Oscar-winner Jean Dujardin was convicted of driving under the influence after being caught last year while on vacation on the island of Corsica, in the Mediterranean between France and Italy.

Beyond being one of the day's great comedians, Patton Oswalt has shown himself able to speak thoughtfully about difficult subjects. Most recently, a lauded Facebook post of his about the Boston Marathon bombing went viral. It is because of this that some people were disappointed when Oswalt came to the defense of Daniel Tosh last summer after a blogger wrote about an exchange with Tosh in which she interrupted his set to disapprove of his rape joke, only to have him respond with, "Wouldn’t it be funny if that girl got raped by, like, five guys right now?" Oswalt eventually tweeted, "Wow, @danieltosh had to apologize to a self-aggrandizing, idiotic blogger.

[Spoilers ahead.] There are a handful of delightful cameos in This Is the End: Michael Cera, Rihanna, Channing Tatum. But the cameo that closed out the movie belonged to the Backstreet Boys, who lead an "Everybody" dance-along in heaven. How did that scene come about?

"It actually was an off-handed suggestion of our wives, and then Seth [Rogen] just kept bringing it up, and then it kind of snowballed into something that we didn't think could happen, and it did." But that wasn't how the movie was originally going to end. Originally, Goldberg and Seth Rogen wanted the main crew to go to heaven and be greeted by none other than Morgan Freeman. "The whole joke »
