It's a sad day for fans of historical landmarks and fictional landmarks alike, as the firehouse that was used as the headquarters in the 1980's classic "Ghostbusters" is in danger of being shut down. New York City Mayor Bloomberg is planning a series of budget cuts for the city, and that includes shutting down 20 firehouses across the Big Apple.

Tom Hooper quickly became one of the most internationally-respected directors in the world when he won the Oscar and a number of other awards for directing "The King's Speech." The world, as they say, is Tom Hooper's oyster. So what was Hooper's first move after his work with "The King's Speech" was over?
Why, directing a Captain Morgan's rum commercial of course!
The new Captain Morgan's campaign kicks off with an 80-second spot directed by Hooper, in which the famous captain halts a deadly battle in an unorthodox manner.

Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, the playwright they brought in to fix the 'Spider-Man' musical, has now landed a regular writing job on "Glee" (which he'll also co-produce) and will also take on the task of remaking Brian De Palma's "Carrie." It's like a one-two punch of high school surreality.

Last night's "American Idol" was the venue for the much anticipated first look at Beyonce's new video for her single "Run the World (Girls)." The clip shows Queen B holding court with her tribe of hot, powerful women ready to take down any man they stands in their way. Watch it here!

Phil is on a mission: get Claire to have a meltdown about Alex's graduation today, so that she won't do it tomorrow and keep him from going to Vegas. That involves pulling out all the stops to try to make her cry about Alex moving on to high school, but even "You know what else is sad? The end of 'Titanic'" doesn't work.

If you've just been dying to see the latest acting endeavors of yet another Victoria's Secret model, here's your fix: there's a brand-new "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" clip out, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is in it. In fact, Rosie is about the only thing that's in the clip. Sure, we get to see how stunning she looks, especially when standing next to Shia LaBeouf. But...shouldn't there be some giant robots in here somewhere?

Despite having several projects line up, "personal matters" will now prevent Schwarzenegger from committing to any of them. IN a written statement, his office said "Governor Schwarzenegger is focusing on personal matters and is not willing to commit to any production schedules or timelines. This includes 'Cry Macho,' 'The Terminator' franchise and other projects under consideration. We will resume discussions when Governor Schwarzenegger decides."

When "The Transporter" came out in 2002, the last thing I thought was that it would turn into a franchise. I certainly had no conception that anyone would make a TV show from it. And yet here we are, casting a show on - of all networks - Cinemax. Entertainment Weekly reports that Chris Vance has been cast in the role made famous by Jason Statham.

The beginning of last night's "South Park" tells you exactly what kind of episode you're in for, even if the title doesn't. So if you haven't seen it yet, be warned: the subject matter is a bit explicit. But also very scientific. When Cartman sees a poster in the hallway listing the height differentials of all of the boys over the past year, Cartman misinterprets the results as measurements of something else entirely.
