Mark your calendar Spider-Man fans!

Spider-Man 4 is scheduled to be released on May 5th, 2011.

The first three films grossed over $2.5 billion at the box office worldwide. So of course there will be a fourth installment.

Spider-Man star Tobey Maguire and his wife, jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer, welcomed their second child on Friday.

Maguire, 33, and Meyer, 31, had their daughter Ruby right around the time of their 2007 wedding and the baby born yesterday is a little boy.

No name has been released as of yet. 

The couple were introduced by Jennifer’s father, Universal Studios head Ron Meyer in 2003. Ron is also the guy who made Tobey an international superstar by casting him as Spidey.

Daddy takes care of his little girl.

Leonardo DiCaprio, his BFF Tobey Maguire and Dreamworks cofounder Jeffery Katzenberg were front and center last night as the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Utah Jazz 107-96 in game five of the first round of NBA Playoffs at the Staples Center in downtown LA.

Do you have any idea how much cheddar is stacked on those three seats?

Between just Spider-Man (1-3), Titanic and Shrek (1-3), those three men have made Hollywood $3.98 BILLION dollars.

Yes, billion, with a B!

And that’s just a few of their credits.

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.”

The New York Times Screen Test series interviewed James Franco and we were blown away by how charming he was.

We’ve never been a fan of Franco’s. When we’ve dealt with him on a personal level, he’s always been a pompous asshole, but, ever since seeing him in Milk, we find ourselves oddly intrigued, even, dare we say, seduced. 

And his self-deprecating candor in the interview might have inflamed the situation.

Our new least favorite whore, Evan Rachel Wood, is stepping into a role previously inhabited by another bitch we hate; The Fang, Kirsten Dunst.

Wood has signed on to play Mary Jane Watson in the Broadway adaptation of Spider-Man, which will feature music by U2 deities Bono and The Edge.

The show is being directed by Julie Taymor, who also helmed 2007’s Across the Universe which Wood starred in.

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!
