I just got a chance to chat with the very funny Aziz Ansari about his new film FUNNY PEOPLE. Ansari stars as Randy, a crazy comedian who uses a DJ, and drives his fellow performers crazy. The character has his own website, and they did a mock documentary about him. (I'm sorry, but I refuse to use the word 'mockumentary'. It just annoys me.) You know Ansari from his MTV show HUMAN GIANT, and as Tom Haverford in... ...

Is the universe’s hottest baby ever going to be born? Maybe not, if Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds keep fighting. Both were set to appear at Comic-Con last week - Johansson was there to promote Iron Man 2 and Reynolds, who was recently chosen to be the Green Lantern, was supposed to make an appearance - but the couple apparently got in a fight and Reynolds bailed. A source said, “It caused such a rift between them that Ryan refused to attend the conference and heSource: Scandalist RSS Feed
Let it not be said that the JoBlo.com crew doesn't have fun at Comic-Con. Sure we work our asses off but like Neil Diamond, we thank the Lord for the nighttime. That endless cycle of lots of work, drinking, staying up late, waking up early, not eating and standing out in the sun tends to make you a little crazy by Friday. Hence our final picture galleries. They are broken into three sections: Secret Pics,... ...

Seen Bruno yet?
Well, in case you haven't, Brittany Gastineau makes quite an interesting appearance. She says some not-so-nice things about Jamie Lynn Spears and generally looks like a not-so-bright person.
But guess what? She was just playing along!
That's right, the reality personality claims that she recognized Sacha Baron Cohen and thought "Oh, this is funny. This is a joke". So she went along with it.
Except she does come off badly. Really really badly.
Any chance that's why she's putting this spin on it? Do we believe her?
Check out the ultimate Bruno picture gallery!

On yesterday's season finale, the Spanish TV show Los Hombres de Paco (Paco's Men) killed off one-half of its very popular lesbian couple Silvia, played by Mari Aguilera, only a few hours after she was married to Pepa (Laura Sanchez).
I mentioned last week in an article that the wedding would turn violent, but I admit I didn't think Pepa or Silvia would be among the final body count. Four characters including Silvia were shot at the wedding, however, and Silvia died a sad, slow death in Pepa's arms. (Read a full recap of the finale here.)
There are rumors that Aguilera requested to leave the show (she has been with the cop drama for most of its eight seasons), but this hasn't been confirmed by the actress.
Theories abound as to why the writers chose to write her character off by killing her — from laziness, to maximizing ratings, to freeing Pepa up to love again eventually (the most optimistic interpretation by far). Regardless, Silvia has now become the latest in a long line of dead lesbians on TV and film, a fate that befalls lesbian/bi characters disproportionately more often than their heterosexual counterparts.
There will be more written about this in the future, but for now, leave your thoughts on Silvia's death in the comments below, and read other readers' reactions in our Los Hombres de Paco forum thread starting here.
