If You Had To...

This If You Had To is a bit of a departure from the others, because these two are actually kinda hot underneath all their crunky skank. The English have a knack for producing this "addicted pirate who is allergic to bathing" type. In one corner, I present you with Russell Brand. Apparently, he is the best thing about Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Did I mention he is a recovering heroin and sex addict? And in the other corner, Pete Doherty. (What is this dude not addicted to?) Who would you have dirty pirate sex with, if you had to. . .

Do, Dump, or Marry?

Jason Segel first charmed me as dopey Nick on Freaks and Geeks before moving on to other regular-guy roles in Knocked Up and the sitcom How I Met Your Mother. Now he's trying his hand as a leading (funny) man in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Segel isn't a typical Hollywood hunk, but I think he's endearing. What about you: Would you do, dump, or marry Jason Segel?

Ben Stiller did his best Tom Cruise interpretation, Tom Cruise took on a very surprising role, and the ensemble, including Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr., proved that Hollywood parody is alive and well.

So alive, in fact, that Tropic Thunder wins GiggleSugar readers' votes for the funniest comedy of 2008. Coming in at a very close second is Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Thanks to everyone who voted.

VMA Host Calls Bush a "Retarded Cowboy" - Over the Line?

CitizenSugar — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 07:09:44 -0700

British comedian Russell Brand hosted the MTV Video Music Awards last night and proved in the current climate, not even handing out trophies for music videos is immune from a healthy dose of politicization. Brand's assessment of President George Bush was more than pointed. He said:

Some people, I think they're called racists, say America is not ready for a black president. But I know America to be a forward thinking country because otherwise why would you have let that retard and cowboy fella be president for eight years? We were very impressed. We thought it was nice of you to let him have a go, because, in England, he wouldn't be trusted with a pair of scissors.

Shots of the audience, including Britney Spears and not-of-voting-age-yet Miley Cyrus, looked stricken by the riff. Brand went on to appeal “on behalf of the world," that people vote for Barack Obama.

Reviews of the performance have been mixed, with the LA Times saying, "The 2008 VMAs were poised to mark the return of Britney Spears. Instead, they will go down in history as the night when that English guy from Forgetting Sarah Marshall almost made the Jonas Brothers cry." One MTV fan said, "Russell WHO? I didn't realize this show was an Osama [sic] campaign rally. This British nobody looks like he was pulled from the ranks of the homeless - with his unshaved look, rats' nest hair-do and foul mouth." The New York Times was more appreciative of the "manic, intelligent English comedian." Were you?

Last week I polled you about Forgetting Sarah Marshall star Jason Segel, who most of you said you would marry. Then I realized that cutie-pie Paul Rudd also has a bit part in the movie! I've thought he was dreamy ever since he starred as Josh in Clueless; do you agree? Cast your vote below.
