Alison Brie Shares ‘Community' Movie Update & Pitch For 'X-Rated' Version
After six seasons and movie, two Community characters might finally seal the deal if Alison Brie has her way. The 2x Golden Globe nominee recently revealed her hopes for her character Annie Edison in the long-awaited feature adaptation of the NBC/Yahoo series, while sharing an update on the production schedule. More from Deadline Joel McHale Shares Update On 'Community' Movie & Says Donald Glover Is Not To Blame: 'It's My Schedule On This One' 'Community' Movie Is Being 'Reworked' But Yvette Nicole Brown Says 'A Script Exists' 'Love Island USA' Breaks Peacock Ratings Record 'There's no update,' she told husband and Together co-star Dave Franco in a sit-down for Entertainment Tonight. 'I would say it's paused due to a number of factors. The entire cast is still enthusiastically on board to do the movie.' Brie added, 'Something I would love to see for Annie is full sex with Jeff Winger. You know, I think an X-rated Community movie would consummate that 'will they, won't they.'' During the show's six-season run from 2009 to 2015, recent high school graduate Annie and disgraced fake lawyer Jeff (Joel McHale) carried on a flirtation and even kissed on a few occasions, but they never went further than that, usually because the creepy reality of the age difference deflated the moment. As for Franco's thoughts on his wife's potential intimate scenes with McHale? 'You know what? I'm down,' he said after the initial shock. After creating the comedy series, Dan Harmon penned the long-awaited movie with former show writer Andrew Guest. Peacock officially ordered the feature in 2022, confirming the return of stars McHale and Brie, as well as Danny Pudi, Gillian Jacobs, Jim Rash and Ken Jeong. Yvette Nicole Brown has also confirmed her return, noting in October that the script was 'being reworked' to include her character Shirley. Last September, Community: The Movie was announced as one of 19 projects that will benefit from $51.6 million in incentives from California's film and TV tax credits program. McHale previously took responsibility for the movie's delay, telling GQ that fans 'can fully blame my schedule' following speculation that Glover's busy schedule was holding up production.

The show also stars Michael Rowland, Vella Lovell, Ravi Patel and Grace Palmer.

TV Host Reveals He's Had 4 Hair Transplants ― And Has A Warning For Those Who Want One
Joel McHale is all about transparency. The 53-year-old comedian opened up about all the ways he's worked to maintain a full head of hair over the years, and shared his plastic surgery tips during an appearance on the 'We Might Be Drunk' podcast earlier this week. 'Yeah, I'm fully bald. This is four transplants,' McHale shared. 'I did it way back when it was a strip, which was, uh, painful,' the 'Community' actor said. The 'strip' method refers to Follicular Unit Transplantation, which is an older hair transplant technique that involves surgically removing a strip of scalp. 'Don't do a strip,' McHale said, instructing one of the co-hosts to 'do plucking' instead, calling it 'a miracle.' 'Plucking' is a term for doing hair transplants via the Follicular Unit Extraction method, which extracts individual hair follicles and then implants them in the affected areas. 'It's great, do it now,' McHale said of the new method, before shouting out his doctor, Dr. Parsa Mohebi. McHale, who said he paid around $10,000 for the procedure, added a warning for anyone who might be interested in getting a transplant themselves. 'I can get you a name of a guy in Turkey,' McHale said, as the conversation turned to a popular spot for people to undergo transplants. 'But just make sure, 'cause if somebody is like, 'I'll do it for $3,000,' then you don't [do it]. You get what you pay for.' The comedian has spoken about undergoing the procedure over the years, and explained the root cause of why he didn't want to go fully bald. 'My head is not a good shape,' McHale joked during an appearance on Burt Kreischer's podcast, '2 Bears, 1 Cave' back in 2023. 'It comes to a point,' he said of his head shape. 'Like someone's pulling a sheet.' In recent years, celebrities like Amy Schumer and Kylie Jenner have won praise for being open and honest about the plastic surgery they've had. Jenner ― who denied going under the knife for many years ― recently shared exactly what kind of breast augmentation she had done. '445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! Jenner said. 'Hope this helps lol.'

'Fully bald' Joel McHale reveals he underwent FOUR hair transplants
Joel McHale has undergone four $10,0000 hair transplants and admits he is "fully bald". The 53-year-old actor and comedian - who is best known for hosting The Soup and his role as Jeffrey "Jeff" Winger on the NBC sitcom Community - says the treatments he has had are "a miracle" because he lost all his hair ages ago. Appearing on the We Might Be Drunk podcast, he confirmed: "Yeah, I'm fully bald. [I've had] four transplants. "I did it way back when it was a strip. Painful. Don't do a strip. Do plucking. Now they pluck it from the whole back section, and it's a miracle. "You're still going bald, so that hair is still falling out, but the hair that you put there is growing, but you'll still thin, because the hair that was going to fall out is going to fall out." On the recovery process, he added: "They send you home with Tylenol. If you shave your head, it goes faster." He's hopeful there is going to be a pill to cure baldness, adding: "They are still trying to unlock the DNA but they thought that would be solved 15 years ago." Joel recently revealed a Community movie is in the works. He starred as a suspended lawyer who attends a community college in the NBC sitcom - which originally ran from 2009 until 2014 - and, in April, he revealed the budget had been put in place for a big-screen adaptation. He told Us Weekly: "We are going to make the movie and we have the money. "We are funded. That is the hardest thing to get made, or get to get done, and we have got that done. It's come down to scheduling. And so, I think it'll be done by — I think it'll shoot at some point this year. Probably in the autumn. That's my prediction and that's also my hope." Last year, the Ted star - who appeared alongside the likes of Donald Glover, Alison Brie and Yvette Nicole Brown in the sticom - explained that any delay in the movie's development was down to him and his hectic schedule. He said: "If it's anybody's fault, it's my schedule on this one. It's not [Donald's] at all. He was available. … We love Donald. You can fully blame my schedule."

Joel McHale jokes he is 'fully bald' as he admits to getting FOUR hair transplants
A beloved sitcom star has revealed a rather surprising secret: that he's 'fully bald' but fans will never know it. The actor and comedian - who has both hosted talk shows and game shows and starred in some recent hit comedy shows - made the admission during a podcast. The actor is in his early 50s, but he revealed that he has gone through a whopping four hair transplants solely to stave off baldness. He also admitted to shelling out over $10K per procedure, which he had done in Los Angeles... although he 'knows a guy' in Turkey. While he wouldn't divulge when he had the first procedure, he did admit to first getting one when the technology wasn't quite as up to date as it is now. Who is this sitcom star who has admitted to being fully bald without the help of four transplants? The answer may surprise you. It's none other than Community and Animal Control star Joel McHale, who made the admission on Sunday's episode of the We Might Be Drunk podcast. When one of the hosts admitted to trying hair transplants, McHale admitted, 'Yeah, I'm fully bald. [I've had] four transplants.' 'I did it way back when it was a strip. Painful. Don't do a strip. Do plucking. Now they pluck it from the whole back section, and it's a miracle,' the actor added of the technology. When one of the hosts asked who his 'guy' was, McHale named Parsa Mohebi, a Los Angeles-based hair restoration specialist. The actor admitted that, 'A lot of people go to Turkey' to get their hair done, adding he can, 'get you a guy' if the host who was considering it wanted to go that route. 'But just make sure, because if somebody is like, 'I'll do it for $3,000,' then you don't. You get what you pay for,' he advised. When McHale was asked how much it would cost to get it done right, he said it would cost about $10,000, but he would have paid even more. McHale added, 'And it's your hair that you're growing,' before explaining why he had to do the process four times. 'You're still going bald, so that hair is still falling out, but the hair that you put there is growing, but you'll still thin, because the hair that was going to fall out is going to fall out,' McHale admitted. When asked how the recovery process is, the actor said, 'They send you home with Tylenol,' adding, 'If you shave your head, it goes faster.' McHale added that he would wear 'baseball hats' during the recovery process, adding that the wait list is 'a year and a half' already. The actor said they are 'still working' on a pill that would supposedly cure baldness, adding, 'they are still trying to unlock the DNA but they thought that would be solved 15 years ago.'
