Jonah Hill is Serious About His 21 Jump Street Reboot

Let’s hear it for Jonah Hill! The newly thin comedy star has taken to his official Twitter account like a duck to water — or like an impostor to Twitter , as the case may sometimes be — offering fans a peek behind the curtain at the making of 21 Jump Street . On Tuesday’s docket: The firing range. “Let’s shoot some bad guys, motherf***er!” Hill wrote . Click ahead to see the slightly NSFW picture of Hill, post-bad guys-shooting. (This is assuming that flipping someone the bird is not suitable for your office.)

GALLERY: The Fighter, and the Best and Worst of Mark Wahlberg

While his castmates Amy Adams, Christian Bale, and Melissa Leo got Oscar nominations for their roles in The Fighter (out this week in a Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack from Paramount Home Entertainment) — with the latter two winning the trophy — Mark Wahlberg’s performance went unheralded. (He did, however, share in the film’s Best Picture nod as one of its producers.) But given the larger-than-life quality that Bale and Leo, in particular, brought to their roles, it seemed like an intentional call on the part of Wahlberg and director David O. Russell to let Wahlberg’s on-screen personality recede a bit so the spotlight could shine elsewhere. Still, he’s just fine in the film, and it inspired me to think of the sublime (and the ridiculous) turns he’s had elsewhere — and no, we’re not counting The Marky Mark Workout in either category.

Dead Birds, Dead Fish: Something Totally Crazy is Happening in Arkansas Right Now

It might be a good time to stock up on canned goods, friends. Hours before the ball dropped on New Year’s Eve, residents of Beebe, Arkansas were shocked when more than 2,000 dead birds fell from the sky . “It was horrible,” said Beebe resident Melissa Weatherly , obviously. “You could not even get down the road without running over hundreds. It was that bad.” Though maybe not as bad as finding 100,000 dead fish washed ashore just 125 miles away.
