I will go to the mat for the first Pitch Perfect. Anna Kendrick is fetching and quirky; “Cups” is ideal for shower singing; and I’m pretty undiscerning in my fondness for a cappella covers. The sequel is enjoyable not so much because it is especially good, but because I am a sucker for fan service. And that is why I…
Elizabeth Banks backed out of directing Pitch Perfect 3 because of motherhood duties, she said at a conference panel on Saturday.
Almost immediately after Pitch Perfect 2 hit theaters, Rebel Wilson told the Los Angeles Times that a Pitch Perfect 3 was in the works. That was in March and, at the time, only Wilson was confirmed for the film. Now The Hollywood Reporter confirms that Elizabeth Banks has signed on to direct the third installment of…
I was pretty nervous about Pitch Perfect 2; I left the first movie, immediately turned to my sister and said, “Can we go back in and see that again?” My adoration, coupled with the fact that sequels are rarely anywhere close to as good as the originals (and that PP2 was getting a ton of hype but mixed reviews), didn’t…
A lot is happening in Jessie J’s video for her Pitch Perfect tie-in “Flashlight,” but I can’t tell you what any of it means.
Cool Girl Anna Kendrick is now adding the title of ‘published author’ to her résumé. The Pitch Perfect 2 actress has just signed a deal to write a collection of humorous personal essays for Touchstone. Kendrick is known for her clever tweets and scene-stealing wit so a book of LOLs sounds like a pretty good move.
What do you do when news just...overwhelms you? How do you go on?
Anna Kendrick is on the cover of this month's Glamour UK, and arguably the most important piece of intel she divulged was as follows:
Rebel Wilson is on the cover of April's Elle Australia, looking smokin' in graphic prints a bold red lip. (Truly, Rebel, this is your lipstick shade—never let it go.) In released excerpts from the interview, she discusses Tyra Banks, nailing it in one take and the importance of allowing herself to not be funny every…
Do I give a shit about the so-called "Green Bay Packers"? No. Did I need them to be featured prominently in the already very short trailer for Pitch Perfect 2 that aired during the Super Bowl? No. Will I take the few scraps of sustenance the entertainment industry deigns to throw to me? Always.
The first trailer for Pitch Perfect 2 has arrived and guess what? The Barden Bellas are going GLOBAL.
If you can't wait until May to get your fix of Pitch Perfect 2, this segment from the Today Show should help to tide you over for a little while. Third Hour co-anchor Natalie Morales visited the set of the sequel and — while she learned few details about the plot — she did get to joke around with Rebel Wilson,…
Wow. Much don't. Many can't even. Despite Farrah Abraham's insistence that her 2013 film Backdoor Teen Mom was "leaked" against her will—and was, therefore, a "sex tape" and not a "straight-up porno"—Vivid has now confirmed that they're releasing a sequel entitled Farrah 2: Backdoor and More.
The potential sequel to the best movie of our time is definitely happening. The Hollywood Reporter brings news from that magical land to the west that Elizabeth Banks will direct it and that Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson are "likely" involved as well.
The Aca-Tramps from Pitch Perfect are headed back to the theaters in 2015. Kay Cannon is returning as the screenwriter (yes!), but nothing is confirmed beyond that — though it's hard to imagine the cast would pass up the opportunity to reprise their rolls in a Cannon-penned script. Besides, what else does that cast of…
Sigh. Amanda Bynes' repeated insistence on only using her (technically crappy; see above) Twitter selfies comes from a dark place, it looks like. I know: You're totally shocked.
Thanks to YouTube, cup playing has gone from a thing you did at summer camp in middle school (at least it's a thing that I did at summer camp in middle school [Ed: I've never even HEARD of this!]) to a full-blown trend showing up in TV, movies and on actual albums. In fact, actress Anna Kendrick is such a fan of cup…
I don't know what kind of movie you're hoping to see if you go to Pitch Perfect, the Anna Kendrick-starring comedy about college a cappella tournaments, but I can almost guarantee that it won't be what you expect. At least it wasn't for me. I went into the theater thinking I was about to take in a cross between Glee…
Sorta willing to bet that even Anna Kendrick leading a chorus of girls in Blackstreet's "No Diggity" can't beat anything Bridesmaids' criminally-underused Rebel Wilson is gonna do in this movie, which looks like a Glee/Bring It On mashup of epic proportions. All that's missing is Will Schuester's Jheri Curl and…
Men with deeper, more "masculine" voices have more children than those with higher-pitched voices, according to a report from Biology Letters. Researchers from Harvard conducted a study on the Hazda, a group of hunter-gatherers in Tanzania, because the Hadza live much like our ancestors did, without the trappings of…
