Cobie Smulders In Talks for Vince Vaughn's Baby Making Comedy

by | August 28th, 2012

How I Met Your Mother star and Avengers plot heavy lifter Cobie Smulders is in negotiations to act opposite Vince Vaughn in Starbuck. Vaughn plays a sperm donator who learns he has sired 533 children. Smulders would play Vaughn's pregnant girlfriend who has heard the story of this prolific sperm donor but doesn't realize it's Vaughn. "I thought I was the only one who's received your donation. And now I learn you've been donating all over town. I don't know where your donations have been. I can't trust your donor," she'll say before storming off in a huff right before the end of the second act. Chris Pratt is [...]

'Dodgeball 2' Is On the Way

by | April 23rd, 2013

A sequel to the 2004 Ben Stiller-Vince Vaughn comedy Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story is in the early stages. THR reports that Stiller has hired Clay Tarver to write a script to the sequel. Tarver's only produced credit is writing the movie Joy Ride with JJ Abrams, but he's scripted a lot of comedies that are in the works or that never got made, including Quantum Hoops (about a nerdy Caltech basketball team), Men Making Music (about competitive barbershop quartets), and projects with Stiller and Mike Judge. Prior to this, the only public word on a Dodgeball sequel, beyond Stiller joking about it on Ricky Gervais's Extras, was [...]

by | April 12th, 2013

Here's this weekend's SNL host Vince Vaughn on Jimmy Fallon last night, recalling a prank they tried to play on Will Ferrell in a bar bathroom during his Fallon's first season on SNL in 1998. Hopefully, the unintended victim of this prank really was watching and accepts their apology.

Will Ferrell-Vince Vaughn-Owen Wilson: Together Again

by | August 3rd, 2012

Ma! The Meatloaf! Get it? It's like that part in Wedding Crashers where Will Ferrell's character asks his mother for meatloaf. (Remember when the "Frat Pack" was a thing?) Well, we'll get to relive that moment, as Will Ferrell has signed on do some funny acting in the Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson adult internship comedy, The Internship. He'll play Wilson's home electronic salesmen brother-in-law, who will likely be a real knucklehead. Also, hopefully he'll be hungry; hungry for… MEATLOAF.

Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn to Star Together in 'Daddy's Home'

by | May 10th, 2013

Old School stars Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn are set to reunite. Paramount announced yesterday that the duo will be starring alongside each other in Daddy's Home, a project Ferrell has been attached to for over three years. The movie follows "a mild-mannered radio executive (Ferrell) who strives to become the best stepdad ever to his wife’s two children, but complications ensue when their freewheeling, freeloading real father (Vaughn) arrives, forcing stepdad to compete for the affection of the kids."

Ferrell originally signed on to play the other part in 2010 with Ed Helms cast as the wimpy stepdad. Helms is no longer involved in Daddy's Home, which is being [...]

'SNL' Review: Vince Vaughn's Forgettable Night

by | April 15th, 2013

It seems a little unfair how unexcited viewers were headed into last weekend's episode of Saturday Night Live, hosted by Vince Vaughn. The Swingers and Wedding Crashers star is a reliably funny guy, and his fast-talking wiseass personality really should have been enough to build a strong episode around. Sure, Vaughn doesn't have a movie coming out until the summer, but the cross-promotional component to SNL has never seemed important to us before.

Yet the night had the energy of the ninth hour of a telethon. Even Vaughn seemed to sense it based on the way he worked the room during the monologue, dishing out hack crowd-work schtick and holding one man's [...]

by | March 12th, 2013

NBC announced today that Vince Vaughn will be hosting the April 13th edition of the show, with one-name R&B singer Miguel serving as musical guest. The next new episode is set to air on April 6th with host Melissa McCarthy and musical guest Phoenix. The April 13th episode is only Vince Vaughn's second time hosting SNL. He last hosted a whopping 14 years ago in late 1998, which is a really long time ago as evidenced by the fact that he was hosting to promote that Psycho remake he starred in and that Jimmy Fallon was brand new then.

Chris Pratt Is Pulling a Rob McElhenney and Gaining 65 Pounds for a New Movie

by | September 28th, 2012

Chris Pratt is playing a lawyer in Vince Vaughn’s new sperm donor comedy Starbuck, and he’s following in the footsteps of Rob McElhenney, who gained 50 pounds for last season of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, by trying to pack on 65 pounds before production begins in November. According to Vulture, Pratt has already gained over 40 pounds and has 25 left to go to reach his goal of 300. Some would say Robert DeNiro and Christian Bale are better-known examples of actors gaining weight for their roles than Rob McElhenney, but those are DRAMATIC actors. Rob McElhenney and Chris Pratt are comedic actors gaining weight for their [...]
