Olivia Wilde warns of 'terrifying' future under President Palin in new MoveOn video

Olivia Wilde has seen the future, and if you don't vote, it's "terrifying."

The stunning "House" star gets political in a new video for MoveOn.org called "Back From the Future," aimed at increasing voter turnout by showing what will happen if Democrats don't hit the polls.

It starts with a mock newscast to show just how bad things have gotten in the future.

"Pamela Anderson announced today that she and MTV 'Jersey Shore' star The Situation will be getting married in early November," a news anchor reports. "We'll be devoting all our resources to this story, even taking reporters off of congressional races to bring you by minute by minute breaking news."

The faux news report is interrupted by a frenzied Olivia Wilde, broadcasting from a post-apocalyptic year 2057, who introduces herself as "Olivia Kickin' Chipotle Glazed Time Warner."

That's because in this nightmare future, everyone has to go by brand names.

"You're about to make a huge mistake," she says. "One that changes our country forever."

Warning that she, from the future, knows "you" didn't vote in the upcoming 2010 elections, Wilde says "that's when it all went wrong."

So what do we have to fear?

According to the video, Republicans take over Congress, merge with corporations and create a monster entity called RepubliCorp.

In the future, Social Security is replaced by a "daily motivational email from John Boehner" and a literal fat cat -- an obese tabby -- is in charge of financial regulation.

Not to mention "the two most terrifying words in the English language: President Palin."

That’s hilarious.

Some people have been in Hollyweird a little too long.... RepubliCorp? LOL

[Lucky9teen]

Seems her brains is as big as her boobs.....if you can call em that. Look more like tic tacs.

[turdhopper]

you and me both toll man

[techno]

Too little too late!

[peeps36]

She's beautiful on the outside but rancid on the inside. The foul odor is seeping from every orifice on her body. What a shame.

Paying attention to trained and paid liars (what else do you call actors?) is a losing proposition. They are graded and paid based on how convincingly they can speak words that someone else has written. This makes them worth paying attention to ... WHY?

Number 13 has left the building...


Amber Tamblyn steps in for Olivia Wilde on "House"

File this under least enviable replacement job ever: Amber Tamblyn will fill in for Olivia Wilde on House while the latter is on hiatus filming back-to-back movies.

According to TV Guide, The Joan of Arcadia/Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants star will play begin playing medical student Martha M. Masters in episode 6. Who wants to put money on House calling her 3M or M&M or something really dirty involving the letter M?

Her character is described by House regular Jesse Spencer (Dr. Chase) as “all wide-eyed and moralistic, and Chase loves watching House devour her. He takes her to the cleaners and it’s hilarious.” Gosh, who doesn’t House take to the cleaners? Tormenting people is basically his modus operandi.

But I do like Amber so I hope she can make Martha, who is also called “a socially awkward kid who was always a little ahead of everyone else,” more than just House’s latest punching bag. Also, if you’re wondering about Amber’s playing gay credentials given Olivia’s bisexual turn on House, well, she kissed Sophie Monk in Sping Breakdown, so I guess that’s something.

As for the woman she is replacing, Olivia just finished filming Cowboys & Aliens with Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford. She has a slew of movies coming out including this winter’s highly anticipated Tron Legacy and then the indie comedy Butter. She is also slated to play opposite Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman in the body-swapping comedy The Change-Up.

Olivia has also signed on to play – get this – Justin Timberlake’s mom in an untitled sci-fi thriller. If the thought of Olivia (age 26) playing the mother of Justin (age 29) makes your head explode, please know that the film in question is about a society where aging stops at 25 — so I guess it only makes my head partially explode.

Olivia is still expected to return to House before the season’s end. But with so many big projects in the shoot and a replacement in position, I have to wonder if her days at Princeton-Plainsboro are numbered. So what do you think? Will Thirteen be back? Is Amber a worthy successor?

I seem to recall they did something like this just before the 2008 presidential elections. There was a series of videos put up on a Dem website and YouTube called “2050”...or something like that.

In it was a series of “nightmare scenarios”, enhanced by CG special effects, where the US is portrayed as a wrecked, half destroyed, pollution-damaged shell of its former self.

In one section, NYC was devastated by what may have been a nuke, with the view of a huge crater engulfing most of mid-town Manhattan. Why? Because of our war-mongering policies...started back in 2008 when we elected a Republican as President.

In another, health care was doled out ONLY if you could pay, with only the very rich getting needed medical care. Why? Republicans and the evil pharmaceutical/healthcare providers got together to get richer and richer until only the rich could afford healthcare.

In yet another, the environment has gone straight into the toilet, with badly polluted air, dirty landscapes, and less and less clean water available for anyone. Why? The evil Republicans threw out most of the environmental laws, which allowed big corporations to pollute to their hearts content while they made tons of money. The actor in this one actually mutters to himself “I wish we’d elected Obama when we had the chance...”

Finally, there were interviews with a few people who said elections were held, but the only candidates were who the government SAID you could vote for. It was basically a dictatorship, although they never said so outright. And who, pray tell, was in charge? Yep...Republicans. Evil, nasty, foul, freedom-destroying Republicans.

So, Miss Wilde...can the bullcrap, lady. We’ve seen it before, and just like what you’re saying now, 2 years later....IT’S A LIE.

The Rand Paul stalker who’s attack video went viral was also an employee of MoveOn’s “RepubliCorp”.

Rent-a-mob astroturf.

[Slings and Arrows]

I don’t know how much she gets paid, but she’s damn sure not getting it for thinking.

[SES1066]

Oh when will they learn from Pernell Roberts and David Caruso...

To my mind the most famous of these 'premature' actors were McLean Stevenson (Col. Henry Blake) and Wayne Rodgers ('Trapper John' McIntyre) both of whom left M*A*S*H after it's 3rd year and when it was just getting going well.

M*A*S*H only went on another 7 years and earned the cast who stayed considerable amounts in salary and residuals as well as many awards. McLean did end up realizing how well he had killed his golden goose but Wayne has gone on to individual glory as an investor and money manager.

[hoagy62]

I was just a BIT off...

The series was called "The Year 2048". Believe it or not, it's still up. Want a laugh? Go and check it out.

The Year 2048

[2ndDivisionVet]

Idiocracy + The Manchurian Candidate + Being There = The Obama Regime.

[Calvin Locke]

Wayne Rodgers doesn’t really count. He was successful in business before his acting foray, and has been successful after, as you point out.

I’d completely forgotten about Stevenson. Dying relatively early can encourage that.

In my memory, Stevenson was the only person on the Tonight Show to be able to drag out a joke across two nights.

[Lakeshark]

Isn't this one of the places where pissant and Rabadash get their news articles to post?

[gramho12]

She has a vagina, so I guess we should listen.

I could ask you if you really know "fer shure" but I won't go there...

Maybe the Conservatives need to do a commercial showing what the future will be with a second term for Obama or a Democrat majority for 10 years. The people’s Republic of Amerika with State Capitalism and total control. The banning of the Republican Hate Party, The total amnesty of all foreigners in America. Limted food consumption. All American wealth to go to Africa and South America. Control of the UN, American Flags banned, All Crosses banned, churches taxed. All rich reduced to 99% taxes. Army navy unionized. Students Unionized. Big Macs banned.
