Tom Hanks

With all of the drama surrounding NBC's late-night schedule, we knew at least a few celebrities would take shots at the network during the Golden Globes.

Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and Tina Fey all wasted no time in taking jabs at NBC during the network's red carpet coverage.

One more star has joined the Twitterverse, and we have high hopes. Tom Hanks's first tweet yesterday read: "Testing...testing...Is this thing on?"

He has tweeted a total of three times so far, and most recently said: "Copy 5 by 5 on those Back Tweets. I'll try to keep these snappy. 2010 is kooks so far, no? Hanx."

What's Tom Hanks' favorite song of the year? He was asked just that at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 25th Anniversary show yesterday.

Yup, it's Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)," which seems like a sort of unlikely choice, but maybe Forrest, Forrest Gump is hipper than we thought. We do forget that he taught Elvis how to dance.

Nick Cassavetes wants you to know you’re going to die.

And not only is it okay, “It’s beautiful,” says the director.

Bless us father, but we must confess, the Dan Brown/Da Vinci Code bus is not one we ride.

However, Angels & Demons, the prequel to Brown’s The Da Vinci Code and the follow up to the blockbuster 2006 film adaption, is a thoroughly enjoyable movie. 

It must be a miracle! A sequel that’s better than its predecessor.

When we went to a screening of Angel & Demons last week, we were slightly stunned to see two nuns sitting in front of us.

They must have been doing re-con.

Because apparently, so did the Vatican.

The Vatican’s own newspaper released a review of the new Ron Howard/Tom Hanks follow up to The Da Vinci Code and has deemed the film “a gigantic and smart commercial operation” that’s just “two hours of harmless entertainment, which hardly affects the genius and mystery of Christianity.”

Sounds like a seal of approval to us.

Dan Brown’s third book in the The Da Vinci Code series hasn’t even made it to stores yet, but the film adaptation has already been green-lit.

That’s because it’s a freakin’ cash cow!

The film adaptation of The Da Vinci Code, starring Tom Hanks in 2006, grossed more than $758 million worldwide and the prequel, Angels & Demons, which opens on May 14th, is expected to do equally massive business.

Woo woo, time to ride that gravy train all the way to the end of the line.

We love that Zac Efron has such a great head on his shoulders.

And not only because it’s pretty.

While promoting 17 Again last week, Zac was asked why he’s not much of a Lohan-esque party boy seen wasted, stumbling out of clubs and scowling at the paparazzi.

“There’s a time for celebration and I partake, sure,” he said. “But, you know, it’s important not to let that become too big of a distraction. The more you have access to, the harder it is to remain focused."

We love Zac Efron.

Anyone who reads Gossip Sauce knows we have mad, crazy, big time love for our Zac-Y Pooh, but yesterday our adoration was kicked into a new pantheon.

You know why?

Because Zac Efron is the kindest, most genteel and generous celebrity we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.

On Sunday, we attended the press junket for 17 Again (more on that coming soon, so stay tuned).

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!
