Vincent Kartheiser’s Brave Anti-Toilet Stance

God bless Mad Men star Vincent Kartheiser, who, in all his quotability , must be making a run to be perceived by journalists as the next Megan Fox . His latest press revelation? “Like, I don’t have a toilet at the moment,” he tells the Guardian . “My house is just a wooden box. I mean I am planning to get a toilet at some point. But for now I have to go to the neighbours. I threw it all out.” [ Guardian via HuffPo ]

Conan O’Brien Gives NBC a Drive-By

File this under irony. Conan O’B rien’s “Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television” Tour made a stop last night at the Gibson Ampitheatre in Universal City, CA, a mere stone’s throw away from his former Tonight Show studios on the NBC lot. Joked Coco: “If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of bad ideas being greenlit.” Well, except for Bitch Hunter [ Variety/On the Air]

The Last Airbender Trailer: M. Night Shyamalan Raids His Netflix Queue

After the nearly career-killing disaster that was The Happening , M. Night Shyamalan could have tried yet again to recapture the faux-Hitchcock weirdness of The Sixth Sense , or he could have blown things up to start over. Well, it looks like someone went out and got himself a large quantity of dynamite. And a bunch of DVD s. Say hello to M. Night Shyamalan v.2 in the trailer for The Last Airbender …

The Losers Director Sylvain White on Race, Remakes and Video Games

The success of Stomp the Yard in 2007 might have heralded several things, but few would have predicted that its director, Sylvain White, would suddenly become a familiar name to the fanboy community. Then again, White is a major fanboy himself, and he’s used his heat to attach himself to a number of cult properties, including an adaptation of the Frank Miller graphic novel Ronin and a film version of the classic video game franchise Castlevania (which he’s since departed). The release today of White’s The Losers (adapted from a DC Comics comic book series) may be the first example of his fannish tendencies made manifest, but if he has his way, it’ll hardly be the last. I talked to White today about how he weathers the scrutiny of superfans, and what he’s got in mind for Ronin , his remake of the French film Le Magnifique , and several other properties.

Ryan Murphy, We’ve Found Kurt’s Boyfriend on Glee

Glee creator Ryan Murphy has made a point of announcing how anybody can audition for one of three roles being added to the show for next fall — anybody, that is, except for Ugly Betty star Mark Indelicato. Since one of the new characters is a boyfriend for the flamboyant Kurt, we humbly suggest that Murphy suspend his required age range for the role and give the out-of-work Indelicato (who play the equally fabulous Justin on Betty ) a chance to make this gay pairing almost too glittery for broadcast television.

Real Housewives of NYC Reality Check: Jill Zarin Caught in a Lie

Last week on the Housewives of New York City , Jill insulted anyone who came within a five-mile radius of her and Bethenny found out that she was pregnant. But when Bethenny returned for last night’s episode, she was magically engaged, leaving viewers to shout angrily at the screen, “What kind of reality fiance does not propose on camera?” Meanwhile, Kelly burnt pancakes in the Hamptons, Alex did something of no interest to viewers, Sonja tried to provoke a sexual awakening within LuAnn and Jill cleaned up after her dog relieved itself in the foyer. Yes, those parts made up the sum total of last night’s episode, “Let’s See That Ring.” Join Movieline in wading through the wreckage and finds the truest and fakest moments.

Iron Man Poses Nude for Leonardo DiCaprio, and Other Video Mashups

I saw Iron Man 2 last night, and while my reaction to the film is still embargoed, I can at least say that I’m bummed that the cutest scene from the first trailer (the one where Gwyneth Paltrow kisses the Iron Man helmet) is nowhere to be found in the finished product. YouTube user “reubenpac” has provided some sort of restitution for me today, going so far as to insert Iron Man into classic movie scenes he was never supposed to appear in anyway.

In Break from Tradition, Woody Allen Actually Announces New Film’s Title and Plot

Woody Allen is hardly in the business of making tightly guarded fanboy tentpoles or highly anticipated sequels, but by the veil of secrecy he hangs over each project, you’d never know it. Cast lists, plots and titles are often scarce on his movies until close to the release date (Anthony Hopkins didn’t even know the title of the film he just made with Allen until a few weeks ago), but apparently, Allen has something new up his sleeve for the Owen Wilson/Rachel McAdams film he’s about to shoot: total candor.

5 Stars Who Should Follow Bette Midler’s Lead to The Marriage Ref

It’s become clear that The Marriage Ref holds the ominous power to book whoever it wants. Don’t be surprised if President Obama soon moderates a Wichita couple’s squabble about whether it’s OK to enjoy sex and a steak dinner at the same time. Now that Jerry Seinfeld has further proven himself as a conduit to the biggest stars on Earth by securing Bette Midler , it’s time for the public, with its stingy amounts of DVR Season Passes available, to suggest the celebrities that would behoove it to tune in.
