The Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect is calling on Tim Allen to apologize for his controversial comments that compared being a conservative in Hollywood today to “1930s Germany.”
In a statement posted to Facebook , the non-profit’s executive director, Steven Goldstein, said, “Tim, have you lost your mind? No one in Hollywood today is subjecting you or anyone else to what the Nazis imposed on Jews in the 1930s – the world’s most evil program of dehumanization, imprisonment and mass brutality, implemented by an entire national government, as the prelude for the genocide of nearly an entire people.”

Update: PricewaterhouseCoopers released another statement about the Oscars snafu on Monday. "PwC takes full responsibility for the series of mistakes and breaches of established protocols during last night's Oscars," the new statement reads. "PwC partner Brian Cullinan mistakenly handed the back-up envelope for Actress in a Leading Role instead of the envelope for Best Picture to presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. Once the error occurred, protocols for correcting it were not followed through quickly enough by Mr. Cullinan or his partner. We are deeply sorry for the disappointment suffered by the cast and crew of La La Land and Moonlight. We sincerely apologize to Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, Jimmy Kimmel, ABC, and the Academy, none of whom was at fault for last night's errors. We wish to extend our deepest gratitude to each of them for the graciousness they displayed during such a difficult moment. For the past 83 years,...

While Hollywood gears up for Sunday night’s Academy Awards — which will cap off a buzzy award season honoring entertainment heavyweights — Twitter users are busy brainstorming a slew of categories they think should be recognized in the annual ceremony.
Tagged #OscarsWeNeed, the following standout tweets range from funny to downright poignant — serving as an opportunity to advocate for the creation of more accurate movie trailers (misleading trailers seem to the bane of one Twitter user’s existence) as well as shedding light on the lack of diversity in the film industry (both onscreen and behind-the-scenes).

There's nothing more annoying than an uninvited guest ... even when it's Jimmy Kimmel!The late night host spent some quality time with Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, after he popped in for in impromptu "sleepover" at their house with his sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez.After a quick tour of the power couple's beautiful estate, Jimmy sits down with the country duo to look at some special pictures."You know, can I tell you something? I can see from these photographs that you guys are really in love," Kimmel tells the pair while perusing their family album. "Yeah, we've been married 10 years," McGraw replied. And that's when things got weird! "I love this one of you with your shirt off," the comedian said, pointing at a shirtless shot of McGraw.

Sarah Silverman has landed a recurring role in the second season of Showtime’s Masters of Sex. Silverman will recur in the guest-starring role of Helen. No word about Helen’s function in the show, but we’re guessing she has something to do with sex. Production on season two is currently underway in Los Angeles, and will premiere Sunday, July 13th. Silverman received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Leading Actress in a Comedy Series for The Sarah Silverman Program, and was also nominated for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for Monk. But these days she’s maybe best known for the Emmy she won — for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics, as one of the writers of that hummable tune I’m Fucking Matt Damon for ABC’s late night show Jimmy Kimmel Live! Silverman will next be seen starring in Seth MacFarlane’s soon-to-be released feature A Million Ways to Die in the West...

In this day and age, there are a lot of online outlets delivering great video content in the realm of entertainment. One such group is Jash, a comedy collective featuring original content by partners Michael Cera, Tim & Eric, Sarah Silverman, Reggie Watts and producer Daniel Kellison (of Jimmy Kimmel and David Letterman) with additional contributions from their many friends. This time Cera is behind the camera for a short film called Failure, and he also stars in the story of a young man unnerved by a very peculiar and stalker-esque girl played by Aubrey Plaza (it's her eyes that really sell the fear). Watch below! Here's Michael Cera's short film Failure from Jash, via The Playlist: For more great content, check out the Jash YouTube channel and see what else the group has cooking.

On Tuesday's "Watch What Happens Live," Sarah Silverman was subjected to host Andy Cohen playing a clip of a teenage Silverman singing "Bye Bye Mama" on "Community Auditions," a Boston public access show.
Silverman, who stars in the recently launched Jash network alongside Tim & Eric, Reggie Watts and Michael Cera, seemed hardly fazed by the video. "You’re supposed to cringe when you see old stuff," she said. "Otherwise, you haven’t changed."
In 2008, Silverman appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" where her then-boyfriend Kimmel teased her by playing the same clip.
Check out the video below to see the full video from Silverman's youth.

Tom Hardy is set to star in Cicero, a movie about the rise of Al Capone. While I do think he looks great in a suit, I think he looks much better out of one. Why wasn't he in Magic Mike?
If you want to interview Channing Tatum, your day will involve drinking whiskey from a shared bottle, shooting enormous handguns, visiting his office in a nasty part of town, and seeing him do the lift scene from Dirty Dancing with his pit bull, who knows her cue.
Lindsay Lohan may really need to get that job playing Elizabeth Taylor, because she owes the IRS $93,000 from 2009.
That thing in New Hampshire played out exactly like everyone thought it would.
It sounds as if the Supreme Court is going to be reluctant to loosen the restrictions on nudity and certain curse words before the watershed. Honestly, I get their point, but...
