‘Letters to Juliet’ trailer: I wonder if love will triumph in this movie
Ugh, I hate myself for this being true, but: I will totally go see Letters to Juliet. Romance Travel! Amanda Seyfried! I’ve seen Mamma Mia! more than once, so I guess it’s the natural evolution of my own shame spiral.

I’m really curious what could possibly be in the movie that wasn’t revealed in this trailer,
Clip du jour: Extreme Dagobah!
“Dago-Badass” is what I’m naming my first child. This video rules:

Will we ever tire of Star Wars jokes, PopWatchers? Maybe. But not today.
‘New Moon’ morning TV roundup: Robert Pattinson officially proud of his abs, Regis Philbin officially Team Jacob
Could Taylor Lautner have surpassed Robert Pattinson in popularity overnight? If you caught Lautner on Today and Live with Regis and Kelly this morning, you might think so. He was greeted by louder screams than Pattinson, both in the Plaza, where Today made Lautner sign autographs before Matt Lauer got him to admit only that
Robert Pattinson to need even more security following Letterman appearance
Robert Pattinson made his Late Show with David Letterman debut last night, and his choice of anecdotes will no doubt encourage Twihards to Twiharder. Though he couldn’t explain why he elicits such a strong response from fans wherever he goes  — ”I don’t know, maybe it’s like a kind of scent or something” — he shared a
‘Percy Jackson’ found himself a new trailer
The international trailer for Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (long enough title?) hit the Web today. The fantasy movie is directed by Chris Columbus, who helmed the first two Harry Potter installments. I dig the title character casting of Logan Lerman, who’s so far managed to stay under the radar despite impressive
Clip du jour: The 100 best lines from ‘The Wire’
Every fifth word here is NSFW, but this compilation is too awesome not to post. These are (among the) 100 greatest quotes from The Wire. It also spoils the entire series, roughly, so if you hate curse words/haven’t seen The Wire, this isn’t for you.

Okay, PopWatcher Wire fans: Did this video include your favorite line?
Tim Burton brings us 30 seconds of awesome
Any New York-based Tim Burton fan should rush over to 53rd Street sometime between Nov. 22 and April 26, 2010. Why? The Museum of Modern Art will be running a retrospective exhibition on the imaginative director. And, if you ask me, an exhibit on the man behind Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Charlie
Can Heather Locklear’s Amanda Woodward bring ‘Melrose Place’ back to pop-culture prominence?
Everyone ready for the return of Amanda Woodward? Yes, Heather Locklear is debuting on the revamped Melrose Place tonight and I can’t wait. The only tragic thing about this reboot so far (other than the acting “skills” of Ashlee Simpson and what’s-his-name who plays Auggie) is the low ratings. This show is trashy, addictive fun (and I’m  not
‘New Super Mario Bros. Wii’ review: Saving the princess is somehow still fun
Despite its ungainly title, there really isn’t anything all that “new” to New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the umpteenth entry in Nintendo’s vast Mario empire. If anything, it’s a deliberately nostalgic, graphically updated throwback to the mustachioed plumber’s old 2-D, side-scrolling adventures. Yet again, Princess Peach is kidnapped by the big bad Bowser and his
New ‘Nine’ trailer: Anyone rooting for a Kate Hudson comeback?
The new trailer for Nine is all Kate Hudson most of the time. Yes, we get shots of Daniel Day-Lewis, Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, and Fergie’s breasts, but it’s Hudson’s “Cinema Italiano” production number that’s the focus. Which makes me wonder if Hudson herself is supposed to be a draw, or if the filmmakers just
Seth Meyers responds to Sarah Palin on Letterman
For someone coming off a rough weekend, Seth Meyers sure seemed chipper on The Late Show last night. Note to all male guests: Wearing a suit is always a good idea! Anyway, Meyers responded to Sarah Palin’s account of how her guest-appearance on SNL went:

Snerk. (Alec Baldwin also responded, though less jovially.) Do you agree
Clip du jour: ‘New Moon’? Or Three Wolf Moon?
Aubrey Plaza is currently killing it on Parks and Recreation, so I’m glad she still finds time to squeeze in silly Twilight spoofs, such as this:

I particularly like the constant lip-biting and the supernaturally disgusting soda-drinking. And you, PopWatchers?
Celeb-studded Bible audio book: Dylan McKay as Judas? Holy moly.
Better watch your back, Mel Gibson — there’s a new star-studded Bible in town: A 79-CD audio version, in fact, with quite the illustrious cast. There are a few obvious choices — ahem, Jim Caviezel as Jesus? — but a lot more unexpected ones: Jason Alexander as Joseph (as in technicolor dream coat), Lou Diamond
New ‘Glee’ clips: Will and Rachel do ‘Endless Love!’
Clips from this week’s episode of Glee have popped up online, the best of which involves a duet of “Endless Love” between Rachel and Will. It appears the glee club diva is developing a schoolgirl crush on her admittedly dreamy teacher. The second clip is a flashback to another student, Susie Pepper, who also had
There’s a whole lotta ‘Glee’ in these Gap ads
The Gap is suddenly on a mission to remind us it still exists. I consider myself a Gap commercials scholar and cannot remember a campaign as Old Navy-lame as this. “Go Christmas! Go Hanukkah! Go Kwanzaa! Go Solstice!“? Stop trying to make “Go Solstice” happen! It’s not going to happen. I’d light everything I ever
SNL: Who makes a better Hoda?
Last night, SNL newbie Jenny Slate was put in the unenviable position of picking up a character created by Michaela Watkins, a one-season castmember who was let go earlier this year. Watkins had carved out a niche for herself on the show with a spot-on impersonation of Today show anchor Hoda Kotb—the straight woman to
Know Your Meme: Where viral videos are all the rage
The Internet can be a perplexing place, especially for those just getting their feet wet. I can only imagine what newbies make of Keyboard Cat, Numa Numa, and All Your Base Are Belong to Us — it must be akin to deciphering a foreign language. Thankfully, there’s a super-uber-duper website called Know Your Meme, which
What TV show do you only watch when you’re with your parents?
I feels like there’s an entire class of TV show that people only watch when they go to visit family. One of the ways my dad and I interact when I go home is by watching gearhead marathons. I’ve spent hours and (consecutive) hours watching shows like American Chopper, Street Customs, and Overhaulin’ — series
Clip du jour: When animals attack…with urine!
Does laughing at this poor woman getting sprayed with beaver urine make me a child? Perhaps. But I’m willing to live with that burden because…seriously, how often to anchors get peed on? Not that often! Welcome to your viral hit, Debbye Turner Bell.

Also, hats off to CBS for posting this video themselves, including this slo-mo
Roger Corman: Scorsese, Stallone, Sayles, and other A-listers talk about the B-movie king
He gave life to teenage cavemen and candy-stripe nurses. Crab monsters and humanoids from the deep. T-bird gangs and towns that dreaded sundown. His name is Roger Corman. And on Nov. 14, he will receive an honor that no one would have predicted: an honorary Academy Award. The 83-year-old B-movie titan has made nearly 400
