  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • ‘Bob Newhart Show’ Finale Honored On Craig Ferguson’s ‘The Late Late Show’ Farewell

    The Bob Newhart Show finale was honored by Craig Ferguson during his farewell to the The Late Late Show Friday.

    In a surprise twist, Bob Newhart was revealed to be Secretariat the Pantomime Horse all these years as he got Friday’s The Late Late Show finale under way in a Newhart-style ending.

    As the 52-year-old host chatted with Geoff the robot, he wondered who it might be inside the horse costume.

    “Lift up your head, let’s see who you really are,” he hollered to Secretariat, who was hanging out in his stall. As Secretariat complied and took off the head of the costume, it was revealed to be Newhart.

    “What are you doing here?” Ferguson asked.

    “Hey, guy, it’s YOUR dream,” replied the Newhart, referring to the classic final scene from his sitcom.

    Ferguson woke up from his dream in bed beside Drew Carey, wondering if the past 10 years had been a dream all along, spoofing the sitcom’s ending when Newhart woke up with Suzanne Pleshette beside him.

    Ferguson’s only guest for the evening was Tonight Show host Jay Leno.

    “Just two guys with nothing to do,” said Ferguson.

    “They may take our talk shows,” Leno added, “but they will never take our freedom!”

    Ferguson ended the show thanking his viewers.

    “The people that made this show are you,” he said. “You came to a show that was like, let’s be honest, a bit of a fixer-upper, and it kind of stayed that way.”

    The Scottish-born host, who became an American a few years back, marveled at the impact the show has had on him.

    “I think that what was more overwhelming, more than anything else in the experience of doing this show, was making a connection with a country, which I became a part of, which is astonishing to me,” he said.

    “Even in the course of this show, I became an American… officially, and particularly for my friends at the IRS, I am now a fully-fledged American. … I wanted to do this show and now we’ve done this show, and if you will indulge me in whatever I am doing now and come to whatever I do next, I’d be very grateful, because my kids are still young.”

  • 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.

  • Drew Carey and Craig Ferguson Switch Jobs for April Fools’

    Longtime pals Drew Carey and Craig Ferguson plan to play the ultimate April Fools’ Day prank by switching places.

    Ferguson will host The Price is Right on April 1 (11:00 AM-12:00 Noon, ET), and Carey will host The Late Late Show on April 1 (12:37-1:37 AM ET). Ferguson and Carey spent nearly a decade working together on The Drew Carey Show, which aired from 1995-2004. Both of their shows airing on CBS, and having offices and studios next to each other, helps keep their friendship strong.

    On The Late Late Show’s March 17 episode, Ferguson and Carey announced their plans to switch their hosting gigs. “Hey, Craig Ferguson and I, for April Fools’, are switching jobs. He’s going to host The Price is Right and I’m gonna host The Late Late Show,” revealed Carey. “Now this is for April Fools,’ so don’t tell anyone!” Ferguson added.

    During Carey’s Late Late Show hosting stint, he’ll interview comedian Carl Reiner, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Connie Schultz, and rocker Joan Jett, who will perform her single “Any Weather” with The Blackhearts. Carey’s Price is Right announcer George Gray will join him on The Late Late Show, and  The Price is Right models Rachel Reynolds, Amber Lancaster, and Manuela Arbeláez will also be included in the switch. Besides his Price is Right gig, Carey currently competes on this season of Dancing with the Stars.

    Ferguson will be in the company of great The Price is Right hosts, some of them include Bob Barker, Tom Kennedy, Carey, and Dennis James. Ferguson plans to bring his robot skeleton sidekick, Geoff Peterson, and his pantomime horse Secretariat, who will both act as models for The Price is Right. Ferguson’s Late Late Show announcer Shadoe Stevens will also be joining him.

    Ferguson already taped his soon-to-air episode of The Price is Right. Last year for April Fools’, Carey and Gray switched places with the models.
