‘Smurfs’ Cast Recall Watching Original Cartoon

‘We were a big ‘Smurfs’ household. We had the glasses and the sheets and the whole thing,’ ‘Glee’ star Jayma Mays admits. By Jocelyn Vena “The Smurfs” Photo: Sony Pictures “The Smurfs” took “Cowboys and Aliens” for a ride at the box office over the weekend when the two blockbusters tied for the top spot. And the movie’s cast recently chatted with MTV News and recalled some of their favorite memories from the vintage “Smurfs” cartoon. “We were a big ‘Smurfs’ household,” “Glee” star Jayma Mays explained. “We had the glasses and the sheets and the whole thing. We didn’t have the figurines that some people collect, but my mom loved ‘The Smurfs,’ so she would make me watch.” Co-star Hank Azaria also has a backstory with the lovable cartoon. “I was highly familiar with Gargamel and ‘The Smurfs,’ being an animation fan, even though I was technically too old for ‘Smurfs,’ ” he recalled. “When they came to America, I watched them anyway ’cause I’m immature,” he joked. “I always wanted to improve on Gargamel,” he continued. “I always felt he was too one- note and borderline annoying and wanted to make him funny and more amusing and a little scarier in other moments. I ended up using a voice very similar to the cartoon, but I thought he could be more three-dimensional and sarcastic and laid-back, and mostly I was curious as to why he was married to a cat.” Neil Patrick Harris said he enjoyed the cartoon back in the day, and recalled his favorite moments shooting the 3-D, part CGI/part live action flick. “Hank’s great. My favorite elements of Hank being in the movie was that since we didn’t really have scenes together, it was my days off,” he jokingly explained. “So when it was Hank-heavy scenes, [Jayma] and I were like, ‘Woohoo!’ “For me, I really liked filming around New York,” he continued. “I’m mostly a West Coast guy, and I’ve always been a fan of the city and I think the film is a wonderful homage and love letter of New York. So to be able to film in New York … you don’t get that opportunity.” Check out everything we’ve got on “The Smurfs.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

Crystal Harris to Hugh Hefner: Sorry!

During an appearance on Howard Stern’s radio show this week, Crystal Harris said she wasn’t attracted to Hugh Hefner, she never saw him naked and they only had sex once, with it lasting for like “two seconds.” Now, the busty blonde has something to tell her former fiance: My bad! “The Stern interview scared me, he’s harsh,” Harris Tweeted last night. “I was unprepared and blurted out things I shouldn’t have said, I’m sorry.” Hmmm… we’ve all seen the interview , and Harris wasn’t exactly berated inside a police interrogation room. What did she expect to discuss with Stern, America’s debt ceiling debate? Hefner has taken a broad, reasonable approach to the incident, saying this week that “Crystal shouldn’t have been booked on the show at this sensitive time.” He’s right. It’s almost as if she cares more about attention than doing the right thing. [Photo: WENN.com]

Quote Of The Day: MSNBC Contributor Says “Corporate America Is Raping Minorities”

All we can say is PREACH! Writer and MSNBC contributor has drawn some criticism for her outspoken criticism of Washington politics as usual and crooked azz Corporate America during an interview Wednesday. Taylor was asked about the catastrophic effect of the recession on minorities and she went IN on the folks she feels are responsible: “Catastrophic is right, you know. If you look at African-american and Hispanic households, fully a third of them report zero wealth. Not even a dollar in positive wealth. A lot of that wealth was tied up in the homes that they spent more than 75% of their income either buying or maintaining, and so when those homes were taken away, the wealth went with it. “If you put on top of that affordable health care and access to health insurance, then, you know, most of the bankruptcies in this country, especially from black and brown people, are driven because of health care costs, and so when you ask yourself what has happened to black and brown Americans, I can tell you what happened to them. “Corporate America happened to them. People who are, you know, literally raping these people over medical costs, exorbitant medical costs and then to turn around and swipe the homes that they worked their lives to build, you know, over some subprime lending issues. So I think that we ought to re-examine our priorities as a country and re-examine how to go forward. I don’t think that’s the America we’re banking on, the America we all believe in.” Sounds about right to us. You can watch the interview below:

Nephew Tommy: 5 People Who Need Their A** Whooped!

Read more here:

Thomas “Nephew Tommy” Miles is more than a co-host on Steve Harvey’s morning radio show. He is an actor, writer and producer. Nephew Tommy’s biggest claim to fame is his hilarious stand-up routine. One of his more timeless bits centers around the Nephew Tommy “a** whooping factory.” Tommy spoke to The Urban Daily to let us know who needs their a** whooped not now, but right now. Nephew Tommy is running a contest giveaway through his Twitter ( @NephewTommy ). Let him know who you think needs to take a trip to his “a** whooping factor”y to enter a chance to win. 1. Cindy Anthony “What’s the name of the little baby that just died? Casey Anthony’s daughter. The grandmother needs her ass whooped. She knew what was going on.  Cindy Anthony got on the internet trying to find some damn Chloroform. What the hell was she looking for Chloroform for? Then they got away with it.” 2. OJ Simpson “OJ needs his ass whooped all the time! See, what you can’t do is kill two white people in a driveway, get away with it, and turn around and write a book about how your ass would’ve done it. That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. He ain’t never been black no how!” 3. George Bush “George Bush needs his ass whooped right now! I don’t care if it’s 2090, George Bush needs one because of everything he put America through. He done sat back and acted like he didn’t do any of that mess. He and his daddy got us in this in the first place. We know ya’ll were in cahoots with the oil people across seas. Don’t ever think bush didn’t sit down and have dinner with Osama ! They are friends and Bush has been to his cave.” 4. Republican Party “The entire Republican Party needs a whopping because they know what’s right and what needs to be done in this country. But it’s a black man who’s trying to make it right. That is the main reason Republicans are going against it. None of the Republicans want to step out on their own and say, “Hey, this is wrong. We should be doing it like this. Obama is absolutely right.” They can’t step out like that because if they do, they are on their own. When you step out on your own in politics, you sink and fall. Those who oppose Obama’s ideas because he’s black need one and those who won’t step up and tell the others they’re wrong need to get one too!” 5. Eddie Long “I ain’t even got to tell you Eddie Long needs his ass whooped! He needs to be whooped on three, four, five different occasions. First off, those muscle shirts. There ain’t a preacher yet I’ve seen in the pulpit preaching in a muscle shirt. Then, he has his wig cocked to the side. That’s another sign he needs his ass whooped. All of these boys came forward and accused him of doing nasty things to them and we decided we weren’t going to be judgmental. Eddie Long settled out of court for 20 something million dollars. Negro, what?! 20 something million sounds like the damn truth to me!” Related Posts: Chris Brown & Terrence J Joins Cast Of Steve Harvey’s “Think Like A Man” Movie Bishop Eddie Long Receives Stripper-Style Stack Of Cash During Sermon [VIDEO] 5 Rappers That Could’ve Used Casey Anthony’ s Lawyer

Vanessa Minnillo’s Honeymoon is Over of the Day

I love big cleavage…especially on a newlywed coming home from her honeymoon, cuz I know how chicks are and when a dude locks into them with marriage, it’s pretty obvious they’ve spent that last week or two with a dick inside them…especially when it is slutty Minnillo, or as I like to call her, the new Jessica Simpson, who was taking it from behind in the Mexico Hot Tub long before Nick Fag Lachey ever prompsed… I’m thinking that’s why she’s showing off so much tit, it’s kinda like when girls are about to get their period, all fertile and ready to make babies, if she hasn’t already got one growing inside her, which would obviously explain the whole wedding thing in the first place…. And who cares, pregnant, married, jacked up on estrogen or not….it’s fucking hot. Look at that glow of a bitch who just got what she want and let her pussy take a beatin for it… Enjoy…..cuz I know I am…

Is This a Taylor Momsen Vagina Shot of the Day

Taylor Momsen’s celebrating her 18th birthday today…making the top picture fully legal if it was shot today…but the chances of it being shot today are slim to none….so I’m not gonna risk it…cuz you never know how uptight they are about this underage vagina shit…even if it is hardly pornographic and even if Momsen wants all the attention…otherwise pics like this wouldn’t happen…. This also means that she will quickly become irrelevant cuz America likes Jail Bait not barely legal chicks…true story…I think comes from the oppression of your nation with laws that a bitch must be 18 cuz for the longest time 14 was legal here and the last thing you’d ever want to bed is a 14 year old…but it takes being allowed to to really grasp that… This might as well be an RIP Motherfucker post…cuz unless she’s got a sex tape in the works…her flashing antics are too high school and immature for your perversion…..see it worked when she was 17…but she’s gonna have to step up her game….fast…. Either way, her birthday barely even made the news…maybe cuz she already doesn’t matter… To See the Vagina Picture that I’m Not Risking my Clean Criminal Record to Post FOLLOW THIS LINK

Captain America’s Opening Weekend Wasn’t Bigger Than Thor

Not unexpected , but slightly disappointing nonetheless: according to final box office numbers released on Monday, Captain America: First Avenger did not have the biggest opening weekend of any superhero film released in 2011. That title still belongs to Thor — the Norse god earned almost $700,000 more than Captain America did during his initial frame. On the bright side, here’s guessing plucky underdog Steve Rogers wouldn’t have it any other way. [ LAT /Company Town ]
