Melissa McCarthy's onscreen characters may poop in sinks and buy rounds of drinks with a stolen credit card, but she ain't gonna stand back and watch somebody abuse a child in real life.

The star of 2013's first big hit, "Identity Thief," reportedly fired a woman from the set of her new film on Monday after watching her hoist a young child in the air by the wrist. Get More »

Mashup: 'Anchorman' and 'Thrift Shop' Meet For Smooth, Babymaking Glory

So, sure, all mashups we put up on NextMovie have an element of fun to them, but we admit that there are other supercuts and juxtapositions worthy of our attention out there. This is one of those transcendent mashups, and we can thank the smooth, dulcet sounds of Ron Burgundy and Macklemore for that. (Actually we can thank whoever flawlessly edited this video, but still.)

Steve Carell Loves 'Anchorman 2' Almost As Much As He Loves Lamp

Great news, "Anchorman" fans: You're really gonna like "Anchorman: The Legend Continues."

MTV News' Josh Horowitz caught up with funnyman and "Anchorman" supporting cast member Steve Carell on the red carpet last night at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards and quizzed him about the upcoming flick. Carell, who's filming the follow-up right this very minute, delivered the good word.

"It's pretty good," Carell told Horowitz. "If you like the first 'Anchorman,' you will like or love this movie."

Sounds like the lols-to-ticket-cost ratio is going to come out highly in your favor, moviegoer!

"Man, it's funny," Carell said. "It's really funny."

Sounds like he loves it just about as much as he loves lamp.

"Anchorman: The Legend Continues" is due out in theaters on December 20.

Nicole Kidman Will Make a Classy Cameo in 'Anchorman 2'

Starring in a remake of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" may have been a bad choice, but appearing in "Anchorman: The Legend Continues" ... never!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Nicole Kidman just shot an uncredited cameo for the much anticipated "Anchorman" sequel, with the details of her role being kept under wraps. This certainly isn't the first time the typically serious actress has given a go at some funny business, as she also had an uncredited part in Adam Sandler's 2011 comedy, "Just Go With It."

Kidman makes for just one of many other surprise players in the "Anchorman" sequel, including Kristen Wiig, Harrison Ford and Greg Kinnear. THR also reports that Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson are likely to be making comebacks as Ron Burgundy's rival anchors from the evening news. Get More »

Taylor Swift Meets Ron Burgundy

It was the meme heard round the world: Taylor Swift and the yelling goat. The unexpected mashup of the pop princess and a petting zoo staple went viral immediately, inspiring an endless supply of similar endeavors. The yelling goat got down with Usher, Jay-Z, and Bon Jovi, but now movie buffs can celebrate the meme with a new twist: "Anchorman"!

In the video you never knew you wanted (but thank goodness it happened), Taylor knew Ron Burgundy was trouble when he walked in. Will Ferrell's pouty, pompous evening news anchor gets thrown into the mix when "Trouble" is intercut with a scene where, instead of yelling like a goat, he's crying like a baby. But you would, too, if Jack Black drop-kicked your dog (best scene ever).

Now let's hear him do "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together."

9 Glorious Moments Where Sports Mimicked the Movies

Happy Gilmore Sony

As we all know, there are film fans everywhere, even (especially?) in the world of sports. That works out well, since athletes are granted a public forum with which to showcase their movie fandom that maybe, say, systems analysts or accountants are not. (Sorry, systems analysts and accountants.)

But while athletes (or coaches) paying homage to their favorite films is nothing that's necessarily new, those instances have come in varying degrees of devotion. Here, we have nine memorable cases of sports mimicking movies, either in front of the camera or on the field. Get More »

12 Campaign Posters for Movie Characters

Will Ferrell in "The Campaign" Warner Bros.

As the 2012 presidential election quickly approaches (tomorrow! eek!), Americans must carefully analyze each candidate's policies and personalities to determine who they want to lead the country for the next four years.

And then there's the funnier — but not any less absurd — election at the center of "The Campaign," a new political satire pitting Will Ferrell's charismatic, gaffe-prone incumbent against Zach Galifianakis's Washington outsider in a North Carolina congressional race.

We're not sure we'd vote for either of these guys in real life, but you know who we would vote for? Yoda. And The Dude. And after "The Avengers," Hulk would most definitely get our endorsement.

So we asked old friend Old Red Jalopy to get the ball rolling and mock up some campaign posters for some of movie favorites. Get More »
