Gerard Depardieu parodies plane peeing incident

Just a few weeks after taking flak for peeing on an Air France plane, French actor Gerard Depardieu is showing he has a sense of humor about the incident.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Depardieu has shot a video spoofing the unfortunate urination.

In the video, Depardieu and pal Edouard Baer, who was with Depardieu when he peed on the plane, appear as their characters from the French series “Asterix and Obelix.”

Susan Lucci slams ABC exec in epilogue

"All My Children” star Susan Lucci has found an outlet to speak on the cancellation of her long-running soap. According to the New York Post, the actress just added a scathing epilogue to the paperback edition of her book, “All My Life: A Memoir.”

Lucci, who has played Erica Kane on the ABC soap since 1970, spills on the behind-the-scenes action that she says caused the soap’s cancellation, and specifically sticks it to ABC Daytime head Brian Frons.

The ABC exec, she writes, “has what, for me, is that fatal combination of ignorance and arrogance.”

'Breaking Bad': Every life comes with a death sentence

Like a family sized bucket from Los Pollos Hermanos, there was lots to digest in the latest episode of “Breaking Bad.”

Flashbacks, the reappearance of cancer talk, the return of Jesse’s girlfriend and her adorable son, and some incredibly tense scenes were just some of the meaty bits served up.

After the open, we were presented with the now uncommon sight of Walter White wearing a hospital gown.

Weekend reviews in 140 or less: Labor Day edition

Did anyone go see "Shark Night 3-D" this weekend? Because according to our timeline - and according to the box office - everyone's apparently still buying tickets to see "The Help."

The controversial adaptation of Kathryn Stockett's novel may have had a somewhat bashful opening, but it's been the No. 1 movie in the country for three weekends in a row, reports Entertainment Weekly.

Helen Mirren's "The Debt," meanwhile, came in second place, but with strong reviews. Both @TraceyM1991 and @LovingLeopard had praise for the cast, which also stars Sam Worthington and Jessica Chastain. ("Apollo 18" and the aforementioned "Shark Night 3-D" landed in third and fourth place, respectively.)

Entourage: ‘I love that guy’

Another episode down and one to go. We’ve got a lot of ground to cover as last night’s whopping 29-minute precursor to the finale offered up major developments that I’m not sure one more episode can resolve. (Or can it?)

Vince still won’t give up on Miss Sophia, and decides to make a DVD featuring interviews with all of his old flames, asking, “What’s your best memory of our relationship?”

With answers like, “Umm, what’s this movie rated,” you’d have to wonder if sending a visual version of your little black book to the girl you like is actually a good idea. The guys seem to find it creepy, with the exception of Turtle aka the Francis Ford Coppola of iMovie.
