Jennifer Hudson, Amy Adams, Joaquin Phoenix and even Seth Green all managed to score cherry new roles this week. Roles include new films from the Farrelly brothers, Paul Thomas Anderson, and James Gray. Find out who's going to be hanging out with "The Three Stooges" and who has met "The Master."

Although being a remarkably small show, even for a smaller network like FX, "Louie" quickly gained a passionate fan following due in no small part to the popularity of its star, stand-up comic Louis C.K. The critically-acclaimed show returns for its second season on June 23rd. Watch the new promo spot.

If you are like millions of other "Jackass" groupies around the world, today is your lucky day. Not only is "Jackass 3.5" now available exclusively on Amazon, but badass Johnny Knoxville himself will be entertaining a live Twitter conversation too. The creator of the "Jackass" TV series and movie franchise will be answering questions about the latest flick and according to him, "whatever the hell else you wanna talk about."

OK, so I admit that summertime is about as close to Hell as it gets for TV. Most really great shows have long since wrapped their seasons until fall, there's no great sports on the tube unless one has the patience to sit at home and watch an entire baseball game, and it seems every network thinks this is THE time to trot out their millionth reality-TV retread. But take heart. There are a few scattered big awards shows coming up this month, new seasons of some great cable originals, and the start of one hit series' final bow.

We've seen this move before: just as with "Twilight" and "Harry Potter" before it, "The Hunger Games" will be extending its run in theaters by splitting up one of the books. The book series has three installments, but there will be four movies hitting theaters over the next few years. The move isn't a huge surprise, considering the potential for "The Hunger Games."

Most kids get embarrassed by their dad at some point, but not many of them get dropped from their PR company because of him. So I'm sure we can all feel for Taylor Lautner. The "Twilight" star has reportedly been dropped by Robin Baum of Slate PR, who represented him for just a few short months. But it wasn't anything that Taylor did that made his rep mad enough to drop a teen heartthrob.

Prior to the MTV Movie Awards this Sunday, MTV is unveiling spoofs of all this year's Best Movie nominees. They decided to unveil the video for '"The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" first, as they should. Take a look, but be advised, it's not pretty.

In AMC's "The Walking Dead," zombie fiction fans truly have something to cheer about: the show is a well-written, well-acted, character-driven look at what a zombie apocalypse might look like. Not only that, but it's a close adaptation of the comic book series on which it's based, keeping those fans happy as well. Even those who aren't zombie fanatics can find something to love in this surprisingly thoughtful, human show.

If you like remakes, then today's your day to get excited. Are you excited yet? You should be! Get excited, damn you!
