| ’42′ Star John C. McGinley Talks Playing Red Barber, His Scrubs ‘Family,’ And Returning To TV Posted: 16 Jul 2013 10:59 AM PDT  You probably know John. C. McGinley as the prickly but lovable Dr. Perry Cox on Scrubs, Sergeant Red O’Neill in Oliver Stone’s Platoon, or consultant/Michael Bolton fan, Bob Slydell, in Office Space. The screen and stage veteran has also appeared in classics like Wall Street, Born on the Fourth of July and The Rock, to name a few. The versatile McGinley recently took on the role of iconic radio broadcaster, Red Barber, in the story of Jackie Robinson’s heroic road to the Brooklyn Dodgers, 42. The film, which chronicles the game-changing and epic movement in baseball’s history, also stars Harrison Ford and Chadwick Boseman and is available on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital Download July 16th. Celebuzz had the chance to chat with John about playing Red, what 42 means to today’s audiences, Scrubs memories, and more. John told us how he came to be a part of telling Jackie Robinson story, saying, “I read the script. I'm too old to play the baseball players, that ship kind of sailed unfortunately. I got the memo and so I tried to figure out where I could fit into this movie. I thought maybe I could take a shot at Red. So, I auditioned for it and I got it.” But how did he capture the unique cadence and descriptive language of the legendary Barber? He explains, “After I met with the writer/director Brian Helgeland, he issued me about 8 or 9 World Series broadcast CDs. And I have a rehearsal space down here that I call the laboratory. So, I took him down to the laboratory and I just kind of obsessed out on this guy's broadcast for almost 6 weeks, which is a little silly, but it was a really alien sound to my ear and I figured out why after I read so much about him.”
Director Brian Helgeland, Chadwick Boseman (42‘s Jackie Robinson), and John C. McGinley pictured, above, at Dodger’s Stadium movie night, July 13th. John, a baseball fan who admits he “bleeds New York Yankee Blue” also revealed that sports broadcasting very well may have been an alternate career path for him. “I went to Syracuse for a year up in Newhouse and then I realized that seemed like a way station towards being an actor. But yeah, I very much wanted to be Howard Cosell and I very much wanted to be Mel Allen and these iconic voices that really just consumed so much media when I was a kid and all of these sports. I wanted to be those guys.” When we asked John why it was so important for a younger generation to know about Jackie’s plight, he explained, “I think anytime we can either be reminded or introduced to pioneers of anything, whether it's the civil rights movement or people advocating for populations with special needs then that's an invitation that I think we should gladly accept.” McGinley is perhaps best known for his role as Dr. Cox in the longrunning hospital sit-com, Scrubs. And while he played the role for nine seasons and looks back fondly, he explained why he doesn’t exactly miss it. “I think if you don't get something out of your system in 200 episodes, you didn't get the memo. That was the greatest run ever, you don't get to do anything for 9 years ’cause the plug always gets pulled. So, do I miss playing Dr. Cox? I don't know, in some ways. But in other ways, I wrung that towel up pretty good.” He still calls Cox his most challenging job ever. Why? “Keeping it fresh, and the amount of volume of text that they would fly. 3 pages single spaced, we're going to shoot this is 25 minutes. Once a week, they would slide those massive rants underneath my door and it was beyond challenging,” he said of the acclaimed role. He also told us he keeps up with his Scrubs cast, which included Zach Braff and Donald Faison. “Yeah, Zachy. I see Zachy around. I talk to Donald every once in awhile. Kenny Jenkins and I remained friends. We just did a fundraiser for Sarah [Chalke]. So yeah, sure. Look, that fact of the matter is, if you work 5 to 14 hours a day, which is what Scrubs was you spend much more time with that ensemble of actors that you do your family. Just, there's only so many hours in a day. And so, if you sleep in 8 or 6, the show for 14, there's not much time for your family. They become your de facto family for 9 years.” One of John’s latest projects comes from Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence, a new series picked up by TBS called Ground Floor. It also stars Pitch Perfect star Skylar Astin, who John said “crushed it.” “I'm happy to be doing something in front of a live audience. It's so juicy,” he told us of his return to the small screen. McGinley has over 75 acting credits to his name and now that he’s mastered the portrayal of a sports broadcasting icon, we had to ask the celebrated actor his dream role. He confessed, “I'd like to be the leading man who get's the girl sometime. I've never been the leading man who gets the girl.” Own 42 on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital Download July 16th. |
| Justin Timberlake Unveils ’20/20 Experience: 2 of 2′ Cover Art, Set To Release Double Album Box Set Posted: 16 Jul 2013 10:05 AM PDT  Prepare for more Justin Timberlake. The singer has unveiled the cover art for his follow-up to this year’s The 20/20 Experience in conjunction with the new album’s iTunes pre-order. Aptly subtitled 2 of 2, the second installment’s album art is very much like the first, expect JT is standing in front of a black backdrop as opposed to white with golden letters superimposed on his portrait. Fans who don’t possess latest edition will also have a chance to own nab both albums at the same time, as the “Tunnel Vision” crooner is also set to release a double album box set. The art for the collector’s item features the original white image of the first album juxtaposed with the darker one to create a hybrid cover — seen below.
Previously, the former boy bander debuted his first single off the upcoming record, “Take Back the Night.” Lyrics for the new track are now available on Directlyrics. |
| Alex McCord Recaps Last Night’s ‘RHOC’ Episode: No Such Thing As A ‘No-Drama Zone’ Posted: 16 Jul 2013 12:14 PM PDT  Reality veteran Alex McCord taps into the story behind last night’s over-the-top episode of The Real Housewives Of Orange County. “Lydia and Alexis make a big deal out of having a ‘no drama zone’ as they wait for the other girls,and they both have big, full drinks,” McCord told Celebuzz. ”Notice that no sooner do they sit down, then in comes Lauri and the drinks are gone. Trust me, no Housewives producers will ever take a drink away from a cast, so this just means that the ‘no drama zone’ the girls created wasn't worthy of the final cut . “In my own experience, so many times we'd actually be enjoying ourselves whether with the family or the ladies, and those scenes hardly ever made it to air…so the no drama zone is the no TV zone, unfortunately.”

| Countdown to Emmys: A Quick Chat About Outstanding Drama Series Posted: 16 Jul 2013 08:24 AM PDT  For the next seven days, Celebuzz editors Andy Scott and Robert Kessler will be analyzing the contenders for this years Emmy nominations, announcing July 18 at 8:30AM. Today’s discussion: Outstanding Drama Series, in which we talk House of Cards, Scandal and the inevitable race between Breaking Bad, Homeland and Mad Men. Andy Scott: So, we’ve reached our final category: Outstanding Drama Series. Drama! So much drama. Robert Kessler: One thing I was surprised to learn is that House of Cards was submitted as a drama and not a comedy. AS: So, confession: I watched the pilot on Netflix last night. I lasted two minutes. Once Kevin Spacey started talking to the camera I was like, “No, this is crap. I can’t do this.” RK: I do not like it at all. AS: How is that show a Thing? RK: I have no idea. AS: It’s sort of like faux-prestige — a glossy show about DC politics that tricks people into thinking its cool. Note: I gathered this all from only two minutes. RK: It is very glossy, that is true. AS: Do you think it will be nominated, though? RK: No — but I can see why some people think it will. AS: Okay, good. I think there’s way too much competition, anyway. RK: Let’s just get the shows that absolutely will be nominated out of the way. Congratulations to Breaking Bad, Homeland and Mad Men. AS: You can go ahead and throw Game of Thrones in there, too. RK: I personally think that Game of Thrones will be nominated, but I’m not so sure it’s a lock. AS: I think after last year’s nomination — and this year’s buzz — it’s inevitably getting in. RK: The Emmys haven’t been super kind to the fantasy genre; however, HBO has, like, a million dollars to spend on for your consideration advertisements and I think it will be throwing all its weight into the dear old Lanisters. AS: Well, what does that leave us with, then? Oh God. Downton Abbey! RK: Good ole Downton. AS: What a shitty season. RK: I mean I agree that it was no 666 Park Avenue, but it’s still one of the best shows around and if Sybil didn’t upset you, you are a garbage human. AS: That ending, though. RK: :(:(:(:(:(:(:( AS: That show is quickly becoming a bad relationship you can’t get out of. You know you need to stop, but you’ve invested too much time in it to actually go through with it. Like, I could have played Shirley MacLaine’s character. “Hey! Bye!” RK: You don’t have the head to pull off a feathered fascinator. AS: Maybe you’re right. Having said all that, it’s getting, like, 17 nominations. RK: Exactly. There will be, however, no nominations for The Newsroom. AS: I don’t even watch that show, but I’m happy you said that. Well, we’re left with one slot, right? What gets it? RK: I think it comes down to The Good Wife and The Americans. AS: Ah, my beloved Good Wife. Am I too naive to think it could go to Scandal? RK: No, I don’t think you are. But it seems like more of a guilty pleasure show than an Emmy winning one, to me. Like, the president killed a Supreme Court justice with his hands. On television. AS: And it was amazing! RK: I think Emmy voters would feel a little silly voting for it is all I’m saying. AS: You’re right. Do you think The Americans has the prestige to pull off the surprise nomination? RK: I really just don’t know. My instinct is to say that, no, it won’t. But I really think it’s a toss up between The Good Wife and The Americans. AS: While you figure it out, let’s go ahead and talk about the big three locks before we wrap up. Between Mad Men, Breaking Bad and Homeland, what wins? RK: Choosing which of those three shows takes the prize is just a straight-up guess on my part. AS: I really don’t want Homeland to win again. I hate to say it, but season 2 was just absurd. RK: I will say that Homeland and Breaking Bad are obviously much flashier than Mad Med. And it’s easier to vote for a manic drug kingpin or a manic CIA agent than it is to vote for a very sad drunk. AS: Yes. Though I’m rooting for Mad Men. I really loved season 6, for all of its inconsistencies. I am also in the minority opinion that Breaking Bad just isn’t good anymore. It got too cocky. “Walt is BAD! Now, let’s do another stylish montage set to music!” RK: Hahaha. AS: Which means that Scandal is going to win. RK: Give it all to Scandal. AS: Everything.

| Stevie Wonder Boycotting Florida After George Zimmerman Verdict Posted: 16 Jul 2013 07:34 AM PDT  Grammy-winning legend Stevie Wonder said during a concert Sunday that he will not perform in Florida or any other state that allows the “Stand Your Ground” law. The announcement, which came shortly after George Zimmerman was acquitted in the murder of 17-year-old Trayvon Matin, was made during a performance in Quebec City, Canada. “I decided today that until the Stand Your Ground law is abolished in Florida, I will never perform there again,” Wonder said. “As a matter of fact, wherever I find that law exists, I will not perform in that state or in that part of the world.” He continued:
Of course, any reason to boycott Florida is legit — but this one rings especially true. Watch video of the announcement, below. |

| First Trailer for ’12 Years a Slave’ Released Posted: 16 Jul 2013 07:02 AM PDT  The first trailer for the highly anticipated 12 Years a Slave has been released. The film is directed by Steve McQueen and based on the autobiography published by Solomon Northrup in 1853; it tells the true story of Northrup – born a free man in New York, but kidnapped and sold into slavery in Louisiana. The film is expected to be a major contender this awards season and stars everyone, including Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender, Benedict Cumberbatch, Brad Pitt, Alfre Woodard, Paul Dano, Paul Giamatti, Sarah Paulson and Quvenzhané Wallis. Up until now, those involved were incredibly secretive about the project. When I asked Pitt about the movie in June he called it a “beautiful film,” but declined to go into more detail saying: “I’m gonna be talking about it [when it comes out] a lot.” Pitt himself plays a Canadian abolitionist, Cumberbatch and Fassbender both play slave owners who look menacingly evil, Ejiofor plays Northrup. 12 Years a Slave is set to come out October 18. |
| Kate Moss: ‘I’m Kind of a Celebrity Now’ Posted: 16 Jul 2013 09:36 AM PDT  After countless catwalks, fashion campaigns and magazine covers, Kate Moss has become much more than a model. “I’m not just a face,” she tells Allure‘s August 2013 issue. “Everyone’s a celebrity. But I’m kind of a celebrity now, so even though I’m not an actress, people know my name.” It’s a name that has transcended the decades — Moss, 39, is as much as a supermodel, style icon and shutterbugs’ muse as the day she stepped on the scene. But she didn’t always possess the confidence she does today. “I didn’t like my flat chest. I was like, ‘Oh, I’m going to have a tit job.’ Can you imagine?” she recalls. “I used to be so scared about, ‘Oh, I don’t want to show my body. Now that I’ve shown it, it doesn’t bug me about my moles, or ‘This isn’t big enough’ and ‘That’s not smooth enough.’”
Though she became renowned for her so-called “heroin chic” style in the 1990s, Moss says she never struggled with the drug or an eating disorder. “It was horrible, especially the anorexic thing,” Moss says. “The heroin, I was like, ‘Oh, it’s ridiculous. I know I don’t do heroin. Just because I wear a bit of black eyeliner that’s smudged….’ But the anorexic thing was a lot more upsetting, to be held responsible for somebody’s illness. I wasn’t anorexic.” Now Moss, who wed husband Jamie Hince in July 2011, has a simple approach to her style: “I try and be a little bit chic,” she says. “I wouldn’t wear sweatpants. I wouldn’t wear a twinset.” “With confidence, I think anyone can get a dress and make it their own,” she continues. “I don’t think you should have it off the runway and wear it like they want you to wear it…. I just think it’s boring. You have to make it your own. That’s what fashion is all about.” |
| Britney Spears: A Dating History Posted: 15 Jul 2013 06:01 PM PDT  Pop princess Britney Spears has been in the spotlight for almost 15 years, and ever since she debuted her hit single “…Baby One More Time” back in 1998, her love life has been front and center. Brit Brit has had a string of interesting flings and beaus over the years (some rumored, come confirmed), so we thought we would round up her very intriguing dating history. The amazing Ms. Spears, who recently released her music video for her new song, “Ooh La La,” is currently dating a fellow named David Lucado. The songstress has been linked to famous faces like Justin Timberlake, Kevin Federline, and even Colin Farrell in the past. Who else has she coupled up with? Flip through the gallery, above, to check out some of the men Britney Spears has been linked to romantically. “Ooh la la,” indeed. |
| ‘RHOC’ Recap: Vicki and Lauri Do Battle, While Tamra Questions Gretchen Posted: 16 Jul 2013 06:26 AM PDT  Those gals on Bravo's The Real Housewives of Orange County sure know how to leave their mark! Last week, Vicki Gunvalson was finally clued in on the allegations being spread around town former employee and friend Lauri Waring Peterson caught her in a quasi-threesome. To say Vicki had a nuclear meltdown was an understatement. With as much screaming as she did at Lauri on the slopes, you would've thought an avalanche might bury Lauri, Vicki, Tamra Barney, Alexis Bellino, Gretchen Rossi and Lydia McLaughlin. After the dust settled, we found out the true reason behind Lauri's motives: Vicki sided against her. According to Lauri, eight years ago Vicki passed around an e-mail her husband's ex-mother-in-law sent about him! Vicki took it upon herself not to notify Lauri about the e-mail. Instead, she sent the letter to another former housewife, who in turn circulated the information throughout their neighborhood. If that's the reason why Lauri's gunning for Vicki, isn't it eight years too little, too late for revenge? Lauri keeps on speaking about wanting to be truthful and expose Vicki for the person she is. Why not do this earlier on? If this doesn't show Lauri's true motives for telling Gretchen all about allegedly catching Vicki in bed with another man and woman, while married, then I don't know what does. Speaking of truths, Tamra started to wonder if Gretchen was being honest about the acting roles she claimed she snagged on the now defunct Malibu County. Heather Dubrow set Tamra's antennas on high alert when she informed the ladies, Gretchen never got the role. Tamra and Gretchen had a mini heart-to-heart about the tale Gretchen spun over not attending Tamra's day of choosing wedding dresses due to an acting gig. Gretchen maintained she got the role, but turned it down since she would just be playing herself. Who rebuffs their chance to be on television? Gretchen, doth protest too much my dear. Buzz Moments OMG!: Tamra getting her tongue stuck on a piece of ice at the ice/vodka bar. Only Tamra… Thank you, TV gods.: Vicki and Lauri deciding to put their differences aside to enjoy the trip. Mature move, but for how long? Awk-ward: Tamra and Lydia taking a potty break in the middle of the slopes. Really ladies? Did the woodland creatures need to see that?! Hotness: The ladies skiing get up. They sure know how to heat up in the snow! Fab-u-lous: The view on the mountain. Such a beautiful place, but surrounded with petty drama. Can. Not. Wait.: To see Vicki confront her on again/off again beau about the info Lauri gave her. Celebuzz Meter (1-10): 8.5 Is Gretchen lying about her role? Is Lauri’s motives out of spite from things of the past with Vicki? Sound off below! |
| Stacy Keibler Says Things Are ‘All Good’ After George Clooney Breakup Posted: 16 Jul 2013 08:29 AM PDT  Stacy Keibler on Monday assured the world (or at the very least, Extra) that she’s doing just fine after breaking up with George Clooney a couple of weeks ago. “There's nothing really dramatic that happened,” the 33-year-old said while promoting the downgrade-sounding Lifetime TV series, Supermarket Superstar. “It’s all good.” She continued:
Keibler and Clooney split earlier this month after a record-setting two years of dating. So the story goes, she wanted a kids and family; he very obviously did not. |
| After Failing to Reach Half His Goal, James Franco Extends His Indiegogo Campaign Posted: 15 Jul 2013 05:00 PM PDT  A basic premise of crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo is to take back control from the traditional studio system. It’s normal, everyday people who choose what they’re interested in and, therefore, decide what gets made. This is why each project has a time limit, if it doesn’t reach its funding goal within a predetermined amount of time, it doesn’t get made: applying a democratic ideology to the creative process. No one told James Franco this. James Franco, who is currently raising money to turn short stories from his book Palo Alto into three separate feature films, just announced he’s extending the deadline on his Indiegogo funding campaign by two weeks. The project was set to expire on Wednesday, but has not yet made even half of its $500,000 goal. I’ve made my personal thoughts on celebrity crowdfunding explicitly clear. Back in April I wrote, “there is something particularly awful about professionals who have already risen to the near top of their field asking for handouts as if they can’t get work any other way.” It is, however, the mark of a specific kind of egotist to not only request that people less fortunate than you pay for your vanity project, but to then extend the deadline when people fail to pledge enough money in order to make three dumb movies based on three of your dumb short stories. Perhaps there is a reason why, to date, less than $202,000 has been pledged. And perhaps that has something to do with the fact that the book on which the films will be based received very poor reviews. The Washington Post called it “a thin, hackneyed affair” while the Los Angeles Times quoted Dorothy Parker saying: “This is not a book to be tossed aside lightly, but to be thrown with great force.” I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that Franco has pledged to donate all the profits of these films to charity, which makes his campaign less, if only so ever slightly, obnoxious. Perhaps he should just donate the money and move on to something else. Something tells me he’ll land on his feet. |
| Kate Middleton’s Fanciest Hat Repeats Posted: 15 Jul 2013 05:30 PM PDT  Hats don’t come cheap. A bespoke creation can cost one up to $5000, so it’s no wonder the Duchess of Cambridge chooses to recycle some of her glorious headwear. At 2012′s Remembrance Ceremony, Her Royal Highness wore a Philip Treacy hat first seen at Prince William‘s 2006 Passing Out parade. Not only that, but Catherine rewore her black Diane von Furstenberg dress, a look we first spotted during 2011′s ceremony. “Certainly I think a hat can be worn more than once,” milliner Jane Taylor told Marie Claire about the DoC’s knack for recyling. “It really depends on the outfit and the versatility of the hat. If the hat suits the outfit I don’t see why it can’t be worn again and again.” Launch the gallery above to see which hats Catherine has dusted off for a few more uses, and do leave a comment noting your favorite look.
