You can defy gravity, but not coronavirus.

The co-creator of the Minions on his new movie, writing Batman comics, and what it’s like to have your characters turned into a Twinkee.

It’s a Minion world, and we’re all just living in it. The little pill-shaped yellow critters have left an indelible imprint on the cultural mainstream, for better (footage not found) or for worse (try googling “minions memes,” I dare you). Kids and adults alike have latched onto the phenomenon with an uncommon enthusiasm, and now the numbers reflect the totality with which the Despicable Me universe has permeated modern life. In the seven brief years since Illumination Entertainment loosed the original Despicable Me on an innocent populace, the franchise has grown into the largest of its kind — the highest-grossing animated franchise of all time.

It’s not guaranteed, but there’s a legitimate chance that when all is said and done that Despicable Me 3 reigns supreme as the top-grossing movie of the 2017 summer box office. The previous sequels, plus the Minions spinoff, have grossed more than $2.6 billion worldwide, and each of the last two made well over $300 million in the United States alone. Despicable Me 3 looks like it will offer plenty of what fans of the series crave: Those goofy gibberish-spouting Minions, wacky misadventures, and plenty of Steve Carell’s lovably evil Gru, plus now he’s got a twin brother (or, as he calls him, “a tween broothur”) to contend with as well.

Trapped inside by today’s massive snowstorm? There’s a silver lining: Now you have time to watch the new Despicable Me 3 trailer 8,000 times.

If the Oscars are like the electoral college, selecting the cream of the crop through an arcane and confusing process available only to an older, white, male elite population, then that makes the People’s Choice Awards the popular vote...

MINIONS CAKE POPS

In my heart she will always be America’s sweetheart and I have what are probably unrealistic expectations about living the fairy tale! But sadly, a moving truck

You would think since I'm in the music/entertainment industry that I would see just about every movie that comes out.

If you saw the Minions movie then you remember the Fart Blaster that they invented.

This is just wild. Apparently a 21-year-old was found dead in Demi Moore’s pool yesterday and it’s not what you think.

Have I ever mentioned that I can’t stand Gwyneth Paltrow? I think she’s a sanctimonious witch and is so far out of touch with reality she must live on the moon.
