Looks like Mel Gibson and ex-wife Robyn want to put their house on the market after all of Mel’s craziness of the past few years. The pricetag for the 6-bedroom gem: $14.5 Million.

And Mel promises that if you take a tour, he’ll throw in a free racial slur.  :)

Although their movie won’t be out until July, the trailer for the new Justin Timberlake/Jessica Biel movie “Friends With Benefits” is out…and it looks like this one has potential!  (And I don’t just say that because of the random GEN X songs that show up!)  Watch here…

Someone cue up the Gloria Gaynor song.  We’re going to find out if these two “can surviiiiiiiiiive!”

Entertainment Weekly correspondant (and Bonner Springs native) TANNER STRANSKY joined us again for our Entertainment Beat podcast again this week to talk about two things that seem to be on the rocks…The Future of “TWO AND A HALF MEN,” post-Charlie Sheen, and the relationship of Brad and Emily from “THE BACHELOR.”  Listen here!

I say…YES. And if you love a good SHAMROCK SHAKE on St. Patrick’s Day (and you’re over the age of 21, OF COURSE), you might enjoy this too!

It’s called the IRISH PIRATE, and it’s an adult version of McDonald’s famous Shamrock Shake.  To make it:

1.) Combine 1 c. whole milk, 1 pint of mint chocolate chip ice cream, 1 tsp. mint extract, and 2 oz. of dark rum in a blender.   (Add a few drops of green food coloring if you’d like.)

2.) Blend ’til smooth.

3.) Garnish with mint.

4.) Sip down a nice treat that would make Ronald McDonald’s nose turn an-even BRIGHTER shade of red!

(Of course…like we said earlier…you MUST BE 21 to try.  Picture courtesy Food2.com.)

We’ve all seen “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” a BAZILLION times…but what if, rather than being a comedy, the movie was an angsty GEN X indie film?

That’s EXACTLY what this YouTube video portrays, at least for a different trailer.  Take a watch!

Aflac pulled the plug on their relationship with comedian Gilbert Gottfried, who starred as the voice of the Aflac duck in their commercials, after he posted some rather insensitive comments about the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan on Twitter, including these (via TMZ)…

Lesson #1: don’t make fun of an event where thousands of people lost their lives.

Lesson #2: DEFINITELY don’t make fun of it when you’re working for an insurance company who will have to pay out MILLIONS of dollars in policies.  Just sayin’.

Nine years after Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow get HUUUUUGE accolades for their duet on the song “Picture,” they’ve collaborated again on Kid’s new CD for this song, “Collide.”  (And no, it’s not a remake of Howie Day’s song of the same name.)  Good stuff…take a listen!

No, it wasn’t on ABC, CBS, NBC or Fox.  It wasn’t on TBS, USA, HBO, or TNT.  And no, it wasn’t even on Bravo (which will air about ANYTHING these days).

Charlie Sheen’s new “online TV show” (I use that term loosely) debute on UStream, an online video stream over the weekend.  Lucky for you, we are able to play it back.  However, be warned, it’s uncensored…so parental discretion is highly advised…and you probably won’t want your speakers turned up at work either.  Take a watch.
