Other terrible world events Mark Wahlberg wouldn't have let happen
Mark Wahlberg has been in trouble recently for claiming he wouldn't have let the Twin Tower attacks happen if he'd been on the plane. His outspoken comments had us dare to dream just what other disasters Wahlberg would have stopped had he not been acting or rapping?

Exclusive pictures from The Expendables 2: PG-13 version
As Sylvester Stallone reveals that Chuck Norris got his way and The Expendables 2 will be released as a PG-13 rated movie, we can exclusively reveal some leaked photos from the set of the movie. They weren't kidding: this one is aimed squarely at the teenage market.

If trashy movies had classy posters
