Pop Culture Odds and Ends – Getting Old Edition

It’s my birthday this weekend, which is usually cause for celebration, at least in my eyes. Everyone else just kind of humors me. This year, however, I’m just not feeling it and am kind of dreading having to say that I am a year older. There is not legitimate reason for this apathy – it isn’t a “milestone” birthday or anything – and I know turning a year older beats the alternative, but I’m just not in a celebratory mood at all this year. Perhaps I’ve finally gotten over the excitement for my birthday that everyone else got over when they were a kid. Perhaps it is because this year a lot of people have yet to respond to my unofficial party or can’t come. Perhaps it is because I do so many awesome things throughout the year that I don’t really need this excuse to make a big deal out of one particular day. Whatever the reason, as Saturday approaches, instead of my usual giddiness, it’s being greeted with a shrug. I’m happy to see my friends, but that’s about it.

Pop culture, on the other hand, still makes me excited and I had a lot of fun compiling your biweekly roundup of all the pop culture goodness that you might have missed. I just kept finding all sort of cool things to include. So while I attempt to determine what exactly is bumming me out, kick back and enjoy:

A spinoff of The Walking Dead is in development. AMC is determined to ride this thing into the ground.

The final season of Mad Men will be split in half and will air in 2014 and 2015. AMC is officially out of ideas.

J.K. Rowling is writing a Harry Potter spinoff movie.

FX is developing an American Psycho sequel series.

The New Yorker has a long interview with Bryan Cranston.

Stallone, Statham, Ford, Gibson, Schwarzenegger……Grammer? Fraiser joins the cast of Expendabless 3.

E! is getting in the obviously scripted business (rather that the pseudo scripted business of reality shows) with The Royals. Elizabeth Hurley is attached to star.

Adam Levine is launching a menswear line at Kmart.

A real psychiatrist analyzes the trauma that various Breaking Bad characters experienced in last Sunday’s intense episode.

A Middle Eastern prince paid $500,000 to hang out with Kristen Stewart. With all due respect, your highness, you grossly overpaid.

Congrats to Bob Newhart for winning his first Emmy! The full list of Creative Arts Emmy winners can be found here. The Primetime Emmys will air on September 22. There may be a live blog.

In other awards show news, Woody Allen will receive the Cecil B. DeMille award at the Golden Globes.

Scarlett Johansson is engaged.

Carson Daly has joined The Today Show.

Leonardo DiCaprio is developing a Woodrow Wilson biopic. He may also star. Dude wants his Oscar.

George R.R. Martin, author of the Game of Thrones books, is a Breaking Bad fan and thinks that “Water White is a bigger monster than anyone in Westeros.” This from the guy who gave us Joffrey.

Rapper 2Chainz has released a cookbook

AMC has canceled The Killing……again.

Props from The Office are going to be auctioned off.

The West Wing fans – Allison Janney performed “The Jackal” last night on the newly revived The Arsenio Hall Show.

HBO is taking the Damon Lindelof drama The Leftovers, based on the novel by Tom Perrotta, to series.

A happy belated birthday to Louis C.K.

The guy who voiced Jafar in the Disney film Aladdin will play Jafar on Broadway. Makes sense.

Molly Shannon, Will Forte and Jordan Peele will all voice characters on Bob’s Burgers.

The BBC’s Sherlock cast are getting their own action figures.

Everyone that I know that watched the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Canelo Alvarez fight last weekend was disappointed. Snoop ~~Dogg~~ Lion, however, won over a pound of weed on that fight.

After a lackluster performance at the box office, the planned sequel to The Mortal Instruments has been delayed indefinitely.

A new season of Key and Peele debuts tonight:

Amazon is unveiling a new Matchbook program that will allow customers to buy discounted e-book version of books that were already purchased in paperback.

Charlie Sheen has finally graduated from high school.

Also a recent high school graduate – Mark Wahlberg.

Caroline Manzo might be getting her own spinoff from The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Doctor Sleep, Stephen King’s sequel to The Shining, will be released next Tuesday.

Non-shocking news of the day, part 1: JJ Abrams will not direct the next Star Trek movie, which was all but a foregone conclusion once he took over the Star Wars franchise.

Non-shocking news of the day, part 2: Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth have ended their engagement. Once she unfollowed him on Twitter, you knew that they were doomed.

People keep making Breaking Bad musicals. Check out Walter White and the Mazing Blue Crystal Meth:

Sons of Anarchy is very loosely based on Hamlet. Uproxx looks to see how the series and the source material line up (and what that could mean for the characters).

Grant Gustin (Glee) has been cast as the Flash on Arrow. The character may be spun off to his own series.

Amy Poehler is headed to The Simpsons.

This is probably NOT a good sign: Pirates of the Caribbean 5 has been shut down indefinitely for script maintenance. Probably for the best; this movie is wholly unnecessary.

Mumford & Sons were kicked out of an Atlanta strip club.

Eddie Murphy did a reggae song with Snoop Lion. I have no idea if this is supposed to be a joke or not:

Paste lists 20 great songs that are less than 60 seconds.

The cast of Fast & Furious 7 continues to grow; Djimon Hounsou has been added. That’s the good news. Here’s the bad news (at least in my opinion).

Ben Affleck hasn’t completely quit directing; he’ll direct the pilot for Fox’s The Middle Man.

Mr. Woodchuck, the puppet from Full House, had an unfortunate run-in with Dave Coulier’s dog. It’s nice that he kept the prop all these years.

I am a fan of both Metallica and bluegrass, so I really enjoyed this cover of “Enter Sandman:”

The first three hosts for SNL have been announced; Tina Fey kicks the season off, followed my Miley Cyrus and Bruce Willis.

Easy-E and Ol’ Dirty Bastard were brought back in hologram form at Rock the Bells. You people know how I feel about this trend.

Ha! I love that the son of ODB refers to himself as Young Dirty Bastard.

Sting’s musical may reach Broadway next year.

Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball” video is greatly improved with the addition of Nicolas Cage:

A Game of Thrones sigil for every NFL Team.

Demi Lovato has not one, but two books on the way.

If someone is in need of a last minute birthday gift for me, tickets to the cast of Anchorman doing a live reading of the script are guaranteed to make me happy. I’m not so disinterested that I won’t accept gifts.

Tumblrs of the week: The Carter Family Portrait Gallery (Jay Z, Beyoncé and Blue Ivy added to famous paintings) and Tales You Lose (pop culture characters painted on currency)

Better Call Saul, the Breaking Bad prequel spinoff, is moving forward at AMC.

Fox has renewed So You Think You Can Dance.

Listen to The Eagles, run the risk of getting stabbed.

Watch this guy do 13 Muppet impressions in a minute:

Speaking of Muppets, they did all sorts of great stuff since the last round up. Cookie Monster spoofed some movies:

Elmo (or a reasonable facsimile) hung out with Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen:

@SirPatStew

Grover sang with Dave Matthews:

Cookie Monster also found some time to hang out with Loki:

Life isn’t always golden for our friends of the felt; Mental Floss looks at 9 Muppets that were kicked off Sesame Street.

UC Irvine is offering a free online course on The Walking Dead. I’m not a huge fan of the show, but I may have to take this just for kicks. I’m thinking that could really spruce up my resume.

Elton John will do a Liberace tribute at the Emmys.

Jason Diamond over at Flavorwire makes an interesting argument: If you liked Seinfeld you should be watching FX’s The League.

Ha! Watch Todd from Breaking Bad gun down Justin Bieber:

No Biebers were harmed in the creation of this GIF

See some pages from The Simpsons/Futurama crossover crisis book.

Morrissey cancels the release of his autobiography days before its scheduled release.

Dina Lohan, mother to Lindsay, was arrested for driving while intoxicated. Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

The Entourage movie has been delayed as Adrian Grenier and Jerry Ferrara hold out for more money. Thanks Turtle – you are doing the world a service. No one wants an Entourage movie.

Jack Black is in talks to star in a Goosebumps movie.

Cynthia Nixon will appear on Hannibal next season.

He’s still really good looking, but I’m not digging Joe Manganiello as much without his beard.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/06/joe-manganiello-shaves-beard_n_3881045.html?utm_hp_ref=entertainment&ir=Entertainment

Fuse has renewed Insane Clown Posse Theater.

I have a lot of questions after reading this headline: “Bloodhound Gang Under Criminal Investigation in Russia Over Flag Stunt.”

Sarah Silverman’s dog Duck, who appeared on her television program as Doug, has passed away. 😦 She wrote a touching obituary for the pup.

Comic Chris Lilley may be resurrecting some of his characters from his HBO series Summer Heights High. Am I the only person who watched this?

Jason Reitman wants Adam Sandler for his next film. I like serious Sandler, so I’m all for this.

This makes me very happy – Walton Goggins will appear on Community this season.

And if that wasn’t awesome enough – John Oliver is also returning to Community.

Eminem turned up during the Michigan/Notre Dame game. It was awkward, to say the least.

Another week, another Wizard of Oz series in development. This one is over at the CW.

Some Doctor Who fans see something resembling a TARDIS in the newly discovered Van Gogh painting.

The band Sigur Rios will appear on Game of Thrones.

Britney Spears is rumored to be earning $15 million per year for her Vegas residency. Seems as good a reason as any to finally plan my first trip to Vegas.

Her new album is scheduled to drop December 3^rd. I’m not sure how I feel about the new single, “Work Bitch”

This local sports anchor worked 41 Seinfeld references into his segment:

He also did a segment full of old school rap references and wrestling references. I think this guy and I could be fast friends.

This is a little on the nose: a woman named Courtney Cox was arrested for swimming in a fountain.

Ricky Gervais is going out on tour as David Brent.

Also announcing tours: Robin Thicke, Jay Z and Kanye (the latter who I am going to see in Madison Square Garden!)

The upcoming Terminator reboot is getting a July 1, 2015 release date.

Late Night DVR alert: the cast of Breaking Bad will appear on Conan on Monday.

A town in Kentucky hosted a Honey Boo Boo look-alike contest.

One of the models from the “Blurred Lines” video has been added to the cast of Gone Girl.

You can stream new albums from Icona Pop, Mazzy Star, Grouplove and CHVRCHES online. Also available: the new collaboration between The Roots and Elvis Costello.

You can now watch River Phoenix’s final movie online.

Ian McKellen will star as a retired Sherlock Holmes in an upcoming film.

Alexander Skarsgard has joined team USA in a charity race to the South Pole. The Wire’s Dominic West will be on team Commonwealth. This thing sounds like no joke – be safe everyone!

No matter what you throw at Beyoncé, she just rolls with it. She already weathered a fan smacking her on the rear and her hair getting caught in a fan, but now she has survived a fan pulling her off the stage.

TLC, home of the show Sister Wives, is doubling down on polygamy with a new show My Five Wives.

A writer at UPROXX wrote a tribute to one of the greatest episodes of It’s Always Sunny – Chardee MacDennis. I wholeheartedly concur.

The Ohio University marching band preformed a rendition of Ylvis’ viral sensation The Fox during their game against Marshall.

Haven’t see the video for The Fox yet? Here it is, in all it’s weirdness. Watch it now, thank me later.

This week in Aaron Paul is awesome news: the actor held a scavenger hunt in Iowa for free tickets to a Breaking Bad screening. That dude is winning life.

Billy Joel is publishing his previously cancelled memoir.

Selma Blair may sue after her firing from Anger Management.

Artie Lange is releasing a new memoir.

Breaking Bad fans are the best. Los Pollos Hermanos now has its own Yelp page, full of reviews.

Richard Roeper will replace Roger Ebert at the Chicago Sun-Times.

In a classic NBC move, the network invited than dis-invited trivia whiz Ken Jennings to appear on Million Second Quiz.

Fiona Apple covered “Pure Imagination” from Willy Wonka for a Chipotle ad:

RuPaul is once again a spokesperson for MAC cosmetics.

This actually sounds like a pretty cool show: ABC is developing a drama that imagines what would have happened if the United States lost The Revolutionary War.

The Smoking Gun has compiled the FCC complaints about Miley Cyrus’ VMA performance.

I’m guessing the Obama administration rues the day that they created an online petition platform. Now people want a replica TARDIS on the White House lawn.

Trailers! Get your trailers here:

Nicole Kidman in Grace of Monaco:

National Geographic’s Killing Kennedy, starring Rob Lowe and Ginnifer Goodwin:

Kill Your Darlings with Daniel Radcliffe and Michael C. Hall (that’s kind of a weird combo):

Rotten Tomatoes will now start rating TV shows.

Uproxx looks at 15 life lessons from Jean-Ralphio from Parks and Recreation.

A Billy Joel/Kanye mashup sounds way better than you would think:

I’m apparently all about the Kanye mashups this week: listen to Yeezus mashed up with Sara Bareilles.

Blurred Sanford mashes up Blurred Lines and the Sanford and Son theme song:

This supercut proves Bill Murray is an awkward kisser.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail gets a modern trailer remix:

Les Miserables…..with light sabers:

Good Will Batman (NSFW):

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia gets the Cheers opening credit treatment:

And finally……The Dukes of Heisenberg:

Have a great Wednesday!

Pop Culture Odds and Ends – Epic Roundup edition

So it appears I went a little overboard this week with the links; I was freaking out that I was behind schedule on this post and just started plugging away in compiling links. Next thing you know, the document was nine pages long. I guess I just kind of lost track of what I was doing. So while you wade through all the pop culture goodness I’ve cultivated for you over the last two weeks, I’m going to consider taking a nap after a job well done.

Chris Brown is facing possible jail time after an alleged hit and run incident. That’s kind of like getting Al Capone on tax evasion.

A new MGMT album is coming in September. So is new music from Elton John.

Cap’n Crunch appears to have falsified his resumé.

Don Draper’s childhood home is a real place (and for sale), though it was heavily CGIed for Mad Men. Michael Jackson’s Thriller video and scenes from Chinatown were filmed in the same neighborhood.

Bill Pullman and Jeff Goldblum will be back for Independence Day 2, which is proceeding without Will Smith.

Get off the ledge – Robert Downey, Jr. is confirmed for Avengers 2 and Avengers 3.

Breaking Bad is the latest TV show to get its own beer. Anyone in Albuquerque want to send me some?

The second Game of Thrones beer is due this Fall.

I haven’t forgotten about you, wine drinkers – a Downton Abbey line of wines will be released.

Um….am I the only one that finds it odd that they are using an Eminem song in the trailer for Despicable Me 2?

Starz has officially announced a new series Outlander, based on the books by Diana Gabaldon. Not sure it is for me, but sounds interesting.

According to an interview with W magazine, Kanye is still working on a Jetsons movie.

A Tupac musical is getting closer to Broadway.

No shocker here – Dan Harmon finally watched the 4^th season of Community and he wasn’t a fan.

A clinical psychologist analyzes some superheroes.

Flavor Flav’s last chicken and ribs restaurant has closed. Fun fact – Flavor Flav is inexplicably one of my Twitter followers (Word up, Flavor FLAV!).

This statistic made me sad – there are only357 Drive-Ins left in America. I consider myself lucky that three are close by.

Stephen Colbert’s mother passed away last week. If you haven’t seen his touching tribute to her, it is a must watch. I bawled through the whole thing.

Sorry Doctor Who fans – the new Doctor won’t be announced until Fall.

The national nightmare is over – Twinkies, Ho Hos and the rest of the Hostess cake family will return to shelves July 15. I’m guessing the people who dropped a ton of cash to stock up are feeling kind of foolish right now.

Someone (brave) got an Arrested Development inspired license plate:

The Faceblock App from the new episodes of Arrested Development can now be downloaded.

In honor of the Encyclopedia Brown movie that is in development, Vulture ranked the books by the awesomeness of their titles.

Shark Week is coming in August – and if this promo is an indication, it’s going to be particularly twisted. RIP Snuffy.

CNN breaks down the accuracy of the recent Lifetime movie on Jodi Arias (which yes, I watched). Good job CNN – no worldwide crises you should be covering.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis announced an arena tour this fall.

Nick Swisher and his actress wife Joanna Garcia have released the first picture of their baby daughter and she is just precious:

Welcome to the world, Emerson Jay!

Boo – Sandra Bullock is no longer in talks to play Miss Hannigan in the Annie reboot.

He was overdue for an outburst – Charlie Sheen had his Anger Management co-star Selma Blair fired.

Finally! One of Taylor Swift’s (alleged) exes has (allegedly) written a song about her. Oh John Mayer – I knew you were the one that was douchey enough to do this and I love you for it.

Netflix is bringing back Hemlock Grove for a second season.

Jon Stewart was on the Egyptian version of The Daily Show. It switches over to English about 2.5 minutes into the interview

I’m not making this up – the FBI is using a Portlandia sketch in its training program.

Aaron Carter claims he was attacked by four New Kids on the Block fans – that were men. The Boy Band war wages on.

Neil Patrick Harris will return to Broadway to star in Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

I’m still reeling from the death of James Gandolfini and am touched with the various ways he has been honored:

Broadway marquees will dim their lights tonight in his memory.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band played the Born to Run album in its entirety in a concert as a tribute to their fellow New Jersey icon.

The New York Yankees took a moment to observe his passing:

Holsten’s Ice Cream, the locale for the final scene of The Sopranos, saved a table in his honor:

Sesame Street posted a clip of his 2002 appearance:

His funeral will be Thursday in New York City. I still can’t believe he’s gone 😦

Gary David Goldberg, creator of Family Ties and Spin City, passed away. Michael J. Fox remembers him.

I’m regretting that I didn’t go to the Wilco’s Solid Sound Festival – it happened only a hop, skip and a jump away in North Adams, MA. I’m especially bummed I missed Wilco’s all cover set, but now I can listen to it online in its entirety.

I am relieved to hear that a supporting character on Parenthood is now officially returning for the next season.

A Knight Rider movie is being penned. I’m not sure why they think this will do better than the recent TV reboot, but best of luck to them.

This Into the Woods film adaptation keeps getting better and better – Anna Kendrick is in talks to play Cinderella.

The guy who inspired the Soup Nazi character on Seinfeld is rolling out some food trucks (Thanks to Kristin for the tip!)

Happy 50^th birthday to Georgios Kyriacos Panagiòtou (George Michael to the uninitiated). In honor of half a century, here’s one of my favorite songs:

A new poster has been released for the final season of Breaking Bad (did anyone else internally yell out Fame? Just me? Moving on….)

Game of Thrones continues its world domination. There are close to 150 babies in the U.S. named Khaleesi.

Men’s Wearhouse has fired their founder (and star of their commercials). I’m guessing they didn’t like the way he looks.

Liam Neeson will get $20 million to appear in Taken 3.

The Village Voice has an interview with my favorite member of The Roots, Questlove.

A Street Fighter parody – with cats. My Pumpkin would dominate in this.

I am SO excited to be going to the Funny or Die Oddball Comedy and Curiosity Festival.

Among the new Houseguest on this season of Big Brother – Rachel’s sister (if you watched the show, you know what this means).

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon was really exceptional last week – great guests and fun bits – but this Super Mario Brother’s rap is really fantastic:

This is not a promising development – the Sin City sequel has been delayed a year.

Jim Carrey has refused to publically promote his upcoming movie Kick-Ass 2, as post Sandy Hook he thinks it is too violent.

Jay-Z’s newest album will feature some Nirvana lyrics.

Speaking of…this photo makes me deliriously happy:

The first episode of the Stephen King miniseries Under the Dome did very well for CBS. The rich get richer.

Fat Joe is headed to the slammer.

Paul Giamatti has joined the cast of Downton Abbey.

Kenny Chesney fans and the city of Pittsburgh are not a good combination.

An infographic of Leonardo DiCaprio movies.

Ha! EW has a fun quiz – who said it, Kanye or Lucille Bluth?

A biophysicist fact checks World War Z. Read my review here.

This ASL interpreter at a Wu Tang Clan show is phenomenal.

If anyone is looking to get an early jump on my birthday present, I’d love a print of this Muppet periodic table.

A cool Lego exhibit has opened in Times Square.

The first trailer for the upcoming Lego movie has been released:

Liv Tyler has joined the cast of Damon Lindelof’s HBO pilot.

Bring back Celebrity Deathmatch – Kid Rock is talkin some smack about The Biebs.

Barnes & Noble will stop making the color version of the Nook.

Neil Diamond will release a charity song next week to benefit the Boston One Fund and The Wounded Warriors Project.

The Rock’s diet to prepare for his upcoming role in Hercules sounds intense.

2014 is shaping up to be a big year for Arnold Schwarzenegger – not only will he appear in the next Terminator movie, but he’ll also star in the zombie flick Maggie.

People magazine is offering a free 8 song country music sampler.

Chris Rock has cast Kevin Hart, J.B. Smoove and Sherri Shepherd in his new TV show.

This screencap pretty much sums up the 90s:

Who knew that Channing Tatum was such a fan of sweaters? He’s a regular Bill Cosby.

A-Rod had joined Twitter. Heaven help us all.

Jeff Garlin takes his parking spaces very seriously.

Parks and Recreation will kick off its sixth season with an hour long episode that takes place outside Pawnee.

T-Bone Burnett will not return to Nashville for season 2.

Disney has (thankfully) decided to change the name of the upcoming Muppets sequel from The Muppets…..Again! to Muppets Most Wanted.

Universal has picked up the orphaned Dumb and Dumber sequel.

They aren’t officially recording together yet, but here’s video footage that rapper Wale and Seinfeld do in fact know each other

Some plot details for the forthcoming Doctor Strange movie have been revealed.

Tumblr of the week: Kanye Wes, Game of Portlandia and Mad Men Screenshots with Things Drawn on Them

Ridley Scott. Cormac McCarthy. Brad Pitt. Michael Fassbender. Penelope Cruz. Javier Bardem. Cameron Diaz. All associated with one movie – The Counselor

Pixar movies as infographics.

The Jim Henson Company is looking for writers for a The Dark Crystal prequel.

The actor in this character might look familiar – he was the awful Oliver on The O.C.

Jodi Sweeten – best known as Stephanie Tanner on Full House – is ending her third marriage. How rude!

OK – I PROMISE this is the last Kanye-related thing this week. He made a terrible short film to promote his new album Yeezus that features fellow Kardashian baby daddy Scott Disick and Kim BFF Jonathan Cheban. They are not great actors, but this is kind of hilarious since Disick has always given off an American Psycho vibe. Glad to see he owns his sociopathic-ness.
