    Jessica Jones–the character–is fierce, and Krysten Ritter is all over that. In a new clip touting the series, fans can see what Jessica Jone–the Marvel series–will feature.

  • Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul Gets Over 50,000 Signatures To Keep Toys On Shelves

    Aaron Paul has taken the fight to keep Breaking Bad action figures on Toys R Us shelves to everyone’s favorite battleground: Twitter.

    A few weeks ago, a Florida Mom named Susan Schrivjer decided that it was inappropriate for Toys R Us to sell action figures based on characters of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad. “It’s about drugs, you’re selling it in a children’s toy store?” She told her local Fox 4 TV Station.

    She also started an online petition on Change.org which gained 9,298 signatures. Because of this, Toys R Us pulled the action figures from their shelves, saying they had gone on “an indefinite sabbatical”, according to ABC News.

    Aaron Paul would not stand for this.

    He’s not wrong. According to Professor of Psychology Aurora M. Sherman of Oregon State University, “Playing with Barbie has an effect on girls’ ideas about their place in the world. It creates a limit on the sense of what’s possible for their future. While it’s not a massive effect, it is a measurable and statistically significant effect.”

    Another petition has started on Change.org to keep the action figures on Toys R Us shelves. As of this writing, it now has 57,885 supporters, which is more than six times the number who signed the petition to get rid of the toys.

    As for Aaron Paul, he’s currently waiting for a response from Toys R Us:

  • “Breaking Bad” Dominates “SNL” Premiere

    “Breaking Bad” Dominates “SNL” Premiere

    “Breaking Bad” is absolutely everywhere these days, and “Saturday Night Live” is no exception. The “Breaking Bad” series finale expectation dominated the season premiere. Early on, Jesse Pinkman, also known to his friends as Aaron Paul, stopped in to help Jay Pharaoh’s President Obama sell Obamacare.

    Jesse stepped in to help the president after a series of regular Americans lamented about the pitfall’s of the president’s health care plan, including a dad (Bobby Moynihan) and his deadbeat son (rookie cast member Beck Bennett) who doesn’t have a job but remains on his dad’s health care plan thanks to the fact that he was not over 26.

    “If I’m such a bum, how come I have health care?” he asked.

    Pinkman and the “SNL” cast reprised a long-standing internet meme that says Walter White, the mild-mannered school teacher and “Breaking Bad” protagonist, would not have had to resort to making and selling meth and killing people to pay for his cancer treatments, if only he had health insurance that provided the coverage available through the Obamacare exchanges.

    “I had this friend and he got sick. Like, cancer cancer sick. But because there wasn’t Obamcare, he couldn’t afford treatments. So he was like, backed into a corner,” said “Jesse from New Mexico.”

    “And keep in mind – this man was a teacher with a family,” Obama added.

    “So, he did what any of us would have done. He started cooking meth. And soon it wasn’t just meth. It was murder. And not regular murder. Like, he blew half a guy’s face off.”

    Here, the president stepped in to stop the impending carnage, then Pinkman asked if anyone wanted to know what happened to his friend. The entire crowd shouted “No!” in unison, echoing the millions of “Breaking Bad” viewers trying to aviod spoilers. And of course there was the equally hilarious “SNL” requisite commercial break:
