Three Man Band Hugh Jackman, Michael Fassbender, and James McAvoy Dance to ‘Blurred Lines’

When it comes to speaking with celebrities, the interviewer’s job is pretty finite: get the interviewee(s) to say something memorable. An even bigger coup: get them to do something memorable. Past examples include Madonna refusing to leave the stage on The Late Show in 1994, Drew Barrymore flashing Dave in 1995, and Tom Cruise jumping all over Oprah’s couches in 2005—the list could go on for infinity.

The latest addition to the pantheon comes in the form of Hugh Jackman, Michael Fassbender, and James McAvoy, when the trio stopped by The Graham Norton Show to promote their upcoming film X-Men: Days of Future Past. Norton, always the instigator, was tipped off of Fassbender’s need to be coaxed out of his trailer (“he’s very difficult; very ornery on set,” said Jackman, completely fictitiously). Jackman’s solution to the problem? Getting the sound guy on set to play Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines very loud “just so he [Fassie] could get his mojo up.”

Like most things any of these actors do, it’s best experienced versus retold, and thus:

PEOPLE ARE M-A-D MAD AT…

Robin Thicke, who was caught blurring the lines of marriage (see what I did there!) when he hit the dance floor at Club 79 in Paris. Taking a page from the Kristin Stewart Guide To How To Get Caught Cheating, Thicke was snapped kissing a lady that’s not his Mrs.

Juan Pablo Galavais, who chatted with a reporter from The TV Page (who?) at a network party and said that a gay man would not make for a good Bachelor, telling the reporter (who verbally agreed with him) that homosexuals are “more pervert in a sense”.

Esquire Magazine, which posted an article titled The Straight Man’s Guide to HBO’s Looking. In it, writer Mike Stingley, gave a bevy of cringeworthy quotes including, “You’ll be praying for a car chase and checking your phone a lot watching this,” and “…after four episodes there is not one reference to The Wizard of Oz, All About Eve, or Barbara Streisand”.

Liam Payne, who had to endure an onslaught of Twitterfare after posting a Tweet to a Duck Dynasty cast member that included a shout to the “family values [they] still all behold”. Besides meaning to say uphold, Payne also neglected the power of his reach, forcing himself to backpedal with an onslaught of kinda/sorta/half-assey apologies.

Google, who sent out a now-leaked company-wide email that gave its employees talking points (Ex: “I am so proud to live in San Francisco and be a part of this community”) in regards to a public hearing on shuttle regulations for their private transit lines. The addendum: feel free to add your own style and opinion.

Shia LaBeouf, who keeps on keeping on.

Justin Bieber, who… who cares!

Bonus:

Joan Rivers, who called the sole heir to the Kardashian/West empire an “ugly” baby, noting that she’d “never seen a six-month-old so desperately in need of a waxing.”

Robin Thicke’s New Album Drops Today

It’s been eleven years since Robin Thicke made his father, Alan Thicke (Growing Pains), a real proud papa when the then unknown singer reinvigorated the Thicke brand by releasing his debut single, When I Get You Alone. Since then, he’s kept dad proud, with a slew of notable collaborations with artists like Will Smith, Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z, and. R. Kelly. Long having graduated the school of albumry (his sophomore effort, The Evolution of Robin Thicke came out in 2006), Thicke today drops his sixth studio album, Blurred Lines.

The album’s title track served as the first single, with its accompanying video (featuring T.I. and Pharrell) racking up over 114 million views since it premiered four months ago. The song shot to number 1 in eight countries, including the US, with Rolling Stone commenting that “he makes a near-perfect summer record by acting like his life is as perfect as his hair.” Parody videos followed.

Adding to his long roster of collaborators, the LP boasts appearance by rappers 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar as well as a track written by will.i.am. Thicke’s hair might be perfect, but as for his ego: “It’s so hard ’cause I’ve been making music for so long and people say, ‘How does it feel?’ and I’m like, ‘It feels great.’ But, you know, I guess after you’ve had this many ups and downs, it’s hard not to have perspective on it,” he said. “I always try and remind my fellow peers [that] if you sell 10 million records that means 300 million people didn’t buy it, so a little perspective is in order.”
