Which means he gets up close and personal (and hot and heavy and between the sheets) with pretty much every woman in sight, as seen in a new batch of pics that have surfaced online.
‘We were a big ‘Smurfs’ household. We had the glasses and the sheets and the whole thing,’ ‘Glee’ star Jayma Mays admits. By Jocelyn Vena “The Smurfs” Photo: Sony Pictures “The Smurfs” took “Cowboys and Aliens” for a ride at the box office over the weekend when the two blockbusters tied for the top spot. And the movie’s cast recently chatted with MTV News and recalled some of their favorite memories from the vintage “Smurfs” cartoon. “We were a big ‘Smurfs’ household,” “Glee” star Jayma Mays explained. “We had the glasses and the sheets and the whole thing. We didn’t have the figurines that some people collect, but my mom loved ‘The Smurfs,’ so she would make me watch.” Co-star Hank Azaria also has a backstory with the lovable cartoon. “I was highly familiar with Gargamel and ‘The Smurfs,’ being an animation fan, even though I was technically too old for ‘Smurfs,’ ” he recalled. “When they came to America, I watched them anyway ’cause I’m immature,” he joked. “I always wanted to improve on Gargamel,” he continued. “I always felt he was too one- note and borderline annoying and wanted to make him funny and more amusing and a little scarier in other moments. I ended up using a voice very similar to the cartoon, but I thought he could be more three-dimensional and sarcastic and laid-back, and mostly I was curious as to why he was married to a cat.” Neil Patrick Harris said he enjoyed the cartoon back in the day, and recalled his favorite moments shooting the 3-D, part CGI/part live action flick. “Hank’s great. My favorite elements of Hank being in the movie was that since we didn’t really have scenes together, it was my days off,” he jokingly explained. “So when it was Hank-heavy scenes, [Jayma] and I were like, ‘Woohoo!’ “For me, I really liked filming around New York,” he continued. “I’m mostly a West Coast guy, and I’ve always been a fan of the city and I think the film is a wonderful homage and love letter of New York. So to be able to film in New York … you don’t get that opportunity.” Check out everything we’ve got on “The Smurfs.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
Yesterday, tragedy struck the production of Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn in the form of leaked stills depicting Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) consummating their relationship between the sheets. Movieline wondered whether the raciness of the images might actually win the franchise more fans but it appears the production team isn’t willing to take that risk.
At this moment in history this teacher did this? And in Atlanta? Our kids are doomed. ATLANTA (AP) — A North Georgia teacher is on administrative leave and could lose her job after she allowed four students to don mock Ku Klux Klan outfits for a final project in a high school class Thursday, administrators said. The sight of people in Klan-like outfits upset some black students at the school and led at least one parent to complain. Catherine Ariemma, who teaches the advanced placement course combining U.S. history with film education, could face punishment ranging from suspension to termination, Lumpkin County School Superintendent Dewey Moye said Monday. Ariemma has spent nearly six years teaching in the rural county about 75 miles north of Atlanta. She told The Associated Press Monday that students were covering an important and sensitive topic – but one that she might handle differently in the future. “It was poor judgment on my part in allowing them to film at school,” Ariemma said. “… That was a hard lesson learned.” The incident happened at Lumpkin County High School. Ariemma said her students spend the year viewing films and later create their own films to watch in class. She said the students brainstorm and pick topics to cover. This particular class decided to trace the history of racism in America. She said the class has 15 students of multiple races, but no blacks. A group of five students took on the subject, which included covering the history of the notorious white supremacist group which had large chapters in Stone Mountain, Ga. and Tuscaloosa, Ala. One student filmed and did not wear sheets, she said. “The kids brought the sheets in, they had SpongeBob party hats underneath to make it shaped like a cone,” Ariemma said. “They cut out the eyes so they could see.” Ariemma said she led the students through a cafeteria to another location where they shot the scene. Later, she said another teacher approached her. “That's when I heard there were a couple of students who were upset,” she said. Ariemma said she wasn't able to find those students to explain the project to them. Monday, student Cody Rider told Atlanta's WSB-TV that his cousin was among those who saw the group in white sheets and was frightened. “I got mad and stood up and I tried to go handle it,” he told the TV station. Moye said a black parent went to the school to complain that evening. Ariemma has no history of missteps at the school, Moye said, but administrators of the roughly 90 percent white school system are taking the incident seriously. “This stuff happened in history. Do you ignore it? No,” he said. “But you certainly don't walk the hallway in the garb.” Ariemma says administrators will review the film and decide if it will be shown in the classroom. She said the students who wore the sheets were shaken when they realized hat other students were upset. added by: onemalefla
