Clown Colleges throughout the nation may need to re-strategize for enrollment after “Monsters University” opens in 2012.

If clown colleges actually exist, and if they conduct recruitment, they can breath a red-nose sigh of relief, because “Monsters University” is just the new name for “Monsters, Inc. 2.”

Instead of creating a sequel, animators will share the origins of Mike and Sully’s friendship in a prequel from Pixar.

Phew! That was close. A while back we saw promo photos of Adrianne Palicki in her Wonder Woman costume for the new NBC pilot, and boy was it a disaster. You can see it pictured at left: shiny, cheap-looking fabric, blue boots, no stars...fans were in an uproar.

Luckily, sometimes when fans get in an uproar they end up getting their way. Two new set photos from the show have been released, and the new, improved Wonder Woman costume looks much, much better.

Hours after Britney Spears announced she was going on tour with Enrique Iglesias, the Latin singer backed out.

As Billboard reports, Iglesias dropped out of the show without citing why. However, speculation rests on the fact that the shared billing of two A-list celebrities would amount to incredibly high production costs.

“Enrique has great respect for Britney and is a longtime fan of her work.

The traditionally male-dominated entertainment industry has left little in terms of strong female roles. To illustrate the point, try to think of a movie in which a leading female character isn't involved in a romance as a main plot point. It's harder to do than you'd think.

"Twilight" writer Melissa Rosenberg is out to change that. Her new production company, Tall Girls Productions, is out to create strong roles for women in high-concept movies.

The two pre-taped numbers included songs “Yeah 3X” and a mash of  “Forever” and “Beautiful People.” From dancing mimes to glow-in-the-dark dancers, Brown’s number was full of energy and sweet-will.

Proving that it may be a long way towards redemption, the show’s cast was divided in approval.

Hollywood is going fairy tale crazy it seems: "Red Riding Hood" recently hit theaters, the Peter Pan prequel "Pan" is in the works, Jeremy Renner is set to star in "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" (whatever that means), and there's not one but two "Snow White" movies currently in pre-production. That list is impressive enough, but now you can add "Sleeping Beauty" to the mix.
