You most likely know Jason Segal as Marshall in How I Met Your Mother or as that dude who wasn't afraid to let it all hang out in Forgetting Sarah Marshall . He bursts into the occasional comedic song or riff on HIMYM, but here he is doing a number a more grandiose scale - accompanied by The Swell Season at their show this past Wednesday. Check it. Thanks to UnQ for the tip
This is freaking hilarious... A couple nights ago The Swell Season, a band we very nearly noticed walk by once, played a show in Los Angeles. They welcomed onto the stage Forgetting Sarah Marshall's Jason Segel. Segel sat down at...
Forgetting Sarah Marshall star Jason Segel made a surprise appearance at the Swell Season’s November 18th concert at the Wiltern in Los Angeles, entertaining the ladies in the audience with a love song featuring his phone number as the chorus. In case anyone in the crowd couldn’t make out the digits, as evidenced by the [...]
If my favorite part of FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL is Paul Rudd's advice to a forlorn Jason Segel, my second favorite is the "Dracula's Lament" musical that Segel performs at the end. Many thought it might be nominated for an Oscar. It wasn't. And the Oscar eventually went to Marketa Irglova and Glen Hansard for ONCE's "Falling Slowly." While you might chalk that up to "Falling...
No special effects. After becoming pals with the band after he and friend Paul Rudd sent them wine in a restaurant, Jason Segel was asked by the Swell Season to play a song for their fans at their show in L.A. Wednesday night. So he wrote and played a special song for their female fans in particular (and gave out his "phone number," which we're afraid to call in case it's somehow real —...
Jason Segel (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) joined The Swell Season, Irish musician Glen Hansard and Czech singer and pianist Markéta Irglová (you know, the musical artists from the indie musical Once) on stage at The Wiltern in Los Angeles on November 18th, 2009. Segel joked that the movie Once beat out the Dracula Love song from Forgetting Sarah Marshall at the Academy Awards due to Hollywood...
Jason Segel of Forgetting Sarah Marshall / I Love You, Man / Freaks and Geeks game came out last night during The Swell Season’s performance in LA to play a catchy ballad about how he’d like to sleep with one of their fans. The lyrics include his “number,” a boast about dick size, and jokes galore. Very funny and apparently it was written right before the show with the help...
Here's a little something something for people (like this LAist poster) heading for the Swell Season concert at the Wiltern tonight. Jason Segel ( How I Met Your Mother, Forgetting Sarah Marshall ) asked for songwriting advice from the band, and Markéta Irglová told him to "write a song from the heart" and "include as much personal information as you can." Here's...
As a publicist at Shore Fire Media helpfully (and self-servingly, but what can you do) just informed us, The Swell Season ( Once stars Markéta Irglová and Glen Hansard) performed a concert in L.A. last night, and a buddy showed up to première a new song: actor Jason Segel, playing piano and singing a somewhat stream-of-consciousness song not unlike the songs he wrote and performed...
What do Britney Spears, that Brit rocker from 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' and an elephant have in common? On Friday, ETonline gave you a sneak peek at Britney filming a promo spot for the upcoming MTV Video Music Awards, hosted by Russell Brand. Now, we have the official spot! Britney is nominated for Best Female Video for "Piece of Me" in the annual awards show, which will air live from...
Maroons 5 have announced they’ll be performing a New Year’s Eve show at Las Vegas’ the Pearl that will also feature a set from actor Jason Segal, who promises to perform “Dracula’s Lament” from Forgetting Sarah Marshall and more original tunes. Jennifer Hudson has been cast to play Nelson Mandela’s wife Winnie in a film about [...]
If you read celebrity gossip sites, or are on Playboy's email distribution list, you probably already knew that its December issue features Joanna Krupa nude . On top of this hottie in her birthday suit, the men of How I Met Your Mother - Neil Patrick Harris, Jason Segel and Josh Radnor - suit up for the magazine! To celebrate the 100th episode of the hit series, the bros model the season’s...
Everyone loves a good seasonal discount, but I have a feeling we'll be seeing some insane discounts this particular holiday season, especially when it comes to DVDs. Case in point: If you're one of the seven people who don't currently own The Dark Knight on DVD, make sure to head over to Target because they'll be selling the film -- which was released in 2008, mind you -- with a bargain-basement price...
Some days I get no mail, some days the postmen are on strike. Yesterday the mail arrived at 4.30pm and was not worth the wait. Today however was different..and a little spooky. I got two lovely postcards through my letterbox this morning (and 'hooray', Patch did not eat them!). The spooky bit was they were both from Hawaii ..from 2 different people, who don't know each other. Even more coincidental...
