These two seem to always be in front of me while I wait for my coffee. Inane doesn't begin to describe them!

LibertySugar — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 09:29:24 -0800

With an all-star cast including Jack Black, Neil Patrick Harris, John C. Reilly, Maya Rudolph, Rashida Jones, and Margaret Cho, "Prop 8 - The Musical" harmoniously chronicles how California came to pass its gay marriage ban.

Jack Black appears as Jesus Christ to point out that the Bible says a lot of interesting things, like you can stone your wife, or sell your daughter into slavery. He says that Prop 8's supporters simply pick and chose teachings from the Holy Book that support their social agenda. And Neil Patrick Harris points out that the gay wedding industry could save the US economy! This is all explained in song of course!

Check out the musical put together by Funny or Die. Do you think satire or song can help change the minds of those who voted to ban gay marriage?

Viral videos are such a huge thing now that even Hollywood big-wigs want to get into the action as a way of giving their big studio movies street cred. So at the MTV Movie Awards, Ben Stiller did a skit about coming up with a viral vid to promote his new movie Tropic Thunder with Jack Black and Robert Downey, Jr. How? Pretend to have the panda from Kung Fu Panda and Robert Downey, Jr.'s character Iron Man in the poster. His nephew Carl has a few choice bits of advice as well. . .

Jack Black Teaches Story Structure

Jack Black plays "The Story Wizard" in this heartwarming tale about two doofuses trying to work on a screenplay about Hitler meeting Jesus. You actually learn the (bare bones) elements of good storytelling, and you also get to hear Jack Black say things like "Jackle-y Blackle-y Doo!" and "Story-ory-O!"

Twin Peeps?

Looks like Pink and Bart Simpson share more in common than their outspoken and rebellious behavior. What do you think? Is Dopplegangr correct in thinking that these celebs look like the cartoon characters, puppets, or other worldly creatures and toys they've been paired with?

Jack Black Sings "Kiss From A Rose" On American Idol

GiggleSugar — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 09:50:00 -0700

Seal's "Kiss From A Rose," according to Jack Black, is from "the most sensitive" of the Batman movies: Batman Returns. He takes it on the chin from Randy "Yo Dawg!" Jackson, and doesn't really get a lot from Paula "I Love Goofballs" Abdul, but gets a thumbs up from Simon and Seal himself. Silly fun--and Jack's a good singer, too. (His Tenacious D bandmate plays the crying, rose-holding weirdo in the audience.)

Do funny guys finish last? Will Ferrell, Jack Black and John C. Reilly take a serious song-and-dance moment to explain why a comedian is "the saddest man of all" come Oscar night. (And yes, Will's sadness extends beyond the fact that he unwittingly decided to stick his finger in a light socket prior to the show.)

Pardon For Boxing Champ's Race-Based Conviction?

LibertySugar — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 07:00:00 -0700

The US House of Representatives is asking President Bush to issue a posthumous pardon of professional boxer, and one of the first celebrity athletes, Jack Johnson. When Jack Johnson became the first-ever black heavyweight boxing champion in 1908, many in the country went looking for "The Great White Hope" - a white boxer who could defeat Johnson.

In 1910, undefeated champion James J. Jeffries came out of retirement to fight Johnson, saying: "I am going into this fight for the sole purpose of proving that a white man is better than a Negro." Johnson won the fight, garnering the $225,000 prize, and race riots broke out across the country.

After trying to convict him for relations with a white woman who went on to become his wife, in 1920 a federal court convicted Johnson of violating the Mann Act, which prohibited transporting women across state lines for immoral purposes. He spent a year in a federal penitentiary.

The House resolution states: "He was a victim of the times and we need to set the record straight - clear his name - and recognize him for his groundbreaking contribution to the sport of boxing." If it passes the House, the Senate will vote on a similar resolution sponsored by John McCain.

If you're tired of photoshop making stars look perfect, then you need to check out these crudely hand-drawn posters from Belarus. They're like the anti-photoshop. Jack Black looks like a short woman, Drew Barrymore seems to be turning into a cyclops, and Lindsay Lohan...well, she looks like she's going to look if she keeps up her partying. Like the undead. (Thanks Adfreak!)
