Julianne and James get Bold and Lyrical

The more we see of James Corden hosting The Late Late Show on nightly on CBS, the more we grow to love him. He manages to persuade the most unlikely major Hollywood stars to take part in his tomfoolery, and they not only seem to be lining up in droves to be on the Show, but they all throw themselves into the spirit of it and appear to be having such a blast in his silly, but very clever, skits.

This Monday it was the turn of Oscar winner Julianne Moore and heartthrob John Stamos act out a scene from a soap opera 'The Bold and the Lyrical' using nothing but Taylor Swift (cheesy) lyrics.  At one point, Julianne quotes “Someone Like You,” with the James calling her out on the mistake, saying: “I think that’s Adele, Good song though!”   Julianne in particular is a very good sport and the whole thing is hilariously funny.

Matt Damon plays 'dress up' with James Corden

queerguru doesn't usually like to boast (!) but we had one up on fellow Brit James Corden last night when he confessed that hadn't seen Ridley Scott's latest Hollywood blockbuster 'The Martian' as it has not been released yet.  We have though as we caught a press preview .... and surprised ourselves by how much we loved it .... our full review will be published tomorrow.  However James Corden went one better than that of course and he got to play 'dress up' with the movie's star Matt Damon.  The two acted out Matt's entire movie career in under 8 minutes.  It was hilariously funny and totally spot on.  Except for bit about The Martian, but then James was at a disadvantage and could only guess.

Why we LOVE James Corden

The more we see of (fellow Brit) James Corden the unquestionably funniest Late Late Show Host on American TV right now, the more we love him. Watch him here pitch in with his very witty take on why Dalton Maldonado, the star basketball player at Betsy Layne High School in Kentucky omitted from his yearbook because he is gay.

Part of Corden's spiel was 'If you’re a homophobic school, you do not call yourself Betsy Layne High. Betsy Layne sounds like a girl who would love a gay friend. It actually sounds like a term for coming out, as in, ‘Have you heard about Simon? Oh what, what’s happened? He’s gone down Betsy Layne.”

On a lighter note, Corden has a regular slot in his show called 'Carpool Karoake' when he gifts a ride to work to a famous singer and then turns on the car radio which just happens to be playing their music and the two of them sing along. He has had people such as Justin Bieber, Rod Stewart and Mariah Carey in his passenger seat so far, but the very best guest by far was the day his traveling companion was Jennifer Hudson.   The clip of the two is totally wonderful and already clocked up over 8  million views since it was posted onto You Tube.
