Oh almighty Gods of Rock, we'll be preparing an offering for you in May 2012 — in the form of a NEW Tenacious D album!

It's called RIZE OF THE FENIX!

This will be the first studio album that Jack Black and Kyle Gass have melted in six years, and it's been more than a decade since their critically acclaimed (and platinum) debut in 2001!

Also, the D just announced their first American tour date: a Memorial Day performance in Washington at the Sasquatch Festival. Incredible AND perfect!!

Oh, and FYI — that album cover is HIGHlarious. We can't wait!

How about U??

This is brilliant!

A new video celebrating the Bill Clinton Foundation's 10th anniversary appeared on the Funny or Die website and it is HIGHlarious!

Celebs such as Ben Stiller, Matt Damon, Kristen Wiig, Sean Penn, Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen, Kevin Spacey, and Jack Black joined none other than Bill Clinton himself for a video filled with LOLz.

Even Sean Penn made us chuckle! Crazy, right???

Ch-ch-check it out above.

You know Charlie Kaufman's writing work if you've ever seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or Being John Malkovich.

He also directed Synedoche, New York. He's a film gem.

And now he's about to go in for another round of directing.

His next project, Frank or Francis, already has Jack Black and Nicolas Cage attached, and hopefully Steve Carell will be next.

Knowing his work, we're sure this film is going to be thought-provoking and just plain entertaining!

Do it, Steve. Doooo it!

The press conference was for Kung Fu Panda 2, which, if you can't tell from the title and live in a hole, is an animated children's film. She's plays the Tigress.

The first movie was well-reviewed, and widely known.

However, the press conference at Cannes resulted in some weird questions that had nothing to do with the movie. Especially for Jolie:

Jolie, who voices Tigress in the computer animated 'Kung Fu Panda 2' and its predecessor, was grilled about "Jolie's children, Jolie's motherhood, Jolie playing tough women, Jolie playing a tigress, Jolie's great popularity in China, what Jolie thinks about bin Laden."

Being taken aback by being asked about bin Laden at the press conference of a kid's movie, Jolie said:

"I'm here in the context of 'Kung Fu Panda'; I'd rather not get into such a heavy issue."

Which is DEF the right thing to say! We're so glad she didn't take the bait and talk about it at all, because the movie is just innocent fun. That question had no right to be there!

Not only that, though, but her co-stars Jack Black and Dustin Hoffman got some weirdo questions too:

Another reporter asked Jolie, Black and Hoffman how they felt about 'Kung Fu Panda' series creating some of their most memorable roles after such distinguished careers.

"Well," said Dustin Hoffman, laughing at the blunt question, "I think it's a fitting end to a long, distinguished career. If, you know, if I was never aware of irony before, I am now."

The stars were also quizzed about how they find inner peace. Hoffman's reply? "I've never been so at peace as I am at this moment, being this famous, in front of all these cameras, and sitting next to Angelina."

Hoffman has always been known for giving witty, charming, and playful interviews. We're glad he took the unusual questions in stride!

Regardless of the weirdness, it doesn't change the fact that we're excited to see the movie guys! You handled that conference really well!
