The Ends: A freakishly minded movie obsessive...

The Ends: A freakishly minded movie obsessive at Flickr has spent the last year compiling the closing-title cards from 133 films (and counting), providing hours of guessing-game fun and/or free procrastination material to close down your day and maybe even your week. A new one is up this week, and alas, we didn't know this entry either. Share the challenge with someone you love, but be warned: It's addictive. [Flickr via Cinematical]

Dane Cook Surprised By Crown Bar Wait

Douglas Reinhardt — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 17:00:00 EDT

The Tila Tequila of stand up comedy, Dane Cook, was told to wait a little bit before entering the popular Hollywood watering hole Crown Bar on Wednesday night. The bouncer told Cook that he would have to wait because the bar was over the capacity for jerks. The bouncer said, "There's always a lot of douchey, jerky guys here every night, but I think the jerk store is having their office party here tonight or something. So we're at our quota right now. I don't know how long it's going to be, though." Cook's friend thought if the wait was going to be really long that they should just go over to Happy Endings or some place like that instead.

Gwyneth Paltrow Gives David Letterman's Knee A Sensual Rubdown

Mark Graham — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 15:55:00 EDT

Gwyneth Paltrow's bid to reestablish herself both as a commercially viable actress and a MILF-y sexpot reached new heights last night on The Late Show With David Letterman. After running into the Ed Sullivan theater looking like she just got done with a spinning class at the Equinox Gym, she entered David Letterman's notoriously chilly environs wearing a sleeveless top that was scantily cut down to there. After dispensing with the formalities (Dave complimented her towering heels, asked how the kids were, blah blah blah), Gwyneth launched into a story about how she had trouble performing a certain scene while filming Iron Man because she had recently injured her knee. While Dave feigned interest in the story of her damaged joint, Gwynnie recognized his lack of interest and decided to do something about it. Namely, she gave his knee (and a bit of his thigh) a nice little rubdown. While we can spout off a number of instances over the years where Dave has been kissed, hugged and even flashed by his guests, we believe this is the first time a guest has ever dared touch Dave's leg for this length of time. More pix of Gwyneth, including the lacy see-through getup she wore to an Iron Man screening last night, after the jump.

BONUS: Speaking of flashing...

Beloved Coen Brothers regular John Goodman was spotted exit a restroom in Malibu early this morning. Goodman did his best Ace Ventura impression and said that he did not want to go in there for a while. "I had one too many wings the other night over at Happy Endings," Goodman remarked with a smirk.

Bravo's Emmy Bounty Inspires Andy Cohen To Give Something Back

Seth — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 15:39:52 EDT

While it's always nice to read Emmy nominee reactions, attempts at not coming across as too boastful can sometimes make for colorless quotes. Luckily, blogging Bravo executive Andy Cohen is never one to dampen his enthusiasm for anything him-related, and so we take you now to his report from the Bravo offices, where staffers are so ebullient over their nine nominations, they are offering free hand-jobs to all takers:

I am more scattered than usual this morning because of Bravo's big news - NINE EMMY NOMINATIONS! That includes nominations for "Top Chef" and "Project Runway" for Outstanding Reality Competition Program and Kathy Griffin's "Life on the D List" for Best Reality Program. "Inside the Actors Studio" got its 13th nomination for Outstanding Nonfiction Series. Whaaaaaayt!? And... Wowza!!!!!!

There's a great vibe in the office today. Everybody's smiling. The Magical Elves are having a party in their office today. I know that Picture This Productions must be chillaxin' by some pool eating bon bons with Kathy Griffin. Hopefully Jim Lipton is sipping fine whiskey somewhere. We had great emails this morning from Michael Kor's [sic] office and Padma and Gail and on and on. It is nice to have something to cheer about.
Full Release Massages for everybody!

Bravo's reality TV awards show bounty means only one thing—that NYC-based Andy is headed back to our Coast for the ceremony. And wherever Andy goes, so do his portable massage table and toolbox crammed full of perfumed oils, lotions, and water-based lubricants, a vivid reminder that the world's most accessible basic cable exec is fully available to offer Academy members and gym-tautened cater waiters his appreciative reacharound services.
