Watch Pre-Teen Paul Walker on '80s Kids Game Show 'I'm Telling!'

May 24th, 2013 12:00pm EDT
Paul Walker on I'm Telling!
NBC

With "Fast & Furious 6" hitting theaters this weekend and a release date for a seventh "Fast" film already announced (July 11, 2014, for the record), Paul Walker's days of racing cars are far from over. As undercover agent Brian O'Conner, Walker hit the ground running — uh, speeding — back in 2001 with the first film in the hit franchise. In the latest installment, the full crew (including Vin Diesel, Jordana Brewster and Michelle Rodriguez) is back at it again, putting the pedal to the metal for yet another rush of adrenaline.
While "The Fast and the Furious" proved to be his br...

Listen to Benedict Cumberbatch Talk American

May 24th, 2013 11:54am EDT
There are some things that just don't go together: oil and water; wine and Twitter; Jimmy Choos and a hardhat ... You get the idea. And as much as Americans seem to love "Star Trek Into Darkness" star Benedict Cumberbatch, he's not quite ready to pledge fealty to, as he put it, "the stars and stripes."
For the latest MTV After Hours special, Benedict Cumberbatch gave American Talk his very best go, and he was totally down to pimp the health benefits of the McRib and to start going by Sherlock Awesomepants (though only because the surname portion has the same number of syllables as his own)....

According to director Brian Singer's Twitter feed, "American Horror Story" star Evan Peters has just signed on to play Pietro Maximoff, aka the mutant superhero known as Quicksilver, in Singer's 2014 comic book epic "X-Men: Days of Future Past."
Just one problem: Joss Whedon has already revealed that Quicksilver is going to appear in 2015's "The Avengers 2."
Uh oh, you guys.
First, some background on why this character is appearing in two totally different franchises. In the comics, Quicksilver began his career as a member of Magneto's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, helpi...

Watch Dave Franco Toss Cards While Grinning Like a Madman

May 24th, 2013 11:37am EDT
Dave Franco
Dave Franco (yes, the James Franco's little doppelganger brother) is called "The Sleight" in the upcoming heisty magic movie "Now You See Me," and now he's ready to prove that his hand skills do indeed live up to that moniker ... and also that, just like his brother, his intellect is likely of the right-brain nature.
Franco and real-life magician — or should we say as real-life as magicians get — David Kwong teamed up for this new promo video for the film in which Franco smiles maniacally and throws cards at the camera. It's a technique called, you guessed it, "card-throwing" and Franco pro...

This Little Girl Knows More About Marvel Superheroes Than You Do

May 24th, 2013 11:16am EDT
We are all a product of our parents, to a degree. Just look at Lindsay Lohan. No matter where your life takes you, there's always going to be a little bit of your mom and dad in everything you do. Like, say, if your dad is a superhero nerd and chooses to impart all of his knowledge onto your sponge-like brain at four years-old.
Above is the by-product of when this happens, in the form of a five-minute video of an adorable little girl rattling off Marvel trivia like it's not even a thing. At the beginning, you can't help but say "awww!," but as you keep watching, those "awwws" quickly turn t...

Signed 8 x 10 glossies will be sent to fans at my secretary's discretion. But seriously, write away — give this wandering rōnin of the desert some feedback, yo.

Jon Stewart is sharply hilarious and Gael Garcia Bernal honed his comedic chops against Will Ferrell, but the pair are teaming up for the first time to tackle a grimly serious subject.
Stewart has cast the 34-year-old Mexican actor as the lead in his directorial debut, according to TheWrap.com. "The Daily Show" host will take a leave of absence this summer to work on the Iranian-set "Rosewater." While correspondent Jon Oliver sits at the news desk for eight of the 12 weeks his boss will be gone, Stewart will direct the star of "Amores Perros" in the story of a journalist...
