Video - Jonah Hill Calls Out “Glee’s” Matthew Morrison on Live Television – Too Cool!

Thursday, September 22, 2011

Funny man Jonah Hill stopped by to talk with NBC’s Jimmy Fallon last night and it turned out to be one of the best late night interviews we have ever seen.

We had no idea Jonah Hill could be this funny, and he certainly has dropped a few pounds.

In fact, that is an understatement – he has lost a LOT of weight and is looking good!

Jonah was there to plug his new movie with Brad Pitt called “Moneyball” and to talk about his new show he just sold to FOX called "Allen Gregory" - his new animated series that tells the story of one of the most pretentious 7-year-olds of our time.

Jonah told a hilarious story about meeting with the people from FOX during a party and running into Matthew Morrison from “Glee” for the first time.

It’s a great inside look at Hollywood parties, famous people meeting other famous people, and snobbery.

The interview is hilarious!





By the time that interview was over we didn’t really care about “Moneyball” and had turned into huge Jonah Hill fans for life!

And by the way, his new show Allen Gregory looks like it could be another hit for FOX. It is an animated show and will follow “The Simpsons” staring October 30, 2011.

Take a look at this trailer and you’ll see what we mean:



We got to give kudos to Jonah Hill – he really seems to be getting a lot funnier and more comfortable in his own skin. Gone are the days of that awkward fat actor who seemed to be only strangely funny at times.

Video - Anthony Bourdain Starts Feud with Chef Paula Deen

Friday, August 19, 2011

Anybody who has ever watched Anthony Bourdain and his Travel Channel show “No Reservations” knows he is a no-nonsense, stubborn, heavy drinking chef who likes to do things his way.

Anybody who has watched TV Chef Paula Deen knows her as the sweetest down home cooking Southern chef in the World.

So what has Deen so worked up these days?

Well, Bourdain called her out by name in an interview with TV Guide saying,

"The worst, most dangerous person to America is clearly Paula Deen. She revels in unholy connections with evil corporations and she's proud of the fact that her food is f**k**g bad for you. Plus, her food sucks."

That’s pretty standard conversation for Bourdain if you’ve ever seen the master of tact in action before.

But Deen took exception with his comments (who wouldn’t) and replied publicly saying,

"I was actually kind of shocked considering I've never met Anthony and wonder why such harsh words were used. I don't know if it was a publicity thing, or if someone just peed in his bowl of cereal that morning and he was mad. Anthony, dear, I'm so sorry you feel that way."

Paula is the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen! I wish she was my Mother.

But she didn’t stop there.

Deen later appeared on Fox and Friends to respond personally about the situation.

Bourdain also slammed TV chefs Guy Fieri, Sandra Lee, and Rachael Ray saying “I hate her works on this planet”.

Ouch.

I guess were lucky he didn’t go off on Martha Stewart, Betty Crocker or the late Julia Child.

So apparently, there ARE too many cooks in the kitchen these days.

Seth MacFarlane to Create New Flintstones Series for FOX.

Monday, May 23, 2011

May sweeps are in full swing, and the network upfronts are behind us.

One big piece of news that emerged last week was Fox’s intent to bring back the animated series the Flintstones with funnyman Set MacFarlane at the helm.

We can already hear the erocktion jokes…

Yes, we know there have been numerous remakes of the Flintstones over the years… but can you imagine what MacFarlane is capable of doing with the new series?

Seth, Fox’s $100 Million man, has received the green light to create and produce the new animated series for an expected 2013 showing.

Part of the deal with Fox also gives MacFarlane the right to create at least one movie version of the new Flintstones show. Anything has to be better than Rosie O’Donnell, John Goodman, and Rick Moranis.

Remember that 1994 mishap?

MacFarlane is no stranger to animated series, or pushing the envelope of what is acceptable on television.

His current series Family Guy, American Dad, and The Cleveland Show are all current hits but not without their own controversy.

Family guy was cancelled two times by FOX before they realized they had a hit on their hands and let it roll on. And American Dad has come under scrutiny for its rude and tasteless jokes.

But America has fallen in love with Stan, Stewie, Lois, Meg, Bryan, Quagmire, Joe, and Francine, and we suspect we will also fall in love with the new Fred and Barney.

But MacFarlane may not be able to get away with the same kind of dark humor with this series as several entities including Hanna Barbara and Warner Brothers have an interest in keeping their brand somewhat wholesome.

Gary Newman of Twentieth Century Fox says,

“It’s going to be put under a microscope because people are so nostalgic about the brand. But Seth is going to be very respectful of the original. It’s a show that is perfect for recreating because it was a comment on the 1960’s through the prism of a Stone Age family. And now we have the ability to comment on the 21st century. It’s the type of property that’s perfect for someone like Seth MacFarlane who just loves social commentary.”

MacFarlane, who voices several of his original characters, has been quite as to who will participate on the project or provide the voices.

But, we do have a little insight on how Set MacFarlane has dealt with Fred and Barney in the past….

Video - Bill O'Reilly vs. Jon Stewart – Who Do You Think Won?

Tuesday, May 17, 2011

Last night we got to witness two American icons going head to head.

This has only happened one other time in cable television history.

Jon Stewart, host of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show”, and poppa bear Bill O’Reilly, host of Fox’s “O’Reilly Factor”, faced of last night to discuss the invitation of rapper Common as a White House Guest.

Stewart accused Bill, and Fox News Channel, of creating a controversy for ratings, and O’Reilly… well, we’re not sure what Bill was trying to argue.

When O’Reilly actually let Stewart speak, there was enough hypocrisy to go around for everyone.

So, instead of giving you a blow by blow we’ll just let you watch the video and form your own opinion.

Personal Note:

InfoStar’s only bias is….. wait for it…… We hate Bill O’Reilly and the entire family at Fox News – other than that we feel we can be fair and balanced.

FOX Pulls Episodes of Family Guy, American Dad, and The Cleveland Show

Wednesday, May 4, 2011

FOX says they have pulled an upcoming series of shows of Family Guy, American Dad, and The Cleveland Show because they could be insensitive to viewers.

The episodes were written as a trilogy of sorts, where a hurricane bares down on all three TV families with overlapping animations in what is titled "Animation Domination."

But due to the tornadoes and storms that tore through the south this week, FOX decided to hold the episodes over until next season saying,

"In light of the recent storms that have affected the nation, Fox has decided to postpone the crossover episodes that were originally scheduled to air this Sunday"

Seth McFarland said the episodes were written over a year ago and agrees with the decision to push out their air dates until next year.

Did you hear that NBC? You might want to hold on that 30 Rock, The Office, Chuck, and Parenthood quadruple earthquake, volcano, and tsunami weekend marathon tie-in during sweeps.

Just saying…
