10 Great Movie Performances by (Usually) Dreadful Actors


This Weezer Cover Performance Doesn't Exactly Go as Planned

0

These poor kids. It takes a lot of guts to get up and perform a well-known song like Weezer's "Undone - The Sweater Song" in front of a live audience. You can tell they aren't exactly comfortable on stage as the song begins, but you still want them to nail it. If they can just get to the lyrics and get in a groove, they'll be more comfortable and it'll all be OK. And then things hilariously take a turn for the worse which is why this video ended up on the Internet and racked up so many views. Props to the music teacher at the end who fulfills the stereotype of a guy who tries too hard to be cool.

American Exchange Student Gets Stuck in Giant Vagina in Germany

And no, he wasn't on vacation with the Octomom.

According to Metro, an American exchange student got stuck inside a giant marble vagina on the campus of Germany's Tubingen University Institute of Microbiology Friday afternoon.

Naturally, he climbed inside the stone cooter because of a dare.

It took 22 firemen in five emergency vehicles to free the student from the giant vagina, and luckily, Erick Guzman was on the scene with his camera and uploaded several pictures of the incident to the web along with the caption: "I was there!!! He just wanted to take a funny picture."

Guzman also said the fire department wasn't too thrilled about being there, and the student was really embarrassed.

The giant stone vagina has been on display at the Institute of Microbiology for 13 years. It came from Peruvian "artist" Fernando de la Jara, who made an unbelievable $173,000 for sculpting a birth canal out of a giant rock.

They say that everything happens for a reason, and maybe for this American student, it was the best way possible to learn just how powerful a woman's vagina can be.

NASCAR Fan Chews Out Neighbor Watching World Cup Instead of Race

Surprisingly, the incident took place north of the Mason-Dixon line.

According to The Republican, a woman in Amherst, Mass., called police on Sunday after a neighbor called her to complain that her World Cup celebration was ruining his NASCAR viewing experience.

Woman Gets Call From NASCAR Neighbor about Her World Cup Celebration

The unnamed woman said the neighbor scolded her because her cheering along with the noise from her television were disrupting his ability to watch NASCAR and listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd at the same time. The man also called her "a bad name" and yelled at her for "taking jobs away from Americans."

The woman called police just to document the situation and told them not to send anybody to the house because she still felt safe, as the man did not make any direct threats. The number of the caller was blocked, so she wasn't able to pinpoint exactly which neighbor had taken issue with her television habits.

The woman, who is originally from South America, said she has been wearing numerous jerseys from her native continent during the World Cup competition taking place in Brazil, which is probably one of the many countries her NASCAR-loving neighbor wouldn't be able to identify on a map.

Hey, we're actually in Brazil covering the World Cup: Mandatory is headed to the World Cup!

Here Is Michelle Wie Twerking

24-year-old Michelle Wie finally broke through and won her first major over the weekend, as she held off the number one women's golfer in the world to claim the U.S. Women's Open title. And while that feat alone would be worthy of a story, it's the celebration and after party that followed her victory that has us, well, pretty excited.

Like most 24-year-olds would have done after winning anything, Wie got together with a couple of friends and they partied their asses off. We're talking filling the trophy with beer and chugging it, rap music and, of course, twerking.



Wow. I think we're in the majority when we say we hope she wins her next twenty majors.

Several epic pictures made the rounds on Instagram as well before they were unfortunately deleted. But thanks to the guys at Deadspin, they'll now live on forever.

Pearl Jam Covers 'Let It Go' From 'Frozen'

Um, I guess this is the moment that Pearl Jam officially goes from cool, legendary '90s rock band icons to your friends who wear dad jeans. During this concert in Milan, Italy, the guys who brought you "Alive" and "Jeremy" transition from a "Daughter" jam session into "Let It Go," that annoyingly inspirational song from "Frozen" that every kid under the age of 8 has memorized. I guess this is a cool little tribute but let's keep something straight here: Pearl Jam has a long way to go before they can challenge this kid's amazing "Let It Go" cover.

I mean, that headline really tells you everything you need to know about this video. Except that it is absolutely hilarious to watch this poor woman get swung around for 30 seconds as she tries desperately to cover up her bare bum in front of a crowd of people who were gathered to watch the circus, not a flying freak show.

Sting Isn't Leaving Any of His $180 Million Fortune to His Kids

So after all these years, it looks like being Stewart Copeland's kid wasn't such a raw deal after all.

According to Barstool Sports, Sting told the Daily Mail in a recent interview that none of his three sons or three daughters will get any of his $180 million fortune when he croaks.

Sting won't leave any of his $180 million to his kids

The former frontman of The Police said he expected his six kids to work and earn their own way, much like he had to as an impoverished kid growing up in England. Plus, he explained there wouldn't be much left to inherit anyway since he still has over one hundred people on his payroll and he is enjoying spending the rest of it.

He did mention, though, that if any of his children fell on hard times or were in trouble, then he would help them out with whatever they needed. But in the meantime, he's enjoying the fact that he has never really had to do that since his kids "have the work ethic that makes them want to succeed on their own merit."

Man Zapped by Stun Gun Pulls Out Barbs and Keeps Driving

Robert Zygarowski's last name is a nightmare, and that's probably what police in New Hampshire and Massachusetts think of him as well after the hell he put them through this weekend.

Man zapped by stun gun pulls out barbs and keeps drivingAccording to Huffington Post, shortly after midnight on Saturday morning in Salem, New Hampshire, Officer Adam Pearson pulled over Zygarowski for what should have been a routine traffic stop. The 52-year-old allegedly became uncooperative, so Pearson zapped him with a stun gun.

But instead of collapsing to the ground like 99.9 percent of the human race, Zygarowski instead ripped out the barbs, assaulted Pearson and sped off in his vehicle. A chase ensued and ended only when Zygarowski blew a tire after he crossed into Massachusetts.

Pearson ordered Zygarowski out of his vehicle, but instead of giving himself up, Zygarowski charged at Pearson and stole his squad car. After driving a short distance, he abandoned the police cruiser and walked into a gas station, where he told the clerk "he had guns and was going to shoot officers." Naturally, his next move was to walk through an IHOP kitchen.

Police finally caught up with Zygarowski on a nearby trail, arrested him and charged him with, well, a bunch of stuff.

Florida Man Busted Hiding Crack in His Butt Crack

And from the looks of things, he was probably able to hide quite a bit of it.

Florida man arrested with crack in his butt crackAccording to UPI, a Florida man was initially stopped by an Indian River County Sheriff's Deputy last week for having illegal window tints on his Mercury. But after the way things quickly spiraled out of control, we're pretty sure the illegal window tints are the least of his worries.

That's because police say 37-year-old Henry Chambliss not only gave them the fake name of "Kevin Holloway" when they asked for identification, but he was also driving with a license that was "no good."

And the party didn't stop there.

Once Chambliss gave police his real name, they discovered he also had a warrant out for violating his probation. A search of his crappy car then turned up crack rocks and a soda can that was being used as a crack pipe, which Chambliss said was "most likely his wife's."

Upon finding out that he would be X-rayed at the local jail, Chambliss admitted that he also had "a baggie in his butt crack that contained drugs."

Yup. That guy was apparently married.

10 Things That Need to Happen in the Final Season of 'Wilfred'

0

wilfred end is near, wilfred final season
While we couldn't be more excited for the fourth and final season of the FXX comedy "Wilfred" (it's seriously one of the best shows on television), which premieres tomorrow, June 25, we also couldn't be more worried. Over the last three seasons, the show has presented us with way more questions than answers, and we can only hope that most of those lingering threads are wrapped up before the show pulls its final curtain, and perhaps the rug right out from underneath us altogether. That being said, here are the top 10 events that need to transpire on "Wilfred" in order to reach a satisfying conclusion. (WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD)

We Must Learn the True Origin of the Drawing
With the way Season 3 ended - Ryan discovering the cryptic symbol that he found underneath the blue barn of his childhood drawing, which he found out was actually drawn by his sister Kristen, on an envelope in his dead father's office which then led to an address containwilfred, wilfred the drawinging the ruins of a statue depicting Wilfred in the middle of nowhere (yeah, it's a bit complicated) - you'd think we'd be much more interested in everything we just mentioned other than the actual drawing. However, we've come to know Wilfred's conniving ways very well through the years, and everything besides Kristen admitting to drawing the picture when she was young could have easily been planted to mess with Ryan's head. How did Kristen draw Wilfred years before Ryan ever met him, especially since she doesn't even know that is how Ryan sees him? Also, why does she refer to him as "Mr. Floppy Ears"?

Ryan and Jenna Need to Finally Hook Up, or Think of a Damn Good Reason Not To
Much like the Jim and Pam stuff on the American version of "The Office," the "will they?/won't they?" story lines start to get a bit tedious by around the fourth season, which is why this is the perfect time for big things to happen in the Ryan and Jenna romantic relationship. Sure, the pair finally shared a kiss in the second to last episode of the season last year, causing its share of drama, but it was more or less resolved by the finale. If this show isn't finally going to bring the two together, they'd better come up with a viable reason why not. Which leads us to ...

Ryan Has to Admit to Jenna That He Is Insane
In the final episode last season, it was revealed that at least Ryan's father Henry was onto his mental illness (which we're assuming is why Ryan sees and interacts with Wilfred the way he does). But alas, Henry took a spill down a flight of stairs during a confrontation between Ryan and wilfred, ryan and jennaWilfred, resulting in his death. So we are back to square one as far as anyone knowing Ryan's horrible secret. We figure if he's ever going to tell anyone what is really going on with him, it should be Jenna. After all, if the two don't end up shacking up, it would be understandable and satisfying if this was the reason why. While we'd love to think Jenna would simply accept him for he is, she doesn't have that great of a track record in that regard thus far, so we'd have to assume the worst here, as well.

Drew Has to Make His (Dramatic) Exit
The addition of actor Chris Klein as Jenna's dumb jock boyfriend Drew was perhaps one of the best moves the series has ever made. Besides Wilfred himself, Drew is easily the funniest character on the show, often unbeknownst to himself ("devagification," anyone?). But like all boyfriends of the lead female whom the lead male has a crush on, it's only a matter of time before something goes haywire and results in a breakup. Considering Wilfred implied to Ryan at the end of last season's "Stagnation" that he secretly inseminated Ryan's former roommate Anne with Drew's baby without either of their knowledge, that could easily become the throwaway joke that comes back to be Drew's demise. Here's hoping he at least goes out in a blaze of glory.

Bruce McCombs Needs His Purpose Revealed
OK, so when we made that whole Drew being the second funniest character on the show comment, we forgot about Bruce, played masterfully by singer Dwight Yoakam. At the same time, he and Drew are funny for very different reasons. In the case of Bruce, he is supposedly a manwilfred, wilfred bruce who was in a very similar situation as Ryan years ago, only to have Wilfred ruin his life. Yet at the same time, as the series has progressed, we've come to notice that we can never quite tell exactly whose side he's really on. For that matter, does he even exist, or is he just another side of Ryan's personality manifested? We know Bruce will have to come back at least one more time since he's appeared in every season from the jump, so it's high time we were told exactly what role he plays in the grand scheme of things.

Mommy Issues Resolved
In last year's finale, we at least got to see Ryan's relationship with his father wrapped up to a certain extent, as he realized upon his death that perhaps Henry wasn't such a bad guy after all, despite what Wilfred had continually led him to believe. But with his passing went the only person who seemed legitimately concerned for Ryan's mental well-being. Since Henry was also the only one actively trying to prevent Ryan from suffering the same fate as his institutionalized mother Catherine, will his seemingly inherited traits finally get the best of him? Or will he be able to somehow learn through his mother how to prevent himself from going off the rails permanently?

Wilfred's Intuition Coming to a Head
At the end of the amazing Season 2 episode "Truth," Wilfred reveals that even though several disturbing and/or devastating events took place during the episode (namely, an earthquake, the return of Bruce, and Ryan breaking up with his girlfriend Amanda), his intuition concerning something terrible on the horizon was still none of these happenings. As impactful of an ending as that was, as far as we can recall, it was never spoken of again. Promos for the latest season seem to hint at the revival of the storyline, so we're hoping whatever this game-changer is ties into the finale in a big way. It has to, right?

Ryan Needs to See Wilfred as a Real Dog
Of all the things that could transpire in the end, we believe this is the one that everyone has been waiting for most intently since the beginning. We all know that Wilfred is an actual dog and not a man in a dog suit, so that moment of clarity being revealed will at the very least be a grewilfred calvin and hobbes mashupat visual. After all, we don't even have a clue what kind of dog Wilfred is. For that matter, neither does Ryan. The show came close to revealing his true form to us in last season's finale, but instead, the surveillance footage Henry had secretly been taking of Ryan interacting with Wilfred in private was still shown from Ryan's perspective, keeping us on edge for just a bit longer.

A Happy Ending
From what we understand of the original Australian version of "Wilfred," it was a much different show tonally than the U.S. version. On their side, Wilfred was actually painted as a much darker, twisted character who didn't necessarily have his friend's best interest in mind. That being said (and you can ruin the specifics for yourself here if you'd like), that series ended in a way that wouldn't work for the American version, as we feel anything less than an optimistic sendoff would be against everything the tone of this show has build towards. We don't want to see Ryan institutionalized, nor do we really want anything bad to happen to him (or Wilfred) at all. Let's keep it light so we can one day look back fondly on this series as such.

We Get a Solid Answer as to What Wilfred Is
There is nothing more polarizing than an open ending. Just ask David Chase. While an "interpret it yourself" finale can work to an extent with certain types of stories, this is not the case with "Wilfred." True fans are going to want an actual conclusion by the time the show cuts to its title card for the last time. Don't leave it up to us to figure out what it all meant. If we wanted that, we could have just stopped watching after the pilot episode. Besides, think about how irritated you'd be if a friend said something to you along the lines of, "I was walking in the subway the other night and a man approached me with a knife," but then refused to tell you what happened from there. We've stuck around to see this show through until the end, so don't leave us hanging. Is he truly a dog? An alien? Some sort of trickster? Whatever the case, just pick one and stick to your guns. There's been enough ambiguity by now. It's time for some closure.

Bonus Random Guess as to How the Series Will End: It is revealed that the whole show was actually what was going on in Wilfred's head, not Ryan's. With Wilfred being just your average dog, he was forced to watch, yet unable to prevent, his neighbor and best friend from slowly develop split personalities. As a coping mechanism, Wilfred simply projected himself onto the second personality Ryan had developed after trying to kill himself in the pilot. Therefore, everything Wilfred did throughout the series (minus the dog behavior parts) was actually just a manifestation of Ryan's darker side.

Give us your take on how you think the "Wilfred" swan song will go down in the comments below, and be sure to catch the Season 4 premiere Wednesday, June 25 at 10/9c on FXX.
