While promoting his new (really awful sounding) film The Happening in Europe, Mark Wahlberg revealed to a British talk show that he recently discovered he had five more siblings he never known about that.

Wahlberg grew up in Boston with eight siblings (including NKOTB’s Donnie Wahlberg). Following his father Donald’s death in February, they discovered Donald had five other children from a previous relationship.

Mark said he was shocked to meet a 50-year old man who walked up and said “Hey man, I'm your brother.” He also revealed his new sisters confided they were fans of New Edition instead of New Kids on the Block (blasphemy!).

Thirteen kids. Wow. Donald Wahlberg was kind of a p-i-m-p.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It
F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It
Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it
Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad
Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
