September 19, 2014 Dylan P. Gadino 2 Comments ebay, RIP, robin williams, time magazine

Everyone dealt with the death of Robin Williams differently. Some of us cried. Some of us watched every Robin Williams movie we could get our hands on. And some of us registered a new eBay account and tried to make money off the world’s loss of an icon. Well, that’s what eBay user “Warnecathe” did, anyway.

Since the HFPA didn’t nominate any comedy films for a Golden Globe, vote for comedies here (Poll)

If it isn’t the Recording Academy disappointing comedy fans it’s the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. This year, those lovable scamps nominated five films in the category of Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy— none of which are, in most intelligent people’s minds, comedies or musicals. They are as follows: American Hustle, Her, Inside Llewyn Davis, Nebraska, and The Wolf of Wall Street. So, with the absence of any real comedy

Paramount’s countless Anchorman promotional stunts might be enough to lure fans into purchasing a “superticket” for the sequel’s premiere. We reported earlier that Paramount planned to offer a similar “superticket” package that they did for their summer World War Z release. The idea is that, for a price, people can see the movie before anyone else and gain extra perks. Details have now emerged about the package, which allows for

May 27, 2013 Laughspin Staff 1 Comment Bea Arthur, jeff ross, jeffrey ross, jimmy kimmel

Over the weekend, a fun little comedian controversy played out. It involves Jimmy Kimmel, Jeffrey Ross and a nude painting of the late, great Golden Girls star Bea Arthur. The painting was purchased for $1.9 million at auction recently, but the buyer’s identity wasn’t revealed—that is, until Ross thanked Kimmel for the painting via Twitter and included a photo of himself holding said work of art. Biggest surprise of my
