Heather Matarazzo stars alongside Jennifer Coolidge in "Magnus!"

3 hours ago | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »

Out actress Heather Matarazzo has signed on to play one of the most interesting characters she's likely to ever play — and she's played some odd ones. Heather will be starring as "a trailer-trash gal who loves singing and gets cast in a local production of Jesus Christ Superstar" who is likened to Jessica Simpson.

The film, Magnus!, is from openly gay director Ash Christian (Fat Girls) and Best in Show actress Jennifer Coolidge will play Heather's mom.

Yes, it sounds incredibly awesome.

Shooting starts this month and PrideSource.com reports that production hopes to be wrapped in time to get Magnus! in next year's Lgbt film festivals. Sounds good to me!

In the meantime, the just-turned 27-year-old actress is keeping busy as an ambassador for the Hetrick-Martin Institute, which just held its annual Emery Awards last night. Heather attended with her fiancée, Caroline Murphy.

And, of course, there's the return »

Deep Inside Pearl Jam's 'Ten Club' In The First Installment Of Fandemonium

2 November 2009 10:01 AM, PST | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »

Sometimes being a fan only involves cranking up tunes in your car or having a poster on your wall. But some groups attract a whole different sect of enthusiast, which is why we've invented Fandemonium, a new feature devoted to the deep crevices of musical devotion. In the opening salvo, a Pearl Jam superfan makes a pilgrimage to see her favorite group and meet some like-minded folks along the way.

By Carrie Pierson

When I received special some special "Pearl Jam fans only" coupons upon arriving at my hotel in Philadelphia last Friday (October 30), I knew I had crossed the line from ardent admirer to superfan. After all, I was checking into the hotel under the special Pearl Jam Ten Club discounted rate available only to fan club members. You know the scene in "Best in Show" where all of the dog owners check into the hotel with their dogs? »

Jane Lynch talks about being butch and hating bras

30 October 2009 9:00 AM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »

Michael Musto says it best in his Village Voice interview with Jane Lynch: she's everywhere — and it's a good thing, too. I mean, we can't keep watching her as Joyce Wischnia on our L Word DVDs forever, no matter how great the scene where she proposes to Phyllis in the nude truly is.)

Lynch first popped up on our radar playing the hilarious butch dog handler Christy Cummings in Best in Show, a role that obviously wasn't much of a stretch for her.

Now she's part of the ensemble for Nora and Delia Ephron's Off-Broadway hit, Love, Loss and What I Wore, Musto asks her if she's replacing Rosie O'Donnell, to which Lynch says, "I know they're gonna give me the butch lesbian to play!"

 

It's because she does it so well, and says she's "very attracted to feminine women."

When asked if she's always been out, Lynch says:

'Community' recap: Carpe diem!

2 October 2009 2:42 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

If the premiere episode of Community flunked the exam, and last week's episode scored top marks, then this week's show merely passed. Things started out crisply, but the show's second half couldn't maintain the laugh count, and it managed to turn me off to Abed (Danny Pudi). More on that later. First, it should be noted that for the second week in a row, a supporting character managed to steal the spotlight. Last week it was Ken Jeong as the eccentric Korean Spanish teacher Señor Chang, and this week we were introduced to Professor Whitman (John Michael Higgins), who taught a class in. »

Interview: "Glee"'s Jane Lynch Got Picked First in High School P.E. (But She's Still No Sue Sylvester!)

30 September 2009 9:15 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »

Jane Lynch has arrived!

After years of making a ridiculously strong impression in bit parts in movies like The 40 Year Old Virgin and Best in Show, and in TV shows such as Party Down and Love Spring International, Lynch finally has a break-out star turn to call her own.

In Glee, she plays Sue Sylvester, the hilariously tyrannical head coach of the cheerleading squad who is determined to destroy the Glee program in order to co-opt their funding (because, damn it, she needs that fog machine!).

The character, like the show (which was recently picked up by the network for a full season), is wonderfully over-the-top.

Best of all, the show, and Lynch's role in the recent movie Julie & Julia which is garnering talk of an Oscar nomination, is something of a vindication for the 49-year-old actress who also happens to be an out lesbian.

Aaron Carter Cha Chas Ahead on Dancing’s First Night

22 September 2009 4:40 AM, PDT | People.com - TV Watch | See recent People.com - TV Watch news »

Let's hear it for the boys! Dancing with the Stars' eight male contestants took to the freshly buffed parquet floor Monday night to kick off the new season. First up, were pop star Aaron Carter and Karina Smirnoff, who appeared to be wearing the same fringe pants that she performed in at the Emmy Awards on Sunday night. Cheered on by Aaron's brother, Nick Carter and his fellow Backstreet Boys, the duo delivered a solid cha cha. Len Goodman said it was full of potential. Bruno Tonioli called it sharp and edgy. And they were awarded 22 points. It was a tough act to follow for ultimate fighter Chuck Liddell and Anna Trebunskaya, who performed a clunky and funky fox trot. Carrie Ann Inaba thought Chuck was smooth and Len suggested Chuck get in touch with his feminine side. Their debut earned 16 points. Iron Chef America host Mark Dacascos and »

The group prepares prewritten sketches, takes audience suggestions and creates scenes on the spot and closes every show with an original comedic song. Most recently The Jove was awarded Best in Show and a Gold award at the 2009 Addy Awards for a series of 7 commercials created for the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County. »

Comic-Con Wrap: Iron Man 2, New Moon Best In Show

26 July 2009 6:16 PM, PDT | Rotten Tomatoes | See recent Rotten Tomatoes news »

The truth about Sunday at this year's Comic-Con is that it was the day most people skipped - even the Hollywood studios. With only two film panels slated for the day (Overture's docu-romance Paper Heart, which stars a geeky girl who probably reads comics, and the festival hit Mystery Team, which will delight Encyclopedia Brown enthusiasts) it's no wonder that the whole place felt a little empty. So instead of recapping Sunday panels, I'm taking a look back at the entire four days of Comic-Con 2009 to point out what was good, great, and sort of weird about this year's... »

Video: Cthulhu vs. God

15 June 2009 11:20 AM, PDT | doorQ.com | See recent doorQ.com news »

In a battle of Cthulhu vs. God, which fictional, all-powerful deity would win?

Thats precisely the question the makers of Scribblenauts, the new, interactive video game voted Best In Show at the recent E3, wanted to find out.

And here's how it went down. Beware, it's not for the faint of heart: 

  So when a shotgun wielding, skateboard riding desert deity takes on the Unspeakable Horror from Beyond we've learned that there can be only one clear victor: literacy!   Source:  YouTube - IGN Scribblenauts Demo at E3 - 06/10/09  (and the indomidable Joel Bellucci)   »
