David Schwimmer & James Corden "Drop The Mic" In Rap Battle


Last night on CBS' The Late Late Show, David Schwimmer and host James Corden threw down in a "Drop The Mic" rap battle, and some hilarious rhymes were dropped.

Corden began with this: "Millennials, let me introduce you to this guy. His name is David – he was famous in '95. He was on TV then. Now it's 2016, and he has no Friends."

Referencing Schwimmer's new role in The People v. O.J. Simpson against him: "He was a Kardashian on TV, but that was only for pretend. You played Robert, and that was a great combo. But you were so white, you shoulda probably played the Bronco."

Schwimmer was not intimidated, opening his salvo with this: "We all know as an actor your roles were all the same: the heavy best friend, the humorous side-kick with a belly so big you can't find your own –."

Along the way, the former Friends star took aim at Corden's weight ("They know me in Japan; they know you at In & Out"), and TV pedigree ("You're late night; I'm prime-time. You're cola, I'm fine wine.")

The battle looked like a draw until Rebel Wilson crashed the party with rap attacks for both Corden ("Carpool Karaoke, you think it's your big thing. But everyone is thinking, 'Shut up and let Adele sing.'") and Schwimmer ("David, your career – it's a huge mistake. It's like Ross and Rachel; it's 'on a break.'").

Some fun stuff here. You can watch the full battle royale below.

DVD: Rebel Wilson & Olivia Newton-John - A FEW BEST MEN


Thrilled to see A FEW BEST MEN finally get a DVD and On-Demand release here in the USA.

I got to attend the world premiere a couple of years ago in Australia and thoroughly enjoyed it. Olivia Newton-John breaks out of "good girl" mode and gives her funniest performance to date.

And, of course, PITCH PERFECT star Rebel Wilson never disappoints. Plus, side men Xavier Samuel and Kevin Bishop are hysterical at those "best men."

Rebel Wilson (Pitch Perfect) and Olivia Newton-John (Grease) deliver massive laughs in this wickedly funny comedy about supporting your best friends "for better or for worse."

When David unexpectedly gets engaged during a whirlwind vacation, his best friends are determined to send him off into married life in signature style.

But when they arrive in Australia for the ceremony, the nuptial plans go from bad to worse as the guys discover that unpredictable relatives, a cross-dressing sheep and a deranged drug dealer don't necessarily add up to a match made in heaven.

It's going to be a day no one will forget in this hilarious film also starring Laura Brent (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader), Xavier Samuel (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2), Kris Marshall (Love Actually) and Kevin Bishop (Muppet Treasure Island).

Available May 5th.

Rebel Wilson to star in "Private Benjamin" remake


Rebel Wilson looks to be slated to star in a remake of the '80s comedy Goldie Hawn film, Private Benjamin.

The original featured Hawn as a woman who joins the army after her husband dies on their wedding night.

The new version casts Wilson as a redneck who, along with a rich city girl, joins the Marines to escape the issues of their present lives.

Wilson's career has been in high gear lately, with her hit TV show “Super Fun Night” on ABC and several high profile movie roles including “Pitch Perfect,” “Ice Age: Continental Drift,” and “Bridesmaids."

60 Seconds with Rebel Wilson



Rebel Wilson, with PITCH PERFECT cast mate Anna Kendrick, promotes the movie and shows off her off-handed, fab comedic self.

I met Rebel earlier this year at the premiere of A FEW BEST MEN with Olivia Newton-John. It was clear then, as now, that Rebel is very talented and has a huge career in front of her.

She makes me laugh...

Trailer: Pitch Perfect - opens October 5th



Pitch Perfect, the debut feature from Avenue Q director Jason Moore, is a new comedy about the competition world of collegiate a capella singers. Think along the lines of a GLEE version of Bring It On and Mean Girls.

The film stars Twilight's Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson from Bridesmaids as members of the all-female group.

I spent some time with Rebel Wilson early this year at the premiere of her film A Few Best Men and it was obvious from her performances AND her intelligence that she is clearly someone to watch.

Pitch Perfect will be released in theaters October 5.
