This is a threat not even the CIA can stop.

What are we talking about? The addictively angelic vocal cords of My Morning Jacket's Jim James, of course.

The singer gains an animated fan when government agent Stan Smith becomes obsessed with James' band on an episode of Seth MacFarlane's American Dad!, airing Sunday, Nov. 22. And in this exclusive clip, we show you the depths to which one man will go to protect his favorite band.

God help Stan when he finds out James has been moonlighting in the Monsters of Folk.

We've got your number, Jason Segel. Now if we could just get the image of your naked body out of our brains, we'd be set.

The multitalented How I Met Your Mother star popped up at the show by the Swell Season—the Oscar-winning duo from the film Once—at Los Angeles' Wiltern Theater last night. He came in hopes of charming one (or more!) of the band's fans with a new song he'd written just for the occasion about love, sex and his FX-free penis.

Sample lyric: "Remember when I showed my penis in Forgetting Sarah Marshall/Well, there were no special effects, no no special effects/So if you like what you saw, it's exactly what I'm working with."

We have no idea if the come-on worked, but if it did, we're pretty sure he'll write a song about it.

The gods must be crazy.

And who can blame them? This pure sensory overload trailer is enough to make anyone crazy: scorpion-like monsters, brutal carnage and so many quick cuts you'd think they used one of the swords to edit the damn thing. Not to mention it's got the heaviest soundtrack since This Is Spinal Tap.

In this redo of the 1981 campfest Clash of the Titans, Sam Worthington plays Perseus, the half-divine son of Liam Neeson's Zeus who's on a gamer mission that finds him leaping into the underworld of Hades, played by Ralph Fiennes.

Depending on your cinematic needs, this could be the best thing since 300 or the worst rip on it. What say you? Does this preview honor the gods of Olympus—or just look like hell?

Siblings are always fighting over stuff.

Even the wife and kids.

In the trailer for Brothers, Jake Gyllenhaal consoles the grieving Natalie Portman and her children following the supposed death of Jake's brother, Tobey Maguire. There's just one little problem with this, which the trailer isn't shy about revealing: Tobey's not dead.

Call this a different kind of family film. Think you'll see it?

Call it a buddy tragedy.

Fresh off comedy with The Ugly Truth and the upcoming The Bounty with Jennifer Aniston, Gerard Butler has agreed to star in Ralph Fiennes' adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedy Coriolanus, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

As you may remember from the SparkNotes, the play follows the exploits of a prideful Roman war hero (Fiennes) who turns against his own people with the aid of his former foe, to be played by Butler.

Bloodshed and iambic pentameter ensue. (Spoiler alert: Shakespeare's tragedies generally don't end well for the leads.)

According to the trade, Fiennes' first foray into film directing will update the 1608 play with a contemporary setting, though presumably with the original language more or less intact.

Because if you mess with Shakespeare's poetry, that would be a real tragedy.

It's all about the dagger, see?

In The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Jake Gyllenhaal must team up with a beautiful princess to battle an evil dude who has unleashed the sands of time, and the only way to do it is to use a dagger that can control time.

There's more, but pretty much all anyone cares about is whether a long-locked Jake looks good with his shirt off (he does!) and whether the rousing CG-enhanced adventures look like good fun (not sure!). People yell, things crash, and Jake and his costar bicker and banter before (we imagine) falling in love.

Based on a venerable video game, the trailer makes the film seems a little bit The Mummy, a little bit Raiders of the Lost Ark and a little bit The Bourne Identity, which should be a good thing. Based on this one trailer, though, we aren't convinced.

How about you? Is this something you'd want to see? Sound off, people.

New York's most valuable player? With all due respect to Derek Jeter, we're going with Jay-Z for trying to psych out the Phillies with a performance totally supportive of the home team.

The Yankees lost Game 1 of the World Series, so what better way to rouse the team than Hova's single "Empire State of Mind" featuring Alicia Keys. One of the best songs on The Blueprint 3, it's as iconic as Frank Sinatra's version of "New York, New York."

Seriously, with an opening act like him, the Yankees have no excuses for losing (not that they had one anyway with their expensive roster).

Even with bad sound we're pretty sure Jay-Z was happy to stick it to the Phillies. Which is probably why he didn't do "Run This Town" instead.

What's with all the Michael Jackson imitators, people?

We don't mean those smooth criminals posing for pictures out in front of Hollywood's Kodak Theatre. Those guys have made a commitment. A wrong-headed one, perhaps, but still. It's what they do.

From the looks of things, however, Chris Brown and Miley Cyrus started feeling a little too inspired by This Is It's release this week and began copping some Michael magic—along with their crotches.

What do you think: Sham or Shamone?

Natalie Portman doesn't eat meat, but she likes salty talk.

Seriously. Watch the clip.

In an excellent switcheroo, the cheftestants are invited to cook at Tom Colicchio's Las Vegas steakhouse, only to find that they must prepare a vegetarian meal for Portman, her friends and host Padma Lakshmi, who tops herself in the "silly things Padma says" category this episode.

Remember Portman is seriously vegetarian. This serious. Still, check out what happens when Star Wars' Padmé meets Padma and the judges' critique starts sounding like dialogue from a soft-porn movie.

Trust us, something nasty starts up at the table—and for once it's not the food.

Do they make the grade?

In the upcoming big-screen reboot of The A-Team, it's not just the old van that's getting upgraded.

Playing falsely accused Iraq war vets on the run, Bradley Cooper and Liam Neeson join forces with District 9's Sharlto Copley and mixed martial artist Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, who takes on the role originally played by the one and only Mr. T.

We planned to pity the fool who tried to replace Mr. T, before realizing Rampage could probably unleash a death kick through the Internet. So let's just say we think he's gonna win an Oscar and leave it at that. Make that three Oscars and a Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. Gulp.

Besides looking like they're being a bit literal with the remake—including everything from the Mohawk to Hannibal's cigars—our only beef is that Jessica Biel, who plays the officer tasked with catching these guys, ought to be in the photo, don't you think?

In the movies, Tom Cruise defines excellence.

Whether he's playing an auto racer, fighter pilot or profane movie executive, he's simply the best.

So you gotta believe Cruise is going to be looking for the most awesome potential jack-o'-lantern there is for his Halloween honeys Katie Holmes and daughter Suri, right?

Or...maybe he'll just get whichever one Suri picks. Hard to say.

But if you're like us, you enjoy looking at celebs as they choose large orange gourds, so let's get to it, shall we?

Caddyshack, Happy Gilmore…Missing Links?

Even if you don't spend all your time watching the Golf Channel, you still have to be pleased Steve Carell has decided to make a comedy set in the world of golf, according to the Hollywood Reporter's Risky Business blog.

Why? Because as those other movies prove, golf can be really, really funny. (The Legend of Bagger Vance, notwithstanding).

Based on a novel by ESPN's Rick Reilly, Missing Links features a foursome who conspire to graduate from their shoddy municipal course—one in which an elevated train passes through—to play at a fancy-shmancy local club nearby. Hijinks, we imagine, ensue.

Can't wait to see who accidentally gets hit in the groin first.
