Robin Williams on His "Leading Penguin" Sofia Vergara and Why Kids Are the Toughest Critics

Lindsay Miller — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 01:12:00 PST

Robin Williams reprises not one, but two roles, in Happy Feet Two as penguins Ramon and Lovelace. This time around, however, Ramon has a new love interest in Sofia Vergara. We talked to Robin at a junket for the movie recently, where he told us about working with the sexy star, poked fun at tough kid-critics, and revealed that his own daughter once asked him to stop doing "the voices." Check out our chat with Robin and see Happy Feet Two in theaters this Friday!

Pink brought baby Willow along to the premiere of Happy Feet Two in LA yesterday. Willow was decked out in a tux for the blue carpet event, and her mom Pink and dad Carey Hart also matched in black suits. Pink shared her motherhood secrets before heading into the screening, saying, "As long as my boobs are at home at a certain hour, I can do whatever I want!" Joining the happy family of three were Pink's costars in the animated movie Sofia Vergara, Elijah Wood, and newlywed Robin Williams. Robin, who tied the knot on Oct. 23, posed for photos with new wife Susan Schneider. It was one event in a busy weekend for Sofia, as she tweeted yesterday that she's now on her way to Miami to work with Pepsi.

Last night's big winners went from accepting their awards on stage straight into the press room, where Sandra Bullock humbly spoke about her honor. Kathryn Bigelow was visibly moved after being the first female to pick up best director for The Hurt Locker, though she's looking forward to a day when gender becomes a moot point. Rachel McAdams and Jake Gyllenhaal were flanking Geoffrey Fletcher, who picked up best screenplay for Precious.

Mo'Nique and Christoph Waltz brought their supporting actor gold in for a few photos, while Jeff Bridges joked about starting a band with Colin Farrell. Molly Ringwald and Matthew Broderick joined other actors from John Hughes films to chat after their touching tribute to the late director. There's lots more to come from Hollywood's biggest night, including all the afterparties, so stay tuned!

Robin Williams and Elijah Wood Getting Happy Again

BuzzSugar — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 11:30:20 PST

Ready for some more Arctic cuteness? Good, because there's a sequel to animated penguin film Happy Feet on the way, with Robin Williams and Elijah Wood in talks to reprise their roles.

In Happy Feet 2, Williams will again voice Ramon and Lovelace, while Wood will voice main character Mumble. There aren't any script or plot details yet, but I can already envision Mumble and Gloria showing their baby penguins how to sing and dance. Hopefully, the sequel lives up to the original - the sweet film was not just a visual treat, it won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature in 2006.

Robin Williams Loves Playing Online Video Games

GeekSugar — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 01:45:32 PDT

During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien, Robin Williams seemed to talk tech more than anything else. After admitting that he's as far removed from modern technology as they come, I couldn't help but be surprised when he talked about one of his favorite hobbies - playing online video games - who knew? Find out what kind of games he's addicted to below!

Movie Preview: Robin Williams in World's Greatest Dad

PopSugar — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 07:30:56 PDT

I have a love/hate relationship with Robin Williams' movies. In films like Good Will Hunting and Dead Poets Society, he brings a certain brilliant sincerity to his roles, which I admire and find so entertaining to watch. On the other hand, I've come to dread his over-the-top, cringe-worthy antics in cheesy comedies like License to Wed.

I'm happy to report that Williams's role in the upcoming movie World's Greatest Dad falls into the category of performances I think I can get behind. Williams stars as Lance Clayton, teacher of poetry, aspiring writer, and father of a typically bratty teenager. At first, Lance seems like a dad who has given up trying to connect to his son, but as the trailer goes on we see that Lance has his own brand of snark and retorts for his son's wisecracks. Eventually, a freak accident leads to Lance's big break, and he owes all of his success to his relationship with his son. The movie looks darkly funny if not a bit sad, but I'm definitely interested in seeing if Williams shines as well in the film as he does in the preview. World's Greatest Dad opens Aug. 21 and to check it out,

Do You Watch Stand-Up Specials on TV?

BuzzSugar — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 16:30:53 PDT

Robin Williams is bringing his comedy act back to HBO this Fall, taping his first stand-up special for the network in seven years and his fourth HBO special overall. He's just the latest comedian to book a special on HBO, which has long been a showcase for comedians including George Carlin, Will Ferrell, Ricky Gervais, Dana Carvey, and many more. Comedy Central has also been a big outlet for stand-up over the years with its Comedy Central Presents series. I'm wondering: Do you like watching stand-up specials on TV? Does it depend on the comedian? Or do you think this kind of thing is best suited to live shows?

Ben and Owen Team Up For Another Night at the Museum

PopSugar — Fri, 15 May 2009 13:30:23 PDT

The stars of Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian reunited on the red carpet last night for the premiere at the National Air and Space Museum in DC. Ben Stiller, Robin Williams, and Owen Wilson took their characters to Washington this time around, with Amy Adams adding a feminine touch to the cast. Last night Owen dished about how much fun it is to make movies with his longtime buddy Ben, saying, "It's unbelievable. This is like I think the 10th movie that we've worked on together. And then we're working on another one too coming up. Who knew way back when, when I was in The Cable Guy, that that was gonna lead to us kind of teaming up and being in the same movies so much." We'll get to see if Ben and Owen still have that box office magic when the movie hits theaters next Friday.

Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor continued to hit up the parties in support of I Love You Phillip Morris. It wasn't all movie veterans - relative newbie John Krasinski debuted Brief Interviews with Hideous Men at the festival while Kristen Stewart hit a red carpet that wasn't for Twilight - check out all the Sundance news here. With so many celebrities in Park City and DC for the inauguration, LA must be pretty quiet this week.
