Rudd, Mantzoukas, McBrayer, Marino, and Kenan Play World's Greatest Pick-Up Game

How much fun is this picture? So much fun! It's from the set of They Came Together and is the absolute best. Whoever is in charge of costume design for the movie deserves 12 Oscars. Of course, Jack McBrayer would wear a full cardigan and oversized khakis; of course, Ken Marino would wear camo cargo shorts; of course, Jason Mantzoukas would have a knee brace. With these plus the photos of Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler running through leaves, They Came Together is the most photogenic film in recent history. Check out more images below, one of which might feature a prosthetic penis. Can you spot it? [...]

A Day in the Life of Andy Richter, Pantsless Man of Mystery

Do you wonder about Andy Richter? Who does he eat lunch with? What car does he drive? How does he look sitting at his desk when he is working? What goes through his mind while walking to the bathroom? Does he have regrets? What is he grateful for? What does he dream about when he takes a nap on his office couch? You will find the answers to none of these questions in this day-in-the-life slideshow, but it's still fun to look at and wonder.

Conan O'Brien's Daily Schedule, in Pictures

It has never been this easy to stalk Conan O'Brien. I'd imagine. Just a guess, not personal experience. But if I WERE trying to sneak into his dressing room to smell the armpits of his leather jacket – for example – I could use this handy behind-the-scenes slideshow to figure out when he's out at meetings, and when it would be safe to slip into the dressing room and lick all the pieces of cut fruit on a platter. Or, other normal things. I have to go print these photos out and tape them to my wall with elaborate annotations and red yarn connecting them now bye.

Bill Murray Hangs Out With President Obama at B-Ball Games, Not a Big Deal

Bill Murray was appointed the Obama White House's official First Comedian this weekend in a ceremony held inside my imagination. Outside my imagination, Murray just happened to be at a basketball game the Obamas were attending because Michelle's brother is the head coach, and they were required by Celebrity Law to converse. Just trading stories about world domination, probably. Then Mick Jagger and Oprah strolled by and they all went out for beers. Sharing a couple drinks, a couple anecdotes about running the universe. It's whatever.

Ken Jeong Ruins/Improves GQ's Sexy Photoshoot

How do you do a sexy photoshoot with a subject like Ken Jeong, who isn't exactly a sex symbol? If you're GQ, you do your standard sex photoshoot with model Kate Upton and some pretty dude, and then you have Jeong attempt to ruin every photo. It's a pretty great formula, really, although now that I've got this association linked in my mind I'll probably start getting mildly aroused whenever Chang shows up on Community. Could be worse!

Community's First Episode Back Looks True to Form

Hark! The internet heralds the return of Community with photos from its first episode back, "Urban Matrimony and the Sandwich Arts,” and if photographs could sing, these would be harmonizing like angels. Troy's wearing Pierce's dad's ivory hair-helmet, Malcolm Jamal-Warner is doing something with three backup dancers that looks like proposing(!), and Pierce is dressing like a stockbroker. Perhaps he's planning to invest in Shirley and Andre's new musical-proposal-planning company, Do-Re-Marry-Mi? (Yikes. That was pretty bad wordplay.)

Jim Carrey's Amazing Burt Wonderstone Costume Gives Carell's A Run for Its Money

I was so sure that Steve Carell's costume for Burt Wonderstone was going to be the funniest magician costume we saw all January, but now I don't even know what to think about anything anymore after seeing Jim Carrey's getup (full image below). That flowing, two-toned hair. Those buckled leather wristbands. That goatee. That carabiner! Ahhh. Pitting feathered hair against leather, it looks like this movie is gonna be to magicians what Blades of Glory was to figure skaters.

Faux Lonely Island Holiday Albums Jet to the Top of Imaginary Christmas Lists Everywhere

Lonely Island staged these amazing-looking album covers for GQ, and all we can do about it is buy sweaters? SWEATERS? Will sweaters have us humming catchy tunes about incredibly mundane things all day? Will sweaters produce music videos that look like 1970s swingers party populated by Eurotrashy amateur DJs? Will sweaters introduce us to Justin Timberlake? (Note: if you know of a sweater that does any of these things, please tell me so I can buy it.)

There's also an interview with the Three Islandeers, a terrible alternate name I just invented, in which they reveal that Michael Bolton was the first and only choice for the [...]

SNL Photos Go Behind The Scenes of Charlie Day's Episode

This slideshow takes the viewer backstage at SNL, following Charlie Day during the preparation for last week's episode. Read the paper with Bobby Moynihan! Check the run-through sketch list with Jason Sudeikis! Cram into Lorne's office for the Monday meeting! See the filming of these promos from the other side of the camera! It's just like you're in the cast.

30 Photos of Bill Murray Golfing are Greater Than the Sum of Their Parts

I didn't initially have any interest in looking at thirty photos of Bill Murray playing golf, but that's only because I didn't realize Murray tees off in a bewitching fantasy land filled with forest creatures, ladies' church hats and a strange sort of quiet joy. I don't know for a fact that Wes Anderson is hyperventilating into a paper bag while scrolling through these, but it seems like a waste of his time if he's not.

New Project X Photos, Captioned By the Protagonist's Dog

New photos from Project X, Todd Phillip's epic party movie, have been released. We present them below, along with captions found hastily scrawled on the negatives in a canine hand.

11:18pm: I'm currently hiding out underneath the porch, waiting for this nightmare to be over. I have found a camera and taught myself to write so that I can document the events of this near-apocalyptic evening for posterity.

Steve Carell Looks Like a Smooth-Chested Lion in Burt Wonderstone

I wish they'd just go ahead and decree that every movie has to be about magicians already. This photo of Steve Carell in a plunging rhinestoned burgundy V-neck and a feathered blonde blowout, his costume for the upcoming Burt Wonderstone, is definitely doing the work of convincing me that that magicians are the best. Full image, replete with gold medallion, below.

Check Out Taran Killam As Greendale's New Choir Director

Oooh, it's the first look at Taran Killam's guest role on Community's Christmas episode, as an eager choir director in a plaid vest. Hopefully he'll play it just like an animatronic carnival ride character. In other Community news, look how cute they are when they won the TV Guide fan favorite award! So cute.

Ricky Gervais Is a Suicidal Clown

Here's a new picture that Ricky Gervais is considering using for the posters for his upcoming standup tour. It was apparently taken for Rolling Stone, but they didn't want to use it for the cover, and Gervais refused to provide them with an alternative.

His post on the Huffington Post about the pictures is kind of strange. Is it just me, or is Gervais getting a bit too self-serious? Between his obsession with telling everyone about his atheism and this undergraduate pondering about the meaning of art, he's starting to sound like that guy at a party who really wants you to think he's smart. Unless this sequence [...]
