Pot, Pubes, and Promiscuity: 6 OMG Moments Miley Cyrus Will Have in LOL

If you’re a teen singer who wants to act, how do you get people to pay attention? If you’re Justin Bieber on CSI , you kill somebody but leave behind a very incriminating trail of DNA evidence — or, if you’re Miley Cyrus in her new film LOL , you flash someone your Brazilian wax.

Scenes From An Aftermath: 9 Great Reaction Shots From Roger Sterling’s Anti-Japan Tirade

I’m sure there’s something else relatively interesting happening around the culture today, but just one more thing about John Slattery’s performance in last night’s episode of Mad Men . Sure, his Roger Sterling confused us with arcane references and alienated us with virulent, WWII -fueled hatred of the Japanese — with whom he refused to work on a Honda account and whom he insulted with all the grace and class of scorched earth. We laughed, we cried, we mostly gaped –and so did everyone in the show. After the jump, a cross-section of mortification.

Piranha 3D’s Newest Casualty: Academy Award Jokes

Last week the internet collectively guffawed at the Piranha 3D For Your Consideration ad over at Funny or Die, but was the video’s torrent of Academy Award bashing too much for Harvey Weinstein? That’s the postulation made by Vulture , which notes that the offending video was cut from nearly four minutes to two-and-a-half and that a majority of the cuts were Oscar-related. For their part, Funny or Die says the video was always intended to be shorter. Will this hurt Piranha 3D ‘s chances at winning ” Best Penis Being Gobbled and Spit Out in 3D “?

Who on Earth is Mad Men’s Mysterious Dr. Lyle Evans?

It was the namedropping heard ’round the Internet on Sunday night: Lost in the dizzying fury of his (first) anti-Japan tirade, Roger Sterling responded to the reminder that WWII was over with the bellowing rejoinder: “Why don’t we just bring Dr. Lyle Evans in here?” That suggestion didn’t make Bert Cooper very happy, baffled Pete, Don and Joanb, and sent a number of viewers straight to Google afterward wondering: “Who the hell is Dr. Lyle Evans, and why does he have these guys so upset?” Finally, it appears the Internet has revealed an answer.

X-Men: First Class To Be Set In The ’60s And Other Mutant Bombshells

Bryan Singer, director of the two good X-Men movies and producer of the upcoming X-Men: First Class , bravely ventured into Harry Knowles’ clammy nerd thunderdome yesterday and spilled a major amount of beans on the new mutant film. Suffice it to say, it’s not just the casting of January Jones that’s giving First Class a Mad Men -vibe.

Brian Grazer Shows Up as Random Old Man in Age-Advancement Ad

An alert reader today sent over a Web ad for something called MakeMeOld.com , whose awesome business model entails customers spending up to $20 per month for the privilege of seeing pictures of yourself looking horribly aged by crappy software. Tell your friends, LOLZ, etc. Except there’s no software in the advertised example — unless you count Brian Grazer’s expropriated mug as software.

Trolls Retaliate After Rogue Critic Ruins Vampires Suck’s Precious 0% Approval Rating

RIP film culture, c. 1891 – 2010. It has come to this: Saddened and aggrieved by one critic’s approval of the once-unanimously loathed parody flick Vampires Suck , a troll militia has descended with their machetes and asthma inhalers to express its outrage. They are a fearsome, vengeful lot, and admittedly quite amusing once you get past the whole wrong-side-of-history thing. Taste the bile after the jump.
