The New Les Miserables Trailer Has Us Wondering If We Shouldn’t Be Worried About Russell Crowe

We know we’ve been on the Anne Hathaway tip for awhile now (That hair! That sweater! Dem teeth!) but we especially felt protective of the lady when some would-be fans and critics started ragging on her about her vocals from the Les Miserables trailer. (We all saw the featurette! They sing those songs live in order that their voices break with emotion like that!) We especially want to rep Hathaway now that we got a taste of Russell Crowe‘s singing in the new Les Miz trailer that dropped today. It’s noticeably different than say, Hugh Jackman‘s or Amanda Seyfried‘s pipes. It’s not Pierce Brosnan in Mama Mia! bad…but it’s questionable at best.
Luckily the new trailer also has some delicious shots of Sacha Baron Cohen and Helen Bonham Carter as the fabulously greasy Thenadiers, so there’s a lot to love. And really, we love Russell Crowe too! We’ve had a crush on him since Gladiator, his beard looks great and we want to make-out with that giant hat he gets to wear. We just might not love his shout-singing as much as some other performer’s vocal contributions. Like, say, one Ms. Anne Hathaway’s, for example. Anne Hathaway is going to blow everyone way as Fantine! Mark our words!

Oppa Gangnam Style ala Wolverine

How Kyot

Here’s A Quick Way To Make Hugh Jackman As Jean Valjean Even Better

Hugh Jackman tweeted this “official” first look as Jean Valjean in the Les Miserables movie musical today. 

Here he is in prisoner mode, or, as my ancestors would call it, going to tuck a note into the Wailing Wall mode:



MMM if we’re going to rate the success of the film on how intensely Hugh Jackman can furrow his brows, producers better prep for millions of dirty, TB-ridden francs so start rollin in. The only… only… way we could possibly see Jackman upping the authenticity of the character? 

STEP 1: Add Wolverine Claws.

He doesn’t even need to lift the runaway cart, he could just tear that sh*t up with his claws you guys.

5 Things Wrong With This Photo Of Hugh Jackman As Jean Valjean

5. The Star Wars Attire. Obi-Wan Day More Kenobi over here. 

4. The Location Of The Dog Waste Bin. Hugh Jackman is arguably the biggest star this movie has, now that Taylor Swift is out of the picture. (lol?) So excuse me if I seem inappropriately outraged but HOW DARE THEY put the doggie sh*t basket so close to the door of our dear Hugh?

3. Uggs. Now, I’m no Les Mis expert but, if memory serves, I don’t belieeeeve Jean Valjean’s feet have ever know the sheepskin luxury that is the inside of a man’s Ugg boot. Am I wrong? Because if I am, and he does show up on stage to face off with Javert while looking like a University of Arizona sophomore, then by all means, let me know.

2. The Hair. Very Arcade Fire. Not the mangled homeless hay patch it should be. 

1. The Coffee. If only the real fictional Jean Valjean could have dipped even just a piece of his stale stolen bread in a Starbucks skim cappu, the story would have been completely different. (“I Creamed A Cream,” “Bring Him Foam,” etc.)

Life's a Beach With Hugh Jackman

Recently, Hugh Jackman went to the beach in his native Sydney, Australia, where he reminded the world that he is a beautiful slab of meat atop which is perched an impossibly handsome face that just makes you want to give up everything so that, one day, you, too, could be the guy’s beach buddy and things would just progress from there.

Sorry, what? Got lost there for a second.

Anyway, here’s what life would be like if it were perfect, and you got to spend the day with Hugh Jackman at the beach. Man oh man, that guy really doesn’t like to wear shirts, huh?
