Entertainment Link-Off: Is There A Doctor in the House?

It’s Saturday again, so that means the Entertainment Link-Off is here. This week features Nicky Whelan. She might be better known for her work in the Aussie soap Neighbours, but she’s currently on Scrubs as the hot Aussie med student Maya. I don’t think her name was mentioned once in the first 3 episodes this season and her entire screen time probably doesn’t exceed 5 minutes. Oh well, she’s there for eye candy purposes.

After the jump, some Avatar news, take a lesson on how to fire someone in Gotham City, a look at movies that should have never seen the light of day and Brian Cox teaches Hamlet to a 2 year old kid.

Avatar star Sam Worthington can be seen in the upcoming Clash of the Titans. Here’s the latest one sheet to get everyone excited. (Latino Review)

Despite some early rave reviews for the movie, Leona Lewis may have single handedly destroyed the film. (Slashfilm)

Avatar and Sherlock Holmes will be duking it out at the box office later this month. Now the question is who will come out on top? (Slashfilm)

Oh while I’m on the topic of Sherlock Holmes, let’s take a look back at the classic Holmes. (LA Times)

While James Cameron’s main goal was to change filmmaking and the movie experience with Avatar, he didn’t quite get there. I’m sure Avatar is quite the visual experience and will be fun movie to watch but it won’t really change the definition of films. Rotten Tomatoes looks at the 10 items that have changed the way we see movies. (Part 1, Part 2)

Let’s take a tour through Cory Monteith’s new crib. (Zap2it)

Musical fans have gotten their wish! Idina Menzel has been added to the cast of Glee for the remainder of the show’s first season. She does share a lot of resemblance to Lea Michele eh? Too bad she’s not going to be playing her long lost mother… or is she? (Fancast)

First look at Tron Legacy. Yes, that’s Olivia Wilde right there. (IESB) Can’t wait til Decemeber 2010!

A nice interview with Zach Gilford on his FNL exit. It’s kinda spoilerish, so if you’re waiting for it to air on NBC, perhaps it’s better that you wait til summer 2010 before reading this. (LA Times)

Kevin Smith’s A Couple of Dicks has a new title! However, he can’t announce it yet. In the meantime, let’s take a look at other films that have titles with double meanings that could have gone horribly wrong. (Black Book)

The folks at Gotham City aren’t normal and may not react nicely to bad news. Instead of walking away, they’ll come back and destroy the entire freakin’ town. Here are a few tips on how to fire someone. (College Humor)

Letterman just might be benefiting from the whole Tiger thing. (Entertainment Weekly)

MacGruber test screen went surprisingly well… (The Vertex) It may be the best SNL film since Wayne’s World! Umm… well that’s not saying much given that every film released after Wayne’s World weren’t all that great.

Something awesome to check out: Owen Wilson interviews Woody Harrelson. (Interview Magazine)

A look at worst movie spinoffs. (IGN)

20 movie sequels no one wanted. (Total Film)

50 Cent wants to use Susan Boyle to boost his album sales. (Telegraph)

Michael Bay might not be a good filmmaker, but he does have a knack for good eye candy. (Huffington Post)

Zombified Star Wars posters! (Collider)

McG wants to make more Terminator films. Please stop him now. (Latino Review)

Don’t know much about Nicky Whelan? Perhaps this quasi-old interview will help. (Herald Sun) For all the guys out there, she’s currently solo after breaking it off with David Spade.

I’ve always been a fan of the stuff that Bill Lawrence creates. I’m still following Scrubs despite the fact that it has exceeded its natural end and part of the cast has been replaced with rather forgettable characters (seriously the newbie Lucy is no J.D.). I also don’t care about the somewhat lackluster reviews of Scrubs season 9 because the show is still better than most comedies out there. Anyway, The TV Addict has a nice interview with Bill talking about Scrubs, Cougar Town and Tiger Woods. (The TV Addict)

We’ve all seen the Muppets perform Bohemian Rhapsody not too long ago. Well these guys are at it again, this time with Ringing of the Bells. I suppose this is appropriate since it is Christmas season after all.

Let’s end this off with a cute funny video. It seems like teaching a 2 year old Hamlet is a lot more fun than teaching that to a bunch of grade 12 kids. Not convinced? Allow Brian Cox to demonstrate.
