Could we maybe stop asking the crowd to sing at concerts? We came to hear the artist, not ourselves. Watch the video for more. You're welcome.

Kristen Bell stars in what has to be one of the most unintentionally creepy romantic-comedies of recent memory.  In When in Rome she plays Beth, a young and single curator at the prestigious Guggenheim Museumin New York.   Frustrated while at her younger sister’s romantic Rome wedding, she drunkenly steals five coins from a “fountain of love.”  Unbeknownst to her, this disrupts the cupid-like power of the fountain and instead makes her the romantic focal point of each coin’s original owner.  Each “coin toss-er” is compulsively and uncontrollable drawn to her; madly in love with a someone who has no interest in them whatsoever.  Beth spends the remainder of the film trying to dodge their unwanted advances while landing the man of her dreams.  That’s right folks…stalking is now cute.

You have no idea how much it means to us that you've come back for another week of The Toast. Here's what's gone down lately in Hollywood:

This Is It

Perhaps it easiest to start by describing what This Is It, the new Michael Jackson concert film, is NOT, rather than by describing what it is.  It’s not an expose nor is it an apology or an attempt to expunge the national consciousness of his alleged crimes.  In fact, it’s not about Michael Jackson “the man” at all.  It is, instead, exactly what it purports to be: a concert film hobbled to together out of rehearsal footage for what was to be his final concert tour (though how many times have artists claimed that?).  Directed by Kenny Ortega, Jackson’s long time choreographer and concert director, the film astutely avoids any mention of Jackson’s personal life, legal troubles or financial woes.  He spares us the sycophantic ramblings of celebrities and hangers-on.  We do get a bit of effusive praise from his dancers but, having been presumably recorded before his death: it feels much more genuine than any of the posthumous award show testimonials from people that had largely shunned him in his later years.

Reason #728 why Pat Robertson needs to retire: The 700 Club host has suggested the earthquake in Haiti is the result of a pact the Haitian people made with Satan. No, seriously.
