Casting news for the tentatively-titled "Superman: Man of Steel" continues to come through slowly, bit by bit, like a rumor-dispensing faucet with a slight leak. Diane Lane is the newest name to join the large list of actors considered for roles, and just the second one confirmed: Lane will play Martha Kent, Superman's adoptive mother.
That makes the official cast for the Zack Snyder reboot a long list of two, with Henry Cavill as Superman and Lane as his mother.
No, this image isn't a sign that you'll be seeing Jeff Bridges and Penelope Cruz in a live-action version of "Beauty and the Beast" anytime soon. Instead, the photo is the work of Annie Leibovitz, who occasionally does photo shoots for Disney re-imagining classic animated films with Hollywood stars in the title roles. The photos are used as advertisements for Disney parks.
Leibovitz is one of the most famous and prolific photographers working today, having featured tons of work in publications like Rolling Stone.
Sure, "The Vampire Diaries" has vampires, witchcraft, and other supernatural stuff, but the people behind the show know what their bread and butter is: steamy love triangles.
Originally, the show was all about the Stefan/Elena/Damon triangle, but another tricky romance soon emerged between Matt, Caroline, and Tyler. A human, vampire, and werewolf involved in a love triangle.
Since "The Academy Awards" aired Sunday night, James Franco has been catching hella flack for his performance.. or lack there of.
Critics are saying that Franco and his cohost, Anne Hathaway, were "boring" and "uninspiring."
Fox News went so far as to say Franco was "spectacularly bad" and could have possibly been under the influence of a little herb known as Mary Jane.
Feeling like hitting the theater this weekend? Here is your comprehensive lineup of movies debuting in wide release March 4th, 2011:
"Rango" - A family comedy about a pet chameleon named Rango who finds himself living in the Old West. The film feature the voices of Johnny Depp, Isla Fisher, Bill Nighy, and Abigail Breslin. Rated PG
"Take Me Home Tonight" - An adult comedy set in the '80s about a group of friends moving aimlessly though life and one epic night that will change their lives.
30 years ago, the film was considered a failure. Now it's a franchise.
Don't worry, sci-fi aficionados, Alcon Entertainment is only securing the rights to sequels, prequels, TV adaptations, and spin-offs. In other words: No remakes.
This is a big grab for a company that's most successful film is "The Blind Side," which was a huge box office success and earned Sandra Bullock an Academy Award.
Sometimes it takes one to know one, and if anyone knows a losing game, it's Harvey Weinstein.
He may be back up to the top with the Academy Award juggernaut "The King's Speech (assuming a pesky lawsuit doesn't drag him down), but it wasn't so long ago that Disney was throwing him out of his own company when they seized control of Miramax. Weinstein fought a long, hard battle to try to hold onto his company, but he found out what we all find out sooner or later - you can't fight The Man.
When all else fails, aim for the wallet.
That's apparently the strategy of the Parent's Television Council, the family-focused watchdog group that's been on nothing less than a jihad against the MTV show "Skins."
While poor ratings may end up doing the show in anyway, the group apparently wants to twist the knife further, after it's last campaign managed to drive a slew of advertisers from the show.
Like father, like daughter... or is it like daughter, like father?
Either way, Radaronline.com is reporting that Lindsay Lohan's father, Michael, has signed on for the next season of "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew."
Lohan exclusively told the outlet, "I am sorry that my father has continually chosen to speak publicly about our relationship, my mother, my siblings, and my professional team.
Last night on "Modern Family" it was all about learning. Learning to trust that your partner won't leave when the going gets rough, learning to say only agreeable things to your better half when she's bitching about this-and-that, and learning to believe that your hot wife won't remarry when you're good and dead.
The only one who walked away empty-handed was Phil, which was a sad ending to such a relaxing day.
