Watch ‘Jesse Eisenberg’ Give Advice to Teen Girls in New Funny or Die Video

Oh, man. The only way the Funny or Die video “Staying Positive with Jesse Eisenberg” could be any better is if Eisenberg himself was actually the star.

To the surprise of no one, The Hangover Part III continues to be a thing. “They want to do a Hangover III ,” Zach Galifianakis told Rolling Stone . “I’m getting fricking phone calls already.” Per the hirsute star, the third film would potentially revolve around Phil and Stu (Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms) breaking Galifianakis’ Alan out of a mental institution.

That’s one of the reasons why we love her so much. She doesn’t play by the rules and now we have a poster that puts her right back into the girl box. Disappointment is a wild understatement for what I am feeling.” [ Women and Hollywood ]
