Best Celebrity Quotes of 2010

Before we give you the top 10 movies we wished we hadn't seen we're going to dazzle you with the words of wisdom from Hollywood's most interesting and disturbing people. So without further adieu, here are the best celebrity quotes of 2010, enjoy:

• If Elton John and Madonna had a baby it would be Lady Gaga.
  - Jon Bon Jovi (the best observation of the year)

• Do I hope that those people die screaming of rectal cancer? Yeah. You know, but I'm not going to spend a lot of energy on it.
  - Sean Penn (we had forgotten how charming he can be).

• “Are you serious?” -- Lindsay Lohan's reaction to her jail sentence (duhhh)

• "Listen, everyone is entitled to my opinion." -- Madonna (no explanation necessary)

• "The internet's completely over. I don't see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. They won’t pay me an advance for it, and then they get angry when they can’t get it. All these computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers, and that can’t be good for you.” -- Prince (Purple Rain or Purple Haze???)

• “What would people most like to see in 3-D? Probably a naked lady.” -- HughHefner (you got to say one thing for him, he's consistent)

• "Hang on, everybody - I wanna try something I saw in a cartoon once!" from the A Team

• “I was told that Dolph had punched my rib cage into my chest, compressing my heart. If it had swollen any more, I would have died. After that, I was like, ‘Dolph, it’s only a movie, bro…’” –Sylvester Stallone on filming “The Expendables” with Dolph Lundgren (unfortunately for us, the movie was completed and released)

• "I don't know if this is too much for your magazine, but I can actually mentally give myself an orgasm." -- Lady Gaga (maybe it has something to do with the meat dress?)

• "We are requesting asylum from Hollywood star whackers." - Randy and Evi Quaid's lawyer reads out a statement during the couple's immigration hearing in Vancouver, B.C. (we intend to write a post soon entitled "Why Randy Quaid & his Wife are so Crazy.")

• "I actually choose the way I eat according to the way animals have sex."
  - Nicolas Cage says he'll only eat animals who are 'dignified' in their sexual pursuits. (and yes we're going to write a post called "Why is Nick Cage so Crazy and why doesn't he pay his taxes?")

• “I really hate vaginas. I’m allergic to vagina. But I can’t say I had no idea, because it was a 12-hour shoot, so you kind of get the picture that these women are going to stay naked after, like, five or six hours. But I wasn’t exactly prepared. I had no idea what to say to these girls. Thank God I was hung over.” —Robert Pattinson on his photo shoot with naked women (This was more insight than we ever hoped to glean from vampire boy - we are thinking of dedicating a post to the question, why doesn't Robert Pattison like Vaginas?).

• “I think parents need to beat the (expletive) outta their kids. I think the whole spanking thing and how it’s gotten all PC is for the birds. … (My dad) put me through a wall; it’s the only reason I’m still alive.” -- Pink (It's nice to see Hollywood embracing family values)

• “Everyone was so worried about who was going to want to see this movie. I remember them being like, ‘How do you get guys to a ballet movie? How do you get girls to a thriller?’ And the answer is a lesbian scene. Everyone wants to see that.” –Natalie Portman (the Empire is Dumbstruck).
  

• “Today’s ‘Sesame Street’ will not be brought to you by the number 34 or the letter D.” -- Russell Brand’s tweet in September over the controversy about his wife Katy Perry’s revealing outfit on “Sesame Street” (we are thinking of watching Sesame Street again)
  

We didn't say that they these quotes would be profound - c'mon it's Hollywood, what did you expect?

Top Movies of 2010 that We Missed - part 2

It's the New Year but we still have finished our lists, so here is part 2 of the Best Films of 2010 we haven't seen yet but want to...

• Vincere - (which means victory in English) This is an Italian film about Mussolini but with a personal twist. The cinematography looks fantastic and this seems to be far the best foreign movie trailer we've seen for 2010. Although the film is in Italian it looks to be fascinating and perhaps enlightening as well - most of us only know Mussolini as a clownish caricature but there must have been more to him to get as far as he did (even if he did turn out to be a bit of a jerk).
  

The secret true story about Mussolini's other wife & rise to power

• Hubble 3D - If there are two things we love - it's space and IMAX movies. Now it just so happens that your editors were present at the original launch of the Hubble Space telescope back in 1990. And guess what this was narrated by Leonardo Di Caprio, who as we've noted seemed to be in the midst of a number of the most interesting projects in Hollywood last year - so this documentary has everything going for it.
  

• Zonad - This movie looks as crazy as the title but for a comedy we figure that's a good thing. We've always believed that Ireland was a happier place than most contemporary movies portray it and perhaps this is the proof that we needed - and of course what could be funnier than Irish space aliens?
  

Take me to your nearest pub earthlings....

• Princess Kaiulani - This is a bio-epic about the heir to Hawaii's thrown right as the United States was moving to take over Hawaii at the end of the 19th century. It certainly appears to be a compelling story, shot in both Hawaii and England.
  

• The Best Worst Movie -A documentary about what has been acknowledged to be the worst film ever-made, Trolls 2, which has now become a cult classic. For folks like us who love lists, this is a must see.

• Agora - From as far as we can tell this is the story of whoever it was who burned all the books in Alexandria (Egypt, not Virginia) way back whenever and some lady who tried to stop them. As far as we know there may have been a papyrus version of People magazine - well, that's all conjecture. The lovely and talented Rachel Weisz stars in this one and given her previous role in the Mummy series this seems like a theme she's developing...

• South of the Border - Oliver Stone & Hugo Chavez; G.W. & Fox News must have really hated this movie - that's probably good reason to see it in itself. But it appears as though Oliver got a chance to talk with multiple South American presidents - giving us a unique perspective into what's happening south of the border.
  

• True Grit - What can we say, we like the Cohen Brothers and really admire Jeff Bridges (although sometimes, like in this year's Tron, he let us down a bit). A lot of people have tried to make comparisons between John Wayne's Rooster Cogburn and Jeff Bridge's character - well, we think the difference is simple - The Duke was always playing some variation of himself in his Westerns (which worked out pretty well), Jeff tends to explore his characters a bit more, become them - instead of the other way around. We're looking forward to seeing how this works out in the new True Grit. BTW - it looks as though both Josh Brolin and Matt Damon went the extra mile on this one too...
  

The Old West was full of bearded, one-eyed vigilante marshals who shot straight
and spoke funny - or so we've heard tell...

Never fear - we're not done with our lists yet - next one will be the top ten movies we watched last year but wish we hadn't...
