Arrested Development Quotes: Best of the Best!

After seven long years, Arrested Development is set to return. Netflix announced earlier this week that Season 4 will premiere May 26 at 12:01 a.m. The time is significant because all 15 episodes will be available at once! Better get your sleep now. Or even better … relive some of the best Arrested Development quotes from the first three seasons (2003-2006) on Fox below! If you aren’t familiar with the Bluths, go buy Seasons 1-3 now. Seriously, these Arrested Development quotes are hilarious:     Tobias: [on painting himself to join the Blue Man Group] I’m afraid I just blue myself!     Michael: Okay, you know what? Go buy yourself a tape recorder, and just record yourself for a whole day. I think you’re going to be surprised at some of your phrasing.     Michael: Can’t a guy call his mother pretty without it seeming strange?     Buster: Amen. And how about that little piece of tail on her? Cute!     Michael: I’ve opened a door here that I regret.     Tobias: As you may or may not know, Lindsay and I have hit a bit of a rough patch.     Michael: Really? When did that start?     Tobias: Well, I don’t want to blame it all on 9/11, but it certainly didn’t help.     George Michael: And yeah, she was really looking forward to seeing me in my Uncle Sam outfit in the get-out-to-vote assembly tomorrow.     Maeby: Wasn’t that supposed to be before the election?     George Michael: Yeah, they had to postpone it when that foreign exchange student parked too close to the gym.     Buster/Franklin: I don’t want no part of yo’ tight-ass country club, ya freak bitch!     Tobias: Okay, Lindsay, are you forgetting that I was a professional twice over: an analyst and a therapist, the world’s first “analrapist.”     Kitty: Say goodbye to these, because it’s the last time!     Lucille: Did that Mexican girlfriend of yours kick you out?     G.O.B.: She’s not that Mexican, Mom, she’s my Mexican. And she’s Colombian or something. Anyway, it’s over.     Lindsay: I care deeply for nature.     Michael: You’re wearing ostrich-skin boots.     Lindsay: Well, I don’t care about ostriches.     Michael: [on Steve Holt] Go talk to him. You’re his father.     G.O.B.: Well, according to him …     Michael: And a DNA test.     G.O.B.: I hear the jury’s still out on science.     G.O.B., on being a pageant judge: You can’t believe what it does for your sex life.     Michael: I don’t want to hear it.     George Sr.: All right, now look, just because a woman gets pregnant doesn’t mean you have to marry her. Too many lives have been ruined because some cheap waitress at a HoJo said she used an IUD.     Maeby: Do you guys know where I can get one of those gold necklaces with a “T” on it?     Michael: That’s a cross.     Maeby: Across from where?     Michael: Mom, after all these years, God’s not going to take a call from you. Arrested Development Quotes: The Top 200         Lucille: I don’t criticize you! And if you’re worried about criticism, sometimes a diet is the best defense.     Michael: Why are you squeezing me with your body?     Lucille: It’s a hug, Michael. I’m hugging you.     Tobias: Well, Michael, you really are quite the Cupid, aren’t you? I tell you, you can sink your arrow into my buttocks any time.     Lindsay: Did you enjoy your meal, Mom? You drank it fast enough.     Lucille: Not as much as you enjoyed yours. You want your belt to buckle, not your chair.     Lucille: What are you doing home?     Buster: Army had half a day.     G.O.B., on Lucille getting her driver’s license “renewed”: She didn’t. I dummied her up a new one. Not my best work, though. She wanted to look 48. I nearly airbrushed her into oblivion. Ended up checking ‘albino’ in the form.     Lindsay, on her new outfit: I guess [Mom] wanted me to have something new. Sweet old thing.     Michael: Only two of those words describe Mom, so I know you’re lying to me.     Lucille: I don’t understand the question, and I won’t respond to it.     Lindsay: I hate the Wetlands. They’re stupid and wet, and there are bugs everywhere, and I think I maced a crane, Michael.     Lindsay: Oh, hi, Mom. I have the afternoon free.     Lucille: Really? Did nothing cancel?     Lucille: It’s not fair to Buster. He’s a nervous wreck right now. He’s going into the Army, for God’s sake.     Michael: You volunteered him.     Lucille: I knew you were going to throw that in my face.     Buster: Sister’s my new mother, Mother. And is it just me or is she looking hotter, too?     G.O.B.: Not tricks, Michael, illusions. A trick is something a whore does for money.     Lucille: Get me a vodka rocks.     Michael: Mom, it’s breakfast.     Lucille: And a piece of toast.     Buster: That’s what you do when life hands you a chance to be with someone special. You just grab that brownish area by its points and you don’t let go no matter what your mom says.     Lucille: Is this why you wanted to fight this thing? So you could run off with this great redwood of a whore?     Buster: Mom signed me up for the army, just because the fat man dared her to.     G.O.B.: I’m a failure. I can’t even fake the death of a stripper.     Lucille: I don’t have the milk of mother’s kindness in me anymore.     Michael: Yeah. That udder’s been dry for a while though, hasn’t it?     Mrs. Featherbottom: Ok, who’d like a banger in the mouth? Oh…right, I forgot; here in the states you call it ‘a sausage’ in the mouth.     G.O.B.: Franklin said some things Whitey wasn’t ready to hear.     Michael: G.O.B., weren’t you also mercilessly beaten outside of a club in Torrance for that act?     G.O.B.: He also said some things that African-American-y wasn’t ready to hear either.     Lucille: Stop playing with Mother’s rape horn. Yes, I have a rape horn, Michael, because you took away my mace.     Buster: Yeah, like anyone would want to “R” her.     Lucille: What’s Spanish for “I know you speak English?”     Tobias: Even if it means me taking a chubby, I will suck it up!     Ann “Egg” Veal: Teach me the ways of the secular flesh.     Tobias: I’m afraid I prematurely shot my wad on what was supposed to be a dry run if you will, so I’m afraid I have something of a mess on my hands.     Michael: There’s so many poorly chosen words in that sentence.     Lucille: You’ve got three days.     G.O.B.: Hey … if I can’t find a horny immigrant by then, I don’t deserve to stay here.     Michael (to G.O.B.): Get rid of the Seaward.     Lucille: I’ll leave when I’m good and ready.

American Idol Power Poll: The Super 6

Six contestants remain on American Idol Season 12. And Lazaro Arbos is somehow still one of them. With just a few weeks remaining in the competition – and ratings dwindling by the week – we present our latest Power Poll, counting down from number-six to number-one. Can you guess who is holding down last place? 6: Lazaro Arbos : We’re kind of over his nice guy shtick. As the last man standing, he just can’t hold a candle to the girls. In fact, we’re not entirely sure how he’s still here at all. 5. Amber Holcomb : Amber has an amazing voice and legs for days, but she’s not showing much in the way of personality. Just who is Amber? 4. Janelle Arthur : She’s a sweetheart with a throwback twang which definitely makes her appealing, but she’s suffering from the bad song choice plague. In the end, that’s going to cost her like it almost did last week. 3. Angie Miller : The sole wannabe rocker in the competition, she seems a little confused sometimes. She seemed at home on “Bring Me To Life” and has proven time and again, with the exception of “Shop Around,” that she’s definitely got some vocal chops to be reckoned with. 1 & 2. Candice Glover and Kree Harrison : There’s no denying that these two are the stars of American Idol season 12. While they’re goals are different musical genres, these girls can sing anything the producers throw at them. Time and again they’re professional, polished, and awesome.

Poor Thang: Clive Davis Claims Michael Jackson Sabotaged Claymation Jermaine’s Career!

Did Michael Jackson really kill his big brother’s showbiz dreams? That’s what Clive Davis is saying in his new book . Via National Enquirer reports : In new tell-all music mogul CLIVE DAVIS reveals how the King of Pop, MICHAEL JACKSON systematically plotted to destroy older brother Jermaine and other sibs’ music careers! Davis confirms the long standing rumors that Jacko was so insecure and paranoid that he had to be the only Jackson to succeed. Davis writes in new book “Soundtrack of My life” that he had signed Jermaine Jackson to his company Arista who then had several hits including: “Do What You Do” and “Tell Me I’m Not Dreaming.” Reportedly, Michael was less than pleased. Davis writes that when he hired Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds and LA Reid in the late 1980s to produce Jermaine’s fourth LP at Arista Records, Michael had had enough. MJ promptly kept Babyface busy on his own projects, luring him away from Jermaine. Clive writes: “Jermaine couldn’t believe that Michael, his close brother, would hijack his producers’ material this way.” Clive recalls Jermaine was “crying, indeed sobbing at times, so deeply hurt that his brother would do this to him.” That’s when Jermaine wrote his infamous song, “Word to the Badd,” which denounced Michael as shallow and selfish. Michael retaliated by phoning up Davis, demanding the removal of the defaming track from Jermaine’s new LP. Caught between the two feuding Jacksons, Jermaine leaked the tune anyway when Davis stalled. “I felt it would be wrong for me to tell an artist to take a song off an album,” Davis writes. “This was a family and personal matter that they would need to resolve themselves.” Michael’s longtime PR man, the late Bob Jones, also confirmed the same story in his book, revealing that Michael deliberatly destroyed the careers of Jermaine, Rebbe and LaToya but wasn’t fast enough to stop the meteoric rise of the youngest Jackson sib, Janet. SMH @ Jermaine breaking down in tears. Do you think MJ really would stoop so low? Is he responsible for Latoya, Rebbie and Jermaine’s failure to pop? AP

Michelle Rodriguez Promo Still for Fast and the Furious 6 of the Day

The Fast and the Furious 6 exists….and these are the promo pics…as far as I’m concerned that’s a joke in and of itself….. I don’t know what is more alarming…the fact that the producers are putting millions of dollars into such shit movies…or the fact that people are watching these movies making it worth their while to bother with the shit… Maybe I just don’t get the subculture of modifying cars and watching 50 year old bald dudes drive them….while lesbians change their oil…. Either way, it’s funny.

The Battle Of The Big Booties: JLo Vs. CoCo

Two of the biggest booties in Hollywood, Jennifer Lopez and CoCo Austin , were at the Parker premiere last night showing off their most famous assets. Now, I know Jennifer’s in the movie, but I’m not quite sure why CoCo was there. Maybe the producers invited her to put J-Lo on notice after she’d had her booty in hiding for so long. Whatever the reason, it worked. I can’t choose which booty I like better though, I’d have to do the quarter bouncing test to see which one is tighter. Who wants to go first? » view all 37 photos Related Articles: CoCo Austin’s Massive Cleavage Is Confusing CoCo Busts Out The Big Guns CoCo In Her Itsy Bitsy Bikini CoCo Austin’s Boobs Are Crazy Photos: WENN.com

Sean Lowe Previews The Bachelor Season 17, Early Favorites, Drama

Sean Lowe is set to debut as The Bachelor in less than a month, and he promises emotion, surprises and drama – just no second thoughts about Emily Maynard. Of course, we already know how his season supposedly ends – see The Bachelor spoilers for the long and short of it – but that’s neither here nor there. In a chat with the media today, Sean Lowe discussed the “mystery contestant” in the premiere, to Emily Maynard, cat-fighting, early favorites and more. Excerpts from his wide-ranging interview below: On early favorites this season : “There was definitely one girl in the first episode that catches my eye, and she does receive the very first rose.” “You’ll see that that first feeling and those initial sparks, they’re going to play out over several episodes, and it’s going to be an interesting relationship.” On drama among the women : “There’s going to be drama and a little cattiness. It’s almost inevitable for it to happen, but it always irritated me.” “When girls got caught up in the drama and lost focus on the reason we were all there … I just wanted them to focus on the relationship we had.” “It’s tricky, because you hear women say certain things about certain women, and I would think to myself, ‘Well, I haven’t seen that, so I’m gonna make my own judgment.'” “But then I would hear multiple women talk about that same woman, and then you start to think, Well, maybe there is something there and you have to investigate.” On the choices by the producers : “The producers did an excellent job, they truly did. I told them I wanted girls who were well suited for me.” “I got to know [the producers] really well while I was on The Bachelorette and they got a good sense of who I am, but I was blown away by the amount of wonderful women.” “I had no idea I would become so attached and emotionally invested in multiple women.” “I’d heard about that happening on past seasons from people who’d done the show, but I thought that would be so hard. But it can happen, and it did happen.” On the mystery contestant : “I think America will be surprised to see who it is. I know I was certainly shocked when she stepped out of the limo on the first night.” “I’m glad she did come the first night. I probably would’ve done the same thing [Ben Flajnik] did, so I wouldn’t infuriate the other women that had been there several weeks.” On being on The Bachelorette : “My feelings for Emily were very real, and most of the people who watched the show could definitely recognize that.” “I wouldn’t have accepted The Bachelor unless my heart was definitely mended. I realized over time she’s not the one for me, and I knew she had her doubts about me.” “The woman I spend the rest of my life with, I don’t want her to have any doubts.” On Emily and Jef Holm breaking up : “I heard about it at our final destination [on the show], but I think even before we did The Bachelor I knew she wasn’t the one for me.” “Jef’s a good guy, and I hope for happiness for her in her future.” Sean Lowe as The Bachelor: Good choice for 2013?   Yes! He’s perfect! Love Sean! No, should’ve been Arie! No, should’ve been someone new! View Poll »
