph successfully managed to hide, however, was that it was taken in the middle of a heavy downpour. More »
‘One Tree Hill’ Makes It To 100 Episodes You Haven’t Seen
5:30AM Seth | One Tree Hill celebrates its 100th episode with a very special one in which Chad Michael Murray slips into autopilot while secretly fantasizing to himself about how nice it would be to break free of The CW ghetto for the feature movie career he so richly deserves. [Variety] Peter Berg signs on to direct Dune for Paramount, presumably righting whatever wrongs were committed against the sacred source material by David Lynch’s Sting-in-a-licorice-thong version. [Variety] McLovin works! The voice talents of Christopher Mintz-Plasse, along with Superbad buddy and child insult comic Jonah Hill, will be employed to thrilling effect in Dreamworks’s computer-animated fantasy, How to Train Your Dragon.

McLovin Fights Back: ‘I’m completely different than the Vote for Pedro guy’
7:04AM Mark Graham | Earlier this month, we voiced our concern that Christopher Mintz-Plasse (aka McLovin) was in danger of becoming the next “Vote For Pedro” guy. Well, we just learned that a reporter from E! cornered McLovin at the Semi-Pro premiere the other night and asked him to respond to the item we filed. These were the first words out of his mouth: I mean, [Efren "Vote For Pedro" Ramirez] did a movie with Jack Black after [appearing in Napoleon Dynamite], right? So, that’s good.” Actually, McLovin, that wasn’t Efren Ramirez who appeared alongside Jables in Nacho Libre. That was Héctor Jiménez. Despite his apparent difficulties in discerning actors with Latino heritages, things do seem to be on the rise with the reigning King Of The Geeks. More »
Is McLovin In Danger Of Becoming The Next Pedro?
6:40AM Mark Graham | When Napoleon Dynamite exploded into the pop culture universe back in the summer of 2004, more people than we care to remember walked around sporting “Vote For Pedro” t-shirts. In the wake of that film’s inexplicable success, Jon Heder went back to work (albeit mostly unmemorably) while Efren Ramirez, better known as Pedro, seemed content just to ride the wave of popularity that the film provided him. During the next year, there was nary a public function that Ramirez DIDN’T show up to, nor was there a photo opp that went by without him sporting a goofy grin and his “Vote For Pedro” shirt (including the Academy Awards!). Why do we bring this up? Because we fear the very same thing is about to happen to McLovin. More »
