Chaz Bono is headed to Secret Life of the American Teenager, but he wasn't picked for the role as a transgender man. "One of the characters [George] is questioning the validity of his child [Robie] being his because the kid doesn't share his hair color. The producers were looking for someone like me who doesn't have the same hair color as their parents. It's a funny scene."
Warehouse 13 has announced their return to the air on April 29, and they celebrated with a trailer for the second half of the season. The main scene with our man Jinks has the agent getting splattered in the face with something wet and sticky.
If you were online yesterday, you were aware that The Onion made a disturbing tweet about nine-year-old Oscar nominee Quvenzhane Wallis, for which the CEO apologized and promised action. But many former staffers for the humor site are not happy – about the apology.

"We're not going to explain a lot," former Features Editor of "The Onion" Joe Garden told me about Thing X, the parody website created by he and fellow former "Onion" employees for Adult Swim. And it's a good thing, too, because perhaps the best part of this new venture is how ominously baffling it is.
This summer, Adult Swim seized an opportunity to band a free-floating group of newly unemployed satirists together to form a website, and according to Garden, they didn't do too much explaining either.
"They have not told us what they want at all. They said, 'Make a website.'" Garden said of Thing X's parent company. "The prospect of breaking up 'The Onion' was pretty depressing for everybody, but since the end of June we've had the opportunity to expand and do something we normally wouldn't have done. We have the same freedom that we did...

On a recent Friday evening in New York City, a group of writers and comedians assembled in the SoHo offices of The Onion for "Whiskey Friday," an informal drinks and conversation gathering created by features editor Joe Garden.
Similar to the Algonquin Roundtable, only with less cribbage and more naughtily re-captioned "Family Circus" cartoons, the event attracts a variety of New York comedy stalwarts, as well as the occasional visiting dignitary. This particular session had the distinction of counting actor James Urbaniak among the attendees.
Urbaniak, who is perhaps best known as the voice of Dr. Rusty Venture on Adult Swim's "The Venture Brothers," is one of those actors who flies under the radar of the mainstream, while being an iconic celebrity amongst fans of indie films, off-Broadway theatre and alternative comedy.
He got his start in the '80s in New York City, performing with various theater companies,...

This past Sunday, The Werewolf's Guide To Life co-author Bob Powers participated in a Werewolves Vs. Vampires debate on NPR's All Things Considered, in a chat with Joe Garden, co-author of The New Vampire's Handbook. It was a brief segment in advance of this Friday's release of New Moon, but we were happy to put in a few words in support of the werewolf lifestyle. There was one question in this debate that we wish we'd had more time to address, and it's been on our minds ever since. Moderator Guy Raz brought up the fact that werewolves have seen a recent increase in popularity, at least as far as their representation in pop culture and fiction is concerned (New Moon, The Wolfman remake, Teen Wolf coming to MTV, etc). The question is, why now? As with most everything...

“Big Fan” is like “The Wrestler”, only it’s about football and Patton Oswalt isn’t Mickey Rourke. Other than that, they should probably have called this movie “The Wrestler 2: The Football Fan Guy”, because it has the exact same tone and vibe as that other film, which writer/director Robert D. Siegel also wrote. With “Big Fan”, Siegel is making his directorial debut, and oh boy is it a doozy. This movie will either depress the hell out of you or make you glad you kinda like football, but not that much. But hey, there is a bright side to all this: if it had been Plaxico Burrows, Oswalt’s character might have gotten shot instead of just beaten up. Paul Aufiero, a hardcore New York Giants football fan, struggles to deal with the consequences when he is beaten up by his favorite player. Starring Patton Oswalt, Kevin Corrigan,...
