Alarmingly Gaunt Macaulay Culkin... What's Going On??
Oh Macaulay Culkin!
Entertainment Tonight spotted you out and about in NYC and you're looking really thin and shaggy!
Should we be concerned??
Apparently we aren't the first to think something looks off... ET also reached out to the actor's rep about his health, who replied:
"Macaulay Culkin is in perfectly good health."
We hope that's true!
Plus, we think it's time for a new Home Alone installment. A gritty can't-escape-his-past story??
HA!

who cares, he's a terrible actor!!!
But they have already convinced us plagiarism is O.K.
But they have already convinced us that plagiarism is O.K.
How embarrassing!!
HAS BEEN!
I HATE PINEAPPLE!!
hahahaaaaaaaaa!!! that blows.
Ahhh The Amanda Show was fun, but hey - is ANYTHING actually original anymore?
1st
firstttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt is soooooooooo annoying!!!!
Love our artwork Perez, great work.
Hope he gets sued for all he gots! jp
you've got to be kidding….lol
sad
Ummm. It doesn't really seem the same. There are so many movies out there today that we can say are "plagiarized" The idea has to come from somewhere…and that clip from 8 years ago was a clip…not a movie. Besides..will it really be that funny/great anyway. Let the man have a project.
who cares, nothing is original anyway anymore and I'm sure the various corps are aware of it.
The Jack Black film will still be good I am sure.
Yep knew this….anyone with kids who watched Amanda Show would know this one.
Who gives a shit? Jack Black is the shit no matter what. I don't care if he stole a whole fucking movie and made it again. He would just make it better. He is a funny motherfucker. The Amanda show skit is not the premise to this movie anyway, it is meant to be a farce not a real remake.
oh snap
i literally just got done watching that video on collegehumor.
then i check this page and perez updates with it.
craaaazy timing.
That's a pretty generic idea.
That's like saying a show with a Jack Russel Terrier is a copy of Frasier.
aaahaha….idiots
lame
is that quentin tarantino in the background? maybe that explains the plagiarism…
hahahah amazing!
thats sux
I dont think its that big of a deal, its not like the stole it word for word..
I mean they thought of the same idea.. Whoopie doo
Why was there no comparison? What a bad link!
all lies
WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO 1ST!!!!!
yea, i remember that skit..
and the skit where amanda was obsessed with amanda o__O
she's weird
who cares if it is. im sure the filmakers already when through all of the legal shit. plus the reason they redo the movies is different than the amada show. duh.
amanda please.
poo
13th
jack black rocks
1ST!! RETARD
ur a dumb ass piece of shit perez! just like cheryl trinindad you stupid whore!
who cares?
you tard. i didnt watch the video but im thinking you are probs talking about the amanda show with the whole block blister skit. its not the same at all.
Yeah…that's dumb.
OMG! I mentioned this to people a long time ago that it was the exact same idea.
Not the same.
If Jack Black wasn't fat, he'd be one of the hottest men in hollywood. He's still a cutie anyways tho!
Much Hate,
Chingfly
Re: Lawzy, Lawzy Coloreds in The White House –
You're a racist piece of shit.
I used to watch that show all the time. ah ha ha.
PS who cares? It's all gonna suck anyways
wow i saw that episode too
omg, i remember this skit!!!
amanda bynes is the shit.
and just let jack black have his movie…he hasnt had that many good ones.
is everyone seriously just noticing this?
I thought of it when I saw the commercial =/
that sucks.
i'm still going to go see it anyways. that and pineapple express
Everything has been so stanking boring since the writer's strike, and there is absolutely nothing new going on in the entertainment world. We've seen Superman and Spiderman remade a thousand times, next it's gonna be Batman or whatever has the joker in it–American Idol is getting WAYYYY old and lame and they're using record label rejects….. songs all seem to be plagiarized (Avril L), then you have Barrack Obama stealing speeches….I'm bored. Will somebody please do something that hasn't been done already—something that is actually exciting?!?!! Quick, Perez, dye your hair rainbow or something!!!
why is jack black so sexy in this picture?
OH MY GOD!! I completely remember that skit from when I was younger!
I highly doubt that the director and the producers of the movie watch The Amanda Show on Nick and stole and idea presented in 1 episode of the show! Very unlikely and a little ludicrous.
oh shit.
haha!Omg I remember that from when i was about 10,but didn't put the 2 together.
Funny shiz.

Scandal? I think not. If every movie was being called a "sacnadal" for having similarities, then what WOULD be good to watch? Lame!
I don't know Perez, I think "plagiarized" might be a little strong. Maybe "inspired." This kind of similarity happens often. I am too tired to think of an example to back up my claim however. By the way, I loved your VH1 Show. You not only have a gift for blogging but a natural ability as an interviewer and host. I have some odd crush on you!
There is no proof that they copied this. it is possible for different people to come up with the same idea. the concept is not too unique. I took an intellectual property class and it is not rare for someone else to come up with the same idea. Show me proof that this writer ever saw this show then we can talk of plagiarism.
true, the idea was plagiarized, but jack black is better than amanda bynes… MUCH BETTER!!!!!
I knew it! I heard that story before
i saw this movie about a month ago at an early screening & it SUCKS anyway!!! one of the most boring movies i've seen in a while… if you are not familiar with 80's & 90's american flicks, you probably won't laugh at all!
yeah, the idea is similar, but it's not plagiarized.
Re: first bitches – your not first idiot
i'm sorry, this is such bullshit…michel gondry is a brilliant director who allows dreams to become reality. first, Be Kind Rewind is far different than that Amanda Show segment and second, what does it matter? I'm a Perez fan but this negative post about a positive movie makes me think twice. you should be encouraging creativity in the industry, not chastising it.
saw be kind, rewind last night and it sucked. the amanda show version is 10 times "better… much better!" : )
they're nothing alike at all. the Amanda show sketch is about immigrants who dont understand the concept of a video rental store and make their own bad versions of movies, which all their customers hate. In be kind rewind they accidentally erase all of the videos and have to recreate the movies, and the people who rent them actually really like the recreations and they become really popular. The amanda show sketch and the movie are really completely different. The only similar aspect is the whole "making your own version of a movie" thing, the stories are totaly different.
No bid deal. Probably just a coinky dink
oh gosh. it's not "plagiarism". look at majority of the movies on the scene now…they are all exact plot replicas but do you call THAT plagiarism? i don't think so. get over it. the movie is just for fun so shut up and enjoy it.
It's nothing new to plagiarise a storyline from a preexisting show/film. There was an Australian film called 'Strange Bedfellows' which was totally copied in the film 'I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry'. Both had two straight men pretending to be gay and kept them as being firefighters!
JUNO WAS PLAGERIZED TOO.. & I'M SURE IT'S BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL FILM IS KOREAN. IT'S THE SAME FUCKIN MOVIE, SAME TOPIC & ENDING.. IT'S CALLED "JENNY JUNO"… NO CREDIT GIVEN WHATSOEVER!!!!!
do you really think anyone involved in this movie have heard of the amanda show? her videos sucked ass anyway
uhh Be Kind Rewind is directed by Michel Gondry - you cant get any better of a director for a film!
plus this story is also tied to a sweet old lady - taken from Yahoo movies -
"Jerry, a junkyard worker, attempts to sabotage a power plant that he believes is melting his brain. But when his plan goes awry, the magnetic field that he creates accidentally erases all of the videotapes in a local video store where his best friend Mike works. Fearing that the mishap will cost Mike his job, the two friends team up to keep the store's only loyal customer - a little old lady with a tenuous grasp on reality - from realizing what has happened by recreating and re-filming every movie that she decides to rent. From "Back to the Future," to "Robocop," to "Rush Hour," to "The Lion King," Jerry and Mike become the biggest stars in their neighborhood by starring in the biggest movies ever made. "
That's not plagiarism. It doesn't even violate copyright laws. You can't protect an idea…only the way it is expressed. I think they're both completely different expressions of similar, and extremely generic, concepts.
perez i love you but you need to learn the definition of "plagiarized"… cause this movie may be similar to The Amanda Show.. but it's sooo much more different.. this drama you're causing over nothing is embarrassing..
Who cares about Nacho Libre, Barack won 10/10 states this month alone! Wooo, BA-RACK THE VOTE PEOPLE! It's time for a REAL change, ready or not.. here we come!
This movie is not plagiarized! I can see if it was EXACTLY the same but it isnt. Anyone will sue anybody for anything
What do you expect with a writers strike and all……
jack black looks so sexy as ablonde
perez i can't believe you would post some bs like this up on your site? try and spread rumours that 1. ppl care about 2. might actually have some truth to it.
you can't plagiarize an idea. because that is all that is similar, the concept of redoing videos and renting them out.
and to all the other idiots. jack black didn't write the f-ing thing, and neither did amanda bynes. they are just actors.
mos def's movie too.
That's not really plagiarism… similar concept… but different enough. One YouTube video is not a scandal. Or shocking. And it's not word for word like Barack.
Maybe it's cool that Jack Black "borrows" from Nickelodeon, too. He is pretty tight with them.
saying he plagiarized the amanda show is like saying you plagiarized Paris Hilton's name. I don't see it.
That's really sad, I hope it's not true! Does anyone have any pictures of Jack Black's private parts? Who where like men who dress as babies? Anyone? You know, diapers and stuff. Let me know!
Who even cares? The clip from The Amanda Show is a 2 minute segment. Maybe it sparked the idea for it, or maybe they came up with the idea on their own. Who hasn't watched a movie and thought they could make it better? I just don't think this is an issue.
It must have been produced by Buttcrak Osama!
Don't be stupid people! Vote Hillary!
Jack Black has always been a hack… I feel bad for him though.. this is embarrassing.
I thought everyone new that it was a rip off of The Amanda Show.
Re: squee –
Are you retarded? Learn how to spell or go back to Africa you spear chucker.
brody jenner is in the background! hahahah
he's not even credited with writing it, & a man's got to eat.
p.s. love you Perezzles!
P.P.S. To Mika #34: Eat a dick
haha..drake bell..
UPDATE!! UPDATE!! UPDATE!!
J.LO CHECKED INTO HOSPITAL AFTER GOING INTO LABOUR TODAY.
Re: C Line –
lol. I rarely reply to messages on here, but yours definitely made me laugh. My sentiments exactly.
It's not plagiarism, look it up Perez. I'm sure the production studio's lawyers aren't totally useless and made sure ideas weren't stolen. What the Amanda show did was create parodies of popular movies and so did Jack's film. Mos def this is legal, and the fact that the movie did the same thing as the Amanda show ISN'T plagiarism.
He's no Avril. Thats a whole different story.
They say that there are only 7 plots, period. Did you check the credits? I don't think Jack Black wrote this or directed it , so why worry or put his name on it. Mos Def is in the movie too.
DRAKE BELL WAS AND IS SOOOOOOOO CUTE
wtevr!
Re: SO IS JUNO – oh yeah, & that stripper turned writer acts like she pulled the whole idea & script out of her ass. she said she never even heard of "jenny juno". yeah right, almost the same title & it is about the very same subject & it's a dark comedy. i hope the cunt doesn't win an oscar for that shit.
He looks thinner.. looking kinda cute there. OMG i cant belive i wrote that!!!
OMG i knew it when i saw the preview.. haha i remember that
sheesh perez who cares. the amanda show was not good. Be Kind Rewind will probably be Much Better! heheh
The premise is the same, so what???
It's not like the movie is the same as the Amanda Show word for word as say…oh, I don't know, an Obama speech?
