After a 14-year absence from the stand-up scene, Martin Lawrence returns to the comedy stage in the Showtime special “Doin’ Time: Uncut” — with “uncut” being the operative word. “Uncut,” “uncensored,” “raw,” whatever you want to call it, Lawrence has never been one to hold back when he gets a mic in his hand. In fact, he was one of a few performers to receive a lifetime ban from “Saturday Night Live” for lewd language. And his first stand-up special in 1994, “You So Crazy,” almost received an Nc-17 rating which might have stood if the comedian didn’t fight against it.

Never again, TV Academy. Never again. I don't care if NBC has to do the Emmys in August because of football and if NBC is scared of going head-to-head with a competing award show. Doing the Emmys on Monday is just wrong. But we shall trudge on! Seth Meyers is hosting. Some fantastic TV shows and actors are nominated. Follow along. Comment below. Join the fun. Make the fun. 8:00 p.m. Et. That was some of the worst Red Carpet pre-show I've ever watched between E! and NBC. I never thought I'd miss Ryan Seacrest, but there ya go! 8:00 p.m. Seth Meyers was just outside being interviewed by Billy Bush just two minutes ago. How will he make it inside? How?!?!? 8:00 p.m. A countdown! 20 seconds to go. 8:00 p.m. And now Seth is inside on-stage. How Is That Possible, Billy Bush?!? 8:01 p.m.

Is it just me or is there something incredibly cool about a movie character who literally has a dangerous weapon as a part of their body, in place of an average ordinary limb or appendage? Since I can't get inside your brain and hear the answer to that question before I go ahead and talk more on the subject, I'm going to instead assume that you agree with me and proceed with this list, which quite frankly doesn't need much of an introduction. So screw your introduction. Let's jump right in, and talk badass weapon limbs! [Note: at least one of the following limbs is not safe for work viewing... and there are some spoilers ahead as well.] Ash - Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness We begin with the man who is quite frankly responsible for making weapon limbs so damn cool: S-Mart's finest employee and demon killer extraordinaire, Mr. Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell). It was in Evil Dead 2 that Ash's hand became possessed by evil forces that are anything but groovy,...

Oh, Paul Rudd. You so crazy. When the "Anchorman 2" star popped up on Conan O'Brien's show last night, he promised an exclusive new clip from the Will Ferrell comedy sequel which Conan pegged to go viral. Instead, Rudd reprised a running joke by cutting to a clip from a certain 1980's "E.T." rip-off/feature-length McDonald's commercial. Watch it here: The clip is, of course, from Stewart Raffill's 1988's family film "Mad and Me," unless "Anchorman 2" will include a wheelchair-bound tween and his creepy-looking alien pal. Meanwhile, "42" star Harrison Ford talked to Et about his previously revealed cameo in "Anchorman...

Oh, "The Amazing Race." You so crazy! And yet... You also so predictable! Sunday (November 11) night's episode of "The Amazing Race" was, for the most part, the best episode of the season. By a lot. It featured exactly the sort of travel intrigue that I usually relish, exactly the sort of genuinely challenging, but also amusing, tasks that I normally endorse and, in Moscow, one of those locations that's probably in my Top 5 of dream destinations. It also included both semi-amusing bickering between teams, but also ample warm-hearted unity between teams. Total success, right? ...

Oh, Mittens. You so crazy. During today's taping of Live! With Kelly And Michael, Mitt Romney named an actor he would like to play him in a movie, if one were ever made. While they don't look anything alike and maybe he should have hit him up 25 years ago, Romney said that Gene Hackman would make a good him. Maybe he's thinking of Lex Luthor... He followed that up by saying that Michelle Pfeiffer should play his wife, Ann. That I can see. The real life subject always has a better...

Releasing a theatrical film without an MPAA rating is a challenge, to say the least. Many major theatrical chains will not screen unsanctioned films, so it was a shock to many when The Weinstein Company elected to release Bully, its heartwrenching and critically lauded documentary about the timely issue of teen bullying, as an unrated film rather than submit to the MPAA’s R rating. TWC argued that the R rating — presumably applied for the film’s repeated profanity — would exclude the very audience that most needed to see this documentary — high-school teens. Their end-around, buttressed by a national online campaign and celebrity support,...

Sorry for the delay everybody, I literally got stuck in a room full of crazy people and wasn't able to get back in time to give you the goods. To make up for it, I took some fairly good pictures off my TV for you.
Now, can we talk about what the hell the cast members must have done to piss off whoever creates these group challenges last night? If it weren't bad enough that couples were being escorted off the show for bad behavior, now everyone is dropping like flies due to injuries! Ok, can't lie: Last night's show was finally exciting. While I'd like to say it wasn't because everyone's reaction shots to their fellow contestants' bodies slapping the water were incredible, I'd be lying.
Douchebaggery
This episode was thankfully light on the douche. In fact, my main tatted brother, Abram, showed off his sensitive side. Apparently his...

Last night was the premiere episode of MTV's latest version of The Challenge: Battle of the Exes. It's been a while since I've made it through an entire season of one of these, mostly because somewhere towards the middle I usually end up feeling like I'm about to catch an Std through the screen or there ends up being too much Wes camera time. I would rather be locked inside a room with this video playing on repeat than have to watch that ginger dill-hole for five minutes.
This season I've decided to devote my time to the show because after interviewing Rachel Robinson and Aneesa Feirrera, the show's only gay team, I was intrigued by how Rachel described her feelings upon coming home. Also, who am I kidding, I don't really need an excuse to watch something like this; I live for it.
Since this is the first of our snap caps,...

Oh Japan. You so crazy. This week's dose of Japanese action erotica is Lust Of The Dead, or Rape Zombie, according to other sources. Genre regular Asami and Av performers Alice Ozawa, Yuria Hidaka, Riri Kouda, and Saya Kobayashi help 'round out' the cast of a bevy of a beautiful babes left with no choice but to fight off hordes of horny zombies after nuclear fallout.The 'movie' did screen at the Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival. Otherwise it will be a direct to video release this March in Japan. The trailer is after the break and as is the rule this is Nsfw or your moms. ...

It seems like every generalized group has its own "S*** they Say" viral video these days - white girls, black girls, girls in general, playas, hatas, mamas, daddies, guys who take a left turn on Broadway at 4:30 on a Tuesday afternoon... the list is voluminous.
But one group has been horribly, horribly under-represented: Aliens. Where are the aliens? Thankfully, one brilliant YouTuber has rectified this horrible oversight with "S*** Wookiees Say." And it is amazing.
Remember that time Chewbacca was all, "Waaaargh?" And then that other time, when he was totally tripping, and was, like, "Rrrrrooowwaaagrrraa?" And then when he said, "Grrr Ugh Aroo," like, Right in front of Walrus Man.
Oh Chewbacca, You So Crazy.

Are you a woman? Do you sometimes find yourself in an uncomfortable toilet situation? You know the kind… one too many nectarines for lunch, your man takes you to a romantic dinner, and the next thing you know, you leave Road Runner dust in wake as your feet time travel to the toilet, desperate to make it to the bowl in time before the elevator doors of your ass cheeks open on the turd floor. 40 minutes later, you delicately tip-toe out of the stall, run your hands through the Dyson Airblade a couple of hundred times, and mosey on back to your table, where you find your date, pushing some goulash around on his plate, unable to make eye contact with you. Yes. That uncomfortable toilet situation. Well good news, women who haven’t had their assh*les sewn up! (Ed. Note: I have.) A product called “You Go Girl!

Go on Hollywood, live dangerously and add another live-action adaptation of a princess fairy tale to the top of the pile. You so crazy! So far we've had the dreadful Tim Burton version of Alice in Wonderland, a bazillion upcoming versions of Snow White, and now there's a Cinderella project in the works that has the Mickey Mouse studio eyeing Never Let Me Go director Mark Romanek. This retelling will be based on a script by The Devil Wears Prada's Aline Brosh McKenna, and according to Deadline, the mouse house is making this one a big priority. Hopefully Disney knows how to play their cards right. Romanek's last encounter with a money-maker left him walking away from The Wolfman due to creative differences, which...

The first week of August (and the official beginning of the end of summer) rolled by in fine fashion; sure, it was at times an agonizingly slow news week, but the first looks, surprise developments, and Wtf? revelations kept things bouncy. Head into the weekend with your head held high, week. You gave us plenty to munch on. For starters: The terms "Brett Ratner" and "Oscars" in the same sentence? You so crazy!

We’re almost at the end of our Hunger Games Book Club, and for our second to last installment we’re celebrating everything we love about Peeta. In chapters 19-22 Katniss stumbles upon her frenemy camouflaged like dirt and dealing with a massive leg wound. They begin to trust each other and fight for their mutual survival, with a strategy that involves fake romance…except that their feelings may just be real after all. The boy with the bread all but owns this section, so let’s toast his sweet, loving ways, shall me? (Next week we finish up with Chapters 23-27!)
1. Peeta is suddenly sexy..and an ally. He asks Katniss, “You here to finish me off, sweetheart?” (Page 252) when she discovers him hidden by camouflage. Who knew a baker’s son could be so charming while half-dead? Hint to all the fellas out there: don’t talk to...

Oh, Paul Rudd. You so crazy.
After recently getting a hold of the first trailer for Paul Rudd's latest starring vehicle, we now exclusively have ourselves the debut poster for the Sundance favorite, 'Our Idiot Brother.'
As the titular 'Idiot Brother', Rudd plays a hippie farmer who gets arrested after selling weed to an officer in uniform. When he gets out, he goes back to live with his mom and three sisters as he tries to get back on his feet while making one painfully stupid decision after another because he blindly swears by the kindness of others and is generally just dumb.
Co-starring Emily Mortimer, Steve Coogan, Zooey Deschanel, and Elizabeth Banks among others, hit the jump to see the poster in full.

As we've already teased, tonight's Private Practice finale is absolutely deranged, thanks to loco for choco puffs Katie Kent (Amanda Foreman) and her dastardly designs on poor, pregnant Violet. In honor of tonight's big season-two ender, the articulate and gracious Amy Brenneman kindly shared a few minutes of her day to talk about the madwoman, the baby and Vi's fate... What can you tell us about the baby-daddy situation? There's a scene in the season finale that is just lovely where Violet really does open up to the possibility of being with Pete, and I think that both men have said to her, "I want to be with you, and I don't care if it's mine or not." I think Shonda [Rhimes]...
