- Elizabeth Banks' Hair Smells Minty Fresh
TGIF, y'all! Though we have a feeling few are as happy for the almost-weekend as "Hunger Games" star Elizabeth Banks, who took to Twitter today to joke about a little personal hygiene mishap she had this morning.
It was nice spending the first half of this day not knowing my kid put toothpaste in the back of my hair. #ignoranceisbliss
— Elizabeth Banks (@ElizabethBanks) November 30, 2012
Though, to be fair, she'd probably fit right in at the Capitol. After all, hair toothpaste could just be the next big thing in the ruling district. YOU NEVER KNOW.
With that, Crushers, we'll see you back here on Monday! Have a good weekend!
Ever had toothpaste stuck in your hair?
Переслать - YA Novel 'I Hunt Killers' Takes A Stab At TV
If you've been thinking that Barry Lyga's amazing serial killer-thriller YA book "I Hunt Killers" was most desperately deserving of its own TV show, guess what: Hollywood agrees with you! And if you've been thinking that there's no better home for the charming, mysterious and maybe-murderous Jasper Dent than the same network that gave us the macabre camp of "Pretty Little Liars"... um, you're psychic? Or at least, you should seriously consider a career in book scouting! Because according to Deadline, ABC Family has, indeed, picked up the book for development into a series.
For those not in the know, "I Hunt Killers" is the story of Jasper "Jazz" Dent, a teenage boy with a famous father—and by famous, we mean infamous. Jasper is the son of one of the country's most prolific and notorious serial killers, and some think that he's inherited more from his deadly dad than just a strong jaw and a pair of nice eyes... especially now that people in his hometown are suddenly dying under mysterious circumstances. The first book, which kicked off an intended series with a bloody flourish last spring, sees Jasper collaborating with the police in an attempt to clear his name. But with buried secrets and brutal memories continually coming back to haunt him, it's not entirely clear whether Jasper is the hero of the story, or the villain, or both.
As of right now, there's not much to report —although "Dexter" writer Arika Mittman is on tap to develop the script, which means that the dark and gritty source material is in very good hands. But with a career-making lead role up for grabs, we're thinking that some of Hollywood's best young men are looking ripe to be stalked...er, talked about.
Have you read "I Hunt Killers"? Are you excited to see it turned into a show?

Переслать - 'Girls' Season 2 Trailer: Anything Could Happen
For all you "Girls" girls, here's a treat even more delicious than a bowl full of sweet mucus: the series' season two trailer!
HBO has finally released a full-length preview of the upcoming season (premiering January 13, 2013), and the sneak peek is positively squeal-worthy. (And just to be clear, that's not hyperbole. I squawked audibly—and loudly—no fewer than three times watching this.)
Seriously, though, everything in this trailer is working for me: Adam's forelorn, Taylor Swift-worthy break-up ballad; the return of slimy-sexy artist Booth Jonathan played by Jorma Taccone, Hannah's exhuberant Wednesday night dance-flail, Marnie's sheer desperation. As my colleague Jocelyn Vena mused, it looks like "Girls" has found its stride. Watch the full trailer after the jump!
And a few of my favorite lines:
"This opens up space in my life for the kind, sexy boyfriend I've always wanted but never had." —Hannah rationalizing her break-up with Adam
"I may be deflowered but I'm not devalued." —Shoshanna on doing it
"You look 30 years old." —Marnie's mother to her daughter (P.S. Love you, Rita Wilson!)
"Oh, I think you're a person who's about to have sex with me." —Booth to a befuddled Marnie
"I know I always said he was murdery in a sexy way, but what if he's murdery in, like, a murdery way?" —Hannah on Adam's irrational behavior
If I may be so bold to speak on its behalf, my DVR can hardly wait.

Переслать - Style Superstar: Kate Mara Amazes In Acid Chiffon
With glum, gray winter coming down the pike, we always appreciate an eye-popping wake-up call from Hollywood's best-dressed—particularly when it comes in the form of a shocking chartreuse dress styled like whoa. And during the month of November, to our great delight, two different stars opted to throw a little acid green on the red carpet! Whose look was the searing superstar?
It's Kate Mara! Her Jason Wu dress at the "Deadfall" premiere was one of the event's most noticeable outfits, for obvious reasons—but with a lovely Grecian-style drape, an embellished lace inset, and the addition of strappy black shoes and jewelry, this was an eye-catching look that we couldn't look away from. And with Kate wisely opting for sleek hair and smoky eyes to put some polish on her ensemble, she's a hands-down win for Style Superstar.
And if you're thinking that shade of green seems familiar, you're right: it's a close cousin to the bold dress that Kristen Stewart wore to the Madrid premiere of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2." But where Kate hit all the right notes with her chiffon-draped dream dress, Kristen missed the most vital rule of wearing a color this bright: It needs to fit. Like, really, really fit. And while KStew nailed it with the length (those legs!) and the styling (those shoes!), the cap-sleeved cut and creasing at the waist makes it look awkward. We'd love to see her in a version of this look that's a little more flattering to her figure.

Переслать - 'Glee' Recap: 'Thanksgiving'
by Melissa Albert
In the time warp that is Lima, Ohio, it's still Thanksgiving, and "Glee"'s prodigal children are home for the holidays. Look, it's Quinn! And Puck! And Santana, Mike, Mercedes and Finn! The No. 1 besties (most of whom could barely stand each other in high school) sing "Homeward Bound/Home" (Simon & Garfunkel/Phillip Phillips), while the rest of us consider how this reunion scene would be a lot more moving if 5 out of the 6 kids hadn't already returned a million times. Still, this is by far the best episode in weeks—partly because of the familiar faces, partly because human sweater vest Finn stayed in the background.
Thanksgiving means sectionals around these parts, and the team is gearing up for victory against diabolical teen geniuses the Dalton Warblers. Finn calls on the graduates to mentor the active glee kids, then announces his sectionals pick: Psy's "Gangnam Style." Sam "White Chocolate" Evans immediately offers to lend his amazing skills as top dancer, but Finn isn't visionary enough to give him every lead in the show. Would we love Sam less if the show used him more? All we know is, every time he opens his trouty mouth, something awesome comes out.
The "unholy" Cheerios trinity, Brittany, Santana and Quinn, show the junior glee girls the moves that made them the winningest cheer team in Ohio. In honor of Quinn's easy-listening vocals, they go into Motown mode, performing the Supremes' "Come See About Me."
It's all fun and games until someone with a burgeoning eating disorder can't even get through the performance without nearly keeling over. Poor Marley lacks the zesty self-confidence of, say, a young Sam Evans, and preparing for sectionals is making her fall apart at the seams. When Santana discovers that Kitty's been feeding Marley laxatives, she goes to Quinn for help. But Kitty considers former head cheerleader and all-around Stepford Bitch Quinn to be the second coming (possibly literally), and Quinn's let the idol worship go to her head. After she accuses Santana of just being jealous of her (wha-huh?), they trade soap opera slaps and completely forget about starving hand-puppet Marley.
Marley's footmen, Jake and Ryder, also fail to see just how dire her situation is. The boys are still buddy-buddy, and they're trying to keep it that way. Since Jake's pulling ahead in the Marley race, he deliberately throws his dance audition with Mike Chang, letting Ryder win the Gangnam solo.
Rachel didn't have his luck in her first off-Broadway audition, but nothing can bring her down: Kurt's finally applied to NYADA! And they've decided to throw their own "orphans" Thanksgiving in Bushwick, while trying to forget about all the guys who've broken their hearts.
This becomes difficult for Rachel when Brody stands in for a hungover Cassie as her Dance 101 instructor. He pairs with pouty Rach on the fox trot, reminding her that she was the one who rejected him, running off to Finn while he stayed behind and dried his tears with Cassie. (Not that she was a consolation prize. Brody is quick to sing the praises of her fine behind.) But, "We're not in high school anymore," he reminds Rachel—then promises not only to not sleep with Cassie anymore, but to do the cooking for Bushwick Thanksgiving.
Kurt's got a wild card guest of his own: lonely Vogue editor Isabelle, whose usual plans were interrupted by, of all things, the death of Gore Vidal. She casually asks if she can bring a few friends (uh-oh), then tries to convince Kurt to get into the spirit of the season by finally forgiving Blaine.
Will Kurt and Blaine's reconciliation be a Thanksgiving miracle? The day's finally arrived, and over at Kurt and Rachel's pad, the turkey's on the table, the Rachel/Brody flirtation is at an all-time high, and Isabelle and her clubby entourage have just arrived. What happens next appears to have come straight from the brain of "SNL"'s Stefon: an insane performance of the Scissor Sisters' "Let's Have a Kiki," combined with kids' song "Turkey Lurkey Time" and festive circle dancing that wouldn't look out of place at a Jewish wedding.
Kurt sneaks onto the fire escape to call Blaine, who's already backstage at sectionals. He tells Blaine that, though he's not ready to forgive him, he misses him and is willing to see him over Christmas. The two then reaffirm their love for each other...but it's unclear whether it's a best friends love, or whether they're getting back together. All we can say for sure is that Darren's performance in this scene proves once again that he's the best actor on the show.
Everything might be looking up for Blaine, but it's looking hopeless for Marley. She's sweaty, she's sleepless, she's cracking under sectionals pressure. She eats a single Tic-Tac for dinner, and is nearly brought to panicked tears by the Warblers' performance of Flo Rida's "Whistle" and One Direction's "Live While We're Young." Ryder's got his own (lesser) problem: He knows he's not good enough to take the "Gangnam Style" dance solo, and passes it to Jake right before the club goes on. Tina takes vocal lead, and it's pretty freaking cute—but the choreography is sloppy, and the chorus is so chipper it hurts. Though the confetti guns don't hurt, it's a pretty blah performance by the New Directions.
And they're about to have a bigger problem on their hands. Her vision failing, and awash in a disorienting sea of confetti, Marley finally collapses right before the curtain drops. Cliffhanger! We smell retribution coming for Kitty, and a Very Special Episode of "Glee" for the rest of us.
Song of the episode: The Warblers' "Whistle," but only because Kurt and Blaine's phone call wasn't technically a song.

Переслать - 'Vampire Diaries' Recap: 'My Brother's Keeper'
by Cassie Title
Before we get into this week's episode, I want to know: Why has "The Vampire Diaries" never done a Thanksgiving episode? I can see its cinematic genius, crystal clear in my head: There'd be turkeys. There'd be blood. And there'd be people who probably did a road (walking) trip to the famed original Thanksgiving dinner, with the Pilgrims and the Native Americans, using the whole episode to tell us all about how things really went down. (Maybe the Pilgrims were vampires! And we already know certain Virginia natives were werewolves. Maybe it's like "Twilight" and, like, tons of Native Americans are werewolves! THAT PUTS A WHOLE NEW MEANING INTO THANKSGIVING!) Also, because of the hurricane, timeliness doesn't seem to be a factor: The CW was showing Thanksgiving-themed episodes, like, two weeks after the actual holiday. Besides, we all know that "TVD" can't do an episode without some sort of festive occasion. So next year, producers, that's what I'd like to see. Just in case you wanted to know.
In other news, "My Brother's Keeper" brought us the return of the Miss Mystic Falls pageant, and I must say, it seems to be a much more legit operation than last year's. For starters, it was HUGE! Tyler, has your house always been that large? Have the grounds always been so expansive? Were they just doing close ups with the camera last year? And while I can understand that the reigning Miss Mystic helps to organize the event, would a high-schooler really have that much power and be completely running the festivities without anything but a ceremonial speech from Mayor Carol Lockwood? I mean, I love Caroline as much as the next person, and she's totally capable, but I'm not sure how I feel about "TVD" slowly becoming "Gossip Girl." You know, young people seem to have real jobs despite the fact they're still in high school (or in the latter's case, they have one year of college and then we act as if they graduated and became professional writers or CEOs of multi-million dollar companies or owners of newspapers). Clearly, I don't know the answers to these important questions, but if anyone does, please weigh in.
And now, to get to the meat of this recap:
1. Stefan's pretty much hit rock bottom. Homeboy is back in the woods, white tank-top-clad, doing pushups or something equally as manly to get his breakup with Elena off of his mind. This obviously doesn't work. He's continuing to work with Klaus, in that he decides that the best way to find the cure is to force Jeremy to kill vampires so his hunter's mark will grow. Seriously. He goes to a hospital, where all I'm thinking is that MFell is gonna show (WHERE HAS THE GIRL GONE?), but instead he creeps on surgery records and kidnaps a patient. Things get fuzzy for me here, because we find out the dude was a relentless murderer, so I get that Stefan's going all "Dexter" on him. What I think happens (don't be mad; it's hard to get things straight without DVR!), is that Stefan feeds him his blood in the hospital, kills him, he wakes up, and then steals him away to some sketchy place where he chains him up, (but could this transformation have happened so fast?!), and beyond aggressively forces Jeremy to kill him. All to help Elena become the person you want her to be, which is a person, and not a vampire. Especially since you know Elena will love that you saved her by killing her brother's soul. Frankly, Stefan's actions are totally Damon, but lacking the awesome Damon charm. I love that Stef and Caroline are having a bromance (that's the only way I can describe it!), but I've basically lost all interest in him. He's manipulative, obnoxious and kind of boring.
2. Jeremy's basically a full-blown hunter. Combined with Stefan's forceful temptation and his hunter blood kicking in, all Jeremy can think or dream about is killing vampires. Which is why he almost kills his sister, before Matt stops him. And moves in. And Elena moves into the Salvatore's. SO REALISTIC, GUYS.
3. Shane and Hayley know each other. Which I totally guessed, when I saw them hanging at the pageant party. Hayley is working with Shane on his as-yet-revealed plan of sketchiness. Which is super sketchy. I was just beginning to really dig her, and now I just can't trust her at all! Why, Hayley, why!
4. Is Bonnie even on this show anymore? Not really, but she's essential and will be: Shane explains that once the hunter's marks complete and one follows the map and finds the cure, it will still be sealed with a witch's spell that only a certain kind of witch can de-spell. Totally knew that certain kind of witch was a Bennett one before Damon.
5. Elena and Damon get it on. I guess it was hot, and I was really, really excited, but it seemed too loving for me. I want them to be in love, but I just want the scene to be good. Like, Katherine in "The Return"-style good. With the epic music and everything.
6. And right after, Caroline figures out the craziest thing which is the biggest cop out in "TVD" history. Okay, maybe not. But it looks like Elena's sired to Damon! WHICH IS MIND BLOWINGLY CRAZY! And totally interesting, because if that's true, how is it really different from her, in her current state, being with Stefan? Considering how manipulative he's been, I'd say she was metaphorically sired to him, as well.
7. I finally agree with Elena on something. She thought that Professor Shane was creepy. And she's totally right. Sorry, Shane: We only had one former vampire hunter who started showing up at all sorts of inappropriate places that our high school friends were constantly at, and he's dead. An Alaric you will never be.
It was a pretty action-packed episode, so if there was something I didn't cover that you're just dying to talk about, don't hesitate to tell me on Twitter or in the comments below, along with answers to the following questions:
How creepy is Jeremy? Can you believe Stefan's behavior? Were you super-psyched for Delena, and completely pissed that this siring business is taking away from what should be real feelings (which we know exist, from before the transition?) When are we going to get to the bottom of Shane's plan? Are you shocked about Hayley? Are you excited to see more of Alyssa Diaz, the actress who played the hybrid Hayley and Tyler were coaching? Are you getting annoyed that everyone keeps talking about how different Elena is, because she seems like pretty much the same and everyone should get off her back? Are you more shocked than me that I'm defending ELENA? Do you want April to just go away? Can Rebekah come back already? Are you starting to think this show needs some fresh blood (PUN INTENDED) because you don't buy any of the character's motivations anymore? (Get over hybrid-making, Klaus. This isn't "Ruby Sparks," Stefan. And no matter how much Gilbert, vampire-hating blood you have, Jer, basically everyone you love or hang with is a vampire, so I don't think you can possibly believe that all vampires need to die.)
That was a mouthful. Thank you for reading. A blog post's like a present you can open again and again. So you should probably do that until next week. Good talk.

And who came out on top in this rooftop battle for co-star knowing supremacy? ...No, really, we're asking you; we're way too distracted by Jennifer's amazing belted jumpsuit to declare a winner.
