How Can We Stop Eminem from Being ‘Funny’ on TV Again?

Eminem’s rapping talent is inarguable. I’ve seen him do it! You have to trust me here. He’s deft, aggressive, even poetic sometimes, but what is it about rapping that makes the 37-year-old artist feel qualified to attempt sketch comedy on television? Eminem usually does such a good job of convincing me that he doesn’t give a f*ck, but his frequent detours into TV comedy send the wrong message: that he’s actually kind of desperate to entertain, even if he feels awkward doing it. Now he’s scheduled to read off one of David Letterman’s Top 10 lists, and its preview proves to be another in a comedy career that has yet to take off. Come with me on a narrated tour of Em’s laughless TV past.

Entourage Casting Bombshell: Seth Rogen Could Have Been Turtle

Just last summer, Seth Rogen found himself in a bizarre public feud with Entourage creator Doug Ellen after an episode of the HBO series in which characters called Rogen’s “ugliness… oddly fascinating” and debated whether a man of Rogen’s looks could actually score a beauty like Katherine Heigl in real life.
