If you’re a fan of both this year’s Oscar favorites and the terrible humans of Jersey Shore , I’ve got just what you want to gape at with a baffled stare: the cast of brain-wrecking MTV show recreating scenes from this year’s Best Picture batch, thanks to Mr. G. Lopez (TBS, very funny). It’s like watching the most acclaimed films of 2009 through orange glasses smeared in hair gel. That is, it’s awful–unless you’re really excited about hearing The Situation get involved in a “who’s on first?” routine.

I’m afraid you’re going to have to amend your I’m with Cancer mural. The film, which began shooting last month in Vancouver, has lost star James McAvoy and replaced him with another actor from the stable of decent young actors who aren’t so manly as to be unrelatable to we timorous weaklings, Joseph Gordon-Levitt (sorry, maybe next time, Elijah). Producer/co-star Seth Rogen released a statement to MTV regarding the actor’s departure from the 20-something-writer-battle-cancer tale: It’s incredibly unfortunate that circumstances outside of everyone’s control have taken James away from the project, but, with James’s blessing, we were able to have Joseph step in to take on the [lead] role of Adam. We all look forward to working with James in the future. Nice try with the “unfortunate that circumstances outside of everyone’s control” thing, Seth, but we know how these things work. It’s never outside of everyone’s control. What’s the real story? Does James McAvoy not believe in cancer?

All shed a tear for Mario Lopez, for tomorrow he shall have to let those words pass his lips on Extra in the wake of this : Justin Timberlake has nabbed the coveted role of the male lead in “Bad Teacher,” the Cameron Diaz comedy Jake Kasdan is directing for Columbia. Molly Shannon and Eric Stonestreet (”Modern Family”) are also joining the cast. The script, by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, follows a foul-mouthed, gold-digging seventh-grade teacher who, after being dumped by her boyfriend, sets her sights on a colleague (Lucy Punch) who is dating a substitute teacher, who also is the scion of a watch fortune. Jason Segel was cast in the supporting role of a gym teacher, with John Michael Higgins slotted as the principal. Tomorrow: How “Bad Teacher” has made Justin a “bad boyfriend”–and the kiss that left Jessica Biel in shambles!

Curious about what’s going on with that Zoolander sequel we heard about last week ? Yeah, neither am I. Zoolander is a decade old and I’d pretty much forgotten about the movie and character entirely until a few days ago. It turns out that’s the plan for the new movie, too: We have a new story idea that we feel excited about and we’re going to try to go forward,” [Stiller] said. “The beginning of the movie is [set]… 10 years later, and Derek & Hansel are literally forgotten. Nobody even knows who they are, so they have to re-invent themselves.” Clever, Stiller. But was there any difficulty for you in coming back to making that stupid face after all this time? “Well I think it has to be [a 'Zoolander' for a new generation],” Stiller explained. The biggest roadblock for Stiller’s return to the character has been the absence of its creator. “The tough thing over the years has just been that Drake Sather, who created the character, is not around anymore,” he explained. Sather, a former “Saturday Night Live” and “Dennis Miller Show” writer, died in 2004 in an apparent suicide. “For a long time that was, for me, that hardest thing to figure out how to move forward through.” That’s nice. Drake Sather’s soul can rest well knowing it took a few years before Ben Stiller decided, fuck it, I’ll just make another Zoolander movie anyway. What, are we going to abandon every premise as soon as its creator tragic kills themselves? Then what would we do when the Night at the Museum guy realizes the monster he’s created and eats a bullet, stop making them? Preposterous. This generation needs its Zoolander . Every generation needs its Zoolander .

When you find my body dangling limply over my bedroom floor, I hope everyone will accept and understand this Brendan Fraser slapstick comedy poster as my suicide note. ‘Furry Vengeance’ Poster [IMPA]
