Drew Barrymore Steps Behind the Camera Again for 'How to Be Single'
March 16, 2011 @ 6:00 am PST    Whip It, He's Just Not That into You, Valentine's Day, Going the Distance, How To Be Single, The Terminator     Scott Nye    

Drew Barrymore, like The Terminator, refuses to be stopped. She beat the child actor stigma, navigating a very successful career throughout her teens and twenties, and now in her thirties is continuing her run as a producer and, least expectedly of all, a surprisingly remarkable director.

Her first feature, 2009's "Whip It," was the rare film about girls that didn't talk down to them, but also didn't make its characters into ridiculously confident stereotypes of female empowerment.

Justin Bieber may be growing up, but his new wax figure at Madame Tussauds in London will always share the likeness of the 17-year old today.

His image is built-to-scale and includes one of his signature looks: a sported red and black fannel shirt, black pants and Chuck Taylor-sneakers.

“TWINS! Lol” Bieber tweeted with a photo near the statue on Tuesday during the unveiling ceremony.

Poor Pink.

Being preggars can be rough enough.

Throw in an awful haircut and you’ve got a long nine-month haul ahead.

According to UsMagazine, Pink was seen at the Los Angeles premiere of the movie, "The Lincoln Lawyer” rocking the newest hair trend – a gray-blond pixie cut.

Pink apparently disagrees with the magazine’s approval.

Vanessa Hudgens is getting worked up over naked pictures – again.

Fresh images from a previous released batch of naked pictures have surfaced of the 22-year old. The shots, which first hit the web in 2007, show Hudgens fully nude in provocative poses. In some shots, she is also allegedly kissing Zoey 101 Star Alexa Nikolas.

According to PopEater, critics note that the photos have a strange knack for timing: they only seem to come out when Hudgens is promoting an upcoming movie.

Sure, there's a lot of singing and dancing (and, lately, making out) on "Glee," but the show isn't just there to wave jazz hands in your face. There's always a message, isn't there?

Take, for example, an especially touching episode from last year in which Becky (played by Lauren Potter) was hounded by Sue Sylvester, and it was later revealed that Sue had an older sister with Down's Syndrome.

Netflix Hits Back Against Facebook, Has a 'House of Cards' Up Its Sleeve

Last week, Facebook announced that it had teamed up with Warner Bros. to start offering digital video rentals (and eventually purchases) through streaming content. Netflix stocks immediately plunged as experts predicted that the social media giant would take a large chunk of Netflix's market share. But Netflix isn't out of the fight yet. The red envelope pushers announced they are in the process of acquiring the upcoming TV drama "House of Cards" starring Kevin Spacey and directed by David Fincher ("The Social Network").

Playgirl is offering $10,000 to anyone who can provide them with a naked picture of CNN’s Anderson Cooper.

Anderson, who has been in-and-out of political quagmires lately, is on top of their “Top 10 Guys We Want To See Naked” list, which is included in their March issue.

"He's got this charisma that a lot of our readers are attracted to, plus now he's all muscled, [so] he's not only smart but also hot," Daniel Nardicio told PopEater’s Rob Shuter.

'Daredevil' Reboot Promises to Not Be Terrible
March 16, 2011 @ 5:00 am PST    Daredevil, Elektra, Eclipse     Andy Neuenschwander    

Some people, myself included, think that the Ben Affleck "Dardevil" movie got a worse rap than it deserved. It wasn't a good movie, but it certainly could have been worse. It could have been "Elektra."

Now, 20th Century Fox faces a dilemma: they can either reboot the "Daredevil" franchise and make a new movie, or they can let the rights go back to Marvel (who now has their own movie studio and would probably love to have Daredevil back).

Alec Baldwin Leaves Troubled 'Men In Black III'
March 16, 2011 @ 5:00 am PST    Men in Black II     Andy Neuenschwander    

Barry Sonnenfeld's "Men In Black III" has a list of troubles so long that it could reach another planet: the schedule was planned so that the first act would be shot in November, then a hiatus would follow allowing the writing team to finish the script (yes, they shot the first act with an unfinished script), then the rest of production would follow.

It's no small wonder that now there are debates over the script and production has slowed to a halt.

LeAnn Rimes to Star in New CMT Made-For TV Movie Endeavor
March 16, 2011 @ 4:00 am PST    CMT Music Awards, 24     Andy Neuenschwander    

Country Music Television (CMT) is the place to go for all things country music, but it will soon be the place to go for movies as well! CMT has announced that it will produce two made-for-TV movies: "To the Mat" and "Reel Love."

"To the Mat," with stars Ricky Schroeder ("24") and Laura Bell Bundy ("Legally Blonde: The Musical"), will tell the story of an ex-wrestler trying to keep his southern wrestling school in business by involving a New York consultant.
