Video Clips: February 2008 Archives

Aside from being a jackass to an 11-year-old reporter for Starz Life, Gary Busey actually had a point when he finally got around to answering the question on what advice he might have for these celebutants who keep getting in trouble. He called Paris Hilton out for reverting to her vapid self after all of her proclamations last year about devoting herself to charity or whatever after her "traumatic" incarceration.
Still, he's kinda scary ain't he?

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliff got a lot more than he expected when he took the stage at a London awards ceremony...Take a look!

This video is a freaking riot with all-star cameos and an unbelievable recreation of the "We Are the World" video from the mid-80s. I'm not crazy about some of the gay stereotypes but overall, it's a scream.

Enjoy!

I love when Eric Bana has a new movie coming because that means I get to see his handsome face as he does a buncha publicity. Next up for him is "The Other Boleyn Girl" and he did an interview or the March issue of GQ magazine. He talks about the movie and yada yada yada but the most interesting part is when he talks about his work on "Full Frontal," an Australian sketch show.

Here's the trext from that part of the story: "Bana also does two excellent celebrity impressions, of Tom Cruise and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and in some of his funniest work separately interviews them in the guise of a third character, a real-life Aussie TV personality named Ray Martin. In the most provocative sketch of the entire series, Bana-as-Cruise chokes up while discussing his love for his kids, at which Bana-as-Martin comfortingly clasps the star's hands. Startled, Cruise gazes at Martin. Then both men lean forward into a passionate kiss. 'I'm sure Tom hasn't seen it,' Bana says uneasily when I bring up the sketch. He downplays what the sketch suggests about Cruise's sexuality. Ray Martin, he says, is a notorious sycophant, and 'I wanted to get to the side of him being so in love with the person he's interviewing that he wants to pash them.' Maybe so, but I think Bana's being a bit disingenuous here. Watch the sketch for yourself on YouTube and tell me it's not Cruise who initiates the pash."

Here is a clip of the sketch:

This is a funny clip from a UK show called "Never Mind the Buzzcocks" (I'm not kidding) that features a pretty funny back-and-forth between the dreamy and talented John Barrowman and the show's host Simon Amstell. They are having what Barrowman dubs "a gay-off."

Check it out!

As good as Neil Patrick Harris is in his Emmy-nominated role as Barney on CBS' "How I Met Your Mother," he's even more fun as himself as you can see from this clip of his appearance on Friday as a guest of Conan O'Brien. I love the imitation of Regis Philbin toward the end!

This is actually a quite enjoyable interview that aired last night. Lance is relaxed and appealing and Jimmy does a terrific job moving the conversation around. It's also really funny when Jimmy holds up a mock People Magazine cover, riffing on the actual one that announced that Lance is gay.

OK, it was exciting to sit next to George Clooney at the Oscar luncheon last week. But, ya know, it was just as thrilling for me to sit next to Sam Harris at a screening of "Hairspray" last year because I have been a fan of his forever. That night at the ArcLight Theatre in Hollywood, my pal Jim Key and I happened to sit next to Sam and his great friend Bridget Moynahan who was very, very pregnant at that point.

I just came across this video on SamHarris.com that has him and Bridget chatting about their friendship and Sam being her birth partner when she gave birth to her baby. The father of the child is Bridget's ex, Tom Brady, who is not mentioned in the video.

As part of his "Friend Friday" series, Sam says: "I was the birth partner for Bridget, and I wiped amniotic fluid from between her legs. It was the most amazing experience ever, ever. You were pretty incredible."

Says Bridget: "So were you."

They are adorable together. Check it out.
