  • Norman Reedus Talks Biting Fan, Prank War This Week On Late Night Circuit

    Norman Reedus made the talk show rounds like a zombie-killing boss this week to promote The Walking Dead (as if it needed promoting).

    Along the way, Norman Reedus was kind enough to share two hilarious stories.

    On Jimmy Kimmel Live, Norman Reedus gave his version of the famous biting fan story from December of last year.

    Norman Reedus said, “We took a picture, right? She started off—she came out and said, ‘Sometimes I like to pretend we’re married.’ And I went, ‘Oh, OK. Cool.’”

    He continued, “And to tell you the truth I was so tired at the point I didn’t really register she said that.”

    Then he said she began shaking and howling, then “came down and bit me on the breast, the chest.”

    He continued, “I kind of went, ‘Ow,’ and Michael Rooker was there and he went, ‘What the f—k was that?’ And then a couple of nice officers tackled her to the ground.”

    Always a pleasure. Latelateshow tonight

    He added, “She was escorted out and she came outside and she goes, ‘What happened?’ And then they said, ‘Ma’am you just bit Norman,’ and she goes, ‘I did?’”

    Wow. So funny!

    Hope everyone enjoyed Sunday ?️

    On Wednesday night, Norman Reedus gave James Corden a glimpse into the ongoing (one-sided) prank war between him and Andrew Lincoln.

    Apparently, the whole thing began when a fan sent Norman Reedus a super fancy Daryl Dixon license plate. He put it onto Lincoln’s car undetected. Lincoln drove the car for months before he noticed. Then he swore he would get Reedus back.

    Norman Reedus continued, “He was trying to plot, but he’s really bad at it to be honest. So the last day of shooting for this latest season, he walked into his trailer and I’d filled it full of chickens.”

    Corden remarked, “You filled his trailer full of chickens? Hold on, you were trying to get him back for something he hadn’t done yet?”

    What do you think of Norman Reedus’ hilarious stories this week?

  • Katie Holmes Turns Coy When James Corden Asks Which “Dawson’ Creek” Costar Was Better Kisser

    Katie Holmes was coy on Wednesday night while a guest on James Corden’s Late Late Show. Along with fellow guests Judd Apatow and Ryan Reynolds, the group chatted about Dawson’s Creek–the hit TV show on which Katie Holmes became famous.

    Corden stirred things up a bit when he asked Katie which of her costars–James Van Der Beek or Joshua Jackson–was the better kisser.

    Katie Holmes turned the tables on James Corden, however.

    “Who do you think?” she coyly asked him.

    “I think Der Beek, because I would get straight up in his grill,” James Corden said.

    “I went to high school with Josh, and I can tell you right now, he’s a terrific kisser,” Ryan Reynolds said. He and Joshua Jackson attended Kitsilano Secondary School in Vancouver together.

    “Well, I mean if he says so…” Katie Holmes said, laughing at the foolish things the three men were saying.

    Those who remember the days of Dawson’s Creek likely recall that Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson were dating when the show first aired. That would have made choosing Van Der Beek as the better kisser a bit uncomfortable.

    Another uncomfortable topic that came up on The Late Late Show was how kissing an actor on TV compares with a real-life first kiss.

    “It’s so awkward because with a first kiss in [real] life, if it doesn’t go well you can kinda be like, ‘Oh I gotta get home,’ or ‘thanks.’ You never have to deal with that person again,” Katie Holmes explained. “But on screen, you’re gonna have to have lunch and you’re probably have to work together tomorrow, so it’s a little bit [awkward].”

    Were you a Dawson’s Creek fan? Do you remember a much younger Katie Holmes when she starred on the TV show?

  • Katie Holmes Talks Kissing “Dawson’s Creek” Costars, Who Was the Better Kisser?

    Katie Holmes was a guest on The Late Late Show on Wednesday night, and she chatted with James Corden–along with fellow guests Judd Apatow and Ryan Reynolds–about her time on Dawson’s Creek. The talk soon turned to kissing, and the question arose about which of her former costars–James Van Der Beek or Joshua Jackson–was the better kisser?

    Playing coy, Katie Holmes turned the tables on Corden.

    “Who do you think?” she asked him.

    “I think Der Beek, because I would get straight up in his grill,” James Corden said.

    “I went to high school with Josh, and I can tell you right now, he’s a terrific kisser,” Ryan Reynolds said. He and Joshua Jackson attended Kitsilano Secondary School in Vancouver together.

    “Well, I mean if he says so…” Katie Holmes said, laughing at the foolishness the three men conjured.

    Those who remember the days of Dawson’s Creek likely recall that Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson were dating when the show first aired. That would have made choosing Van Der Beek as the better kisser a bit uncomfortable.

    Something else that’s awkward is the rumor flying around (yes, it’s still out there) that claims Katie Holmes is dating Jamie Foxx.

    Do you think there’s any truth to the rumor?

  • Julianne Moore Returns to Roots as Soap Opera Star

    Julianne Moore got her start in soap operas. She played both Frannie Hughes and her evil twin (because doesn’t every soap character have an evil twin?) on As the World Turns. On Monday night, Moore and John Stamos created their own soap opera of sorts on the Late Late Show With James Corden. The show’s host took part, too, channeling some kind of slicked-back greaser type–a la John Travolta in Grease. The soap’s dialogue came in the form of Taylor Swift song lyrics–snippets from several of her hit songs.

    The result is, of course, a hilarious mash up of words and bad acting. Check out John Stamos as John Stamosa, James Corden as James Cordone, and Julianne Moore as Juliette Moore in The Bold and the Lyrical.

    How’s that for dead-pan delivery of some cheesy lines? Julianne Moore is a pro at this kind of work. John Stamos and James Corden aren’t so bad either. Can’t you see the three starring in some kind of a Lifetime Christmas movie?

    Almost as much fun–but not quite–is this flashback to when Julianne Moore actually starred in a soap opera.

    It’s not often fans get to see Julianne Moore lounge around in a silk robe and throw her luxe tresses over her shoulder. Only Taylor Swift lines could prompt this kind of dramatic display.

    Should Julianne Moore, John Stamos, and James Corden hit up producers with a script? Is there a soap spoof in their futures?

  • Stevie Wonder Sings To James Corden’s Wife, ‘Late Late Show’ Host Reduced To Tears

    Having someone unexpectedly sing to your loved one would be a nice surprise, but it may be a life changing experience if the legendary Stevie Wonder sang for him or her.

    Lucky James Corden had that experience in a recent episode of The Late Late Show‘s Carpool Karaoke and it reduced him to tears.

    Aside from getting the chance to do a duet with Stevie Wonder for his songs, ”Very Superstitious,” “Isn’t She Lovely” and “Signed, Sealed, Delivered,” Corden also got the chance to surprise his wife with a personal song from Stevie Wonder.

    Corden called his wife of three years, Julia, and asked Stevie Wonder to sing to her.

    After talking for a while, Stevie Wonder surprised them both when he belted out “I Just Called to Say I Love You,” changing the lyrics to “I just called to say James loves you. I just called to say how much he cares.”

    While Julia was silent on the other line, Corden was obviously overwhelmed and wiped away tears from his eyes after Stevie Wonder ended the song with “and he promised me he’ll let me be on his show for an hour.”

    Stevie Wonder also showed him his harmonica skills in the show and even suggested they start a group called The Wondercats after they belted out his songs together.

    The episode started out funny, when Corden gets into the passenger seat of the car and asks ‘Are you sure you’re OK to drive?’ and the camera pans to Stevie Wonder behind the wheel.

    Stevie Wonder also showed his funny side when he mocked Corden by doing a bad impression of the TV host’s British accent.

    And though Corden already had the likes of Mariah Carey and Rod Stewart on the show, this episode with Stevie Wonder is probably the best in Corden’s Carpool Karaoke series.

  • Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher Tied the Knot on Sunday

    Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are finally married. The two tied the knot in a wedding ceremony on Sunday. Although no details of the wedding have yet been released, People magazine is confirming that the nuptials took place.

    ET Online reports that Mila Kunis was spotted getting her nails done late in the week, and the shade she chose–pale pink–was perfect for a bride-to-be.

    It was on the set of That 70s Show that Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis first met, but they didn’t become romantically involved until years later. They started dating shortly after Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore got divorced.

    The couple became engaged in February of 2014. They welcomed their baby girl Wyatt in October of 2014.

    Back in March, James Corden tried to get Mila Kunis to admit that she and Ashton Kutcher had already tied the knot. Her coy answer had rumors running rampant for more than a week.

    “Maybe,” she told the late night host when he pressed her for details.

    Neither Mila Kunis nor Ashton Kutcher has commented publicly yet on their weekend wedding, but fans are no doubt thrilled for them both.

    It will surely be fun to learn the details of their secret 4th of July weekend nuptials.

    Congratulations to both Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher will no doubt be circulating via social media in the hours to come.

  • Elizebeth Olsen Gets Starstruck Over Taylor Swift

    Elizabeth Olsen is experiencing a rise in stock. Her role as Scarlet Witch in the Avengers: Age of Ultron movie is already making her a household word.

    We already know that she is an old soul who prefers to not get on social media and values her privacy.

    “I don’t [use] social media, and I feel like that’s how people control their image,” she said recently. “My image, in my mind, is just to disappear. I just want people to see the work that I’m proud of. I feel like you let people touch you when you have Instagram or Twitter, and I don’t want to be touched all the time. I’m not going to do it—ever.”

    But even Elizabeth Olsen gets starstruck. In fact, she gets gushy over Taylor Swift.

    On The Late, Late Show with James Corden recently, she shared a sitdown with Dana Carvey and related to Corden and Carvey how she recently met Taylor Swift.

    She was at a birthday party for a mutual friend when the meeting occurred.

    “I really love her, and earlier in my ballet class, I was doing a dance sequence to her music,” Elizabeth Olsen explained. “I only listen to her music when I’m working out, which is a little too often because of Avengers. And I just talked at her for like a long time. I think I blew it because we didn’t exchange phone numbers or anything.”

    Corden pressed for more details about the conversation.

    “I was really close to showing her my dance. She was asking me which song it was, and I couldn’t remember the song title, and I wasn’t going to sing it for her! I didn’t to sound like I was mocking her.” she recalled. “I’m still nervous thinking about it right now. So she named one and I was like, “Yeah. It was that one!”

  • Mila Kunis Not Married to Ashton Kutcher, Thinks About Daughter During Sex

    Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher apparently haven’t tied the knot, even though many believed that to be the case following her appearance on James Corden’s Late Late Show earlier this week. Even during the show’s preview, it sounded like Kunis might divulge some exciting news to the audience.

    This wasn’t the first time this happened either. When Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher shared a Christmas greeting with their followers, they affectionately signed it with love–from the Kutchers. In most people’s minds that indicated Kunis and the Two and a Half Men star had likely gotten married.

    Now it seems neither situation meant anything at all–at least not where marriage between Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher is involved, anyway.

    Even Ellen DeGeneres tried to get Mila Kunis to admit that the Christmas card meant marriage. All she got was the same sort of ‘maybe’ that James Corden got earlier this week.

    Posted by Ashton Kutcher on Wednesday, December 31, 2014

    Something Mila Kunis definitely will admit to, however, is that she thinks about baby Wyatt all the time–even during sex with Ashton Kutcher. She shared this little tidbit of information with James Corden, too.

    “Somebody gave us that advice when I first got pregnant, to make sure we have time for ourselves,” Kunis explained. “My parents live down the street, so we have them do what’s called monitor sitting, so the baby goes down to sleep and they have to watch the monitor. So I would say once a week we go on a date or something, just to connect. And we make an effort not to talk about the baby.”

    “It’s almost impossible when you’ve had a child,” Corden said. “To the point that you may be talking about it when you’re having sex.”

    “I’ve thought it but I’ve never said it,” Mila Kunis said. “I have been like, ‘I wonder if that’s her, making that noise….wait, what’s happening?’”

    When do you suppose Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher will tie that proverbial knot? By the time they get around to it, no one will even care. Many will likely think they’ve long been married anyway.

  • Mila Kunis Confirms That She Is ‘Maybe’ Married to Ashton Kutcher

    Miller Kunis has confirmed that she is married to Ashton Kutcher — maybe.

    In a pre-taped episode of James Corden’s The Late Late Show, Mila Kunis reportedly sort of confirmed that she and Ashton Kutcher tied the knot.

    Of course, no one knows for sure at the point if the parents of little Wyatt, five months, are now married.

    Us Weekly says they have confirmed that they are not married after the rumors surfaced once again..

    The rumors stem from Mila Kunis’ reported response to a question by James Corden about her marriage status.

    The UK tabloid The Daily Mirror reported that Mila Kunis confessed that she had wed Kutcher with a coy response of “maybe.”

    The Late Late Show posted a clip of Corden jokingly demanding Kunis to show him the band on her left ring finger.

    “They are married, look!” he exclaims as he shows the world her finger.

    Us reports that Kunis and Corden were just joking around.

    This isn’t the first time a talk show host has pressed Mila Kunis on marriage rumors.

    At the start of the year, Ashton Kutcher, 37, posted to Instagram signed “The Kutchers,” which sparked marriage rumors.

    Ellen DeGeneres jumped on this tidbit when Mila Kunis visited The Ellen Degeneres Show, asking the 36-year-old actress if the photo was proof that she was married.

    “I don’t know, I don’t know,” Mila Kunis. “We could just be a plural. My daughter has his last name legally. So thus, there’s multiple Kutchers. He has a brother.”

    Mile Kunis remains aloof about her marriage status, but she loves to dish on the men in her life.

    “He is an amazing dad,” Mila Kunis told DeGeneres of Ashton. “I wouldn’t have done this by myself. He is 100 percent present.”

  • Mila Kunis And Ashton Kutcher ‘Maybe’ Got Married?

    Mila Kunis was put on the hot seat at James Corden’s The Late Late Show on Monday and her revelation made everybody sizzle with anticipation.

    Kunis sat with actor Tom Hanks as one of the first guests at Corden’s late night TV show. While talking about her new baby with Kutcher, Kunis says, “He’s an amazing father. Hanks then remarked, “You mean your hus…,” which egged Corden into teasing Kunis further.

    “Are you married? Did you get married? Have you got married?” Corden asked the 31-year-old new mom.

    “I don’t know. Maybe,” Kunis replied with a smile. “Maybe.”

    Cordon then asked to see Kunis’ hand where her diamond engagement ring sits. “Well that’s a yes as far as I’m concerned,” Cordon exclaims. “You got married! They got married everybody!”

    “We’re gonna turn this in to a wedding party!” Cordon announced to a cheering audience during the taping of the show’s pilot episode.

    Kunis and Kutcher were on-screen lovers in That 70’s Show and started dating in 2012 after Kutcher separated from Demi Moore. They got engaged in 2014 and welcomed their first child in October.

    The A-list couple sparked secret wedding rumors over the holidays when Kutcher shared “Happy New Year Love The Kutchers” on social media.

    “I don’t know, I don’t know,”  Kunis said during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres when asked about the “revealing” Facebook message. “We could just be a plural. My daughter has his last name legally. So thus, there’s multiple Kutchers. He has a brother.”

    However, a source told US Magazine that Kunis and Corden are just joking around during the actress’ guest appearance. Kunis and Kutcher are focusing their attention to five-month-old daughter Wyatt. Amidst rumors and a lot of “maybe’s), the couple have not been secretly married and are yet to tie the knot. 

    The Late Late Show with James Corden airs on Mondays at 12:30pm on CBS.

  • Mila Kunis Confirms Marriage to Ashton Kutcher on James Corden’s ‘Late Late Show’

    Mila Kunis has finally confirmed that she and her former That 70s Show costar Ashton Kutcher are, in fact, married. She and Kutcher welcomed baby Wyatt into the world a few months ago, and fans have speculated since shortly thereafter that the two had secretly wed.

    So how did this confirmation come into play? It was while taping an episode of James Corden’s Late Late Show (it will actually air tonight, Monday, March 23rd) that Mila Kunis was put on the spot.

    The Daily Mirror reports that the British comedian came right out and asked Kunis if she and Ashton Kutcher are married.

    “Maybe,” Mila Kunis coyly replied.

    Either you’re married or you’re not,” he said.

    Kunis still responded, “maybe.”

    Corden “then demanded she showed her wedding finger,” according to the Mirror.

    Mila Kunis just happened to be wearing what looked like a wedding band on the ring finger of her left hand.

    “They are married, look,” James Corden said.

    Corden apparently felt bad that he might have embarrassed Mila Kunis, so he asked her when they went to commercial break if she was okay with what had just been revealed.

    “It’s fine,” she reportedly said with a laugh.

    So far reps for both Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have yet to respond to requests for comments or confirmation on the couple’s marriage.

    Fans can watch Mila Kunis on James Corden’s debut on The Late Late Show on Monday night on CBS. In addition to Kunis, Tom Hanks will also make a guest appearance.

    Do you think this will serve as the official revelation of a bona fide marriage between Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher? And if so, why did they wait so long to let people know they’d tied the knot?

  • Kristin Scott Thomas Named Dame by Queen Elizabeth

    Kristin Scott Thomas can add something besides actor to her already impressive resume. On Tuesday, December 30th, Queen Elizabeth named her a dame. The honor is to women what being knighted is to men.

    Kristin Scott Thomas, who is due to play the British monarch in stage play The Audience in 2015, said at first she didn’t believe the news.

    “I am thrilled, astonished and worried that I might suddenly wake up,” she said.

    Scott Thomas received an Academy Award nomination back in 1997 for her role in The English Patient.

    She wasn’t the only one on Tuesday to receive such exciting news, however. Actress Joan Collins, fashion designer Mary Quant (known for designing the mini-skirt back in the 1960s), and actress Emily Watson were all named as dames. Actor John Hurt, chemist Simon Campbell (one of the inventors of the erectile dysfunction medication Viagra), and comic actor James Corden (he will soon take over on The Late Late Show for Craig Ferguson) were all named as knights.

    All of the aforementioned honors are bestowed by the monarch, however they were chosen by committees of civil servants. Nominations came from both the public and the government.

    Knights are hereby addressed as ‘Sir,’ and then the person’s name–for example, Sir Simon Campbell. Dames are addressed as ‘Dame,’ and then their name–for example, Dame Kristin Scott Thomas.

    Congratulations to Dame Kristin Scott Thomas, Dame Joan Collins, Dame Mary Quant, and Dame Emily Watson, as well as to Sir John Hurt, Sir Simon Campbell, and Sir James Corden. May they live up to the expectations of Queen Elizabeth.

  • James Corden Prepares For His Big Move To America

    James Corden Prepares For His Big Move To America

    British actor James Corden was recently chosen as Craig Ferguson’s replacement for The Late Late Show. As he prepares to take over the reins of the talk show, he is also preparing his family for the big relocation to Hollywood. Corden has been in America on and off for film shoots as well as performances of his hit Broadway show One Man, Two Guvnors, but this time he will be setting up camp in America with his wife and two children for good. Corden is slated to take over the talk show in March.

    “I think I will be stimulated beyond anything I’ve ever done in my career,” Corden said in an interview with CBS News’ Mark Phillips. “Here, every day, an hour of TV. Whether you like it or not, there’s another show tomorrow. If I could have told my 12-year-old self that at this stage in my life I would be offered one of these chairs, one of these five chairs, his head would explode!”

    With the success of One Man, Two Guvnors, Corden admits that he’s not worried about whether or not his brand of humor would translate well to American audiences. He tells Phillips, “If it’s good it travels. There’s a weird thing with us in Britain that we would go, ‘Oh, will this work in America?’ No one in America is ever going, ‘I wonder if this’ll work in Britain!’”

    In an interview with Express, he revealed that he was surprised after being picked for the hosting job. “I can’t believe it,” said Corden. “What am I doing there? I’m terrified. What’s the chance of a chubby guy going to America, doing a talk show every night and being anything other than a complete mistake?”

    However, Corden is welcoming the challenge head-on. After all, his stock has been rising recently especially after being cast in the Disney adaptation of Into the Woods alongside Emily Blunt, Johnny Depp, and Meryl Streep.

  • Into the Woods: Sneak Peek of Johnny Depp as the Wolf

    Into the Woods: Sneak Peek of Johnny Depp as the Wolf

    I wish…

    Fans of the Stephen Sondheim musical Into the Woods are anxious for the film to arrive this December. But in the meantime, Entertainment Weekly’s annual Holiday Movie Preview is giving audiences a sneak peek with four different colorful covers featuring characters from the film.

    Cover 1 of 4 gives us the first glimpse of actor Johnny Depp in the role of The Wolf. Wearing something similar to a zoot suit, Depp stands alongside actress Lilla Crawford who plays Little Red Riding Hood.

    Others in the cast include Meryl Streep (The Iron Lady) as the Witch, Mackenzie Mauzy (Broadway cast of Next to Normal) as Rapunzel, Anna Kendrick (Up in the Air) as Cinderella, Chris Pine (Star Trek Into Darkness) as Cinderella’s Prince, James Corden (the new host of The Late Late Show on CBS) as the Baker, and Emily Blunt (Edge of Tomorrow) as the Baker’s Wife.

    “I’ve been offered many witches over the years, starting when I was 40, and I said no to all of them,” Streep told Entertainment weekly. “But this was really fun because it played with the notion of what witches mean. They represented age and ugliness and scary powers we don’t understand. So here’s my opportunity to say, here’s what you wish for when you’re getting old.”

    Others in the cast include Daniel Huttlestone (Les Miserables) as Jack, Tracey Ullman (The Tracy Ullman Show) as Jack’s Mother, Christine Baranski (The Good Wife) as Cinderella’s Stepmother, and Frances de la Tour (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) as the Giant.

    For those who aren’t familiar with the story of Into the Woods, it is a “modern twist on the beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tales, intertwining the plots of a few choice stories and exploring the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests. This humorous and heartfelt musical follows the classic tales of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rapunzel—all tied together by an original story involving a baker and his wife, their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the witch who has put a curse on them.”

    The original Broadway production premiered on November 5, 1987 and ran for 764 performances, winning Tony Awards for Best Score, Best Book, and Best Actress in a Musical (Joanna Gleason as the Baker’s Wife).

    Although the big-screen adaptation will include songs from the musical including “Children Will Listen,” “Giants in the Sky,” “On the Steps of the Palace,” and “Agony,” among others, some aspects of the film will be different. While still keeping dark elements, some changes include The Wolf’s relationship with Little Red, which will no longer be sexual, Rapunzel not meeting a grisly death, and the Baker’s Wife not having an affair with Cinderella’s Prince.

    “I didn’t want this to look like a cartoon world,” said director Rob Marshall (Chicago). “It’s not sunny, sunny, sunny – we wanted a sense of danger.”

    Into the Woods hits theaters on December 25 (Christmas Day).
