Some of you might even be asking yourselves “who the hell is James Van Der Beek?”  Well he’s most known for his role on Dawson’s Creek and uttering the line “I don’t want your life” in Varsity Blues.  But for those of you who care where the actor is now….

Court records show actor James Van Der Beek has filed for divorce from his wife of nearly six years.

The former “Dawson’s Creek” star filed for divorce Friday in Los Angles. He cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split with actress Heather McComb. The couple were married in July 2003 and have no children. [Via MSNBC]

Irreconcilable differences huh? Let me show you exactly how this divorce went down…

Text from friend: “Dude, you have to write a story about Nicolas Cage hanging out with Somali Pirates.”

Me: “What the ***?”

Friend: “Google it.”

Result:

“Nicolas Cage recently met pirates imprisoned in Kenya, as part of his job as a UN Goodwill Ambassador on Drugs and Crime.

The actor visited Shimo La Tewa prison in the Kenyan coastal town of Mombasa to interact with suspected Somali pirates awaiting trial and know the reason behind the increase in piracy in the Indian Ocean.

Cage insisted that he wanted to hear the pirates’ stories, reports Fox News.”

What the…? Who made Nicolas Cage a UN Goodwill Ambassador? I understand like, Angelina Jolie filling that position, as licking her lips could probably get North Korea to just hand her a pile of nukes, but Nic Cage? Is he going to intimidate people into peace with his hair?

You’ll get the hang of it buddy! I was like you, but now I’m a Twitter ninja! Except no, I did not get 47,000 108,000 followers within 24 hours of making my account. And he’s actually just joking about the 140 character limit, and the rest of his tweets are pretty worthwhile. I feel like Twitter needs to be incorporated into the next Dr. Horrible now.

And I will of course use this opportunity to shameless suggest that you follow Unreality on Twitter here where you can listen to me explain the latest updates on my suicidal Xbox saga and talk about how awesome The Prisoner was.

I will use an old Jewish woman coffee talk gossip phrase to describe this situation:  “Could ya die?”

The comedian was recently speaking with MTV News and the idea of him being a part of a “Dark Knight” sequel was brought up. Here’s his response:

“I love the new Dark Knight series and ‘Batman Begins,’” Cook told MTV News when asked if there were any comic book movie characters he has his eye on. “If they brought back The Riddler—a new Riddler the way they did with The Joker—that would be bad-ass. I would do that.”

Guys, how many levels of wrong is this?  Cook even went on to talk about how he would play the riddler.  Well I can think of five ways on how he’d play the riddler.

1. Wrong
2. Horribly
3. Like a moronic comedian would
4. With Zero talent
5. WAY too much effort thus making it terrible

If the Riddler does in fact get re introduced how about we put someone qualified into the role?  Any thoughts?  Personally I thought Jim Carrey did a nice job.  In today’s world?

Johnny Depp maybe?

As if American Pie 3 wasn’t bad enough, are you people aware that there have been like 75 more of these movies?

The latest hilarious new escapade from the ever-popular, long-running American Pie comedy franchise, “American Pie Presents: The Book of Love”, comes to Blu-ray Hi-Def and DVD on December 22, 2009 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment. The newest release from the studio’s highly-successful DVD Originals film line is packed with the high-spirited humor, raucous antics, and outrageously-inspired sex-capades that have become a hallmark of the “American Pie” films.

In this newest adventure, a legendary guide to achieving guaranteed sexual success leads to unexpectedly hilarious predicaments in the funniest chapter yet

Clearly this little snippet wasn’t written by me, or any blogger for that matter because I for one would have used the term “what a load of crap” in the first sentence. I can’t even believe this is happening.

Again, I can completely understand the business of making money but come on Eugene Levy!  Have you no soul?  Sure, Kevin Federline making an appearance in this movie makes complete sense, as does Dustin Diamond, Bret Michaels,  C. Thomas Howell, and Curtis Armstrong AKA Booger.

But come on Eugene.  And it’s not just Eugene Levy.  It’s that there are tons of stupid teens out there that probably don’t even know the original American Pie existed.  That’s what’s really so sad about this thing.

It’s the iPhone Facebook application crowd that’s watching this crap and they can’t even appreciate how awesome the real American Pie is because they’re watching Blue Ray DVD shit versions.

These are definitely the same people who think the song “Don’t Stop Believing” originated from The Sopranos.   OK, now I’m just getting way too pissed.

Want to see the trailer?  God this is horrible

Just remember folks, people who act in movies are basically NOTHING like their characters.  Well at least that holds true for Daniel Radcliffe:

The party-loving Harry Potter idol, a spliff between his fingers, could barely stop chuckling as the girl daubed his face at the house bash.Fellow reveller Wadia Tazi, 26, said: “Daniel was laughing and seemed to find it funny. But he didn’t really look like he knew what was going on.”

The screen idol, 20, earlier lit up the joint in front of guests and repeatedly took deep drags. He also walked around the flat blurting out: “I love weed.”  He is a kids’ favourite. I’m not sure what his fans will make of it.”

Yet just last year the £30million actor insisted: “I’ve been around some amazing people and still managed to keep a real childlike view of the world. I’m not into drugs.”

Is this really a surprise?  You gotta figure with all these weird nude plays Radcliffe appears in, it’s a safe bet that the guy has toked on some reefer every once in while.

I mean I hope people didn’t really think that he was anything like Mr. Potter, the goody two shoes would never even kiss a girl let alone do drugs type.  Come on now.

Radcliffe’s a freak.

As I watched a new episode of House last night I found myself getting extremely bored.  Don’t get me wrong.  I’m a huge fan of the show and I think that Hugh Laurie plays far and away one of the greatest characters on television.  I’m always entertained and the show always manages to keep me interested.  However, like I said, I found myself somewhat bored at times.

The plot wasn’t all that great.  Nothing major really happened.  We wound up waiting the entire show for Chase to tell Cameron about his murder.  Foreman was pretty boring.  And of course 13 didn’t even make an appearance.  About the only fun thing that happened is when House drugged Wilson (yet I was still amused by House thus me watching the whole episode).

So it’s no wonder that in the coming attractions for next week that House will be an integral part of the show again and will be harassing his former team to try and get them back.  It looks like it’ll be a memorable episode and I’m pumped to watch it.

But this begs the question of whether or not last night’s show was “on purpose.”

Fox’s new latenight skein fronted by Wanda Sykes is off to an encouraging start, with Saturday’s bow outperforming the net’s delivery with “Mad TV” in the timeslot a year ago.

The premiere of “The Wanda Sykes Show” averaged 2.2 household rating/5 share in Nielsen’s metered-markets from 11 p.m. to midnight, up 16% from “MAD’s” fourth-quarter average meters (1.9/4) and double what Spike Feresten’s show did last winter (1.1/2).

This begs a couple of questions from me.  The first one:  Is MAD TV ever going to go off the air?  Like, do people watch this show?  Granted I know SNL isn’t all that great anymore (in fact I think it sucks even though this week’s having Taylor Swift on was a nice boost for the ratings) but this is getting a little ridiculous is it not?

Second of all.  Wanda Sykes is funny.  I don’t care what people say.  Yes, her voice is extremely annoying but something tells me her show might make it.  However, this brings me to my second question.  Can we stop doing the name of the actor plus the word “show” titles please?

It all began with “The Bill Cosby Show.”  But now I think the thing is a little over done.  I mean “The Bill Engval Show?”  “Reba?”  Trust me guys there are a lot of them out there.  Whatever happened to creativity?

Eh, I guess that’s my gripe for the day.  Carry on.
