Welcome to “Trailer Park,” our regular Friday feature where we collect the week’s new trailers all in one place and do a little “judging a book by its cover,” ranking them from worst to best and taking our best guess at what they may be hiding. We’ve got seven new trailers for you this week; check ‘em all out after the jump.

1. Twilight actress Ashley Greene has landed the starring role in Olivia Twisted, a modern-day take on the Charles Dickens classic, Oliver Twist. [via Variety]

2. ABC has scooped up Walk of Shame, a single-camera from producer Will Gluck (Friends With Benefits, Easy A) and co-written by SNL alum Casey Wilson that’s about “a group of 20-something friends in New York and features an opening scene about an embarrassing situation followed by flashbacks of the events that led to it.” [via Deadline]

3. A theme song for your morning: Florence Welch has released “Shake It Off,” another track from her upcoming sophomore album, Ceremonies, which is due out November 7. Pretty, no? [via The Hairpin]

4. Vulture reports that J.J. Abrams has officially signed on to direct Star Trek 2; pre-production is already underway, and the plan is to begin shooting this winter.

5. Before he begins filming on Les Miserables next year, Hugh Jackman is returning to Broadway this fall for 10 weeks in a one-man show that will feature a selection of his favorite musical numbers. [via ArtsBeat]

Bonus Buzz: Jon Hamm Is Basically Fabio

Today at Flavorpill, we listened to a new song from Björk’s Biophilia and Missy Elliot’s remix of “Last Friday Night.” We were surprised by what Australian artist Jun Gil Park can create using bananas as his canvas. We channeled our inner Lloyd Dobler. We liked the looks of director John Ford’s Forever stamp, which is the first in a series honoring American filmmakers, and will be issued by the US Postal Service next year. We were excited to hear that Comedy Central is teaming up with Weird Al to premiere his first televised concert special in over a decade. We wondered what could have possibly inspired the Farrelly Brothers to give the Jersey Shore cast a cameo in their upcoming Three Stooges reboot — because it’s certainly not their acting skills. We loved these cheeky (but totally spot on) ads for the New York International Latino Film Festival. And finally, we got our first look at Jon Hamm taking on his new director role in the upcoming season of Mad Men. Is it just us, or is it totally bizarre seeing him and Elisabeth Moss goofing around in their normal clothes while on set?

This time last summer, we were readying ourselves for the premiere of Season 4 of Mad Men. Our biggest worry? Perfecting our Old-Fashioned recipe before having people over to watch it on Sunday night. This year, thanks to some intense and drawn out negotiations between Matthew Weiner and the powers that be, we’ve got to settle for the news that filming on Season 5 begins on August 8 and we won’t be seeing any new episodes until March of next year.

This creates a few interesting questions: How will producers deal with January Jones’s pregnancy on-screen? (She isn’t due until November.) Will Jon Hamm, who recently signed on to guest star in five episodes of David Cross’s British comedy The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, find it difficult juggling the two gigs (especially given that he’s planning to make his directorial debut with the season premiere)? And perhaps, most importantly, how many of our predictions for Season 5 will come true, given the production delays?

It doesn’t feel like summer without new episodes of Mad Men on the horizon, and we’re all pretty depressed about it. Presumably sensing this, star Jon Hamm has given us a tidbit of interesting information about the show’s eventual season premiere: he’ll be directing it himself.

Hamm will follow in the footsteps of co-star John Slattery, who helmed two episodes last season (“I watched Slattery do it, and he handled it with such grace and ability and ease,” Hamm told TV Line, adding, “I figured if he can do it, shit, I can do it too”). But if he warms to the experience, he could very well be the next in a long line of television stars who used their own shows as a film school, learning the directorial ropes before tackling feature film projects. (Some who you’d think would make this list, by the way, actually directed for their shows after directing films; Zach Braff and John Krasinski, for example). Few have yielded cinematic masterpieces, but some have made some interesting pictures; after the jump, take a look at our ten TV-actors-turned-TV-directors-turned-filmmakers.

1. We may have to wait until next year for the new season of Mad Men, but at least we’ll have an added enticement: Jon Hamm is set to direct the premiere. “I watched [John] Slattery do it, and he handled it with such grace and ability and ease… I figured if he can do it, shit, I can do it too,” Hamm joked. [via TVLine]

2. Courtney Love, who recently had a lot to say about heroin, sex, and Kurt Cobain’s anatomy, is being sued for libel by her former lawyer. Yes, it involves Twitter. [via The Wrap]

3. Speaking of substance abuse, Amy Winehouse is back in rehab — and she stopped to buy a mini-bottle of vodka on the way. [via Daily Mail]

4. Reviews are in for The Hangover Part II, which opened yesterday, and they’re not looking good. The sequel currently has a 46 out of 100 rating on Metacritic and a 32 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Eric Hynes at the Village Voice explains why it’s such a failure: “What’s surprising about Roman Numeral Two is how thoroughly unfunny it is. It’s so committed to being exactly what we expect it to be, and to thrusting harder against the envelope of bad taste, that it fails in this most basic sense.”

5. In case you were wondering, yes, Beyoncé‘s voice really is that good, even when Jay-Z captures her rehearsing in her dressing room on his iPhone. [via Gawker]

If you’ve ever fantasized about Jon Hamm repeating the words “Spread my cheeks” in the heat of passion, have we got a video for you. Funny or Die has posted a reel of outtakes from Bridesmaids, and it’s so nasty you have to enter your date of birth to watch it. For those who have and haven’t seen the movie alike, Hamm and Kristen Wiig’s awkwardly athletic sex scene, Melissa McCarthy’s dirty mouth, and all the bodily excretion/noxious odor jokes are a dose of pure, mid-week joy. Watch the clip after the jump.

1. Last night, after a whopping 122 million votes had been tallied (a new record for American Idol), 17-year-old country singer Scotty McCreery, who quite frankly reminds us of Howdy Doody, was named the winner of season 10. [via People]

2. According to TMZ, British import Cheryl Cole has been replaced as a judge on X-Factor by Nicole Scherzinger, formerly of the Pussycat Dolls. The Daily Mail claims that it’s because of Cole’s lack of chemistry with Paula Abdul and producers’ fears that Americans wouldn’t be able to understand her accent.

3. In the latest installment of Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifiankis, guest Will Ferrell feeds his host cherries, Jon Hamm makes a cameo, and there’s an unfortunate incident involving a monkey’s genitals. Sound good to you? Watch it here.

4. The Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum has just announced the winners of the 2011 National Design Awards. View the full list here.

5. Bill Nighy has joined Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Bryan Cranston, and Jessica Biel in the cast of Len Wiseman’s Total Recall reboot, which drops the Martian storyline from the 1990 original. He’ll be playing Quatto (“Kuato” in the Arnold Schwarzenegger version), “the enigmatic and charming” leader of the resistance. [via TotalFilm]

Everyone we know has a love/hate relationship with Saturday Night Live. We moan that the comedians are not as good as they once were and that the writing is toothless and safe, but we still watch every weekend, cheer for our favorite hosts, and delight in dissecting the good from the bad. Now that the 36th season of SNL has officially drawn to a close, it’s time to take a look back at the best skits from this season to give ourselves a few more cheap laughs to hold us over until the fall. Click through to see our highly subjective list — unlike some people we know, we hate What Up With That? and swoon for musical numbers of almost any kind, so be prepared — and feel free to chime in in the comments to let us know which of your favorites of this season we’ve missed!

Last night’s Saturday Night Live surprised us with something we hadn’t known we’d always been missing — the return of the classic short “The Ambiguously Gay Duo.” Only this time, with the help of a flesh ray, Ace, Gary and the gang were transformed into human form. Jimmy Fallon and Jon Hamm appeared as Ace and Gary, and the villains revealed themselves to be Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert (who originally voiced Ace and Gary) along with host Ed Helms. Just like the Ambiguously Gay spots of yore, last night’s half-cartoon, half-live action version was cheap, listless, and mildly offensive. But funny! Watch the video after the jump.
