Woody Allen

You know it's bad when a star makes Woody Allen's romantic and familial relationships look downright appropriate and wholesome.

Rumors have been flying online that Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman, 72, is in a relationship with E'Dena Hines, the 27-year-old granddaughter of Jeanette Adair Bradshaw, Morgan's first ex-wife. Not only that, but it is said that they have been together for as long as a decade and that he plans to marry her.

Ew, ew, ew, ew.

Woody Allen has returned to his roots, both geographic and creative, with Whatever Works. After a four-film dalliance in Europe, the director is back in his beloved hometown, his constant muse, New York City, for a picture that is classic Woody Allen. Or, perhaps, a more fitting description for his latest effort is: vintage.

Naomi Watts has joined the cast of Woody Allen’s latest movie.

The actress will star alongside Frieda Pinto, Josh Brolin and Anthony Hopkins in the still-untitled film which begins filming in London over the summer.

How international (pun not intended) is that cast? There’s a Brit, an Aussie, an American and an Indian actor. It sounds like the start of a “…Walks into a bar…” joke.

We've got fingers crossed that The HoJo isn't coming anywhere near this project.

Woody Allen isn’t just a great director, he also has outstanding taste in women (his love of the HoJo notwithstanding).

The latest lady to score a place on his silver screen, following in the footsteps of Diane Wiest, Mira Sorvino, Diane Keaton and so many other: Slumdog Millionaire’s Freida Pinto.

The film begins shooting in July.

She might just be back at the Oscars next year.

The Academy gives mad love to Woody’s women.

Right, Penelope?

Get those ballots and cheat sheets ready, kids, Gossip Sauce has your Oscar winner predictions below...that is, unless you’re in our Oscar pool, in which case, piss off.

That’s right, I’m talking to you Miss Kelly, and you Mister Tye, and you Mrs. Jorgensen-Reilly, and don’t think I forgot about you Miss King or you, Miss Taylor. Pick your own damn winners. Big Mama needs a new pair of shoes and that pot is all ours!

Mira Sorvino is pulling off a baby-making hat-trick with husband Christopher Backus. Sorvino is pregnant with the couple's third child.

The actress, who won an Oscar in 1995 for her supporting actress role in Woody Allen's Mighty Aphrodite, has been married to Backus, also an actor, for four years and the couple have two children, Mattea Angel, 4, and Johnny Christopher King, 2.

Congratulations to the happy, and apparently very fertile, couple!

Lindsay Lohan somehow managed to get herself featured in next month’s Interview Magazine, why we still don’t know, since the last work she had to promote was her guest appearance on Ugly Betty, but for whatever reason, there she is bitching about the injustice of her life.

Wah.

The HoJo still wants to make music.

Even though she’s terrible at it. 

Her first crash-and-burn album, Anywhere I Lay my Head, which sold an embarrassingly paltry 23,421 copies, was a compilation of Tom Waits covers. Next time, she wants to write her own songs and really put that personal Scarlett Johansson stamp on it.

We can just imagine the diary entry anthems she’d concoct.

“I’m singing all sad because my husband is a fox and my career effin’ rocks and my boobs are ginormous but my ego’s more enormous.”

Scarlett HoJo Johansson wants to record another album.

NOOOOOO!!!

Someone stop her. Quickly!

Her first abysmal effort, “Anywhere I Lay My Head,” was an album of Tom Waits covers and it was awful! We weren’t the only ones who said so.
