Chris Pratt Had a Perfectly Good Reason For Giving His Cat Away on Twitter

“Bottom line, and not that this is any of your fucking business weirdos, but my wife and I want to start a family and we ABSOLUTELY CANNOT have an animal that shits all over the house. Sorry. If you are a parent you will understand. And if not, that probably explains why you have such a hard on for cats. Just sayin’.” And that, Internet, is why Moneyball star Chris Pratt gave up his 15-year-old cat Bella for adoption on Twitter. The actor ultimately gave Bella to a Twitter user named Meghan who is a “perfectly reasonable, sweet and friendly cat lover.” Pratt’s wife is What’s My Number? star Anna Faris. [ChrisPratt.com]

Eliza Coupe on Egg Babies and Her Black Swan Moment That Might've Saved Happy Endings

Eliza Coupe Happy Endings had all the ingredients for a quick midseason burn-off show: It premiered in April in a 10 p.m. time slot with back-to-back episodes that aired out of order. But the sharp-tongued, pop culture-referencing sitcom soon developed a devoted following to earn a surprising renewal. "I think it was the fifth episode where I was Max's beard and Penny dated [the guy named] Hitler that it started clicking," Eliza Coupe, who plays Jane, tells TVGuide.com. "It was such a well-written episode. I felt like that was when people got into it." See what else the actress has to say about the show's "amazing" (or is it "a-mah-zing"?) fans, why Brad and Jane are not the Drapers, and Jane's quest this week to find her egg baby - the child she believes was conceived from an egg she donated in college.Fall Preview: Get scoop on your favorite returning showsJane is searching for her egg baby, which begs the question: Will she and Brad (Damon Wayans Jr.) have kids any time soon?Eliza Coupe: I don't know. I think that Jane likes the idea of having a kid, but the whole "that's the next step" would really disrupt her whole life. ... She had that plan [in the pilot], but I don't think she wants to be a mom yet. I think it's more real and more modern that they don't have a kid. Just because they're married doesn't mean they have to have a kid. That's what I like about them - making the traditional marriage a little hipper.Do you believe in the baby sitcom curse?Coupe: I do. ... You know, just don't bring kids into the mix! They're annoying. Because if you have a baby on a show, eventually, you'll need a kid actor. Then it's going to be one of those child actors who are 8 years old and who says things like, "Back when I was a kid." You're like, "Shut up! 'Back when I was a kid' - yeah, which is right now! You're 8. I hate you!" [Laughs]I love the fact that she donated an egg, especially given how uptight she is now.Coupe: Yeah, and I like that she so badly thinks it's her egg baby. Like no one else could've donated an egg! But when I first signed on, we made an agreement that Jane has a really dark, checkered past. I like that we introduce that a little more. There's a reason why people become control freaks. They weren't always like that, but there's something that sparks that. I think that it makes sense that she has had a different kind of path and now she's overcompensating for it. She was a bit of a beer slut. Jane was crazy. She was that girl in college who was always the life of the party, drinking and slutting it up. So yeah, she sold an egg. She needs to go to Cabo!Brad didn't know she hooked up with girls back then or about the egg donation. Why isn't he privy to her past?Coupe: Right. Brad is in the dark. There's a lot he doesn't know. We're going to find out more this year. I don't think she's lying to him, but that part of her life is over. I think they both have things they hide from each other, but they're pretty crazy behind closed bedroom doors. Check out photos from Happy EndingsIs that why they're such a great couple?Coupe: Yes! Lots of sex! [Laughs] They're almost like buddies that are married. It's a more modern-day relationship. It's not so I'm the man, I'm the woman. It's not Mad Men. It's not like the Drapers, like we don't know anything about each other. Brad and Jane are really comfortable with each other. They can be buddies and make fun of each other. They can each play the straight guy. ... Yes, it's heightened for television, but it's definitely more real than the Drapers.Damon makes his pants drop by snapping his fingers again this week. How does he do that?Coupe: There's a very heavy belt and Damon is just a wizard. It's his thing, really.I heard you cut your hair while waiting to hear if the show was picked up. True?Coupe: Yeah, it was a real Black Swan moment in my bathroom. I've had a lot of people take some scissors to it at this point. I did it myself, then I went to my hairstylist and then I did a movie in China this past summer, and the Chinese hairstylist decided to get into it and he did a great job. And then recently, we went a little shorter and the woman on Happy Endings trimmed it. Now it looks really, really nice. I'm actually wearing it a little straighter. It actually looked pretty good [when I cut it]; it was just choppy. I mean, look, if things don't work out with Happy Endings, I'm going to open a salon. Maybe that's why the show got renewed. It was the anti-Felicity curse.Coupe: Maybe! But, honestly, I do think there is something to be said about going on with your life. If I just sit around and go, "I'm not going to change anything. I'm going to focus all my energy on this show getting picked up," that's really setting yourself up. Going on with your life, you're setting yourself up for the next thing. And luckily it worked out.ABC offers Fred Savage Happy EndingsPeople who love the show are really into it. Are you surprised at how it's caught on?Coupe: Kind of. We've been talking about our show as the online show. People love it, but I have not seen a billboard. There are no billboards! People find it and they love it. I went to a wedding last night and people were talking about how they sit down with their kids and watch it. I was like, "Wow!" It was just nice to hear that. We've been doing a lot of Twitter stuff and Facebook stuff, and I think that's hitting our demographic too. Maybe the billboards aren't necessary if we can stay up with the hipper things. Zach Knighton and I just did an "apology" to the frolf community. We did a live show at UCB and we're going to do that again and try to keep it fresh and find different ways to get people interested. The show has a similar structure to Friends, but it's different and I think our fans really see that.What else can we expect this season?Coupe: Brad and Jane decide to take couples improv, which was a lot of fun to shoot. But oh, the Halloween episode - buckle up! You have to see my costume! It was the best costume in the world and I was in it the entire episode. And let's just say I'm completely covered except for my face in not a flattering way. It's a food item and I'm completely covered in a mock version of this food item made out of Styrofoam. It's just an insane costume. Brad is Brad, and we take on the suburbs. It was one of the episodes Fred Savage directed, and it was awesome.Happy Endings airs Wednesdays at 9:30/8:30c on ABC.

First Launched: October 1, 2011 6:33 PM EDT Credit: Getty Images Caption Kanye values the applause in the audience following a KW by Kanye Prepared to use Spring / Summer season 2012 show throughout Paris Fashion Week at Lycee Henri IV in Paris on October 1, 2011 PARIS, France -- Styles most well-known aficionado, music star Kanye, switched professional on Saturday getting a lavish hard-edged womens collection that bucked all the stereotypes about celebrity designers. West is really a front-row fixture at fashion shows for any very long time, but industry affiliates had welcomed news he was prone to launch a kind of their very own getting a greater than hefty dose of skepticism and a lot of barbed quips about how precisely it could surely be Lindsay Lohans tights line once more. So, it absolutely was with slightly humbled question the style editors, stylists and journalists hands-selected to visit Saturdays late-evening spring-summer season 2012 show welcomed the sophisticated, highly designed looks round the catwalk. Sure, West didnt reinvent the wheel: You are able to start to see the influence of established designers lots of shows he visited over time. There's a bit of Balmain inside the short, sex-drenched dresses and several Givenchy inside the medieval, bondage-y leather jackets and skirts, for example. But luxed-up streetwear elements, like hooded jackets created in a number of crocodile skins, gave the range a unique voice that belongs to them. The greater understanding about project ongoing to become foggy: The extent of Wests participation within the design ongoing to become unclear, as did the particulars of people on his design team. But Wests emotional attachment for the brand was apparent. Speaking with reporters following a show, the seasoned artist saved repeating Im so scared, Im so nervous. The finest conversation I am hoping I am in a position to finish tonight is whole celebrity designer factor, he mentioned once hed handled to collect themselves. Thats the finest hurdle when you want to acquire amazing people to get results for you. Another challenge, he added, was identifying who to make use of. The design and style marketplace is infamously opaque and sometimes inscrutable for outsiders, even ones too connected as him. Stars (R&B singer Ciara), designers (Ernest Altuzarra, Alexander Wang and Olivier Theyskens) and celebrity designers (the Olsen twins) switched out for Wests show, which was hands-lower The large event on Paris spring-summer season 2012 calendar. Ciara, repel the stifling weather in the fur stole, mentioned he did an admirable job. I walked out of this show feeling like I must placed on this line. There is lots within it thats right up my alley. Especially since personally, its so awesome to find out someone result from our music world making a move similar to this. Its very difficult, she mentioned a backstage interview. U.S. designer Jeremy Scott concurred. Everyone probably think chances are it will be another like Jennifer Lopezs Macys line which is not, its really apparent it's not, mentioned Scott, whos recognized for his kooky, colorful designs. Kanye has impeccable taste and you also see his taste level is on the internet for. Hes interested in design overall. I have five-hour extended conversations with him constantly about everything because hes so obsessed, but we have got a bit of a consider his mind there. Inside a secondary school in southern Paris, Saturdays show came a thick crowd of star-struck celebrity audiences who clicked on their cell phone cameras at literally something which moved. A couple of from the students who board within the school seen the site visitors file in from lack of from the products made an appearance as though old-school prison bars and begged passers-by their invites as souvenirs.

Rooney Mara lands Oldboy female Lead?

Rooney for Oldboy? Surely the England striker is better suited to a live-action Shrek film? No, it's Rooney Mara who could find herself starring with Josh Brolin and Christian Bale in Spike Lee's remake of Oldboy - if the rumours are true.Sources told Twitch that Mara is the project's first choice for the female lead, playing a character renamed as Marie in the US version of the film.Mara seems to be shifting categories from 'one to watch' into 'one to watch at the multiplex', given her recent work on films such as David Fincher's Girl With The Dragon Tattoo remake, The Social Network and the Nightmare On Elm Street reboot.Reports suggest that Brolin has now been confirmed for the lead role, playing a man who is kidnapped and imprisoned for 15 years before being released.Christian Bale is thought to be first choice for the villain role, although there's still no word on whether that will happen yet.Mark Protosevich (Thor, I Am Legend) has penned a script for the Oldboy remake that includes elements of Park Chan-wook's original, story from the comic which inspired that film and new material.

Business Insider: Google, Dish Highest Bidders For Hulu

It’s been mostly quiet these days over the details of the Hulu auction that presumably has ended. Here’s a little news, though: According to a Business Insider report today, Google was the highest bidder at $4 billion, though that price includes special conditions beyond what Hulu owners Disney, Fox, Comcast and Providence Equity Partners have outlined. In that scenario, it’s Dish Network with the highest bid at about $1.9 billion — less than the $2 billion bid the owners sought. Bothtopped bids by fellow interested parties Amazon and Yahoo and now are the front-runners to make a deal — if a deal ever gets made. The entire sale process has been an odd one, from the players involved to the Hulu ownership not even in complete agreement what they want (Disney wants to sell, Fox much less so). Meanwhile, among bidders, Dish might be more interested in Hulu’s infrastructure than its content, today’s report suggests, having already acquired Blockbuster’s supply lines and unveiling a movie service last week to rival Netflix, and Yahoo is bidding at the same time its board of directors is not-too-secretly entertaining buyout offers of their own. And last week, CBS Corp boss Les Moonves threw in his two cents about why his company isn’t interested in Hulu at all — Are they buying two years of programs for $2 billion? I dont know. I shouldnt say more; Ill get in trouble, he said to investors, arguing that online broadcasterscannibalize TV viewing and syndication. And let’s not forget the biggest cloud hanging over Hulu: those coveted content deals with suppliers that certainly will cost more to renew when those pacts expire over the next year and beyond (see What’s Hulu Worth Without Programming?).
