The character originated in 1983 and has had several different looks. In the film, he is a seven-foot tall, blue-skinned, indestructible anti-hero who drives a spiffed up motorcycle. He lands on our planet in search of four fugitives who are causing chaos.

Production on Lobo begins next year.

Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana, stars of The Time Traveler's Wife (out today), talked to USA Today about the trouble with socializing in modern times.

Eric (Star Trek, The Other Boleyn Girl) has been married to wife Rebecca Gleeson for 11 years, but he says, "I don't know how I would hold up in today's market. I can't imagine making a move on someone via text."

Yesterday was all about the couples who sweat together.

While Josh Lucas and Rachel McAdams were biking around the East Village, baby daddy Justin Timberlake and his girlfriend Jessica Biel were running along Manhattan’s West Side Highway.

Jogging behind JT must be the ultimate rabbit-and-carrot.

We wonder if Jess was listening to “SexyBack.”

Getting sweaty with JT isn’t a workout; it’s a privilege.

New couple Rachel McAdams and Josh Lucas were spotted biking around New York City’s East Village on Thursday afternoon.

They were seen apartment hunting in the same neighborhood two weeks ago.

Were they patrolling their new neighborhood or just enjoying the wind in their hair?

Why does Josh look like a bike messenger and Rachel look like Carmen Sandiego without the hat?

Spidey may need to snare a new leading lady in his web.

Kirsten Dunst is playing hard to get.

The fourth installment of the Spider-Man franchise is gearing up and Tobey Maguire has already signed on for a fourth and fifth film, but The Fang isn’t sure she wants to reprise the role of Mary Jane Watson.

Director Sam Raimi says, “I’m hoping that she is going to come on board and I’ve got a meeting coming up with her. I think she would like to but I don’t want to speak on her behalf.”

Whasa goin’ on?

On Friday new couple Josh Lucas and Rachel McAdams were spotted apartment hunting together in New York’s East Village. And they did not look happy to be noticed by the paparazzi.

We’re not sure if they’re looking to buy a place together or if just one of them is browsing, but checking out real estate with the person you’re dating is comparable to window shopping for china patterns and monogrammed luggage.

Are these two more serious than we realized?

Last night was ShowWest’s closing night awards banquet where the National Association of Theater Owners honored the actors and actresses they’ve knighted the biggest stars (and sacred cash cows) of the upcoming year.

The honorees included Zac Efron, Rachel McAdams, Audrina Patridge (say WHAT?!?!?), Dennis Quaid, Michael Caine, Sienna Miller, Zack Snyder, Bradley Cooper and Michael Bay.

So who would you rather?

Zac-y Pooh in all his barely legal, 17 Again glory?

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!

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.

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.

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!
