No, T.R. Knight is not pulling a Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder and actually PLAYING Jackie Robinson, but he will be donning the role of Brooklyn Dodgers travelling secretary Harold Parrott.
The movie, called 42, is based on the FAMED baseball player Jackie Robinson, who was the first black Major Leaguer of his time!
Chadwick Boseman will play Jackie, and Harrison Ford plays Dodgers' executive, Branch Rickey.
Tell us, Jen! Which SNL star partied the hardest? It was Jason Sudeikis, wasn't it? LOLz.
This weekend, Jennifer Aniston and BF Justin Theroux attended the Saturday night Live wrap party after coming out and showing their support for host buddy Ben Stiller.
What'd you two talk about with Ben? More Tropic Thunder? Along Came Polly 2: Polly Harder? A Polly/Thunder crossover movie called Tropic Polly???
This definitely makes up for that Tower Heistpaycheck movie!
We're excited to announce that Ben Stiller's Red Hour Digital will be creating more of those HIGHlarious trailers from Tropic Thunder (above) in a new online series he's putting together called The Fake Trailer Project.
So there's this energy drink, right? It's called Pussy. You drink it. They named it that just so you could say, "I need to drink some Pussy right now."
We get it. Shock value. Attention. "Edge."
In the end though, is it just in bad taste?
Pun completely intended.
Pussy is a 100% natural drink. No nasty chemicals and nothing manufactured. It is made for people looking for a natural alternative. The name Pussy shocks and demands attention — that's the point. Inhibition is a recipe for mediocrity. This is a premium energy drink named with confidence.
Beyond it trying to be totally serious about it being called that, it just seems like the took a page out of that joke energy drink from Tropic Thunder, which was called Booty Sweat.
Doesn't really matter which came first, the point is that they're equally a joke, only that one of them is real.
Tom will be producing the movie along with Ben Stiller. Ben says:
“Les Grossman’s life story is an inspiring tale of the classic human struggle to achieve greatness against all odds. He has assured me he plans to quote, ‘Fucking kill the shit out of this movie and make Citizen fucking Kane look like a piece of crap home movie by the time we are done.’ I am honored to be working with him.”
Check out this HIGHlarious clip of Tom Cruise dressed as his Tropic Thunder alter ego Les Grossman cursing out Robert Pattinson after he threatens to wash his precious hair.
The two paired up to make a spoof video about R-Patz's filthy locks for the 2010 MTV Movie Awards airing June 6th.
