Warm weather means all kinds of things, including…fire up that grill! And oh, what delicious grilling options there are. Though barbecue overall has a pretty…
What the hell is this? When I heard there were pictures of Gigi Hadid hanging out on a yacht, I was expecting to see the SI cutie in a bikini with a few of her closest hot friends, not fully-clothed with a shirtless Bieber and his douchey entourage. So, to make up for that cruel bait-and-switch, I added a couple shots from one of Gigi’s super-cute photoshoots too. And hey, maybe this means Selena Gomez will finally take me up on that nude beach trip to get back at that teenage lesbian and make him jealous. But yeah, probably not. » view all 15 photos Photos: PacificCoastNews Continue reading →
Straight from the box I am VERY impressed with the Apex Model LE1912 19″ LED HDTV! Yes it is only 720p, however it is well-advertised as such. The LED display makes up for the 720p, on the smaller display the lack of 1080p is not noticeable. Only 24 watt power consumption. The Apex LED HDTV runs from DC power! This means it can be powered via vehicle, boat, RV or batteries such as during an emergency / power outage. Inputs: 2 HDMI 1 RCA Audio and Video 1 Coax RF (cable / satellite) 1 Component
“Considering the vivid 3D effects, we fear that viewers may reach out their hands for a touch and thus interrupt other people’s viewing. To avoid potential conflicts between viewers and out of consideration of building a harmonious ethical social environment, we’ve decided to cut off the nudity scenes.” I presume this means Piranha 3DD can count the Chinese market out.

Call it The Curse of The Change-Up : Another film that tried to fool viewers into buying tickets to see a nonexistent nude scene has bombed at the box office. Wanderlust opened this weekend to generally positive reviews and absolutely terrible box office receipts, coming in at number eight after Act of Valor , The Vow, This Means War and four other movies that had already been in theaters for a week or more, including Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance . And if you can’t beat the sequel to a Nicholas Cage movie widely considered to be the equivalent of gouging your eyes out with flaming pokers in its second weekend, then you know you’ve got problems. Some are blaming Jennifer Aniston ‘s flagging star power for the film’s weak performance. If “flagging star power” is code for “nude fake-out fatigue,” then we heartily agree. JenAn’s been playing this game with her male fans for several years now, and the next time she claims to have shot a nude scene for a movie…well…let’s just say we won’t take it with a grain of salt. We’ll take it with a truckful. You’ve burned us one too many times, Jen, and our lust has wandered away. Get the skinny on Wanderlust right here at the Mr. Skin blog!
In This Means War , Chris Pine and Tom Hardy play CIA operatives battling for the heart of Reese Witherspoon. So it’s only natural for us to pit these actors against each in real life, too, isn’t it? Study the looks of Pine and Hardy at the Hollywood premiere of this romantic comedy (try to imagine the latter without his abundance of facial hair if that helps) and answer the pressing question that Witherspoon’s character faces in the movie: Who would you rather be interrogated by privately… if you know what we mean?
‘They make life more exciting,’ Chris Pine tells MTV News at premiere. By Kara Warner Tom Hardy, Reese Witherspoon and Chris Pine in “This Means War” Photo: 20th Century Fox Woe is the woman entangled in a complicated, messy love triangle — particularly one that involves easy-on-the-eyes actors Chris Pine (“Star Trek”) and Tom Hardy (“Warrior,” “Inception”). This is the dilemma Reese Witherspoon faces as lucky lady in love with two very-eligible CIA operatives in “This Means War,” released Friday (February 17). Hopefully, you can read our sarcasm, because we don’t feel any ounce of sympathy for Witherspoon, as she had the best of both worlds working on the film. There are, of course, pitfalls to real-life love triangles, so when MTV News hit up the premiere of the new action-filled romantic comedy, we asked the stars to debate the pros and cons of being caught between two eligible romantic interests. “I guess the pros of a love triangle is that they make life more exciting,” Pine offered. Abigail Spencer, who plays Hardy’s character’s ex-wife, said, “I think there’s only cons,” adding “I think the only pro is that you might discover who you actually like by having a distraction but it forces you to make a decision.” “I can’t even answer that question,” Hardy admitted. “I’m trying to think of too many literal answers.” Chelsea Handler, meanwhile, provided a thoughtful answer to our poll: “You get to have sex with two people simultaneously, but at some point, you have to tell the truth to both people so they’re OK with it, and then you have to pick one,” she said. “It should only happen for a myopic period of time.” “I wouldn’t know from any personal experiences,” Witherspoon chimed in. “But from the movie, I think it’s very complicated dating best friends.” The film’s director, McG, admitted to speaking from personal experience: “That’s difficult to ask because I’ve only been on the losing end of any love triangle I’ve been a part of because all of my friends are super good-looking.” Check out everything we’ve got on “This Means War.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

Critics aren’t buying into the love triangle between Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine and Tom Hardy. By Kara Warner Tom Hardy and Chris Pine in “This Means War” Photo: 20th Century Fox “This Means War” has all the makings of a perfect romantic comedy/ action flick, including the very attractive and high-caliber stars Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine and Tom Hardy, the capable direction of McG, comic relief from Chelsea Handler and a script from the guys whose combined talents have brought us “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” “Sherlock Holmes,” “Role Models” and “Just Go With It.” The story revolves around two best friends and highly skilled CIA agents who fall in love with the same woman and go to war with each other in an effort to win her heart. We imagine the filmmakers set out to make a fun, if only slightly farfetched, popcorn flick, but the critical masses couldn’t seem to suspend their disbelief. The film has a 30 percent Fresh Rating on Rotten Tomatoes . Read on as we fight through the “This Means War” reviews! The Story “Having great-looking stars who have the added bonus of actually being able to act makes the noisy romp “This Means War” more tolerable that it ought to be. It’s essentially a love-triangle version of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” rendered even more bombastic in the hands of “Charlie’s Angels” director McG. (Simon Kinberg, who wrote the 2005 film that spawned Brangelina, shares script credit here with Timothy Dowling.) So you’ve got your sport utility vehicles tumbling in slow motion, your gravity-defying shootouts and your obligatory explosions galore. Naturally, the premise is the most high-concept, contrived confection: Two CIA agents (Chris Pine and Tom Hardy) who happen to be best friends also happen to fall in love with the same woman (Reese Witherspoon), who has no idea these guys know each other. They promise their shared pursuit won’t ruin their friendship, but good luck with all that.” — Christy Lemire, The Associated Press The Bromance Factor “The relationship that truly sizzles — from the sentiment to the satire — is the one between FDR (Pine) and Tuck (Hardy), with Pine and Hardy pulling off one of the better bromances in recent memory. … Hardy (“Inception”) and Pine (“Star Trek”) are the heart of the film — proving to be excellent opposing sides of the same coin. Both balance their characters’ cynicism with a certain sweetness, their chemistry fairly crackling, electrifying the screen almost any time they’re sharing it, whether taking down a bad guy or squabbling about who is more lovable (it’s a tossup). With Lauren, on the other hand, they are basically gentlemen, so not electrifying.” — Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times The Suspension of Disbelief Factor, or Lack Therof “And in the film’s opening minutes, it feels as if that might be the desired effect: It’s loaded with overblown action chestnuts like from-the-hip gunplay, people dangling from the sides of skyscrapers and a gruff commanding officer. (That would be Angela Bassett, who shows up periodically to growl at her charges in a role that might have been hilarious had anyone thought to write anything legitimately funny for her.) But a good parody takes a finesse that isn’t in the vocabulary of McG, a bargain-basement Michael Bay more concerned with cool than coherence. Instead we get utter nonsense like a video store with a database that conveniently includes customer photos for the CIA to tap into. (Related: These characters are, in 2012, going to a video store?) In another scene, FDR wrestles on the floor with a small dog that has just attacked him, as Lauren stands 5 feet away, oblivious. The Farrelly brothers should sue the producers not for stealing the scene outright from ‘There’s Something About Mary,’ but for imitating it so badly.” — Ian Buckwalter, NPR The Final Word “Part spy caper, part buddy picture, part romantic comedy, part raunchy-girl-talk sex farce, This Means War has been assembled with all the haphazardness of an amateur science experiment. The project was directed by the amped-up industry go-getter McG (Charlie’s Angels), and it’s had a long trial-and-error history. The initial script dates back a century — or at least about a decade — and the string of famous guys who didn’t take the dual lead male roles reportedly includes Bradley Cooper, Seth Rogen, Sam Worthington, and, stretching even further back, Chris Rock and Martin Lawrence. All this fiddling and fumbling shows on the screen. And yet, and yet … I confess I enjoyed everything that’s all over the place about the finished product. ‘This Means War’ may have been hammered together by brute Hollywood force, but there’s this going for it: It’s game to throw in anything that’ll keep the motor running.” — Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly Check out everything we’ve got on “This Means War.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
