  • Best of Late Night TV: Celebrity Mean Tweets and Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Barbershop Quartet

    If you’re like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered. Here’s the best of what happened last night on late night.

    Mean Tweets Week is over on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” and these are the best of the best from stars like Jeff Bridges, Kristen Bell, Benedict Cumberbatch and Emily Blunt. Our favorite of the batch? “Kristen Bell seems like such a bitch, her vagina is probably an Alcatraz for penis.” Yikes.

    Chances are you already saw the video of Seth Meyers made her act out what would happen had she actually met Saint Mimi, and it was a hot mess. Not like “Glitter” hot mess, but close.

    Finally, the best part of last night on late night? The Rag Time Gals are back! This time singing a barbershop quartet version of “Bitch Better Have My Money” –– with Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a surprise guest. Um, amazing. No words. Just amazing.

  • The New ‘The Little Prince’ Trailer Is Emotional and Gorgeous

    The Little Prince
    A new international trailer for “The Little Prince” takes viewers on a fantastical voyage, offering breathtaking visuals and evoking lots of heartstring tugging along the way.

    The flick is the first feature-length, animated adaptation of the classic French novella, “Le Petit Prince,” by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, and boasts a stellar voice cast that includes Jeff Bridges, Rachel McAdams, James Franco, Marion Cotillard, and Benicio Del Toro.

    The full synopsis, per Variety:

    The multilayered animated tale centers around a little girl (Mackenzie Foy) who lives with her mother (McAdams) and gets initiated by her eccentric yet kind-hearted neighbor, the Aviator (Bridges), into a magical world where anything is possible – a world that the Aviator himself was initiated into long ago by the Little Prince (played by newcomer Riley Osborne).

    That “multilayered” descriptor also applies to the film’s animation itself, which is a mix of different media, including computer animation and intricate, papercut stop-motion. The painstaking level of detail on display in the trailer is jaw-dropping, every pixel packed with a visual punch. The clip also boasts a haunting, soaring score that will leave your heart full and your eyes a little misty.

    Watch the beautiful trailer below. “The Little Prince” is set to debut at the Cannes Film Festival, and has a July 29 release date in France. A U.S. release date is forthcoming.

  • Best of Late Night TV: Will Smith Beatboxes, Jeff Bridges Leads Epic Omming Session (VIDEO)

    Will Smith was on “The Tonight Show” Thursday night. Since Jimmy Fallon is a self-described “classically trained beatboxer,” he and Will beatboxed to “It Takes Two,” using an iPad app. It took them a while to get into it, but it’s good. Will also got the audience involved. It was a big night for performing to and with the audience, as you can see in other show videos below.

    Jeff Bridges – who has to be one of the best people on our planet – was on “Conan” and talked about his Super Bowl ad. You should watch his “Epic Omming Session” with Conan, Andy and the audience. It goes on for a while and Conan checks his watch about halfway through. Jeff also shared a bizarre “Big Lebowski” story. Turns out he had a rather R-rated prank pulled on him during The Dude’s dream sequence.

    Lily Collins was also on “Conan,” and it turns out she and Jeff Bridges are both big fans of Renaissance Faire. She also revealed in an interview that she would like to be a master baker, and she realized afterward that it sounded kind of dirty. Magic Johnson was on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” to discuss his first NBA title (35 years ago!) and he shared some advice for the Lakers, including “if you’re going to be bad, but all the way bad so we can get a good draft pick.” Magic and Jimmy also played some wiffle ball – with Guillermo as catcher – so check that out. Let’s just say there’s a reason he’s best known for basketball.

    Scotty Foley was on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” to talk about “Scandal” and how he tries to break the tension on set. He also discussed his odd Twitter fight with William Shatner. Scott thinks he turned Shatner from a hater into a “Scandal” fan.

    Seth Meyers will probably relive last night in his dreams, many times over, since he got to hang out with Victoria’s Secret supermodels Candice Swanepoel and Lily Aldridge. They discussed how dangerous the giant wings are during VS shows, showing how Ariana Grande got hit by one.

    Former SNL-er Brooks Whelan was also on “Late Night” and he was upset to miss the “babes” who were on the couch before him.

    Martin Short was on “Late Show with David Letterman” and he arrived on stage singing “Fly Me Through the Room” as he did just that on wires. Great intro! Martin is always a good time, and he talked about his book, dishing on a hilarious drunken dinner he had with Nick Nolte. He also shared a story about working with Larry David at SNL. Martin was only on one season, ’84-’85.

    “The Late Late Show” has a series of guest hosts and right now John Mayer is hosting. Thursday night, Bob Saget, Bob Weir and Mary Lynn Rajskub were guests. John and Bob Saget reminisced about when they met and did stand-up. Mary Lynn played a song she wrote about John. To close the show, John and Bob Weir performed “Althea.”

  • Best of Late Night TV: Ryan Reynolds’ Baby Name and Jimmy Fallon’s Trip To Saved by the Bell (VIDEO)

    saved by the bell reunionIf you’re like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered. Here’s the best of what happened last night on late night.

    Did you know Jimmy Fallon went to high School with the “Saved by the Bell” cast? Because he took a walk down memory lane with the likes of Zack Morris, A.C. Slater, Kelly Kapowski and Jessie Spano, and it was completely amazing. But did Jesse utter the iconic words “I’m so excited. I’m so excited. I’m so so scared?” You’ll have to watch to find out.

    Jimmy also unveiled the new 2015 Sports Illustrated swimsuit addition, featuring cover model Hannah Davis in all her glory. And you better believe Hannah herself made an appearance! Before walking off stage with Steve Higgins….

    Jeff Bridges visited “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and while there he treated “Big Lebowski” fans to a huge treat by performing “The Man in Me” (aka the movie’s theme song). The moment was one for the memory books –– partially because Jimmy was wearing a “Big Lebowski” sweater.

    The entire world is obsessed with what Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively named their baby (hint: it’s not Violet), but Ryan straight-up refused to tell the “Late Show” audience his big secret. However, he did admit that it’s a family name, and he mused on how he’s more in love with Blake than ever.

    Mila Kunis is also a rookie parent, and with new motherhood comes new bra sizes. Mila sat down with Conan to chat about her XXL breasts, and he asked her a plethora of awkward questions about her “chestal area.”

    Finally, Gabrielle Union hit up “Late Night” to talk about her feud with Charles Barkley. And she most definitely called him “the guy that insists on coming to to book club but didn’t read the book, but wants to dominate the conversation.” Balls in your court, Charles.
