| Gwyneth Paltrow Sings With Cee Lo, Covers Taylor Swift On 'SNL' Posted: 15 Jan 2011 10:54 PM PST Pee Wee Herman and Anderson Cooper turn up in a digital short about boozy debauchery.
When Cee Lo promised that he and Gwyneth Paltrow would be cranking out some musical moments when they both turned up on "Saturday Night Live," he wasn't playing around. The Lady Killer singer hit the stage twice, but he also showed off his comedic chops by popping up alongside Gwyneth in three different sketches.
The "Closet Freak" singer wasted no time getting on with the funny business, by first turning up in Paltrow's opening monologue. After the "Country Strong" star pumped up her country-music knowledge, including hits by the "lady with the hair and the big boobs," Jason Sudeikis appeared as white-haired legend Kenny Rogers for his classic duet with "the boob lady" — also known as Dolly Parton — "Islands in the Stream." After Paltrow flubbed the lyrics, Cee Lo sauntered onstage to join the duo, who all belted the lines perfectly. Although they didn't share the mic, Paltrow and Cee Lo also showed up in a sketch about a bar mitzvah with tons of A-list performers rocking Jewish-friendly versions of their hits. Cee Lo, of course, played himself, rocking a full-length fur and swapping out "Forget You" for "Hebrew." Paltrow played up her country connection by appearing as Taylor Swift and putting a Jewish twist on "You Belong With Me" with lyrics about Mel Brooks and shopping at Loehmann's. Paltrow also hooked Cee Lo up with an extra-special introduction to his first performance, appearing in a skit as a record executive grappling with how to market the Gnarls Barkley vocalist's potty-mouth single. Although, in this office, "forget" is a bad word, and Paltrow's co-workers gasp when she spews things like, "Are you forgetting kidding me?" When Cee Lo strolls in, he greets everyone with "What's up, motherforgetters?" and adds that he's "feeling good, my Nintendos." After some back-and-forth about censoring Cee Lo's hit, Paltrow gets on the phone with the FCC, which declares the former Goodie Mob MC can say "forget you" on television — which segues right into the star's first song. Backed by band of foxy musicians in clingy magenta minidresses and go-go boots, Cee Lo rocked the retro jam in front of a huge set piece swirled with Technicolor hues. Silhouettes of back-up dancers also grooved behind the star as he belted "I love you!" with abandon, looking slick in a black sequined shirt and gold chain. While Paltrow gave Cee Lo a standard "SNL" introduction for his second song, the singer souped up the look of the stage with scenes of a glittery skyline and flashy New York City streets splashed onto the set piece. With his groovy-looking band in tow, the crooner ripped through "Bright Lights, Bigger City," swapping out the gold chain for a silver one and finishing up the performance with a raspy, rock-star-esque "Ow!" Paltrow popped up in other sketches as a comely cop who prompts an awkward reaction from Jay Pharoah as Will Smith on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," a leggy Heidi Klum auditioning to be a replacement host for CNN's "Parker Spitzer" and a Spanish-speaking SportsCenter anchor who peppers her rapid-fire commentary with spot-on English pronunciations. In addition to Paltrow, another musical screen star made a special "SNL appearance: kooky personality Pee Wee Herman, played by Paul Reubens. In the skit, Andy Samberg runs into Reubens' bow-tie-rocking alter ego at a bar, and they both end up knocking back tons of shots and getting into all types of booze-powered debauchery. Pee Wee even busted out his signature jerky, pelvic thrust before trying not to vomit all over the patrons. The rowdiness doesn't stop there, as Samberg and Herman drunkenly wander in to the street and Pee Wee ends up smashing a chair on both a cop and CNN's Anderson Cooper. The duo stumble home to an intervention staged by the pair's friends, including Pee Wee's puppet pals Chairry, Pterri and Conky. After Samberg and Herman agree to get their act together, everyone, including a bandaged Cooper, celebrates their new commitment to behaving properly with — what else? — a round of shots.

| 'Green Hornet' Flies Past Friday Box-Office Competition Posted: 15 Jan 2011 02:59 AM PST Slacker superhero flick scores $11.1 million first day in theaters.
"The Green Hornet" flew into theaters with a big Friday debut. Seth Rogen's turn as California rich kid turned baddie-battling vigilante scored $11.1 million its first day in theaters. The sizable Friday haul is presumably a reassuring figure for co-writer and star Seth Rogen, who battled tons of e-hate from fans of the masked hero in the time leading up to the film's release. "It's something that [writing partner] Evan [Goldberg] would constantly have to remind me of throughout the process, in that this is kind of exactly what we thought would happen," Rogen told MTV News recently. "From the second we thought of doing a movie like this, I remember talking about it like, 'Everyone's going to think it's going to be insane and terrible and we'll just have to keep our heads down and make it, and then it'll come out and then people will slowly see that we weren't nuts and that it was actually a good idea.' " Behind "Hornet" is another funnyman vehicle, "The Dilemma," starring Kevin James and Vince Vaughn. The comedy about a guy who's forced to decide whether to inform his best buddy that his seemingly perfect wife is creeping, debuted with $6.1 million in ticket sales. The Hollywood heavyweight-packed Western "True Grit" kicked off the weekend in third place. Featuring Matt Damon, Jeff Bridges and recent Critics' Choice Movie Award-winner Hailee Steinfeld, the Coen brothers' latest epic picked up $3.2 million. Friday's figure kicks the action flick's total estimated tally to about $118 million. "The King's Speech," which features newly minted Critics' Choice-winner Colin Firth, won the fourth-place slot. The true story of a reluctant royal's game-changing wartime address nabbed $2.44 million — a number which boosts the film's total estimated gross to nearly $38 million. The dance drama "Black Swan," which features Critics' Choice Best Actress Natalie Portman, took the fifth-place spot after being slightly outpaced by "Speech." The flick rang up $2.42 million on Friday, just thousands of dollars behind the Firth vehicle. Check out everything we've got on "The Green Hornet," "The Dilemma" and "True Grit."

| Posted: 14 Jan 2011 11:00 PM PST 'Everyone is doing well,' rep tells People.
"Little Fockers" star Owen Wilson is a starting a family of his own. The actor and his girlfriend, Jade Duell, welcomed a son on Friday in Hawaii, according to UsMagazine.com. "Everyone is doing well," a rep for the "Marley and Me" actor told People. The new arrival comes just days after news broke that he and lady were expecting their first child together. Although the "How Do You Know" star has stayed mum about the pregnancy over the past few months, but an insider told Us that Wilson was looking forward to fatherhood and getting educated about becoming a dad. "[Wilson] has been doing research and learning as much as he can. He's super into it and asks a lot of questions to make sure he knows what's going on every step of the way," the source said. After "Fockers," Wilson's next film to hit theaters is the comedy "Hall Pass," which co-stars "Saturday Night Live" funnyman Jason Sudeikis and is slated to appear on screens on February 25. He also reprises his voice-acting role as Lightning McQueen in "Cars 2," which will arrive in theaters on June 24. Wilson will also lend his voice-acting skills to the upcoming animated flick "Turkeys" alongside his brother, Luke. Wilson is also set to team up with "Fockers" co-star Ben Stiller for "Zoolander 2," a sequel to their 2001 fashion-world spoof. Wilson outlined the plight of his and Stiller's aging catwalk characters to MTV News during a sit-down in December. "We start off with them in a pretty bad place," he said. "They're about to ring 40's bell. They have to claw their way back into the fashion industry in some way or another." Share your congratulations to the family in the comments! Related Photos |
| Jonah Hill Says '21 Jump Street' To Shoot In April Posted: 15 Jan 2011 12:55 AM PST 'We're really excited,' funnyman tells MTV News of filming the project.
After spending roughly two years in development purgatory, the wheels are finally turning on Jonah Hill's big-screen take on the '80s TV hit "21 Jump Street," and the funnyman couldn't be more amped.
"The ball's very slowly rolling," Hill laughed to MTV News on the Critics' Choice Movie Awards red carpet on Friday night. "We're really excited." The "Superbad" star, who penned the script, also gave an update about the production schedule and said filming is set to kick off in a just a few months. "We're gonna shoot April 11 in New Orleans," Hill divulged. "I'm excited. I've never been to New Orleans before." While Hill and co-star Channing Tatum are slated to head in front of the lens, he added that the entire cast hasn't been firmed up yet. "It was really important to get the main two characters together, and then now we gotta fill out the rest of the cast," he said. However there is one superstar cameo Hill has been gunning for since the project was green lit: Johnny Depp. "Hopefully, he does it. It would be awesome if he did it," Hill told MTV News in November about getting the "Pirates of the Carribean" star and "Jump Street" alum, even jokingly offering an aggressive plea to directly to Depp: "Just do it, dude. Don't be an a--hole. Just be in the movie." Depp seems down for turning up in the flick, telling MTV News in December, "I'm in." A Depp cameo may lend the project some authenticity, but Hill has maintained that the film version will introduce brand new characters and bear little resemblance to its small-screen predecessor. "What happens is they get caught up in the high school-ness as opposed to the police work," Hill previously told MTV News. "And whenever they get too caught up in the high school drama, police work comes in. And whenever they get too caught up in the police work, high school drama comes in. "It's an entirely new imagination of what '21 Jump Street' is," he explained. "We're not doing a spoof whatsoever. It will be crazy characters that are in very unreal circumstances sometimes." Check out everything we've got on "21 Jump Street." For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com. Related Videos Related Photos |
