Is Kevin James the New Chris Farley?

I didn’t make the rules, girls, but it appears that Kevin James has reached a point in his career where he can look back and say, “I’m like if Chris Farley had it together!” I’m going to get out this comparison’s way and let the late SNL star and Zookeeper topliners’ careers speak for themselves.

9 Milestones in the Evolution of Kevin Spacey

In this weekend’s Horrible Bosses , Kevin Spacey plays Jason Bateman’s sadistic supervisor, a business director so despicable that he kind of deserves the extreme punishment Batemen, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day would like to inflict. How did Spacey transform himself from the guy simply credited as “Subway Thief” in Mike Nichols’ Heartburn to a two-time Oscar winner and summer blockbuster draw?

Dom Kennedy Embraced By NYC Crowd, Despite L.A. Roots

‘ From the Westside, With Love II just came out last week, so it was shocking to me to see people that knew those songs,’ MC marvels after packed show. By Steven Roberts Dom Kennedy Photo: MTV News New Yorkers are a notoriously tough crowd — ask the Knicks or Yankees. Or try suggesting your favorite pizza spot, because you’re already wrong. The city is also full of staunch music critics, from The New York Times to the Apollo Theatre’s Sandman. Hip-hop acts have a notoriously tough time getting the crowd to put their hands in the air. West Coast MC Dom Kennedy didn’t seem to have much trouble Tuesday evening, however. Kennedy headlined a packed house — more like sauna — at SOB’s in Lower Manhattan. And to many people’s surprise, Leimert Park’s very own had the crowd in the palm of his hand. Even Kennedy looked pleasantly surprised at the start of his set as the audience repeated every word to songs old and new. He said the show was a bit of a celebration for the hard work he’s put in over the past few years. “I realize that these are people that were probably listening to my music every day or every other day since these projects have come out,” Kennedy told MTV News. ” From the Westside, With Love II just came out last week, so it was shocking to me to see people that knew those songs. But the other ones, it was our time to get together and have a good time.” Kennedy said he knew he had a following in New York based on the reception he received at the listening party for his Original Dom Kennedy mixtape earlier this year, but the moment he got to the show and saw he couldn’t make his way from the green room to see any of the opening acts, he knew it would be a special night. Kennedy’s From the Westside, With Love II dropped via iTunes last week, making it his first retail release. It’s the follow-up to his From the Westside, With Love, a project Kennedy felt was really good — most critics felt the same, but he thought it wasn’t complete. He wanted Part II to show his growth. He also wanted it to show that Tuesday evening’s overwhelming reception wasn’t a fluke. “I built my projects to be the best,” Kennedy said. “Whether it’s a free project, whether my first project just came out on iTunes for $6.99, I built those projects to compete with Lil Wayne CDs, with everybody’s album. Whoever people consider the top album, whether it be selling or music-wise, I want the Dom Kennedy album to stand next to those.” What do you think of Dom’s latest mixtape?

‘Horrible Bosses’ Stars Talk ‘Swapping Spit’ With Jennifer Aniston

Aniston welcomed her co-stars ‘with an open lab coat,’ Jason Sudeikis tells MTV News. By Kara Warner, with reporting by Eric Ditzian Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis in “Horrible Bosses” Photo: Warner Bros If you haven’t heard anything about the upcoming comedy “Horrible Bosses,” there are really only two things to know about the film in order to understand its appeal: It’s rated R and stars Jason Sudeikis, Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell and Jennifer Aniston, plus several other excellent supporting roles and cameos to look out for. The movie revolves around three friends (Sudeikis, Bateman and Day) who are so fed up with their bosses (Farrell, Spacey and Aniston) that they decide to kill them. As you can see from the cast list, the guy/girl ratio is a bit skewed, so when MTV News caught up with the leading men, we asked how Aniston fit into the mix of things. Naturally, the boys took a seemingly innocent inquiry into highly inappropriate territory. “You don’t welcome her; she welcomes you,” said Day, whose character Dale is the victim of some serious sexual harassment at the hands of Aniston’s character Julia. “She’s the heavy in the room.” “Jason and I, unfortunately, we did not get to swap talent spit, as it were,” Bateman pointed out, before the three funnymen digressed into an off-topic back-and-forth about what “swapping talent spit” means and where the phrase originated. “Errol Flynn used to say that,” Sudeikis said of the legendary actor known for his onscreen swashbuckling and offscreen debauchery. “It started in the Poconos, actually,” Bateman jokingly corrected. “Flynn used to spit all over people,” Day added. “It wasn’t swapping so much as receiving.” “Charlie did all the talent with Jennifer,” Bateman said, attempting to get the group back on topic. Day revealed that Aniston did, indeed, welcome him into their scene work. “With an open lab coat,” Sudeikis added, alluding to one of the many scenes in which Day’s character finds himself in an uncomfortable scenario with Aniston’s. “And an open labia,” Bateman chimed in, which drew groans from his co-stars. “I’m not touchin’ that,” Day said. “It’s spelled the same!” Bateman said in mock protest. “This is MTV!” Sudeikis exclaimed, hinting that Bateman’s comment was over the line, even for us. “The network that brought us ‘Skins’!” Related Videos MTV Rough Cut: ‘Horrible Bosses’ ‘Horrible Bosses’ Clips
