Will Forte and Tim Robbins just signed on to replace Ty Burrell and Dennis Quaid in supporting roles in writer/director Dan Schechter's big-screen adaptation of Elmore Leonard's 1978 novel The Switch, according to Variety.

by | April 25th, 2012

Though they've been actively touring, and rocking face-ears live and in person, they've been out of the spotlight for about six years, since it was revealed that The Pick of Destiny's destiny was to do very poorly. Well they're back, Jack (Black)! And they need to make sure their new album, Rize of the Fenix, rocks so hard that it harms listeners' long-term health. Good news: It does! It comes out on May 15th, so until then, enjoy the star-studded clips, above and below.

by | September 28th, 2011

Portlandia comes back to IFC for its second season on January 9th, and it sounds like they're keeping the bar set pretty high, at least in terms of guest stars. I mean, it's tough to argue with this list: Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg, Penny Marshall, Jack McBrayer, Tim Robbins and Amber Tamblyn. And yes, Kyle MacLachlan is returning as the mayor of Portland, and of my heart.
