America’s Got Talent: Glow-in-the-Dark Frat Boy Takeover

America’s Got Talent is always good for a disturbing image or two, particularly if Piers Morgan’s naked body is involved. (Haha. Don’t click that.) Last night’s second audition show was no different, as it acquainted us with the neon styling of “Fighting Gravity,” a Blue Man Group-esque mime act with an industrial-rock undercurrent. If the Pac Man-visits-a-Fun House theatrics become too much for you, calm yourself by realizing it’s just a group of frat boys who like wearing monochrome sweatsuits together.

An Ode to When Kathy Griffin Was Actually D-List

Browsing clips from Kathy Griffin’s newest Bravo stand-up special Kathy Griffin Does the Bible Belt , I kept having to remind myself the material was new. The anecdotes about an erratically behaved Sharon Stone ? The clip about cable-TV indulgence Hoarders ? It all felt like gags from five years ago, when Griffin could get away with insider-as-outsider observations without it feeling like an obligatory part of her self-appointed D-List stature. Now, on the eve of her new special and sixth season of My Life on the D-List , it becomes painfully clear what we’ve lost since Griffin’s star — and original appeal — exploded into a cycle of dishonest repetition.

The rest is here:

What’s On: The Perfection of New Directions

Are you prepared to leave Glee for the summer? Tonight’s season finale sees some big cameos, the big showdown of the year, and more scheming from that tracksuited dame with the bullhorn. I’d prefer the soundtrack include every obvious song choice: “The End,” “Last Dance,” etc. I think Mercedes has some mad Jim Morrison and Donna Summer poses in her.

8 Actors Who Haven’t Been Shortlisted for a Superhero, But Should Be

These days, it seems that every actor in Hollywood has made the shortlist for a new superhero movie — and that could be a liability for the onslaught of comic book movies to come, since casting directors are always on the hunt for the hot new up-and-comer, not the guy who got cut before his final Captain America screen test. With that in mind, then, Movieline has assembled a list of eight men who are superhero-ready, yet haven’t been named as a close contender for any past roles.

A-Team’s Rampage Jackson Actually Loves Gays, Unless They Touch His Secret Area

Let’s check in with Rampage Jackson, shall we? The Ultimate-Fighter-turned-actor ruffled a few feathers recently when, during an LA Times visit to the set of The A-Team (where Jackson is slipping into Mr. T’s jewelry to play B.A. Baracus), he said things like “Vancouver strikes me as a San Francisco-kind of place,” and “Acting is kind of gay. It makes you soft.” Now, Jackson hopes to explain himself in an extensive new blog entry where he says that he actually prefers gays to straights, because straights act so gay sometimes. Someone’s angling for a Newsweek think piece !

Eric Dane Ribs Katherine Heigl for Emmy Submission

Katherine Heigl’s self-submission for a Best Supporting Actress Emmy has her Grey’s Anatomy co-star Eric Dane confused: “For what ?” he asked E! Oh, snap. When they replied, “Um, for Grey’s Anatomy ,” he backpedaled and said, “Oh! It’s great! Fantastic! I love it! Why?” If this is Dane’s way of ribbing Heigl for not appearing in much of Grey’s this season (and hating what little she did ), he’s done a pretty good job. That said, Dane himself only has a chance of winning if the Emmys finally open the controversial “Best Naked Cavorting with Rebecca Gayheart” category. [ E! ]

The Cove Screenings Canceled in Japan as Protests Mount (Video)

After working diligently to raise money to translate The Cove into Japanese, and advocating like crazy to get it allowed into theaters in the country, the team behind the ground-breaking documentary is finding it is being met with little enthusiasm. Screenings across Japan are being canceled as pressure from protesters grow, saying that the documentary is a “betrayal of Japanese pride.” Unplugged, the distributor of the documentary in Japan, said that the two cancellations that occurred last week came about from concern over the safety of moviegoers and businesses nearby. Angry phone calls and picketers with bullhorns are proving effective at keeping t… Read the full story on TreeHugger
