'Puss In Boots': This Cat Haz Swagger (VIDEO)

This summer, Fabio famously replaced Isiah Mustafah as the Old Spice Guy. His reign, however, is to be short lived.

Sure, Fabio and Isiah have impressive bods, but are they orange? Yeah, they dole out dramatic dialog with a natural ease, but do they do it with a dramatic Spanish accent? Yeah, Fabio has a storied career, but has he been part of French folk lore for over 300 years?

Meow no.

As the latest promo for their upcoming film, "Puss In Boots," Paramount has put out another viral video placing their Antonio Banderas-voiced feline hero in a piece of contemporary pop culture, showing off just how baller their kitty is. Joining him in this adventure will be Salma Hayek, as Kitty Softpaws, and Zach Galifianakis, as Humpty Dumpty (really). Check out some of their previous laughers, here.

Morgan Freeman: Tea Party Is Racist, They're Out To Get Obama

Morgan Freeman laid down the chips on the Tea Party in a new interview with Piers Morgan that is due to air Friday night.

The Oscar-winning actor sat down with the British TV host and, amongst other things, discussed his belief that the right wing Tea Party's anti-Obama stance is rooted in racism.

When asked by Morgan whether Obama's presidency has made racism in the United States better or worse, Freeman, who once played apartheid-defying South African president Nelson Mandela, frankly stated that his time in office has made it worse, as he has become a target of the right's aggression.

"Their stated policy, publicly stated, is to do whatever it takes to see to it that Obama only serves one term," the actor said. "What’s, what does that, what underlines that? 'Screw the country. We’re going to whatever we do to get this black man, we can, we’re going to do whatever we can to get this black man outta here.'"

Declaring once again that "it's a racist thing," Freeman said the group's rise has shown the hate still lingering in America.

"Well, it just shows the weak, dark, underside of America," he said. "We’re supposed to be better than that. We really are. That’s, that’s why all those people were in tears when Obama was elected president. “Ah, look at what we are. Look at how, this is America.” You know? And then it just sort of started turning because these people surfaced like stirring up muddy water."

The actor continued, saying that he understood President Obama not fighting back, seeking to stick to his principles, but wishes that he'd be more aggressive now.

Freeman endorsed Obama during his run for the presidency, but declined to campaign with him, saying that he was an actor, not a politician. He attended a White House Civil Rights concert in 2010.

'Charlie's Angels' Series Premiere: An Angel Dies (VIDEO)

"Once upon a time, there were three young women who got into very big trouble…"

And that's how the new series introduces us to the three new Angels - ex-cat burglar Abby (Rachael Taylor), former dirty cop Kate (Annie Ilonzeh) and disgraced marine Gloria (Nadine Velazquez). Yet, the same can also be said for the three actresses that signed on for this "Charlie's Angels" ABC reboot.

Sadly, there's nothing here that distinguishes this from the original "Charlie's Angles," except that Bosley is now a smooth womanizing computer hacker named Bos (Ramon Rodriguez)

We learn from an opening Charlie voice-over that the Angels are on a mission to rescue Sarah Daniels, a 16-year-old being held captive by the legendary unseen trafficker Baharo. Long story short, thanks to some kung-fu magic -- and the fact that Bosley somehow has access to a 'satellite camera' that can see inside the room (insert groan here) -- the Angels rescue Sarah.

So what do they do? Celebrate, of course! But one Angel is not happy. Gloria is frustrated that they will never track down Baharo himself, but the matter doesn't concern her for long because as she leaves the agency, Gloria is killed by a car bomb!

And now the girls are sad -- very sad. And they say things like, "I never thought my heart could hurt this much" and "We were a family, she was our sister." And now we're sad because it's not over yet.

Long story short, Minka Kelly becomes the new Angel.

From sub-par acting to terrible writing, this was a disappointment in any era.

Smurfs In Real Life: Digital Painting Of Creatures (PHOTO)

When the movie adaptation of the classic comic and cartoon "The Smurfs" hit the big screen late this summer, it placed the lovable blue woodland creatures smack in the middle of New York City, the hub of human insanity. They were small, blue and CGI, obvious works of fiction, however adorable they may have been.

A real smurf? Probably wouldn't have those exaggeratedly round features and silly hat, that's for sure.

Here's a digital painting by Nate Hallinan, who imagined the creatures in a much more realistic way. Here's part of his description:

The Smurf is actually the result of a symbiotic relationship between two organisms. We believe that Smurfs put their 'embryos' in the button of a developing mushroom. From a distance, Smurfs seem like they are wearing a hat and pants but as you can see this is a fallacy. The fungus provides camouflage and protective epidermal layers for the creature, while the creature provides nutrients and mobility for the spreading of spores.

 

Marilyn Monroe Photos: Images From Norma Jean's First Photo Shoot To Sell At Auction

SANDY COHEN - THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — Copyrights and images from Marilyn Monroe's first photo shoot are hitting the auction block.

A bankruptcy judge in Florida ruled earlier this week that photos taken in 1946 of Norma Jeane Dougherty – who went on to become the iconic Monroe – will be sold at auction to settle the debts of the photographer.

Joseph Jasgur's photos, negatives and image copyrights will be sold in December by Julien's Auctions. The collection also includes several model-release forms Dougherty signed for Jasgur in Hollywood.

Darren Julien, chief of Julien's Auctions, said the photos have not been widely distributed and the collection has been locked up in court battles for more than two decades. He said the sale is significant because "it's very rare to see something where you can buy a copyrighted image of (Monroe), especially of her first photo shoot."

"It's really hard to put a value on something like this, because it's rare and not just for the collector," he said, noting that the owner of the copyrights will be able to sell and distribute the images. "These are probably the most significant images of Marilyn that are available because they're so early, from the first part of her career, and it's rare to have images like these where you're selling the rights, too."

He declined to estimate how much the images and copyrights will sell for at the company's "Icons & Idols" auction, to be held Dec. 2-4 in Beverly Hills, Calif.

The photos include a black-and-white headshot of the future Monroe wearing a jaunty beret, another of her in a halter top and a color picture of her smiling in a striped bikini on the sand. Julien said Jasgur was hired by the Blue Book modeling agency to shoot the then-unknown Norma Jeane.

Taylor Lautner, Lily Collins Spilt: 'Abduction' Co-Stars Break Up: REPORT

Taylor Lautner is back on the market!

The hunky Hollywood star has reportedly split from his "Abduction" co-star Lily Collins, according to Us Weekly.

"It was a clean break that Taylor initiated," the source told Us, adding that the split made for an awkward red carpet at the Sept. 15 premiere of their new thriller.

Lautner, 19, and Collins, 22, were first rumored to be dating last fall while filming "Abduction," though the pair never officially confirmed their relationship.

However, it looks like their busy schedules might have gotten in the way of romance. Lautner is about to start promoting the "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" while Collins has been busy filming a still-untitled "Snow White" film as -- you guessed it -- Snow White.

Lautner recently addressed that fact that Collins and his "Twilight Saga" co-star Kristen Stewart were both headed to the big screen in two seemingly different takes on the fairy tale.

“It’s tough,” he said at the MTV VMAs. “I mean, my excuse is they’re so different. I can root for them both.

He also added that while he thought it was going to be really exciting for Stewart, he had high hopes for Collins as well.

“Lily’s gonna be great too. And a completely different feel," he said.

'The Killer Elite' Director Gary McKendry Talks Film's Deeper Meaning

When legendary British adventurer Sir Ranulph Fiennes released his book, "The Feather Men," in 1991, his accusations of military secrecy, revenge and assassination caused a ruckus in Great Britain. With the release this weekend of "The Killer Elite," the action film based on that book, the controversy is being stirred up once again.

The book frames the death of four agents of the British Special Air Service -- SAS -- as murders served out over a 17-year period by an assassin hired by an oil-rich sheik seeking payback after British forces killed three of his sons during a communist uprising in Oman. The book provoked outrage from the victims' family members and official denials, but no certain truth has ever been revealed.

The film adaptation, out Friday, condenses the action to a short timeline and casts action vet Jason Statham in the role of the assassin. Trying to stop him is Clive Owen, who plays a former SAS member now working for the secretive Feather Men, a group that seeks to protect past agents from payback plots caused by their clandestine actions.

The Huffington Post spoke with director Gary McKendry about the film and his approach to the controversy.

How much did you take from the novel and how much did you change for the script?

The key to the novel that I liked was that the main two protagonists, the hunter and the hunted -- or the hunter and the guy that was becoming the hunter -- ended up being the same person. There was no clear bad guy. And I know that's going to drive some viewers fucking crazy. They're going to hate it because it's not a usual element in an action movie, but at the same time, that's the thing that drew me to it. Even though that was set in 1980, I think sitting here today, it's really relevant, because I don't think people really believe we live in a black and white world anymore.

As you were making the movie, did you experience a lot of pushback from officials and people who were trying to deny things?

A lot. It became quite hard to get advisers from the SAS. We would get advisers from the SAS and I think they would get leaned on and suddenly they would vanish, or people would give us insights on what really happened and suddenly they'd ring back and say, "Sorry, I don't want to talk about this anymore." Because I think some of the families involved in the story have an ongoing dispute with Ranulph Fiennes ... And actually I think it's funny, because I was really sort of, I was getting upset in some of the directions that people wanted to take the script in -- away from the book -- because I thought it was doing the soldiers a disservice.

What did they want to do?

It would be a lot easier for Jason's lead role -- for what Jason's journey is -- if he's killing guys who have it coming. These guys don't deserve it. From our perspective, they don't deserve it, but from Arab perspective, they do. It depends on what viewpoint you go by. From the law of a soldier fighting a war, okay, well, they did okay, but from the law of an Arab whose country they came in and fought an undeclared war, well, they're murderers.

Were you trying to say anything about the wars we fight today, or are you just trying to tell a story?

It never changes. It's the same. The years change but the wars are just the same stuff. You look at what's going on in England at the moment; you could change Oman to Libya. The Lockerbie bomber is released; two days later BP gets a giant oil contract. The guy who is gonna die goes home, he's alive two years later, and as soon as there's democracy in Libya, the first people who are in are the MI6 and SAS, cleaning up the evidence. Our movie is set in 1980, but really, it's 2011 and it could be the same thing.

It's rare to have people go against the military in a movie here. Were you worried about that?

Not really, because ... I think they were all being used. To be honest with you, if my daughter had died in Iraq, or my daughter had died in Afghanistan, at the moment, I'd be pretty fucking pissed off and disappointed.

I think, on the whole, soldiers are used pretty badly. Everyone cares about them when they're in uniform, but nobody cares when they're out of uniform. Nobody cares when they're fucked up and living under a bridge or having trouble with deep debt. So this for me, the story that attracted me with this, is the after.

I wasn't going against the British army -- I love the SAS. I grew up in Belfast, they saved my ass from the IRA. Which is why I wouldn't vilify them.

"The Killer Elite" hits theaters on Friday.

'One For The Money': Katherine Heigl Gets Tough (VIDEO)

Say hello to a new Katherine Heigl.

While the former "Grey's Anatomy" star did play some action and wield a gun in her 2010 bomb "Killers" with Ashton Kutcher, she played a nervous victim of circumstance in that one, a good girl thrust into a bad situation. That's not the case in one of her next films, "One For The Money"; here, she's throwing herself right into the bottom feeding muck.

Heigl stars as Jersey girl Stephanie Plum, an unemployed Trenton gal who takes a job for her shady uncle's bail bonds company, recovering assets -- aka people -- to bring in cash. It's a film adaptation of a 17-book series by author Janet Evanovich, and gives Heigl to move away from romcoms (though she'll be in the upcoming "New Year's Eve) and TV drama. The film is still considered a comedy, but it has an edge to the character that most of her previous work has not.

The film hits theaters in January; it was supposed to come out this summer but was bumped by distributor Lionsgate.
