Taylor Lautner Stretching Himself as an Actor
What's Taylor Lautner's next role going to be after playing Jacob in the Twilight series? You may think it's a real stretch? Har har.
He's starring as Stretch Armstrong, in a movie based upon the popular toy.
Universal hopes to have the movie out in 2010, and apparently it will be coming at you in 3-D, so get ready!A New Cougar in Town
Sheryl Crow is headed to Cougar Town this spring. The singer doesn't do much acting, but she'll be competing with Courteney Cox for Grayson's affections, reportedly.
We don't know much about her character, but we know she'll be playing opposite Josh Hopkins on the ABC sitcom.
Sounds good to us though. We love Sheryl Crow and we love Cougar Town. Why not?David Letterman's Superbowl Party
Go Saints! The Super Bowl was last night and let's talk the highlights. Peyton Manning did some things and so did Drew Brees, and there were some touchdowns. Oh, but did you see the beaver playing the violin? How about Betty White playing football?
What was your favorite commercial last night? How about the kid with the Doritos?
Our personal favorite was David Letterman's Super Bowl party! We always love Dave with Oprah, but we never thought we'd see Leno show up too. Hilarious!
Dear John Kicks Avatar's Butt
Avatar's reign of terror at the box office has come to an end after seven weeks at the top. So who's the new champ? In a little bit of a shocker, it's Dear John.
Dear John made an estimated $32.4 million over Avatar's $23.6 million. John Travolta's From Paris with Love rounded out the top three.
Okay, so Avatar did become the highest grossing film of all time this week, so it's not great loss for James Cameron, but it's nice for another movie to get a chance, right?
Mickey Rourke Says Megan Fox Is Talented
Golden Globe winning actor Mickey Rourke said that Megan Fox is "probably the best young actress" he's ever worked with. He has a Golden Globe, so he knows.
They just finished wrapping a romance called Passion Play, where he plays a trumpet player and she plays a woman with wings. Sounds about right.
He said: "At twenty-three, I couldn't do half of what she's doing," and "there's a lot of chemistry and a lot of respect. We're both comfortable with each other."
Interesting, since we are terrified of the guy. (And we're not the only ones.)We Hope Kate Walsh Is Feeling Lucky
There are now two coin tosses to care about this weekend. There's that, you know, football thing on Sunday. Or, there's the one between Kate Walsh and her now official ex-husband Alex Young.
They finalized their divorce, and to decide who gets what, they are literally flipping a coin. The agreement says: "One-half of the community property furniture and artwork to be divided by alternating picks after the flip of a coin to determine who will pick first."
Young also picks up $627,000 clams worth of Private Practice money plus residuals. A pretty sweet deal for a marriage that lasted a little over a year.
Randy Jackson's Sued Over Dance Crew
Did Randy Jackson copy someone else's idea for America's Best Dance Crew on MTV? That's what Dwight McGhee says.
McGhee allegedly pitched the idea in 2004 for the show which started airing as Jackson's idea in 2008. He wants $2 million.
We don't know anything about the legality of all of this, but we're guessing that any show that involves Mario Lopez probably wasn't the most original idea to start with. And didn't they also copy other shows that are about dancing?
Reese Witherspoon Back on the Prowl?
Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal broke up only two months ago, but she may be dating again already.
She was spotted out to dinner last week with Jim Toth an agent at CAA. Her reps claim it was a "business dinner," but sources who saw them there said it looked more like a date.
Hmm. Maybe she learned her lesson and is done dating actors. But really, Reese? An agent? A girl's gotta play the field though, so we hope you're having some fun!What's the Worst Movie Ever?
Empire Magazine asked it's readers recently to vote on the worst movies of all time. What do you think made the top (or the bottom?) of the list?
Maybe we gave it away, but yes, it is George Clooney's masterpiece, Batman and Robin.
Coming in close at number two and number three are Battlefield Earth and The Love Guru. These seem like solid choices, though we can't say we've seen them.
(Okay, we did see Batman and Robin, but now that Clooney is an Oscar winner we pretend like we haven't. It's just part of the deal.)
Betty White Tells Rue McClanahan to Drop Dead
"Dear Rue, I hope you hurry up and die so I can be the last Golden Girl left. NOT KIDDING!"
That's the note that Betty White sent to fellow Golden Girl Rue McClanahan when she was in the hospital for a stroke a few weeks ago.
She was kidding, of course, and Rue thought it was hilarious. That's just how they talk to each other. We would actually love it if Betty White told us to drop dead too.
