Adam Carolla Thinks In 50 Years, We’ll All Be Chicks

Adam Carolla stopped by Barnes & Noble at The Grove in Los Angeles for a book signing and talk Saturday.

Adam’s book, “In Fifty Years We’ll All Be Chicks” is his comedic gospel of modern America. In his signature balls-out style, Carolla rips into the absurdity of the culture that made Steve Miller a rock star, demonized the peanut butter and jelly sandwich, turned the nation’s bathrooms into a lawless free-for-all of urine and fecal matter, and put its citizens at the mercy of a bunch of minimum wagers with axes to grind.

Peppered between complaints Carolla shares candid anecdotes from his day to day life as well as his past—Sunday football at Jimmy Kimmel’s house, his attempts to raise his kids in a society that he mostly disagrees with, his big showbiz break, and much, much more. Brilliantly showcasing Adam’s spot-on sense of humor, this book cements his status as a cultural commentator/comedian/complainer extraordinaire.

Dane Cook Remembers His Best On Screen Kiss And Streaking Fans – EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS

Did you catch Dane Cook on Extra Tuesday tonight?
Dane was there to promote his new tour and there were plenty of fans on hand during his interview with Mario Lopez, asking intriguing questions of their own.
One asked Dane who has been his best on-set kiss. Dane responded, “Kevin Costner!” Then he said, “Actually, the perfect answer is…I just say ‘Jessica.'” Funny, evasive answer because he has co-starred with both Jessica Simpson (Employee of the Month) and Jessica Alba (Good Luck Chuck).
Another fan asked Dane what the craziest thing a fan has done to catch Dane’s attention. Dane said: “I had a streaker on my last tour. I just heard the crowd kind of like getting all excited, and I thought the joke was working well then I see this guy is running across the stage in his skimpies.”
Dane has been doing comedy since high school –20 years– and is about to embark on yet another live tour.  He is also about to release his 6th comedy album in 7 years, I Did My Best, which will be available November 22.

Me is an intimate memoir about the very liberating and spiritual journey of one of the most iconic pop-stars of our time.

Movie Screening: “The Infidel” Starring Omid Djalili & Richard Schiff – EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS & VIDEO

MOVIE REVIEW – THE INFIDEL.

Kudos to Levantine Cutural Center, an independent not-for-profit organization which presents the arts and cultures of the Middle East and North Africa and champions greater understanding of the Arab/Muslim world and building bridges between Americans and the Middle East/North Africa.
Recently, they hosted the screening of The Infidel, a movie starring British comic and actor Omid Djalili (The Mummy, Gladiator, Sex & The City 2, Pirates of the Caribbean 3) and Richard Schiff (The West Wing, I am Sam).
Hilarious! Djalili plays Mahmud Nasir, a British Muslim man who, unlike devout Muslims should, doesn’t pray fives times a day or fast every day of Ramadan. He even occasionally has an alcoholic drink, or two. Yet his world is still shattered when he discovers that he was actually adopted at birth and his biological parents are Jewish.
Schiff in a supporting role plays Djalili’s newly-appointed guide into the world of “Jewish-ness.” Djalili as Mahmud begins an odyssey into self-realization and investigation to resolve his identity crisis. Classic comedy, excellent casting and deeper underlying issues of race, religion and identity made it a joy to watch! 
Also present at the screening were Jordan Elgraby, founder of the Levantine Cultural Center, and Persian-American comedians Max Amini and Elham Jazab.

Watch the discussion with the movies’ stars, Omid Djalili and Richard Schiff, along with Jordan Elgraby:

Disney’s Newest Show “Shake It Up!” Premieres Sunday – Watch Exclusive Interview W/The Show’s Brandon Johnson

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW.

  One of the stars of Disney Channel’s newest show, Shake It Up!, R. Brandon Johnson (One Life to Live, Hannah Montana), gave CelebMagnet an exclusive video interview (below) all about the show which is set to premiere Sunday (8:30 p.m., ET/PT) and will be television’s first dance-driven sitcom.

Watch the interview:


Shake It Up!, a show about friendship and following one’s dreams, was created by Chris Thompson (Laverne and Shirley, Bosom Buddies, The Naked Truth) and executive-produced by Thompson and Rob Lotterstein (The War at Home, Ellen).

Gary Marsh, President and Chief Creative Officer of Disney Channels Worldwide said about the show:

Newcomers Bella Thorne and Zendaya make for one of the most likable and engaging BFF duos we’ve ever seen. And while buddy comedies have been around since the start of television, what makes Shake It Up unique is that this is the first time anyone has incorporated dancing into the underlying premise of a sitcom.

Other cast members include Davis Cleveland (Good Luck Charlie, Desperate Housewives) as Flynn Jones, Kenton Duty (Lost) as Gunther Hessenheffer, Roshon Fegan (Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam) as Ty Blue, and Caroline Sunshine (Marmaduke) as Tinka Hessenheffer.
