‘South Park’ Creators’ ‘Mormon Musical’ To Light Up Broadway With Magical Underwear
6:28AM Kyle Buchanan | File this under “good timing”: just as the passage Proposition 8 ignited a gays vs. Mormons clash so intense that only David Archuleta can mediate a resolution, word has leaked about the next project from South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, a Broadway-bound show entitled Mormon Musical. The two have set openly gay Xanadu alum Cheyenne Jackson to star, and Jackson opened up to Pop Wrap about what to expect (besides, obviously, the angel Moroni slathered in gold body glitter): More »
Sarah Palin Goes For One Last, Sexy ‘South Park’ Score
1:45AM STV | This may replace holograms as Election Night’s most stunning TV accomplishment: While the rest of us were recognising the historic evening with a drink or 20, the South Park foremen cranked their assembly line into perversely high gear with animated snippets from both Barack Obama and John McCain’s campaign-ending speeches. And as we should have figured, their statesmanship was simply a means to a lucrative, criminal end at a drunken nation’s expense. Leave it to Trey Parker and Matt Stone to squelch our hard-earned hope that a new era is upon us — or at least that the geography-deficient divazilla Sarah Palin may yet take that long, much-deserved hiatus from our television screens. At least she’s wearing leather this time around; that is change we can believe in. It’s after the jump. More »
South Park Presents: ‘Indiana Jones and the Pinball-Machine Rape of Doom’
6:00AM STV | We knew George Lucas had a taste for franchise-rape, but our relatively proscribed imaginations prevented us from conjuring the horror of Lucas and accomplice Steven Spielberg forcibly tag-teaming Indiana Jones not once, not twice, but three times in 30 minutes. But that’s what South Park is for, we guess, where the mandate to get tanked on Crystal Head Vodka™ and crossbreed cinema’s most notorious rape scenes with Indy’s own violation was thriving nicely in last night’s episode. We’ve culled one-third of the NSFW nightmare for your viewing pleasure after the jump; expect the filmmakers’ “He was asking for it” defence to arrive here later in the day. [Comedy Central] More »
Isaac Hayes Makes Two, And We Can’t Seem To Dig It
12:41AM Seth | As if the surprise death of Bernie Mac wasn’t showbiz tragedy enough, before the weekend was through we’d also be robbed of music legend Isaac Hayes. What can we say about the wocka-chicka- wocka-chicka-popularizer that hasn’t already been said? More »
When Kenny Met Taarna
11:12AM Seth | Yesterday, we promised you a brainmeltingly awesome new thing, and dare we say, you got it. We only wished the entire episode could have existed inside the cat-pee-induced, hallucinatory world of Heavy South Metal Park [South Park] HuffPo’s Allison Hope Weiner, who’s dutifully provided us with every juicy tidbit to emerge from the Pellicano trial thusfar, may be subpoenaed by the defence. That could transform her into the Hollywood Wiretapping Trial of the Century’s own Judith Miller, Patron Saint of Source Protection. [THR ESQ.] Will Paul Giamatti’s next role as a U.S politician require him to wipe his arse with the historical document John Adams helped create? [Vulture] As Kate Bosworth giggled with Paul Shaffer, UTA wept. [DHD] If you live in the Hills, a blog called The Daily Coyote isn’t something you’d likely need or want. For everyone else: Look! Coyotes! Daily! [The Daily Coyote] More »
Next Up On Port-au-Prince Action News: Your Weather
10:57AM Seth | We take three things from this video: One, Haitian Weather Guy is about the lowest-stress vocation on the planet. Two, some videos really do improve upon subsequent viewings. And three, if there’s a Meaning of Life, Arthur knows it. [YouTube] K-Fed’s loving father, forgiving ex, and capable role-model game is ridiculous. [In Touch] Tonight, two of our very favourite animated things—South Park and Canadian sci-fi fleshcore classic Heavy Metal—are to be combined into one, brainmeltingly awesome new thing. (One can only hope.) [Vulture] Cajun chef Paul Prudhomme was grazed by a bullet on a Louisiana golf course today, upon which he instantly started hemorrhaging gravy. [USA Today] The only bad thing about the gigantic piano house is the 40-foot-tall Liberace who tramples the village to come play it every full moon. [Weird Asia News via Thighmaster] More »
‘South Park’ Enacts The Worst Britney Case Scenario
2:34AM Seth | After a touching season premiere in which Cartman learns he’s been accidentally infected with HIV, South Park decided to lighten things up in the second episode of their 12th season by having Britney Spears put a shotgun in her mouth and blow off 70% of her head. (Don’t worry–she lives!) More »
