There something awfully familiar about the debut trailer for Ted, especially for fans of the Fox animated sitcom Family Guy. Perhaps it's the random jokes that surround the loose plot of a Boston man (Mark Wahlberg) who can't quite grow up despite falling in love with his dream girl (Mila Kunis). Or, more likely, it's the voice of Wahlberg's walking, talking teddy bear Ted, which sounds eerily similar to Family Guy's patriarch Peter Griffin. Of course, that's because Ted is voiced by Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, who also co-wrote and directed the movie.
Ted seems almost directly targeted to Family Guy fans, which could be a good or bad thing depending on your appreciation of the show. There is one important distinction, however. The debut trailer is decidedly red band and, therefore, very NSFW, which could be MacFarlane's way of saying his directorial debut won't simply be Family Guy on the big screen... Or his way of saying "this movie is funny because it has a foul-mouthed, pot-smoking teddy bear in it." You be the judge, but be warned about the trailer's liberal use of the f-bomb.

Photogs reportedly went crazy on Sunday taking pics of a blonde in a black hoodie and aviator sunglasses coming out of the Mercer Hotel hoping to get a shot of Lindsay Lohan. The New York Post says that lady in question was not the 25-year-old Lohan, but instead the 66-year-old Blondie lead singer Debbie Harry. It sounds like it might be time for LiLo to consider a new look.

In things-we'd-rather-didn't-exist news, TMZ is reporting that a sex tape featuring Hulk Hogan is being shopped around. The Hulk's lawyer has responded to the story, issuing a statement that declares that the tape was filmed without permission and that the wrestler is "appalled at the unauthorized release of a secretly filmed video."

Mila Kunis revealed to Harper's Bazaar that her body hasn't been the same since after getting down to 95 pounds for her role in Black Swan. The actress contends that the weight that left her chest relocated to her hips and stomach later, though the photos that the magazine ran along with the interview do little to give her story much credit. Additionally, Kunis had a great tip for other young actresses out there. When asked how she prevents naked photos of herself from being leaked, she replied "Well, I don't send naked photos."

Paula Deen and her brother Bubba are being sued for harassment. A former manager of Uncle Bubba's Seafood and Oyster House is alleging that Earl W. "Bubba" Hiers was "physically threatening and universally humiliating" and frequented pornography websites on the kitchen computer, and Deen herself is accused of making racist jokes. While angry owners and questionable jokes can be fairly common in the restaurant business, keeping a computer in a busy working kitchen is highly surprising. Deen's attorneys responded to the allegations with a statement saying, "We investigated those claims and attempted unsuccessfully to address those claims with her."

Jessica Simpson has bared her belly — and pretty much everything else — for the new cover of Elle. The singer/fashion mogul also reveals that she is expecting a baby girl, and that she's already decided her baby is going to be athletic like her father. Simpson stated that "Eric is so athletic. We’re gonna have this athletic girl and I won’t even be able to take her shopping." Two things here, Jess. Number one, maybe meet your daughter first before worrying about her not being girly enough. Number two, plenty of female athletes go shopping.

Apparently, the children of celebrities aren't allowed to eat colorful candy. Angelina Jolie was called out on a couple websites for putting lipstick on her 3-year-old daughter, Vivienne, before a recent outing to the movies. The pic that featured the red-lipped tot also showed older sister Shiloh with a handful of red licorice, and anyone who has spent more than five minutes in the company of a kid her age can probably make a more reasonable conclusion about how the young Jolie-Pitt ended up with red lips.

Last week, director Craig Gillespie (Fright Night) recently admitted that his next directorial project, the adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith's 2009 best-selling mash-up novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, would stay "incredibly true" to the book's original author Jane Austen, who wrote the book in 1813 without the presence of the undead. What Gillespie neglected to mention was that he was also planing to leave the project.
Earlier today, Twitch released a report that claimed that Gillespie, the third director to tackle the blending of classic literature and zombies, had decided to leave the movie. Struggles to find the right leading lady have reportedly left the Australian director frustrated. While Lionsgate has denied the report, Twitch is standing by their source and are promising to "look into it further."
