New ‘Angry Bird Rio’ game takes flight in March

Love them Angry Birds? Anxious to get to a new level?

Then you’ll probably love the news about Angry Birds creators Rovia partnering with 20th Century Fox Studios on a special Angry Birds “Rio” game to cross promote the studio’s new animated film, “Rio,” from the creators of Ice Age. The film’s voices include Jamie Foxx, George Lopez, Jesse Eisenberg, anAnne Hathaway.

In the new game, the Angry Birds will try to rescue Blu, a hapless blue Macaw, played in the film by “Social Network” star Jesse Eisenberg and Jewel, his female counterpart, voiced by Anne Hathaway (yes, the Oscar-hosting Hathaway). The game will launch in March timed to the film’s release and will have 45 dedicated levels to start and more available to download.

‘Social Network’ Jesse Eisenberg doesn’t own a TV

So I found out something surprising at the Palm Springs Film Festival this weekend.  “The Social Network” star Jesse Eisenberg not only hasn’t checked out his competition  in the 2011 Best Film awards category. He doesn’t watch movies, claims to have a very strange attention span, finds movies intimidating and he doesn’t even own a TV and (are you ready) or have a DVD player in his computer. Somebody get this guy an iPad, stat.

Check out the video for more insight into Jesse, such as the fact that he has no idea what he would like to ask Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg, has absolutely no clue what designer he’s wearing and he puts on whatever is on the  hanger someone hands him before he goes out to an event.

How much do we love this nervous but adorably honest actor? Can’t wait to hear his Oscar acceptance speech.
