Who hasn't wanted to be a movie producer at some stage in their life? Tons of money, great lifestyle, not much work. ... Jimmy Kimmel liked the sound of that, so he asked his guest, actress and producer Elizabeth Banks , what exactly it is that producers do. Do they do any real work at all? Banks, who was talking about the new movie she's just produced, " Pitch Perfect " -- "a very funny comedy set in the very competitive world of collegiate a cappella singing" -- explained to the " Jimmy Kimmel Live " (Weeknights, 12 a.m. EST on ABC) host that yes, she worked hard on the set. "I directed a porno." What?! "A fake porno," she clarifed, "for the background of a scene in a frat house." Banks said she stepped up the plate as "it just felt gross" to have a guy ask the ladies of Baton Rouge, Louisiana if they wanted to turn up in their undies and be part of a porno flick (albeit a fa...

Hmm. Not a bad idea. Not a bad idea at all. Call us crazy, but we don't see anything wrong with the Lionsgate and Summit merger. In this instance, you've got two huge franchises â€" one just beginning and one on its way out â€" giving the company all the power it needs to make the kind of movies they want to make in the inbetween time. But having both The Hunger Games and The Twilight Saga under one roof can be beneficial to each of the franchises as well! Case in point: What if the trailer for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 premiered before The Hunger Games ? Not only would you get all the Tributes in to see the movie, but Twi-hards would flock in DROVES just for the preview. Maybe they aren't completely on board with Katniss Everdeen, but so what? They bought the ticket to see the movie anyway! Hear that sound? CHA-CHING! Needless to say, we're of the shared opinion (as this is the rumor circulating the Internet today) that the final T...

Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player . Think you have a roommate from hell ? You obviously haven't seen tonight's episode of Teen Mom 2 , which featured an all-out smackdown between Jenelle Evans and her new housemates. Instead of the front lawn or, say, the parking lot of Planet Fun â€"this four-way fracas went down in the young mama's boudoir... EXCLUSIVE: Teen Mom 's Jenelle Evans Talks Recent Arrests: "They Are Trying to Charge Me With Things Out of Spite" It all happened so fast. One minute Jenelle was crying because Kieffer was texting the 508 area code, the next she was threatening to move out and take her couches with her. Her first victim, the bathroom door, was entirely innocent (like her friend Ben 's change jar ); but even after she nearly slammed it off its hinges, roommate Tori was consoling her. But when Jenelle complained about Tori 's boyfri...

Grey Flannel Auctions, run by Richie Russek and his sons Darren and Michael, is the business at the heart of "All Star Dealers" (Tue., 8 p.m. EST on Discovery). This series features a new twist on the auction/resale/memorabilia genre of television taking over the airwaves. Grey Flannel specializes in and focuses on sports-related memorabilia. Dennis Rodman made an appearance in this premiere installment, as Russek was visiting a storage locker filled with Rodman's own unique collection. But one item that Russek wanted in particular wasn't to be found, so he went straight to the source. "Here's my big question. Where's the g*******d wedding dress?" he asked the NBA Hall of Famer. "We looked through boxes, Dennis. Do you know where it is?" While Rodman didn't know exactly where the dress was, he did know he wasn't looking to part with it. "I might give it to my kids," he said. "One of these ...

After her most recent bout of surgery, Melissa rediscovered what a pain playing nursemaid to Joan Rivers can be on " Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best " (Tue., 9 p.m. EST on WE). She found herself chasing her mother all around the house, picking her up off of the bathroom floor, and having to watch her virtually 24/7. Joan was trying to make phone calls and feed the dog Jell-O. She wouldn't keep the ice packs where they belonged, insisting instead that she was keeping it at her crotch. It was no surprise that she started joking about her vagina to anyone who saw the pair on "The View," where they quickly derailed the conversation into porn and even women who have two vaginas simply upon hearing the v-word. Joan talked with HuffPost Gay Voices about the new season of "Joan & Melissa," and about comments she made that some in the gay community think might be considered transphobic. This stemmed from Joan assuring Melis...

Madonna actually had no idea that there was a feud between her and Elton John during the Golden Globes , because she had to be told afterwards that things went down. And even then she decides to take the high road and pay no mind to it! Here's what she said: "You know what, honestly, I was oblivious to it all. It was brought to my attention afterwards and I don't… I just keep going and don't pay no mind to things like that. " was really surprised, I have to say. I always say, 'Don't expect to win and if you do, you're pleasantly surprised.'" Interesting! We get the feeling that with her crazy schedule right now and the rush of winning that it's completely plausible that she had no idea it was going on until someone told her. It's totally in her character to not be phased by it too! Even with the revelation of it, it's super classy of her to stay quiet . Do U guys think she should be more upset?? [ Image via WENN ...

Marc Piasecki/Getty Images Vanessa Paradis isn't doing much to squelch talk that she and Johnny Depp are dunzo.

Oh no! Poor thing! After the year she's had, we're not surprised … but we sincerely hope the rumors aren't true. Reports have just surfaced saying that last night, Demi Moore was rushed to the hospital from her home. A 911 call was placed around 10:45PM last night, and insiders are suggesting that her medical emergency had something to do with substance abuse. While that hasn't been confirmed, Demi's rep has released a statement revealing that she'll be seeking treatment from professionals for "exhaustion" and "overall health." In the rep's statement, he explains: "Because of the stresses in her life right now, Demi has chosen to seek professional assistance to treat her exhaustion and improve her overall health. She looks forward to getting well and is grateful for the support of her family and friends." Damn. That really sucks. We knew she was going through a tough time â€" we guess we just didn’t know how...

LOS ANGELES â€" Actors in adult movies filmed in Los Angeles will be required to use condoms under an ordinance signed into law by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and porn industry leaders say the regulation could lead them to abandon the nation's porn capital. The law, signed Monday, will take effect 41 days after it is posted by the city clerk, something that could happen as early as this week. Officials with the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which lobbied for years for such a law, expressed jubilation Tuesday and said they would now turn their attention to getting a similar condom requirement adopted elsewhere. "The city of Los Angeles has done the right thing. They've done the right thing for the performers," said Michael Weinstein, president of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which had pushed ...

Tonight we witnessed President Obama outline all the proposals that will be blocked by Congress in the election year 2012. Drill for everything. Create jobs for the humans who want jobs. End more wars, try not to have new ones... but maybe have some new ones? 2012 is shaping up to be a banner year for America's government. Let's check out some reactions from the pundits and various clowns on Twitter. Andrew Sullivan, who recently wrote a cover story for Newsweek about how dumb all of the criticisms of the President are, had some criticisms for the President: I was hoping for a vision. I was hoping for real, strategic reform. What we got was one big blizzard of tax deductions, wrapped in a populist cloak. It was treading water. I suspect this will buoy liberal spirits, but anger the right and befuddle the independents. It definitely gives the Republican case against Obama as a big government meddler more credibility. I may be wrong - but the sheer cramped, tedious, m...

Not a HUGE shocker, given how successful the show was in its first season ! The numbers are in, and the season premiere for Ricky Gervais /Science Channel's An Idiot Abroad 2: The Bucket List was the network's most-watched telecast EVER in key adult/male demographics! Wowsa! The show brought in 1.3 million viewers for its Saturday night premiere, which is VERY impressive for Science Channel! Here's what Ricky had to say about the show's success: "It's fantastic news. I won’t be satisfied until Karl is as big a phenomenon as Justin Bieber . I just hope it doesn't all rest on hair." Ha! And for those who aren't familiar with the show, here's how it's been described: "In AN IDIOT ABROAD 2: THE BUCKET LIST , [Karl] Pilkington is coerced into round two of the world’s most hilarious social experiment, as Gervais and Merchant force him to complete 'the ultimate list of things to do before you die.'"

Bérénice Bejo Dominique Charriau/WireImage After receiving an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress, The Artist 's leading lady Bérénice Bejo needs time to let it all sink in. "I feel like someone has smashed my head and I haven't really realized it yet," Bejo, 35, told PEOPLE from her home in Paris Tuesday afternoon, just hours after the nominations were announced. "It's crazy!" It was double the pleasure for the charming French actress as her husband, Michel Hazanavicius, nabbed a Best Director nomination for The Artist . His silent black-and-white film received a total of 10 Academy Award nominations. With all the hugging, kissing, shouts of joy and phones ringing off the hook, one person at the Bejo-Hazanavicius household didn't know what all the fuss was about: the couple's 3½-year-old son, Lucien. "He doesn't understand what Mommy and Daddy do," she explained. "For him, Michel's work is saying,...
