You’ve seen the Nicolas Cage 1870s photo, and you’ve read our subsequent overwhelming evidence that Nicolas Cage is a vampire and been like “I thought that was a joke but now I kind of literally believe this because it makes complete sense.”
Last night, Nic Cage appeared on Letterman to finally break his LEGENDARY SILENCE on the topic of his own vampirism, and in the process, just convinced us even further:

Here’s Patrick Stewart and Liam Neeson appearing on The Graham Norton Show for a showdown of eminently likeable veteran UK actors, to be settled the only way a Picard / Qui-Gon battle could be: By figuring out which actor has the cooler action figure.
There’s something extra-amusing about having two highly accomplished serious actors on the same show only to spend the time playing with 10-year-old plastic toys. It’s just surreal that you can all now witness my recurring dream when I was 13 about me and Captain Picard playing with action figures:
Best part of the video? The Patrick Stewart double-face-palm:
FebruaryNEW COUPLE ALERT: Here’s Broadway veteran Kristin Chenowith and talking-to-babies veteran Elmo kissing at at a theater benefit in Manhattan last night:
Whoahoa, RACY! Hard to tell, but was there tongue involved? Or at least, that pink sewed-on Muppet flap that kind of looks like a tongue? Either way, if this couple is for real (Krelmo? Elmstin? Are people still combining couple names? Elmobrangelina?), they’ll give Macy/Huffman a run for Most Universally Likeable Couple.
This shocking gossip-development has been brought to you by the letters O, M, F, and G. And the number 5. (It’s just a cool number).
FebruaryDavid Glendon, an actor in Kilkenny, Ireland, just earned himself a trip to the Oscars by winning a local bar’s George Clooney Lookalike Contest. Just take one look at him from across the room while squinting and you can definitely see why:
HE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE CLOONS!!!!!!!! Are we SURE this pic is undoctored?? They have to be twins. Are we POSITIVE they’re not twins? I demand a DNA test.
Alright, fine, so maybe he doesn’t look ‘exactly’ like George Clooney, but it makes sense when you see the runners-up:
Still not convinced? Then just try to pick out the real George Clooney in this photo:
JanuaryHere’s Nicolas Cage being introduced to his new wax statue at the Grevin wax museum in Paris to continue promoting the movie where he literally pees fire (or at least, his most recent movie where he does).
The statue is so accurate right down to its totally ambivalent expression, directors have already started offering it roles in random January action movies. If Nicolas Cage’s wax statue turns down a project, don’t worry, you can always get Nicolas Cage.

Here’s Kristen Bell appearing on Ellen to retell the story of her recent birthday gift, when her husband Dax Shepard surprised her with a sloth (her favorite animal) and prepared to film her reaction, but she completely broke down crying with happiness before even seeing the sloth.
The story is pretty adorable (at least, as adorable as us non-sloths can be), and the clip of Kristen Bell completely going out of her mind at 1:57 is hilarious, mostly because it’s the exact same reaction I had when I heard the sloth squeak in this video.
Let he who would not also lose his sh*t like this in the presence of a sloth cast the first sloth:

Seal and Heidi Klum were spotted at LAX today, and as various paparazzi approached the newly-divorcing couple, Seal reportedly “got irritated at the videographer” and “swung at the camera man” and knocked his camera to the ground. The ‘attacked’ cameraman managed to take the photo above (courtesy Splash News).
However, we at BWE have EXCLUSIVELY obtained a video from a third-party source of Seal attacking the cameraman in Los Angeles. Watch the shocking video after the jump:

According to TMZ, Mel Gibson is back in criminal court, only this time, it’s not something DUI / Racist / BJ / Racist Drunken BJ related – he’s just showing up for Jury Duty! What an honest, respectable citizen in every way as far as I can recall.
I imagine the Mel Gibson jury selection process would go something like this:
Court Official: Name?
Mel Gibson: Mel G-
Court Official: You’ve been discharged.
No word on whether Gibson was actually called for Jury Duty or if he’s just prepping for his role in this long-awaited reboot:
JanuaryNicolas Cage, our favorite celebrity of 2011, continued his streak of being aloof and inexplicably hilarious whenever he does anything by appearing in Berlin to promote the release of Ghost Rider: The Spirit Of Literally Pissing Fire.
Aspiring movie stars take note – this is how you get people PSYCHED FOR YOUR MOVIE:
STILL NOT CONVINCED? Then check out Nic Cage slightly clapping:
