Jersey Shore Fresh-to-Death Report Card: ‘Not So Shore’

‘Not So Shore’ was seriously the name of last night’s Jersey Shore episode. I’m not so shore I can refrain from slapping someone. Nevertheless, the guidos and guidettes offered catchphrases, hookups, tranny-spotting prowess, and even a little impotence (ahem, Situation) last night, and it’s time again to decide who makes the grade.

VIDEO: Ryan Seacrest and Larry King Duet, Butcher Lady Gaga’s ‘Poker Face’

During his radio show this week, Ryan Seacrest had Larry King duet with him on Lady Gaga’s ubiquitous smash hit, “Poker Face.” Neither one of them can sing, but King gets bonus points (or demerits?) for the lascivious way he scats. Shiver. If you could read my poker face right now, you’d notice a look of outright disgust. Seriously, this is more disturbing than the trailer for Hobo with a Shotgun , and that includes a woman and baby being lit on fire. Click ahead to witness the horror.

That striking, haunting poster for Black Swan — featuring a wing-eyed, facepainted, selectively focused Natalie Portman — has been revised just in time for the long Oscar haul to come. You could expect nothing less from the micromanaging marketers at Fox Searchlight, especially after the lightning strike of Oscar hype that greeted Black Swan ‘s premiere this week in Venice.

VIDEO: Sean Penn Glowers, Threatens Zach Galifianakis’ Twin Brother in Latest Between Two Ferns

Movieline’s favorite botanical web series , Zach Galifianakis’ Between Two Ferns , has issued a new episode that is unfortunately without its hirsute mischief maker doing the MC’ ing. Instead it’s Zach’s twin brother, “Seth,” who gets to interview a very sullen Sean Penn and ask the Oscar winner about famous actors like Ryan Reynolds and “Jack Nicklaus.” It’s all perfectly amusing — one wonders how it’s possible for Penn to stay in irritable character for three minutes! — and brought to you by Speed Stick. Of course. Click ahead to watch the funny.
