Remember the loony Saturday Night Live commercial parody about male infantile baldness, and the new market for baby toupees? Well, now there is a company selling celebrity wigs for the non-walking set. Yes, your baby can have hair like Donald Trump or Samuel L. Jackson - or L'il Kim or Bob Marley. Hey, what about "The Rachel" - Jennifer Aniston's hair circa 1995-1996? Clearly this is perfect for Halloween, or really wanting to spook people who haven't seen the baby in a whlie. In the meantime, we'll await conspiracy theories that baby Suri Cruise was wearing a wig. more ›

. Hopefully it will be as cheese-tastic as it seems from the trailers and the title. However, whether you're first in line tonight at a midnight screening or not, there's still loads coming up to see at the movies. more ›

With the vice president shooting people in the face and everyone still getting over their chocolate hang over from Valentine's Day, this week it's hard not to feel a general malaise and slight discomfort about the new releases line up.

The stabbing brawl that occured in a men's bathroom during Sunday's New York Jets game was actually sparked by the Jets' terrible playing. The Post reports that Thomas Conwell saw Shawn Hundley wearing a Chad Penninton jersey, so Conwell told him he was a "f---ing p--sy" for wearing it. Pennington was injured last season, and then again at the beginning of this season! He's like the Samuel L. Jackson character in Unbreakable! The two men fought over Chad's honor/disgrace outside the restroom, with Conwell slashing Hundley as well as a bystander who tried to break up the fight. Conwell has a history of arrests, including one for being a part of a gang attack, but his girlfriend says that he was acting in self-defense. Hey, Gothamist isn't happy with the Jets this season this year, but football games are brutal. We almost got into a fight in the beer line at a Jets pre-season game, teaching us never ever to leave our seats and not to drink anything so we wouldn't have to use the bathroom. more ›

Writing sketch comedy is not an easy skill. Appealing to a wide audience, writing a good ending for each sketch, and rehearsing your material are not always taken into consideration. Which is why Gothamist loved the new sketch show The Incorrigible Mr. J, now up at the PIT [154 w. 29th Street]. Matt Donnelly, Rebekka Johnson and Jim Festante of the improv group Possible Side Effects, have created a world where reclusive hermits, “dynamic choreography”, and Samuel L. Jackson all cleverly intersect. The Incorrigible Mr. J. - Fridays in October at 7pm - $5 more ›

The next Pixar animated film, The Incredibles, has been eagerly anticipated since the teaser was shown before Finding Nemo this summer. You can see the teaser, but there's also a new John Ratzenberger introduced "Making of" preview of sorts online. (What's with John Ratzenberger, he's like a studio player for Pixar these days? Will the Pig be in The Incredibles?) Cool things Gothamist didn't realize: Holly Hunter, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jason Lee provide voices, in addition to Craig T. "Coach" Nelson as the head Incredible. more ›
