Earlier this month, Tyler Perry was crowned entertainment’s highest paid man . Upon hearing this news on last night’s Conan , a staffer decided to get a piece of that $130 million bufferoony paycheck with his own mouthy, Madea-style character, Grandma Deondra. Check out the video and stick around for more Buzz Break.
Somewhere toward the end of The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) , Tom Six’s follow-up to the notorious 2010 dare of a horror film The Human Centipede (First Sequence) — after the sequel’s new villain had performed makeshift “surgery” on his twelve victims but before the film’s gruesome, stomach-churning denouement — the woman sitting next to me fell ill and fainted. She came to minutes later, she told me as we waited for medics, only to be greeted by a wall of disorienting, horrifying sounds, a cacophony of screams and even worse noises, accompanied by some of the vilest images ever captured on film. Needless to say, it was agony to live through. But, she said with a brave smile, it reminded her that she was human after all.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: I enjoyed the Statham/De Niro/Owen assassin intrigue Killer Elite — more than most, it appears . But hoo boy , this new red-band opening-day trailer is misguided. At least two scenes here aren’t even in the movie, and the gratuitous female nudity is like… what ? Anyway, I’m only posting it as a public service advisory letting you know this movie is better than this puerile, hard-rawkin’, NSFW garbage. Desperate marketing gone wrong — and your complete Friday Buzz Break — after the jump.

The slimmed-down co-star of (and, if there’s any justice to be found in the awards cosmos, eventual Oscar nominee for) Moneyball climbed the mound in Oakland on Sunday to throw out the first pitch prior to the A’s-Tigers game. And the crowd… goes… wild! Seriously, these guys really dig Hill; see for yourself in the video after the jump, and stick around for more in today’s Buzz Break.
Ryan Gosling may be a real street fight-stopping hero in man capris and the vulnerable getaway driver next door in this week’s Drive , but a keen-eyed Movieline reader in Toronto sent in evidence of the one thing hotter than the Goss. No, not those Scarlett Johansson pics. Something even sweeter! Feast your eyes upon this discovery and stay for more in today’s Buzz Break!
“It’s changed how I see the world and how I interact on a daily basis. It’s changed the parent I am. It’s changed the friend I am. It’s changed the kind of work that I really want to do. It’s become the lens through which I see life — that it’s all impermanent.” On the eve of her turn as Marilyn Monroe in My Week with Marilyn , Michelle Williams opened up to Vogue even more about her career, family, and personal life. Including: “I’m not lonely, and I think that has a lot to do with what’s on my bedside table rather than what’s in my bed.” [ Vogue ]
Try as she might up in Toronto, Madonna just can’t shake the stink of Hydrangea-Gate. Despite a quasi mea culpa for her insensitivity to the flowers and their provider, a new video from the singer-filmmaker suggests that not only is she not remorseful, but she will also not hesitate to kill again. “It’s a free country!” she “roars” in the silent short scored to the Godfather II theme. “So f**k you I like roses!!” Classy. Click ahead for the video and more Buzz Break.
I’ll never forget Sean Stone as the young, freckle-faced Jim Morrison through whom the soul of the bloody dead roadside Indian passed in his father Oliver Stone’s epic The Doors . But now Stone fils is all grown up and making sketchily conceived films of his own for his dad to appear in. Click through to check out the triple Oscar-winner’s cameo in the trailer for Stone’s narrative feature debut Graystone (no pun intended… I think?), and stick around for more Buzz Break.
