In its illustrious seven-episode run, Zach Galifianakis web series "Between Two Ferns":http://www.funnyordie.com/between_two_ferns/videos has played host to everyone from Michael Cera to Jon Hamm, Charlize Theron to Natalie Portman. The latest episode finds Galifianakis getting awkward with new Tonight Show host, Conan O'Brien. As usual, things get pretty uncomfortable pretty fast. But hey, nothing says "good morning" like jokes about Smurfs and sweating, right?

Viola Davis, who first earned mainstream attention after an Oscar nod for her supporting role in last year's Doubt, appears to be pursuing a career in psychiatry. That, or she's just working really hard at getting type-cast.

Expect some changes in Zach Galifianakis' career. The mostly-comedic actor is set to play a more dramatic, meatier role in It's Kind of a Funny Story, due to begin shooting later this year.

Ugh. It's the morning after a holiday. Don't you just want to go back to bed? Yep, us too. But! If you're stuck at work, what better way to spend it than by watching Zach Galifianakis and Charlize Theron being incredibly awkward? On the latest episode of Galifianakis' FunnyOrDie.com talk show, Between Two Ferns, the bearded star of The Hangover talks with the not-so-bearded star of The Road about the movies she hasn't been in, where she keeps her Oscar statue and jumping into naked pools. As usual, words don't do it justice, so:

Paste favorite Zach Galifianakis recently signed on to be a part of Jay Roach's latest film, Dinner for Schmucks (due out in July of 2010).

There's a stage in the metamorphosis of the butterfly called the "pupa" where the caterpillar nestles inside a hardened shell as it begins its transformation. Usually, the pupa stage lasts no longer than a month. Every now and then, though, we see curious cases of organisms bucking evolutionary trends. Take Michael Cera, who's been trapped in a man-boy cocoon of his own devising in the six years since he emerged as the endearingly awkward George Michael on Arrested Development.

Todd Phillips, director of The Hangover, has nabbed Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis to star in Due Date, a comedy about a man on a road trip to the birth of his first child.

Out of the many projects Zach Galifianakis has his hands on, the independent dark comedy Visioneers may be the one that has us most bursting with expectations, though we're not nearly as likely to combust as George Washington Winsterhammerman. Galifianakis' office-toiling character fears he will become a victim of the stress-induced explosions that plague the Jeffers Corporation. After premiering in June 2008 and subsequently making the festival rounds, the film is now offering fans the opportunity to host their own screening Which is to say, "Show Us Your Tunts!"

Three Men and a Groom in Vegas

Anticipating the headache described in its title, I wasn’t looking forward to The Hangover, a raucous guys-in-Vegas, party-outta-control movie with a plot lifted from that influential modern American work of art, Dude, Where’s My Car? Here come the shrill, controlling, humorless girlfriends, the obnoxious boozing of boys who will be boys, and—yikes—a bundle of joy that could turn the whole stupid thing into 4 Men and a Baby. Dude, where’s my self respect? And if we can’t find that, how about a barf bag?
