NFL Offensive Lineman Offended By True Blood ‘Barrage of Homosexuality’

True Blood has been teasing Sunday’s gay vampire love scene for weeks, but Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Todd Herremans was not a fan of the buildup. “Caught up on Trueblood,” he tweeted yesterday , adding, “Not a fan of how they get u hooked w/ 2 seasons then bring on barrage of homosexuality.” Needless to say, before Lafayette could roll his eyes and snap, “Hooker, please,” Herremans quickly apologized : “After speaking with Eagles management, I realize that my tweet earlier was insensitive and tasteless, and for this, I deeply apologize.” [ Deadspin ]

5 Other Films Whose Viral Marketing Should Hijack the News

Michael Cera and Jason Schwartzman took the promotional TV news segment to the next level this week, filling in a whole weathercast in Atlanta for the sake of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World . It was entertaining (watch out for the bus!), but not necessarily the best tie-in between the film’s audience and the information at hand.

But nostalgia can be as cloying as it is comforting, and there comes a time when that wardrobe of ringer T’s emblazoned with cartoon characters ought to be left behind. Especially if you’re a grown-up guy and you have any interest in, you know, actually sleeping with a girl.

Which Tough Guys Should Appear in the Sequel to The Expendables?

It’s not out until Friday, but with the way The Expendables has been tracking at the box office, the idea of a sequel doesn’t seem all that ridiculous. “We all want to do it, we are already working on it and I’m ready to go. I have done over 350 movies in my life and this is definitely the biggest,” said producer Ari Lerner without a shred of hyperbole. Assuming The Expendables lives up to its name though and treats its cast like a pack of Kleenex, which tough guys should appear in the sequel? Movieline plays casting director ahead.
