Best.News.Ever. I have to say, Drew Barrymore is one of my all-time favorite actresses. Not because she’s the best (because she’s not), but because she’s so damn likeable and adorable. I might even say I have a crush on her. How else can you explain the fact I even liked her in some really craptastic films like “Bad Girls“, “Poison Ivy” and “Mad Love“. Thankfully, it’s not any of those movies that’s being adapted for Broadway. Instead, it’s another beloved Drew Barrymore film that’s heading to the Great White Way.

Hollywood movies given the Broadway musical treatment is nothing new. Some of the most successful musicals recently have been based on motion pictures. They include “Hairspray“, “Sister Act“, “The Lion King“, “Priscilla Queen of the Desert” and “Mary Poppins“. In fact sometimes, the musical version has been far more successful than the original.

Case in point “Newsies“. The Disney film was considered a box office bomb, but re-appropriated and it transformed into a Broadway smash. But for every “Newsies”, there’s also a bomb. Remember the ill-fated “Spider-Man, Turn Off The Dark” mess? How tragic was that? Have any ideas on which Drew Barrymore film is getting the song and dance treatment? “Never Been Kissed“, perhaps? How about “The Wedding Singer“? Or could it be “Firestarter“? Keep reading to find out.

If there was one big takeaway from this past television season, it’s that comedies are back. The genre was in rough shape, but thankfully a few breakouts this season including “2 Broke Girls” and “New Girl“, coupled with existing hits including “Modern Family” and “The Big Bang Theory”, proved that the sitcom is back and here to stay. That trend is nowhere more evident than at the recent upfronts. There are 29 sitcoms scheduled to hit the air this fall. On Tuesday night alone, CBS, NBC and ABC have comedies battling it out during the 9pm hour. May the funniest survive.

With so many comedies taking up the schedule, a few promising sitcom pilots failed to make the cut. Based on the trailers of some of the comedies that were picked up, I definitely feel some pilots got the shaft. Seriously NBC, “Guys With Kids“? What the eff were you thinking? ABC, you’re not off the hook either. What was up with “The Family Tools“?.

Mark my words, these two programs will be among the first to get the axe come September. I’m sure at that point the networks will wish they had picked up the following pilots instead. Hindsight is 20/20 right? Check out three sitcoms below that I wished were picked up.

Since Saturdays is our unofficial day for athletics, I thought today was the perfect day to share these fantastic images. Earlier this week, photographers were invited to Dallas for the 2012 Team USA Media Summit. At this event, Olympic hopefuls and legends posed for numerous photogs representing their respective discipline.

Naturally, Michael Phelps was the main attraction at the event. Reporters inundated the Olympian with questions ranging from his training to his post 2012 Olympic Games plans. Obviously, he wasn’t the only athlete there. I rummaged through the images and picked a select few *cough* hotties *cough* to share with you. If you’re an avid reader of Homorazzi.com, you might recognized a few of them from Patrick’s weekly Sports Stud feature. I hope other countries follow suit and release images of their athletes. I love me a hot Russian gymnast.

FUN. Has “Fun” With Hayley Williams On Gotye Track

In: Donovan, Music

Given that FUN. and Gotye are arguably two of the biggest breakout artists of 2012, it’s only fitting that one of them cover the other. American indie band FUN. dropped by BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge and performed two acoustic sets. One of which was their huge hit, “We Are Young” and the other a cover of Aussie sensation Gotye’s “Somebody I Used To Know“. The end result is nothing short of amazing.

I admit, I’m a sucker for an acoustic song cover. You can truly tell how talented a musician is when they are forced to perform with minimal instrumentation. Even though FUN.’s performance went off without a hitch, the group faced a bit of drama earlier on. Firstly, band member Andrew got a bad case of food poisoning and couldn’t play the piano which was the basis of their original cover version.

Secondly, they weren’t sure how Hayley Williams from Paramore was going to link in so she could perform Kimbra’s parts of “Somebody I Used To Love“. In the end, the technological obstacle proved inconsequential. Check out both FUN.’s performances below. If you weren’t a fan before, you will be after listening to them.

Now, THIS is the trailer the movie studio should’ve released first instead of that schmaltzy sad excuse of a romantic comedy they were trying to push. No one wants to see a movie about a struggling furniture designer by day who strips for money only to fall in love with his best friend’s sister. Sounds horrible, right? Well, that’s what the first trailer was all about. It looked like a poor man’s “Striptease” and that’s putting it nicely.

Thankfully, someone kicked some sense into the studio execs and informed them what the public really wants to see- pecs, abs and thongs. That’s right, we want to see some hot men stripping. And the more the merrier.

In the newly-released trailer, all signs of that aforementioned love story is nowhere to be seen. Instead, we have most of the cast revealing their “assets” on stage. From military fatigues, cowboy outfits, doctor scrubs, we finally see what costumes Channing Tatum, Joe Manganiello, Alex Pettyfer and Matt Bomer wear on stage. Even if it’s for a fleeting moment. Those outfits couldn’t hit the floor faster if you ask me. Check out the new and improved trailer below. The Chippendales have nothing on them.

Will Smith Bitch Slaps A Reporter

In: Celeb Gossip & News, Donovan

Here come the men who slap. Perhaps Will Smith had a brain fart and thought he was promoting “Ali” instead of “Men In Black 3“. During a promotional trip to Moscow, Russia, Smith was on the receiving end of some wanted attention. To Russia with Love… NOT. A Ukrainian reporter asked Will if he could hug him, which the actor graciously agreed to. What he didn’t anticipate was a barrage of kisses.

Once the 43-year-old star pushed him away, he exclaimed, “hey man, what the hell is your problem?”. After scolding him, Smith slapped the man in the face and told his entourage and the next reporter that “He tried to kiss me on my mouth!“. Will then added, “He’s lucky I didn’t sucker punch him.” According to TMZ, this television reporter is well known to plant kisses on celebrities. Watch the entire incident below.

A couple of days ago, reports surfaced that “Cosby Show” star Raven Symone was a lesbian and shacking up with former “America’s Next Top Model” contestant AzMarie Livingston. MediaTakeOut.com revealed that Raven was allegedly shacking up with the androgynous model in her NYC condo. This isn’t the first time, the “Cheetah Girls” actress has had to deal with lesbian rumors. Back in 2008 and 2010, she wrote on her blog and Twitter respectively regarding her sexuality:

“ITS FALSE THAT IM DATING A GIRL RIGHT NOW,” she added. “IT’S RUDE TO QUESTION SOMETHING SO PERSONAL. WE ARE ALWAYS FIGHTING FOR THE RIGHTS FOR THE GAY AND LESBIAN COMMUNITY.” – Raven Symone (2008)

“not in a relationship with a girl.” - Raven Symone (2010)

With a new batch of rumors emerging and to deal with, Raven once again took to the internet to set the record “straight”... or does she. Continue reading to find out what she tweeted.

Man Crush: Theo James

In: Donovan, TV Shows, Totally GAY!

With all the major networks presenting at this week’s upfronts, television viewers were able to get a sneak peek at all their new shows. When September rolls around, audiences looking for a bit of eye candy won’t be disappointed. The networks really did a bang up job of casting hotties. Typically, right before the Fall television season begins, I dedicate my weekly Man Crushes to hotties poised to become breakout stars. I decided to start early this year, the second I saw one particular actor. Meet Theo James.

James is an English actor probably best known for playing Kemal Pamuk in “Downton Abbey“. Come next season, the 27-year-old actor will be known for his role as Clark on CBS’ new drama, “Golden Boy“. Theo won the role, after Ryan Phillippe dropped out due to time commitment. Phillippe’s loss is our gain, as audiences will now have an opportunity to look at this sexy beast on a weekly basis.

Theo was born in Oxford and has a degree in philosophy from the University of Nottingham. Besides “Downtown Abbey”, his other acting credits include, “Underworld: Awakening” and “The Inbetweeners Movie”. Later this year, he’ll appear in “The Domino Effect”. In addition to acting, James is also a singer and guitarist. He plays with London-based band Shere Khan. Get to know Theo in pictures below now before he blows up big time come Fall.
