About a month ago we showed you the first trailer for a new movie: Friends with Kids, written, produced and directed by Jennifer Westfeldt (Kissing Jessica Stein, Ira and Abby). It’s a topical adult comedy about two best friends Westfeldt and Adam Scott) who decide to have a child together while keeping their relationship platonic, so they can avoid the toll kids can take on romantic relationships.  I liked that first trailer. I didn’t love it. (It felt like a Saturday Night Live skit drawn out to feature length.) Now we have a red band trailer that gives us a taste of the “adult” in the phrase, adult comedy. It's actually pretty tame. (The red-band for Bridesmaids was wilder.) There’s a lot of “sex” talk, that while not graphic is explicit. (I’m also wondering who exactly has conversations like that. Is this what’s going on between thirty-forty somethings in chic UWS apartments these days? Damn it. I miss everything.)

Costarring Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Chris O’Dowd and Jon Hamm (Westfeldt’s real-life partner, these two are one of the longest running ‘non’ marriages in Hollywood and certainly one of the best looking couples to ever grace a red carpet), -basically, the cast of Bridesmaids with Westfeldt and Scott thrown in. Oh yeah…and Megan Fox and Ed Burns, Friends with Kids has a lot of serious talent involved. Along with Westfeldt, also wearing producer’s hats are Jake Kasdan and Mike Nichols. Friends with Kids debuted at TIFF last fall and opens wide in the US on March 9.

Well, they had to do something…

In all fairness, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences always puts out a teaser trailer to generate interest in the show. This year’s trailer just feels a little desperate, given all of the drama surrounding first the choice of Brett Ratner as one of the producers of the show, then Ratner’s choice of Eddie Murphy as host (an idea I was actually starting to warm to) then Ratner’s ouster for an (inevitable) ridiculous comment and Murphy then following him out the door.

Actually, I like the idea of Billy Crystal coming back for his ninth outing as host of the Academy Awards.  I also think that all things considered, this trailer is funny. But I have to wonder if it’s going to appeal to anyone not already looking forward to Crystal’s return.

While some are calling this thing hilarious and even “side-splitting”, both of which I think go too far, it is amusing. Produced in conjunction with Will Ferrell’s “Funny or Die” team, the trailer features Megan Fox and Josh Duhamel on the trail of someone known only as “The Host”. Charged with tracking  him down by William Fichtner, who is a pretty good ringer for telecast producer Brian Grazer, the duo encounter in their quest a bartender played by Vinnie Jones, Robin Williams’ Mongolian ferryman and references films like Indiana Jones and Kiss Me Deadly (the glowing briefcase-no Pulp Fiction did not do it first.)

I’d be watching on February 26 even if Uggie the dog (from The Artist) was hosting, as I’ve said, it’s my High Holy Day, but I am looking forward to Crystal’s opening song.

Megan Fox at 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards

Megan Fox is reportedly in the process of having her tattoo of Marilyn Monroe removed from her right forearm.  She hasn’t come out and announced that or anything.  That would totally not be her style.  But she’s been spotted with a noticeably faded tattoo and so the assumption is that she’s getting is lasered off.

When she got the tattoo she said,

“I really admire Marilyn Monroe, but I would never try to emulate her. I got the tattoo as a warning,” she said in 2009. “It warns me not to let myself be treated so badly by the film industry so that it breaks me down.”

So I wonder what made her change her mind?  It’s not like she’s had it that long.  Kind of odd if you ask me.

What do you think?  Is she hotter with or without the ink?

Lately Megan Fox has been getting a lot of heat for being so skinny. All the haters seem to think she starves herself when she might actually just be a skinny girl.

Even her trainer has come to her defense pointing out that she struggles to gain weight. It’s not a disorder folks. She’s just hot and a lot of us are just jealous.  I don’t hate her for it.  I just want her husband, Brian Austin Green.  YUMMO.

Megan Fox: Really, Really??

Anyhow, Megan’s latest ad campaign with Armani Code is hot.  She’s done the jeans, the lingerie, and well, this one is one of the hottest.  Girl is smokin’!

It is clear why Brian chose her.

Enjoy the hot snaps:

So it looks like Megan Fox is comparing herself to another big name star: Steve Buscemi.  I know, it’s like huh?   Wha?  She doesn’t think that she currently looks like him, but apparently that’s how she sees her toddlers pictures.

She posted a couple on her Facebook page yesterday with the caption,

“I look like Steve Buscemi.”

So who is Fox compared to in the present?  None other than Angelina Jolie.  But Megan is quite bashful about that compliment.  She told EW in ’09,

“She always seems otherworldly in her power and her confidence.  I’m sure she has no idea who I am. But if I were her, I’d be like, ‘Who the f— is this little bulls— brat who was inTransformers that’s going to be the next me?’ I don’t want to meet her. I’d be embarrassed.”

I think that it’s fair to compare her to Angie.  Not Steve.  Get real Megan.  You are hot.  You know it.  Nuff said.

OMG.  When I first read this, I nearly soiled my pants.  I have been in love with Brian Austin Green most of my life.  Growing up with him, on 90210 of course, I just fell head over heels.  Well, anyhow, enough of the stalker stuff.  Brian Austin Green was on Jimmy Kimmel and they joked about his eight year old son, Kaissus being at the bachelor party,

“He got wasted. He got really wasted.  But he made it through. He sobered up in time.”

His son was his best man his wedding to Megan Fox in Hawaii.  It was an intimate, thought out wedding that the three of them got to share.

Megan Fox & Brian Austin Green Are Married

Does that fact that Brian married Megan make me want to hate her?  Yes.  She’s a total babe and she got a total babe.  He’s such man candy, I just love him. Ooops, there I go again, drooling on my keyboard.
