Music Buzz On last nights Leno, Jack Black describes the thought process behind the “comeback” album's cover and “insert”. It is so good to have The D in the public eye again! Note: All puns intended.
Music Buzz Well, kind of. It's more like a well produced skit with about a minute and a half of actual music. Val Kilmer, Josh Groban, and Dave Grohl guest star.
Celebrity Buzz At least that's what his tumblr says. Wait, Val Kilmer has a tumblr blog?
Movie Buzz Not quite happy about Jack Black representing their culture, China made its very own take on Kung Fu Panda, featuring a fat cake making rabbit and his nemesis…The evil western Panda. We’re not making this up.
Music Buzz The song is excellent. The video is hilarious and lousy with celebrities (from Will Ferrell to Elijah Wood to Danny McBride). The Beastie Boys are definitely back. Can't wait for the new album.
Movie Buzz Things I did not know before today: 1) They made a Neverending Story 3. 2) Jack Black was in it. 3) Some altruistic genius compiled all of the relevant scenes and put them on YouTube. Here they are. (Via Poe TV.)
Celebrity Buzz Rex Ryan has some pretty distinguished company in the Foot Fancy Club. Who knew that the head coach of the New York Jets would be sucking toes alongside the likes of James Joyce and Andy Warhol?
He's paid to go undercover as a student in America Ferrera's third grade classroom and spread lies about Obamacare. Fortunately for us, the kids aren't buying his stories. Unfortunately for us, kids really, really like lying and are susceptible to peer pressure.
Culture Buzz Now that there’s a movie featuring an ugly panda, and lots of ugly panda accessories, are pandas no longer cute? It’s like the title of an Onion article: “Panda No Longer Adorable.” But it’s true. The over-saturation of pandas in the media is making me wonder if they’re still cute.
Movie Buzz A new trailer for Michel Gondry’s next movie has hit the web. Here’s the setup: After Jack Black accidentally erases all the videos in Mos Def’s rental store, the two start reshooting their own versions of classic movies. Comedy ensues!
