ROCK BAND ANNIE AUTOMATIC RELEASES LIMITED EDITION COMIC BOOK

// July 18th, 2011 // No Comments » // What's Poppin

LA-based rock band Annie Automatic will release a limited edition comic book “Killer In Disguise” at Comic-Con starting Thursday, July 21. The concept for “Killer In Disguise” was created by French & Feldman, and the story and script was written by Sam Scott. The comic book gives fans an inside look to the heart and background behind the band.

Lead singer and Annie Automatic visionary French stated, “‘Annie Automatic: Killer In Disguise’ is my way of diving into the story of our main character, and connecting with kids on another level. Getting it out there along with this new music too, I’m so excited to have been able to work with such talented friends and put something cool together that might be able to pull the readers and listeners into our world – where there’s never a shortage of action and mystery, and the soundtrack’s always moving in the background!”

“Killer in Disguise” features a girl name Annie who faces a life full of conflict, running, hiding and revenge. The story illustrates Annie’s journey of rebellion from her mother and how she forms her own path. The comic book allows the audience to see another side to Annie Automatic and the story behind their music. Look for members of the Annie Automatic street team in San Diego this weekend to get a free, limited edition copy of “Killer in Disguise” at Comic-Con or purchase a copy online now at www.annieautomatic.com.

Annie Automatic’s lead single “Burn this Prison” is now available on iTunes and their first full-length studio album, Don’t Look Down, drops August 23, 2011.

ANNIE AUTOMATIC is a colorful lunatic… She listens to her music loud, and takes her shoes off to dance. She’s the strange little animal inside all of us. The band strives for artistic honesty, and a level of fun and love that seems to be lacking in today’s Alternative Rock’n'Roll. ANNIE AUTOMATIC is about beauty, chaos and freedom. It’s about grabbing hold of the moment, and making it count. Let the madness in.

PEE-WEE HERMAN TAKES THE STAGE AT SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON®

// July 18th, 2011 // No Comments » // What's Poppin

Fresh off his recent Emmy® nomination for the HBO production of his Broadway show, Pee-wee Herman will take the stage in Hall H at this week’s San Diego Comic-Con® 2011. The sure-to-be-spectacular solo panel will be in Hall H on Thursday, July 21 at 1:15pm. The three-time Emmy® nominated HBO special, THE PEE-WEE HERMAN SHOW ON BROADWAY, comes to DVD in October from Image Entertainment.

Said Pee-wee Herman of his upcoming Comic-Con® visit: “Initially I was coming to San Diego with the cast of Twilight, but we’ve since decided it’s better for them to have two separate panels. I am SOOOO excited I can hardly breathe!”

THE PEE-WEE HERMAN SHOW ON BROADWAY reunites Paul Reubens and Marty Callner, who directed both this new television production and the 1981 HBO special “The Pee-wee Herman Show.”

The character of Pee-wee Herman is experiencing a remarkable renaissance, with enormous followings on Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare. Opening to critical acclaim at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre on Nov. 11, 2010, “The Pee-wee Herman Show” is 90 minutes of subversive humor and childlike wonder based on both Reubens’ original stage show, “The Pee-wee Herman Show,” and the Emmy®-winning Saturday morning TV show, “Pee-wee’s Playhouse,” which became a cultural phenomenon. “Pee-wee’s Playhouse” which celebrates its 25th Anniversary in September 2011, garnered 22 Emmy® awards during its original run, and was recently ranked among the “Ten Best Kids Shows With Grown Up Appeal” by NBC’s Today Show. Renowned writer-director-producer Judd Apatow recently announced that he and Reubens are developing a new feature film based on the character.

Justin Timberlake talks a little ‘Bad Teacher’

// June 6th, 2011 // No Comments » // What's Poppin

By: Jackie Quiñones

Justin Timberlake is such a sucialicious we all wanna see him get down and dirty with Cameron Diaz in their upcoming comedy, “Bad Teacher,” and although the sexy pair dated off-screen for nearly four years, Justin says filming the physical scene with his ex wasn’t at all awkward.

“I didn’t look at it like that,” Justin explained of the raunchy reunion . “We obviously know each other, but I looked at it as a really funny, funny scene that I’ve never seen done before.”

While getting back in the action with Cameron may not have been strange, the “SexyBack” singer said filming closeups – by himself! — for the steamy scene was brutal.

“What I actually remember was, you know, they got to my closeup for that scene, so I was just kind of by myself — which is hard to imitate in real life,” Justin said with a laugh. “Jake [Kasdan], the director, kept yelling out, ‘OK, more contorted! Uglier face! Flare your nostrils! Curl your lip up…more!’ And I’m trying not to laugh.

“I saw it [played] back one time and I’m really emotionally damaged,” he added.

Ah, he’s such a kidder.

Bad Teacher releases Nation wide on June 24th, 2011

The test of wills between Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro) and Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) escalates to new heights of comedy in the third installment of the blockbuster series—Little Fockers. Laura Dern, Jessica Alba and Harvey Keitel join the returning all-star cast for a new chapter of the worldwide hit franchise. It has taken 10 years, two little Fockers with wife Pam (Polo) and countless hurdles for Greg to finally get “in” with his tightly wound father-in-law, Jack. After the cash-strapped dad takes a job moonlighting for a drug company, however, Jack’s suspicions about his favorite male nurse come roaring back. When Greg and Pam’s entire clan—including Pam’s lovelorn ex, Kevin (Owen Wilson)—descends for the twins’ birthday party, Greg must prove to the skeptical Jack that he’s fully capable as the man of the house. But with all the misunderstandings, spying and covert missions, will Greg pass Jack’s final test and become the family’s next patriarch…or will the circle of trust be broken for good?
