Honey Boo Boo and Mama June 'Flip the Script' on Christopher Walken, Read Lines from His Films

Neetzan Zimmerman · 10/17/12 11:40AM

The Screen Junkies Show is riding high on the success of last week's episode, which featured Seven Psychopaths stars Christopher Walken, Colin Farrell, and Sam Rockwell reciting lines from TLC's Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, so they decided to "flip the script" and give Here Comes Honey Boo Boo stars Honey Boo Boo Child and Mama June a chance to respond in kind by reenacting scenes from Christopher Walken's appropriately wacky repertoire.

Jennifer Lopez Was Giving Lap Dances to a Man Half Her Age

Brian Moylan · 11/21/11 12:18PM

J.Lo was getting dirty in public with her new 20-something boytoy. Oscar de la Hoya likes it in the butt. Bethenny Frankel's cocktail may not be as pure as she thinks. Robert Wagner thought Natalie Wood was messing around the night she died. Monday's gossip lost its virginity a long time ago.

Quiz time! Is the gentleman pictured on the left actor Christopher Walken sporting a new mustache? Or is it one Tony A. Kadyhrob, accused of harrassing and attempting to abduct college students at a variety of New Jersey colleges?

Christopher Walken's Dream Date with Regis

Whitney Jefferson · 04/26/10 02:37PM

An odd couple, they may be, but Walken definitely knows what he wants: a tunafish sandwich and a bath in Regis Philbin's tub. We'd be completely creeped out if the idea of these two hanging out wasn't so appealing.

Cipriani Gets Conspiratorial; Rudy Gets Bumped

• In a new interview, embattled restaurateur Giuseppe Cipriani says he has no plans to return to NYC anytime soon since he's convinced he'll be arrested if he does. He's also convinced that his problems stem from going up against Roland Betts, the co-founder of Chelsea Piers and one of George Bush's oldest friends and who, Cipriani suggests, set out to destroy him. [P6, VF]
• He may have been mayor for eight years, but Rudy Giuliani was reportedly bounced from the prime Yankees seats next to the team's dugout for game one of the World Series because Michelle Obama was in town and the White House didn't want them sitting together. [P6]
• Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie took their older kids trick-or-treating, and one child even appeared to be in a "store-bought costume." Hopefully, Angie will take the time to sit down at her sewing machine next year. [Us]
• Fame-obsessed father Jon Gosselin thinks he's simply "misunderstood." In a public forum last night with his new BF, fame-obsessed rabbi Schmuley Boteach, Gosselin announced, "I'm not a fame seeker." Then he announced he planned to "privately" apologize to his ex-wife and said that he and girlfriend Hailey Glassman haven't broken up, they're just on a break. [People, Us]

Everyone's Real Fake on Twitter

Owen Thomas · 03/27/09 02:56AM

How do you know all those tweet-happy celebrities are the real deal? 50 Cent, Keith Olbermann, Christopher Walken, and Britney Spears are just a few of those with questionable Twitter identities.

Will John Waters and 'Hairspray 2' Break Musicals' Sequel Curse?

STV · 07/24/08 04:00PM

In the tradition of classic musical sequels like Goodbye, Dolly and Seven Divorces for Seven Brothers, the creative team behind Hairspray is set to return for a follow-up slated for 2010. New Line has reportedly brought aboard John Waters — whose original 1988 hit was adapted to a Broadway tuner that grossed $200 million when re-adapted for the screen last year — to scribble a new treatment "[picking] up the Baltimore saga of the Turnblad family after the resolution of the first film, which was set in 1962." Director-choreographer Adam Shankman and songwriters Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman are slated to return. The original cast is a question mark, however, as Nikki Blonsky, Queen Latifah, Christopher Walken, Michelle Pfeiffer and a frocked, fat-suited John Travolta (among others) didn't have sequel options. But while hardly incidental, such details seem secondary to a far more important question: When has a film musical's sequel ever been a hit?Shankman alludes to as much in an interview today with Variety, citing only the success of High School Musical as a musical franchise that worked. Of course it's a nonsensical analogy; despite the films' common Zac Efron denominator, tweens aren't going to break the sound barrier racing off to Hairspray 2. Pfeiffer has history here, too, as the female lead in another sequel that famously fizzled, Grease 2. Moreover, what would Hairspray 2 even be about? Velma Von Tussle's Aryan revenge? Tracy Turnblad goes off to Johns Hopkins, discovers acid and founds Beehives Against the Vietnam War? Or, better yet, drops out of school and stars in early John Waters films? No, really. We're asking. The possibilities are endless, yet we know there's only one right idea — and with history as our guide, it might be to skip the idea altogether.

Okay, so it wasn't "Cowbell" but Christopher's Walken's "Family Reunion" skit From yesterday's Saturday Night Live cracked me up pretty good. It's posted here. [via OhNoTheyDidn't]
