With many thanks to Jody at Hugh Jackman Fan Site, HJF has these amazing scans of Hugh Jackman gracing the recent over of Men’s Fitness. The July/August 2013 edition of the magazine has him talking about – what else? – his recent food and fitness regime to get him into shape for X-Men: Days of Future Past — and how he might be sticking to his current diet for good. There are a few new stories in this article, such as the cruel nickname of “Ana” in his youth and how fighting while on rollerblades might not be a great idea.

A new, international trailer for The Wolverine was released today. There is a lot of previously unseen footage in this one, so it’s definitely worth checking out in addition to the earlier teasers (unless you’re wary of too many details and getting spoiled). We get a lot more of Viper in this one, along with a couple more scenes with Mariko. The Wolverine hits theaters July 26th.

Men’s Uno just published a new Hugh Jackman interview and photo shoot, Wolverine chops on full display as he talks about his upcoming movie. You can read the Q&A on their website, though you may have to run it through a translator (unless you happen to understand Chinese). A lot of what Hugh says is standard fare – his diet, filming in Japan, the title of the film (The Wolverine) indicating that it’s the definitive story for his character – but the accompanying pictures certainly are nice.

The Wal-Mart (WMT) show did not disappoint today. A crew of A-list celebrities showed up at the annual meeting of the world’s biggest retailer, wowing thousands of employees and investors in attendance, as well as the masses who tuned in to the live Webcast.

One would assume Wal-Mart handed each of the celebrities a small fortune. Oddly, it didn’t. None of the stars were paid to appear, according to a Wal-Mart spokeswoman. Nor, she says, did the company promise any special treatment for the performers’ music and/or movies sold in its 10,000 stores around the world.

Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Clarkson, and John Legend belted out songs gratis. Tom Cruise hit the stage in a snazzy blue suit, praising the company’s charitable contributions.

Unless the stars just happened to be passing through Fayetteville, Ark., they probably had to travel quite a while to get there. And the meeting wasn’t all light banter and Broadway hits. There were les misérables, as well. Wal-Mart executives faced protests all week over low wages, alleged bribery of officials in Mexico, and the working conditions in garment factories in Bangladesh.

At its core, though, the annual meeting has become a publicity bonanza, not unlike celebrities making the rounds of late-night talk shows. Jackman joked today about naming his next Broadway show “Sam’s Club,” but the actor has something more pressing in the works: His latest X-Men vehicle, The Wolverine, hits theaters next month.

If you’re a fan of “Saturday Night Live” – and even if you don’t follow the program – then you definitely know of The Lonely Island, the rap trio consisting of comedians Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone. They’re most noted for the Emmy-winning song “Dick in a Box,” “Jizz in My Pants,” “Like a Boss,” and the Grammy-nominated “I’m on a Boat.” In a couple of weeks, on June 11th, they’ll be releasing their third album entitled The Wack Album — and there’s a very special guest on one track.

Along with Kristen Wiig, Hugh Jackman will be singing on a song called “You’ve Got The Look.” Actually, to clarify, according to Andy Samberg himself, the number features Hugh rapping — something he had to get a little schooling for. Check out Andy’s account of finding Hugh for the song:

Possibly the most surprising guest appearance comes from Hugh Jackman on the song, “You’ve Got the Look.”

The sultry rap track is about a scantily girl in a club seeking attention… by exposing one of her breasts. “I’d like to think you were looking in the mirror/ Said to yourself, ‘Something’s not right here.’/ Time to shake things up, so you shook one out/ Your hair wasn’t working so you took one out.”

Samberg explained how Jackman wound up rapping about an exhibitionistic woman: “I played [Jackman] on ‘SNL’ and did a terrible impression of him,” said Samberg. “It was all about how he plays two sides in his career, where he’s this Broadway guy but he’s also the action hero. And he loved it, so he came on ‘SNL’ and played Daniel Radcliffe and I played him again. When we went to do ‘You’ve Got the Look,’ I had done all the temp vocals and we were brainstorming about who would be the best guest star. Akiva said, ‘How about Hugh?’ And I was like, ‘I kinda know him!’ So we sent it to him and he said, ‘Yes, absolutely.’”

Since Jackman’s not a natural rapper, the guys in The Lonely Island walked him through his parts. But for more actual hip-hop professionals, the comedians usually gave them a little guidance and then let them loose.
