The Boys of Summer

-- Dorothy Snarker from AfterEllen.com

I like superhero movies. I really do. They're fun and fast and the costumes are faaaa-bulous. Straight men in stretchy fabric and capes – this is better than figure skating! This summer's heroic roster includes Iron Man, Batman and The Incredible Hulk. And as great as those crime fighters are, they’re also a reminder that when it comes to superhero movies, no women need apply  – this is man country.

New York Times film critic Manohla Dargis recently opined on the lack of women heroes and women— period — in today's big budget blockbusters. Could this be the realization of Warner Brothers exec Jeff Robinov's decree that the studio would not make any more movies with female leads? Dargis thinks so:

 

Exclusive: Jennifer Hudson’s Pocketbook-Swinging Sex and the City Interview

The world-at-large is waiting with Cosmo-baited breath for the release of the Sex and the City movie in two weeks (May 30th)! Ready for some Carrie Bradshaw fashion roadkill??? Some Samantha spunk-talk? Miranda scowling and Charlotte baby-obsessing? Well, yes. You are. But you also need to get extra-ready because you're gonna see a glowing and sassy Oscar-winner onscreen when Jennifer Hudson appears as Louise, a sweet NYC newbie who snags a job as Carrie's handbag-obsessed assistant. It's a cute turn, and Hudson brings some youth and fresh air to the ensemble — and she looks fab.

And no she doesn't sing in the film. But you can hear her croon the closing tune of the film, "All Dressed in Love" — which is a very retro-disco glam/upbeat anthem all about fashion, passion and a chunky groovin' beat. Bless!!!

Here's a Q&A we nabbed with J-Hud at the recent Sex and the City junket in NYC. She's hot! And tall. And outspoken. And how many Oscar winners do you really get to dish with about fashion, boys and pre-nups, okayyyy? But let's her tell it.

New Gnarls Barkley Video - "Going On"

 

Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo are back at it - well, they're not present in this video, but ... - with their second The Odd Couple single. And it's a cool one. Filmed in Jamaica, the video opens with the text, A group of friends celebrate their discovery of a portal to another dimension.

And so it goes: Upon discovering a magic door, a community of amazing dancers parade down their street to determine where this portal leads. I love the concept paired with the cryptic, melancholy lyrics.

 

In Gnarls news, the band will play a "secret" show in New York on June 8, according to NME. And after the jump, you can watch a snippet of "Going On" MTV filmed when Gnarls was its Artist of The Week - featuring some mildly-enthused furries.
