Sometimes your childhood memories have a beating heart, throbbing, full of joy and love. And sometimes those memories live snuggled deep inside you, safe and warm, protected. But sometimes, quite suddenly, one of those memories will be pierced with a sharp knife of terrible information, flaying open that soft organ, exposing the tender flesh and killing the goddamn thing. Today is that day, friends: Taylor Swift has joined the cast of the CGI-animated movie The Lorax. You may be thinking, there are no females, or even country singers in The Lorax! Just a boy, some Bar-ba-Loots, a flock of Swomee Swans, the Lorax and the Once-Ler. Yeah, I know. Now it will have Zac Efron, Danny DeVito and the Swift. Sorry. (ETA: It is now a love story, with Swift as the girl of the little boy's dreams. Sob.) [The Hollywood Reporter] (Want to watch the original film? Click here.) More »

NPR's Peter Sagal took his wife and three "excited and happy" daughters to see Horton Hears A Who and left super pissed. The number one-grossing film of the year so far caused Sagal to be "irritated by something even more annoying than Jim Carrey's tics." See, the filmmakers added a subplot to the Dr. Seuss story. Now the mayor of Whoville has 96 daughters and one son. Says Sagal: "Guess who gets all his attention? Guess who saves the day?" Ugh, yeah, it's the son, of course. Sagal's commentary (as a father with daughters) is only three minutes long but so full of ire and rage it's totally worth listening to. [NPR] More »
