Watch Billy Crystal, Megan Fox, and More in the "Trailer" For the Oscars

Shannon Vestal — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 11:03:07 PST

I'm already excited about Billy Crystal hosting the Oscars this year, and this "trailer" is just reaffirming that emotion. Crystal usually kicks off the show with movie spoofs, and this preview for the Oscar broadcast has that same sort of spirit. Called "Off the Grid," it's studded with stars like Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Robin Williams, and more as they set off to find the emcee. Watch it and get excited for the show on Feb. 26!

The Oscars Has Found Its Host: Billy Crystal

Shannon Vestal — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 14:41:26 PST

That was fast! Following yesterday's announcement that Eddie Murphy was stepping down as Oscar host in the wake of producer Brett Ratner's resignation, the Oscars have found their new emcee. The Academy has confirmed that Billy Crystal is hosting the Oscars after Crystal tweeted, "Am doing the Oscars so the young woman in the pharmacy will stop asking my name when I pick up my prescriptions. Looking forward to the show."

The Academy had just hired a new producer, Brian Grazer, and though it will be Grazer's first time working on the broadcast, Crystal is old hat. This will be his ninth time as host, and I'm personally excited - he's my favorite Oscar emcee (I'm already pumped about the 2011 movie medley). Are you glad that Crystal is hosting?

Watch the Trailer For When Harry Met Sally 2 (With a Twilight Twist!)

Becky Kirsch — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 10:20:28 PDT

We've seen classic romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally remixed as a horror film, but what about a sequel? Billy Crystal took it upon himself to reimagine a follow-up to the story, this time with Harry finding romance again in a nursing home after Sally's death. It seems like love at first sight for Harry and Sharon (Helen Mirren) . . . until Harry realizes that Sharon has a dark secret, and he's bit off more than he can chew (pun intended).

Watch the video after the jump.

Tonight PBS will begin airing the first episode of a six-part documentary called Make 'Em Laugh: The Funny Business of America, which explores all things comedic in America. The show features Amy Sedaris as narrator, and is hosted by comedy veteran Billy Crystal.

Comedian interviews to look out for in the series include Judd Apatow, Roseanne Barr, Carol Burnett, Sid Caesar, George Carlin, Larry David, Will Ferrell, Steve Martin, and Chris Rock. Pretty awesome lineup, right?

Tonight's episode is titled "Would Ya Hit a Guy with Glasses?: Nerds, Jerks, & Oddballs" and takes a look at how American outsiders have spun their exclusion from mainstream society into comedic gold. So, it's the Judd Apatow episode. You can check out the entire schedule here.

PBS also created an entire episode about humor on the World Wide Web titled, "Teh Internets" (yes, "Teh") that includes hilarious little sketches from Amy Sedaris. You can watch it right now (though it is long) if you

Birthday Wishes For Pretty Woman Julia and Retiring Joaquin

PopSugar — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 15:00:14 PDT

After posing for photos on the red carpet, Julia Roberts, Casey Affleck, Bruce Willis, and Tom Hanks were just a handful of the A-listers who performed last night in honor of Paul Newman. Joined on stage by the children from the Painted Turtle Camp, the actors got into costume and character as Jack Nicholson narrated The World of Nick Adams. While remembering Paul was a key element of the night, there were also plenty of jokes. Julia Roberts even touched on her role in Pretty Woman and when asked about a sequel, she said, "No one wants to see an old hooker! Do they?" While Julia was busy rejecting sequel ideas, Joaquin Phoenix declared that he's quitting acting entirely to focus on his music career. Both Julia and Joaquin are celebrating birthdays today, but it seems as if helping others is top of mind these days.

To see an awkward video with Joaquin declaring his quitting and lot more photos including Danny DeVito, Billy Crystal, Sean Penn, and others, just read more.

Jack and Morgan Carry Their Bucket List to LA

Molly — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 08:30:00 PST

Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman came out in LA last night to premiere their new sweetheart buddy film The Bucket List. In the movie, they play men from very different walks of life who are both terminally ill and embark on a series of adventures they've always wanted to do before they "kick the bucket." The boys were joined by friends Billy Crystal, John Mayer (who isn't one to miss a red carpet these days) and their pint-sized costar Taylor Ann Thompson. Oh, and in case anyone is still curious, this movie is the reason why Jack showed off that completely shaved head at last year's Oscars. The Bucket List comes out Christmas day and looks like it might be a perfectly (and possibly overly) saccharine holiday treat.

AFI Honors Warren & Reunites Old Friends

The American Film Institute had its 40th anniversary on Wednesday, and some of Hollywood's finest were there to help celebrate. George Lucas, Billy Crystal and Jack Nicholson were among the 11 entertainers chosen to introduce a screening of one of their own films. The man of the night was Warren Beatty, who was honored with AFI's 36th lifetime achievement award. It looks like these old friends were more than happy to show their affections on the red carpet, especially that frisky Jack Nicholson.
