Robert Pattinson is 27 going on 17, good for you RSchmuck, I mean RPutz. Are Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer an item again? Is Jessica Simpson's body still a wonderland? Yes, it's just we are wondering why her territory doubled in size. Is Jay-Z acting like a wild bachelor on the prowl? With a name like Jay-Z I don't think any of us really care. Drake is romancing two cougars? Man, dude's a zookeeper. Does Casper Smart enjoy his five minutes of fame? Is that all he lasts for? Lightweight. Rihanna was recently hospitalized for too much partying. It's ok though, let's keep the focus on Lindsay Lohan, she's white after all. Christina Aguilera is quitting The Voice. John Travolta is not gay, he just like's dudes.

Me too, but it has been quite a while since I was in the womb. Kim K and Lindsay Lohan will attend the White House Correspondent's Dinner. I guess they wanted to see who has the best lines, and I'm not talking about comedy. Jessica Simpson has a baby shower? What is it like 2 feet tall and a tiny water head? Weirdo. Ellen DeGeneres is a Vegan? I thought she ate meat every night! Jenny McCarthy loves Botox. She loves silicon too. Richard Simmons has flammable shorts. Molly Ringwald drinks Kristen Stewart's blood. But alas it's not that time of the month yet. Want to see Taylor Lautner pics? Then go see Breaking Dawn Part 2. Lisa Rinna does advertisements for adult diapers.

Nicole Kidman does not mind being naked. Trust me when I tell you we don't mind either. Ashton Kutcher is having "intercourse" with Mila Kunis.

Seal has a new girlfriend and her name is whatshernameIdon'tcare. Will Pippa Middleton face arrest? Will switching to Progressive really give you better discounts? Taylor Armstrong is "so not ready to date yet". Wait, I don't speak moron, does that mean she wants to date or not? Bow Wow is no longer a wanted man but that doesn't answer the question who let the dogs out?

J-Lo bought Casper Smart a truck for his birthday. Hey, we already know where he likes to park it! Lamar Odom you are fired! Thanks for playing, next time leave the 500lb gorilla at home. Yeah, we are talking to you Kardashian. NBC's Rock Center has coverage more lopsided than Brian Williams' face. Miley Cyrus is not anorexic, she just eats lots of laxatives, get it? LOL? Ann Hathaway's hair is so short she looks like Jerry Seinfeld and there is nothing funny about that. Jennifer Hudson will appear at a murder trial. As a witness or as a defendant? Ah who keeps up with the Kardashians anyway. Khloe Kardashian says Lamar Odom deserved better from the Mavericks. Khloe, try running your fat ass up a basketball court and then you can talk. Is Lindsay Lohan guilty of assault? Only because she attacked my heart. Awwwww. Mila Kunis or Kate Upton? It depends, which one did Justin Timberlake already date? After being arrested for a DUI Amanda Bynes went back to her hotel bar. Maybe it's time she went back to acting because she sure plays a dumbass great in real life.

Cedar Rapids

Cedar Rapids has been on my radar for a long time (since it debuted). The only factors that stopped me from consuming it at first were intuition, logic, and reasoning. My gut is normally correct seeing as how it is too big to fail. Besides, what pundit or movie fan can deny Ed Helms' peculiar yet vibrant magnetism. He is a complete anomaly. Picked from a sitcom ("The Office") in which he is not the most featured actor or character, and implanted into movies such as The Hangover, one never knows precisely what to expect from Mr. Helms. He sings, he dances, prances, wines and dines, but can he pull off a challenging role demanding he stoop to a new low that even he may have difficulty portraying? His wingman John C. Reilly has helped Will Ferrell and Sean William Scott rise to the pinnacle of the comedy-heap and Ed Helms is commensurately as talented and as malleable as those two wildly entertaining fellows. There is only one way to find out the results folks...

Tim Lippe (Helms) has been tasked with attending an insurance agents' seminar/conference in beautiful Cedar Rapids. What do I know about Cedar Rapids? It is the second largest city in Iowa and boasts sundry cultural gems. Many Hollywood actors and athletes have purchased homes there. Yes, I stole those tidbits from Wikipedia! Lippe's arch nemesis at his insurance agency died in a tragic self-asphyxiation accident involving vile sexual deviancy. This imperils his goal of once again taking home the coveted double Diamond award for his firm. His deceased associate's actions are deemed ungodly by his peers.

Traveling ostensibly for the first time beyond his city limits, the Cedar Rapids seminar promises a wild adventure for Tim. For moviegoers the scenery is glib and depressing and seems to approach a new low for cheapness of budget. Everything looks like a cookie cutter version of the archetypal 1970s gaudiness that might otherwise appear in pornographic videos.

The most colorful part of Tim's trip is the people he meets. His two roommates are Dean Ziegler (Reilly), and Ronald Wilkes (Dean Whitlock). Ziegler is loud-mouthed and obnoxious but somehow very loyal and uplifting. He is crushed from the demise of his 17 year marriage. Ronald is sweet and thoroughly boring. Their other longstanding convention pal is the married but aggressively flirtatious Joan (Anne Heche). Joan is fun and upfront but quite the hellcat! Together, they spend their conference days becoming friends and doing some serious bonding. Am I snoring? You can't hear me? Good, no evidence.

As an entirety, Cedar Rapids lacks the sizzle or the oomph necessary to be considered either enjoyable or worthwhile. Ed Helms is talented to be sure and he truly makes a mountain out of a molehill with this pitifully egregious script, but his Herculean effort falls short. Given the low budget afforded to this picture and the vegetative script, he truly is like Sisyphus pushing a boulder up a hill. His role is unwinnable.  I thought based on the fallacious previews that Cedar Rapids would have been an hilarious comedy. It turned out to be a soporific drama that I would like to never see again or write another sentence about.
