Last night during the MTV Movie Awards, Aubrey Plaza ran onstage and tried to grab Will Ferrell's "Comedic Genius award" out of his hands during his acceptance speech (at the 1:53 mark in the above video). She had the title to her upcoming movie The To Do List written in marker on her chest, and quickly returned to her seat after about ten seconds of trying to take Ferrell's award. MTV is claiming that the stunt was unplanned and that Plaza was removed from the premises after the incident, but she did appear in the audience later in the show so that could be bullshit. Watch the video [...]

Here's the brand new trailer for A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III, an upcoming movie that stars Charlie Sheen, Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, and Aubrey Plaza, and was written and directed by Roman Coppola, who co-wrote Moonrise Kingdom and The Darjeeling Limited with Wes Anderson. If you've ever wondered what it would look like if all your favorite people made a movie with Charlie Sheen, this is it.
For how deadpan she often plays, Plaza tends to be endearingly nervous on late night talk shows. I guess she really does "live everyday in fear… to the fullest." She does a great job playing along with Letterman, who seems to enjoy how uncomfortable she is. I guess Aubrey is just "Simply Irresistible". (You know, like the Robert Palmer song? It had that video? Obviously "Addicted to Love" is more famous but that wouldn't have made any sense. Should I have said, "I guess Aubrey might as well face it, she's addicted to love?" That would've been dumb. )
I don't know if it's the blend of comedy with a magical element, the combination of Aubrey Plaza, Mark Duplass and Jake Johnson, or the sweetness that's natural from the producers of Little Miss Sunshine, but I'm totally into this trailer for Safety Not Guaranteed, which comes out on June 8. Safety may not be guaranteed, but hilarity sure will be! (You're physically bent over and out of breath from laughter now, right? Because I think that was my best post ending ever.)
Here's the first released clip from The To Do List, a new comedy starring Aubrey Plaza and written/directed by Maggie Carey (Funny or Die Presents) that's set to hit theaters August 16th. Bill Hader, Donald Glover, and Andy Samberg play supporting roles, and you can see them for two seconds each in this clip.
Aubrey Plaza stopped by Conan last night and shared two pretty unique stories: 1) She stole a document from Joe Biden's desk during a visit to the White House, and 2) She had an ex-con fan paint a creepy giant naked portrait of her. No one here has had both of those experiences, right? I think it's safe to say Plaza is the world's only Vice President desk thief/creepy nude portrait subject.
Can that story be an episode of something? Leslie and April taking a limousine, for whatever reason. Leslie will be all excited because she doesn't get to be in limousines that often and April will be all like, "Leslieeeee. I don't like it in here. It's creepy and too fancy. I think that man is going to kill us." Shenanigans ensue. Spec script completed. Below watch what happens when Amy Poehler gets the cigarette she so coveted.
Sporting the two-colored hair thing gals have these days, Aubrey Plaza was on Conan last night to discuss Safety Not Guaranteed and old people. Apparently, a few days ago she used her Young Hollywood Award acceptance speech to tell old people where they can shove it. The above clip is NSFW if you work around a lot of old fogies (i.e. an assisted living residence, a public library, the prune juice aisle of a very prune juice-heavy grocery store). Below, Plaza uses the most brilliant clip introduction strategy ever: just pretend your film has dinosaurs in it.
…now that SNL's Fred Armisen, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader and Seth Meyers have joined Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Russell Brand, and Reggie Watts for the March 4 event? Maybe a gallbladder or a couple yards of small intestine. Oh, also Parks & Rec's Aziz Ansari and Aubrey Plaza will be there. So we're getting into spleen/pancreas territory. What's that? Maya Rudolph, Bob Odenkirk, Hannibal Buress, Sarah Silverman, Kristen Wiig, Peter Serafinowicz and David Cross are going to be there too? Take my liver and my stomach. And lastly, Muppet commentators Statler & Waldorf will be in attendance. HEART.
"In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is the best album ever made and all other albums stink, and if you don’t agree, I’ll fight you."
- April Ludgate, of Parks and Recreation fame, writing for Vulture about her appreciation for Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea on the album's 15th anniversary (Parks an Rec co-creator Mike Schur may have helped).
Aubrey Plaza and John C. Reilly are set to star in a new movie called Life After Beth, according to The Guardian. The film is a zombie comedy written and directed by Jeff Baena, David O. Russell's co-writer on I Heart Huckabees and Plaza's boyfriend. Few plot details are known about the project, but Aubrey Plaza tells The Guardian, "It's a really fucked up movie." That's pretty surprising because most zombie movies aren't fucked up and are pretty clean and family friendly, so it's nice to know Life After Beth will be taking a different path. Production will presumably take place during Aubrey Plaza's hiatus from Parks and Recreation this [...]
Maggie Carey's 90s-set teen sex comedy, The To Do List, has been set to be released on February 14, 2013. Filmed all the way back in the summer of 2011, it's been a long time coming. As the preview above explains, it's about Aubrey Plaza's character making a list of sex stuff to do before she goes to college. It's like The Bucket List, if that bucket was filled with lube.
There’s a reason Aubrey Plaza keeps getting cast as interns — as eyerolling Pawnee Parks Department lackey April Ludgate on NBC’s Parks and Recreation and as the defeatist, toilet-scrubbing Seattle Magazine intern in the upcoming Safety Not Guaranteed, and in real life as well, in NBC’s famed page program. According to Safety director Colin Trevorrow, the 27-year-old actress is an everygirl, a face for the masses of underpaid, overeducated young workers of the world.
“Aubrey represents a whole generation of young women who are very disaffected,” Trevorrow said. “Not just women, a whole generation. And disaffected for a reason. They don’t see anything out there for them, and [...]
