Sometimes, it's like they put a cast together just for me. Such is the case with the one announced in The Hollywood Reporter for the upcoming film "Bachelorette" (though the name is likely to change).
You've got your Adam Scott, best known now as Ben on "Parks and Recreation," your Lizzy Caplan, best known as Adam Scott's love-interest on the late "Party Down," your Casey Wilson, best known as being fired from "Saturday Night Live," and your Kirsten Dunst, best known for being terribly underrated. Yeah, I said it.

Mork and Mindy? Mike and Molly?
It's likely that neither of my suggestions are correct but Mariah Carey wants the public to keep guessing what she and husband Nick Cannon have named their newborn twins.
As we reported this weekend "dem babies," as Carey referred to them, were born on Saturday morning via C-section in Los Angeles. The brother and sister weighed over 10 lbs combined.

Sure, the Maxim Hot 100 list isn't any kind of real barometer of a woman's importance in Hollywood. Yes, it's mostly a beauty contest put on by a magazine that profits from the pictures that people can then drool over. It would be silly to call the Maxim Hot 100 "news." Really, very silly. Absurd.
But...Rose Huntington-Whiteley? Really?
The "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" star tops the Maxim Hot 100 list for 2011, which counts down the women in the entertainment business based on their buzz over the past year (and their looks, of course).

You might have seen one of those billboards saying that the Rapture is coming on May 21st, 2011. In that case, the upcoming film "Rapture-Palooza," set in a post-Rapture world, would be a very timely one. Too bad nobody will be around to see it, eh?
Regardless, "Rapture-Palooza" has just gained two new cast members: "Twilight" star Anna Kendrick has joined on, along with "Bones" star John Francis Daley.

I gotta be honest. I thought "Fantastic Mr. Fox" was pretty genius and all, but I'm pretty eager to see another Wes Anderson film with, you know, real live actors and the like. So I was pleased as poop today to hear that Wes Anderson is moving forward apace with his latest film "Moonrise Kingdom," and putting a mammoth cast of top notch actors to work as we speak, including Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand, Bruce Willis and Jason Schwartzman.

It's the 20th anniversary of the MTV Movie Awards, and this year's nominees have been revealed. It's not shocking that blockbuster flicks of last year "Eclipse" and "Inception" are nominated several times
When the awards ceremony takes place on Sunday, June 5, at 9 p.m. ET, Jason Sudeikis will be behind the mic as this year's host. Vamp-flick "Eclipse" scored eight nominations, Leonardo DiCaprio's dreamy "inception" racked up seven and "Harry Potter and the Dealthy Hallows: Part 1" came in just behind them with six nods.

"South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are no strangers to musicals: their feature film "South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut" features a full set of very catchy tunes. They're also no strangers to awards: "South Park" has been nominated for Emmys time and again, and the "South Park" movie received an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song.

Known for over the top comedy and sometimes genius-level, razor-sharp wit, Andy Dick has made audiences laugh uncomfortably for years on shows like "NewsRadio" and "Community." It's the other side of Dick, the side that landed him on "Celebrity Rehab," that could (and maybe should) ultimately end up putting him behind bars for a while.
Dick was arrested Monday night at a Marie Callender's in Temecula, California, for causing a disturbance and being blatantly intoxicated.
