Every Friday here at Flavorwire, we like to gather up the week’s new movie trailers, give them a look-see, and rank them from worst to best — while taking a guess or two about what they might tell us (or hide from us) about the movies they’re promoting. We’ve got eleven trailers for you this week, including new films from Woody Allen, Oliver Stone, and Seth McFarlane, plus Whitney Houston’s final role and Katy Perry in 3D. (Seriously.) Check ‘em all out after the jump, and share your thoughts in the comments. … Read More

What’s On at Flavorpill: The Links That Made the Rounds in Our Office
Today at Flavorpill, we were blown away by Seth Casteel’s awesome underwater dog photography. We met the oldest thing in the world. We watched Daniel Radcliffe pick up right where Ralph Fiennes left off with the Harry Potter erotic fan fiction. We appreciated Maura Johnston’s handy guide… Read More
Celebrity Fight Club: 10 of Hollywood’s Bad Boy Elite
Jeremy Renner — who appeared in the recently released installment of long-running Tom Cruise action vehicle, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol — was at a pub in Phuket, Thailand last night when a huge brawl broke out. Rumors circulated that the Hurt Locker actor might have been injured, but later reports confirmed that Renner left the bar unharmed as soon as the frenzy broke out. The star’s reps advised J.R. was “not involved” in the attack, but it made us wonder if his bad boy screen persona had any real-life influence when it came to the verbal assault that apparently started the whole thing. Renner’s not the only Hollywood actor who appears to be a little too comfortable in the part of troublemaker. Past the break, we list several other stars working today that probably belong to the celebrity fight club we’re not allowed to talk about (them’s the rules). Who’d you add? … Read More
Trailer Park: Coming Soon — Next Summer’s Blockbusters!
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. This week’s eleven trailers include several peeks at next summer’s blockbusters, which are presumably rolling out in front of the big holiday releases. But there are some smaller (and stranger) titles hiding in there as well; check ‘em all out after the jump. … Read More
Russell Brand Will Host FX’s First Late-Night Show
Earlier this week we raised an eyebrow over the news that Russell Brand would be teaming up with New Girl producers Chernin Entertainment to create his own animated series for Fox, which will be written by Bob’s Burgers sribes Dan Fybel and Rich Rinaldi. Now we find out that beginning this spring, he’ll… Read More
What’s On at Flavorpill: The Links That Made the Rounds in Our Office
Today at Flavorpill, we were amazed by the wealth of Perfect Strangers fan art to be found on the Internet. We discovered that Charleston has more hot people than any other American city, at least according to Travel + Leisure. We were surprised that Turkey’s prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, … Read More
See Katy Perry's Russell Brand Impression in New 'SNL' Promo
Rumors that Katy Perry and Russell Brand’s marriage is on the rock have been flying — and both the pop star and the comedian have been vociferously denying them. “I am really happily married,” Brand told Ellen DeGeneres last week. “I’m married to Katy. Perpetually, until death do us part was the pledge.” Now, it looks like Perry is running some subtle damage control in a new promo for Saturday Night Live, which she’ll be hosting this week — and which we’ll be watching, if for no other reason than because Robyn is the musical guest. In one of a handful of new clips, Perry does an affectionate impression of Brand, relating the advice he gave her for hosting the show. Watch it, and find yourself entertaining the idea that she may not be such a bad host after all, below. … Read More
10 Hilarious Speeches by Pop Culture Icons
Last night, Will Ferrell was the 14th funny person to receive the prestigious Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor award. He follows in the footsteps of giants like George Carlin, Tina Fey, and Steve Martin. Audiences enjoyed a retrospective of his career, as well as tributes from a comedian all-star cast, but it was Ferrell’s acceptance speech that won everyone over with his trademark deadpan style. When the Anchorman actor thanked his wife Viveca Paulin for her support, he of course added, “We have a wonderful life together but I do have to say … sometimes you get a little lippy. You’ve got a big mouth and you like to run it.” Who else brought the funny during speech time? Click through for a look back at ten hilarious speeches. … Read More

No One Is Hosting This Year’s MTV Video Music Awards
We have an unhealthy relationship with MTV’s Video Music Awards. While we’re never exactly what you’d call excited to sit down and watch the show each year, thanks to precious pop culture moments — like Michael Jackson smooching Lisa Marie Presley or Britney Spears dancing with a gigantic snake — we feel obligated to tune… Read More
