But not everyone's celebrating. In an email entitled "Cougar Goes Too Far," one irate tipster claims Parker's a man-stealing tart.

According to the source, the perpetually-dazed Parker snatched 25-year old Mars away from his girlfriend, Lindsey Brown, a journalist for local Mississippi station WTOK. And now Parker, who was left by baby daddy Billy Crudup, should wear a sign warning the world of her evil bitchery: The email, in its unedited glory:

Readers may find it interesting that actress Mary Louise Parker who was dumped late in her pregnancy five years ago went on to rip apart the three year relationship of her new boyfriend Charlie Mars and his then 25 year old Mississippi girlfriend.

Early June Mars was still in a relationship with news anchor Lindsey Brown who is a journalist in Meridian Mississippi. Mars and Brown met while Brown was finishing up college at the University of Mississippi. It was Brown who helped Mars move through his substance/drug abuse problems he has battled for the last decade.

You would think a woman who suffered so greatly at the hands of a man would work to make sure other women aren't betrayed the same way...

The note ends with "ladies beware, cougars have no shame," which leads us to believe there's an inter-generational war brewing. And we're putting out money on the cougars — those girls have been around and no doubt have some tricks up their sleeves.

<![CDATA[Hollywood's Sleepy Eyed Men Ruin Everything!]]> Paul Giamatti ruined Twilight. Director Paul Haggis inexplicably continues to get work. The Watchmen ruins Nic Cage's DVD's dominance. Howard Zinn ruins Matt Damon or vice-versa.

<![CDATA[Zack Snyder Promises Giant, 'Hardcore' Blue Wang In Uncut 'Watchmen']]> One of our tipsters just wrote in with more information on Billy Crudup's blue Watchmen wang—and for as impressed as he was, director Zack Snyder says there's more where that came from.

Says our tipster, who just saw the film:

There is indeed shitloads of blue wang. And it's huge. In the comic book, it's very average, and uncut, but the film is completely the opposite. Massive and circumcised. Given that it's digital, was it Crudup or his agent that insisted on the impressive cut cock?

Perhaps Dr. Manhattan's foreskin is just one of the things restored in the uncut (ahem) version of Watchmen. Hollywood Outbreak has audio (captured here) of the director discussing filmdom's most notorious cerulean wang, and Snyder promises that in the eventual DVD, there is so much more big blue (in motion, even!) that even a magnum Watchmen condom couldn't contain it. Also, an initial foray into a 3-D version of the film got three WB executives pregnant; they are now required to turn their blue babies over to Fox.

<![CDATA['Watchmen' Review Answers Burning Question About Blue Wang Screen Time]]> As some mixed, early reviews leak out, the debate about Watchmen's fidelity to its source novel continues to rage. That's all well and good, but we just want to know about Billy Crudup's blue wang.

After one trailer where the radioactive member made a surprise appearance, all subsequent Watchmen footage has been frustratingly free of full-frontal. Thankfully, a Hollywood Elsewhere reader who managed to get into an early screening answered all of our burning questions (perhaps they wouldn't burn so much if we used protection?). In short, the amateur critic was disappointed at how inert and borderline campy the film was, blah blah blah, what about the wang:

"There were certainly no cheers at the end. About 80% of the audience rushed out of the theatre the second the credits began; minimal congregating outside. I did come across a group of three 20-something guys, holding their free give-away Watchmen posters, seemingly doing their best to talk themselves into liking the film.

"I almost don't want to spoil this for you, but there's a lot of blue penis in this film. Sadly, I'd say this was one of the few surprises and entertaining parts of the entire experience. It's not everyday that a mainstream Hollywood movie flashes blue Johnson!

This is true, since they deleted it from Frost/Nixon.

<![CDATA['Watchmen' Viral Video Reimagines An America Blessed by Billy Crudup's Blue Wang]]> Watchmen is a movie full of "what ifs," like, "What if Larry Gordon hadn't been a total dope?" and "What if American history was retold through the perspective of Billy Crudup's nuclear penis?"

The latter is the subject of a brand-new viral video, which re-weaves the American tapestry to include Crudup's big, blue superhero, Dr. Manhattan. How was he created? What powers does he possess, and how have they transformed the world as we know it? What was up with that terrible Dr. Manhattan cartoon on Saturday mornings? All those queries are answered and then some, but we have one complaint: the news report is full of censored wang. If there's anything the moviegoing audience needed to begin preparing for, it's some incredible, cerulean hero-steak. [Youtube]

<![CDATA[New 'Watchmen' Trailer 100% Devoid of Billy Crudup's Blue Wang]]> What great bard was it that once said, "You don't know what you got til it's gone"? Superman, right? Maybe it was one of the Wonder Twins? Ah, well, no matter — it's just that this brand-new, second official trailer for Zach Snyder's Watchmen calls to mind that intense pang of loss one feels when something dear is stripped away. In this case, we are referring to Billy Crudup's naked blue wang, which seems to have gone missing.

It was less than a month ago that Crudup's CG cerulean phallus first thrust itself into the national consciousness, and in that time we've stopped pondering matters like, "Dude, Rorshach sounds just like Christian Bale as Batman" or "Nope, nope, still don't care for that Silk Spectre costume," instead devoting our thoughts to only one question: "The wang — how much are we gonna see it?" Sadly, the new trailer is totally wang-free, indicating that whole scenes — even ones that Crudup does not appear in! — may occur without a glimpse of his flaccid, blue Lower Manhattan. For shame, Mr. Snyder. Please rectify this situation with a red-band (or blue-band?) clip, post-haste.

<![CDATA['Watchmen' Brings Its Full CGI Power To Bear on Billy Crudup's Exposed Wang]]> For months, fans obsessed with Zack Snyder's superhero opus Watchmen have harbored fears about the movie's epic running time, wondering whether the version that comes out in theaters (assuming it ever does) would be cut or uncut. Now, thanks to the HD version of the second Watchmen trailer, we have a new focus for that very same question: Billy Crudup's bare, cerulean penis! As big blue hero Dr. Manhattan, Crudup spends the bulk of his on-screen time in the buff, and unlike the anachronistically clothed Spartans that starred in Snyder's 300, the director is allowing Crudup to let it all hang out. So, is it real, or is it CG? The NSFW wang, after the jump:

<![CDATA[Who's Watching The 'Watchmen' For 2 Hours, 43 Minutes?]]> Though it's currently tied up in litigation, there may be no 2009 film more anticipated than Zack Snyder's adaptation of the seminal graphic novel Watchmen. Even the federal judge handling the studio dispute made sure to note that he loved the trailer, though he cautioned the filmmakers, “There’s always a risk that if you get one of these very evocative trailers, you put pressure on the movie." Thanks, Judge Fees! Meanwhile, Snyder hasn't let the pending legal death match slow him down — last night, he showed off 25 minutes of well-received footage to a select group of journalists. Many noted its utter fidelity to Alan Moore's original graphic novel, though there was one audacious new six-minute sequence added by Snyder himself:

The first thing he showed us was the opening credit sequence...With pin point accurate precision, we get shot after shot that’s filmed in slow motion where we see actual events mixed in with the Watchmen universe. We see Dr. Manhattan with JFK, Adrian Veidt/Ozymandias outside Studio 54, Dr. Manhattan on the moon, plus tons of other crazy things…as I don’t want to spoil it all. During all these shots we hear Bob Dylan’s The Times They Are a Changing, and it’s played throughout all the photos and filmmaker credits. While the song is under 4 minutes, they’ve clearly extended the song as the credits are 6 minutes.

What’s amazing about the credits is the way it slowly submerges you into the universe. The shots have a purpose and a motion, they’re almost 3D the way the camera moves in them. Trust me, after these credits end, every viewer will be entranced.

Also notable: the running time, which is said to be two hours, forty-three minutes. Back at Comic-Con, Snyder told Anne Thompson, "If Dark Knight got two and a half hours, Watchmen should get fifteen minutes more" — looks like he got his wish.

As Watchmen fans, we're certainly happy that the movie intends to follow Moore's vision so closely, but are there still elements of the original that could have been trimmed for running time? Call us heretical, but we can think of a certain climactic (and near-interminable) Ozymandias speech that could probably benefit from judicial pruning...

<![CDATA['Watchmen' Teaser Debuts to Utter Confusion, Slight Ear Pain]]> In a summer where we seemingly can't go a full day without facing down some newer, denser wave of comic-book effluvia, the recently released Watchmen teaser is up there among the more nerve-rattling encounters we've endured. It may just be the destabilizing Billy Corgan whine, or poor Billy Crudup writhing in CGI anguish, or the idea that Zack Snyder is actually the "visionary director of 300" to which the ad copy refers. Or maybe it's just that the only teasers that seem to captivate our attention any longer feature either vaguely racist chihuahua dance numbers, Brad Pitt aging backwards in Spanish or some permutation of men saving Earth — usually brooding and often in slow-motion. Maybe it's just that we need to get out more. In any case, here you go. Did we mention Billy Corgan whines? Never mind. [Empire]
