Tracy Gives Jon Ridiculous Nickname

Morgan can't focus on a topic for more than 30 seconds

(NEWSER) - If Tracy Morgan’s interview on last night’s Daily Show is any indication, the actor is a lot like his 30 Rock character. His appearance, though ostensibly to promote his new movie, Death at a Funeral, instead centered around a $75 debt owed to him by Tobey Maguire. Morgan, however, took quite a few conversational detours, touching on Tiger Woods (like Jim Carrey , he thinks Elin knew) and bestowing a hilarious new nickname on Stewart—to find out what it is, jump to 5:22 in the video.

New Meme Gets Kick Out of Jolie 'Leg Bombing'

Angelina gam busting out all over Internet

(NEWSER) - No one can quite shake the image of Angelina Jolie obsessively flashing her toned right leg from the slit up her dress at the Oscars. So what to do? Turn to the new "leg bombing" meme that's a runaway hit with Internet fans. The burgeoning meme has Angelina's leg handing (booting?) an Oscar to a winner, attached to Napoleon and Mahatma Gandhi, being raised at Iwo Jima by soldiers, and sticking out of a lamb carcass being hoisted by Meryl Streep playing Julia Child. Check out lots of variations at Pinterest here or the Sun to get a thighful—or follow AngiesRightLeg with 32,000 others on Twitter ("I just can't get enough of myself," gushes the gam.). More»

Tom Hanks' New Sci-Fi Series to Debut on Yahoo

Electric City to feature post-apocalyptic world

(NEWSER) - Tom Hanks will soon release his long-in-the-works futuristic animated series—where else?—on the web. Twenty episodes of Electric City, just four minutes or so each, will premiere on Yahoo this spring. The series features an apparently peaceful city in a post-apocalyptic world, and deals with political and social issues relevant today. "On the surface, the Electric City is utopia and under the surface, Electric City is secrets and heavy-handed state control," says the head of original programming at Yahoo. "This is perfect for a lean-forward audience who likes to utilize the medium of the Internet." More»

Tracy Morgan: Retarded Boys 'Strong Like Chimps'

Comedian apparently ready for a whole new controversy

(NEWSER) - Maybe Tracy Morgan is pranking his publicist for a new bit on Scare Tactics. In his first live performance since his infamous anti-gay rant earlier this month, the comedian smoothed over the scandal, but instead took aim at the mentally disabled. "Don't ever mess with women who have retarded kids," he said. "Them young retarded males is strong. They're strong like chimps." He also talked about an alleged teenage relationship he had with a "cripple," says Hollywood Reporter . More»
