Penn, Carrey, Del Toro are a bunch of “Stooges”

3stooges

MGM and the Farrelly brothers are closing in on their cast for “The Three Stooges.”

Studio has set Sean Penn to play Larry, and negotiations are underway with Jim Carrey to play Curly, with the actor already making plans to gain 40 pounds to approximate the physical dimensions of Jerome “Curly” Howard.

The studio is zeroing in on Benicio Del Toro to play Moe.

The film is not a biopic, but rather a comedy built around the antics of the three characters that Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Howard played in the Columbia Pictures shorts.

Man, this idea sounds terrible. Although in Holloywood, you never know. These are 3 great actors, but like the recent waste-of-time I saw was forced to watch, The Women was full of A-list and maybe the worst movie I haven’t walked out of… because I couldn’t.

Jennifer Hudson comes back a winner to American Idol

The girl whose career rocketed to stardom after NOT winning ‘American Idol’ is returning to the series that voted her out. Jennifer Hudson, the Oscar-winning actress and singer, will reportedly be making a special appearance on the highly-popular FOX series. The Associated Press reports that someone close to the show revealed she will perform not live, but in a taped segment to appear in an upcoming episode. @ NY Daily News

It’s amazing the year that Jennifer Hudson has had. The Super Bowl, the DNC, some weird BET Award, etc. Unfortunately in her mind, I’m sure it may also be her worst. I think Idol has realized this season that big name stars alone were not going to bring back their ratings to astronomical heights. I see this as not only a marketing tool for former Idol contestants, but also Idol’s way of bringing back old characters much like they do on soaps. Don’t ask me how I know that. Here’s the Star-Spangled Banner vid from this year’s Super Bowl, I know you’ll enjoy it.

Find your new trailer… Where The Wild Things Are.

That’s about as clever a title I could come up with. Usually I’m pretty good though! Let me tell you again how incredible this movie looks. I’m actually considering the purchase of the book before it comes out as a refresher. Grab a handful of popcorn and enjoy.

Cleveland Rocks! …for Kanye West anyways.

Kanye West has received high praise for his comic timing while recording a guest spot as the less-than-stellar rapper Kenny West in the forthcoming”Family Guy” spin-off,”The Cleveland Show”.

West’s first foray into animated comedy as rapper Kenny West will feature in an episode of the new sitcom alongside Oscar-nominated fellow guest-star Taraji P. Henson.

@ NY Daily News

No doubt that amongst Peter, Stewie and Brian, Cleveland is one of my favorite characters on Family Guy and is certainly deserving of his own show. There is no doubt I will enjoy it as much as FG, and maybe even more than American Dad. We’ll see how Kanye’s performance goes. Most guest stars are very obvious and seem out of place (Simpsons), but according to the article, they’d love for him to be a regular on the show.

Pixar is “Up” first at Cannes

PARIS — Pixar’s 3-D toon, “Up,” co-helmed by “Monsters, Inc.” director Pete Docter, will open the 62nd Cannes Film Festival.

Co-helmed and produced by Bob Peterson, “Up,” about a 78-year-old who teams with a wilderness ranger to fight beasts and villains, will be the first toon ever to unspool in 3-D at the opening ceremony.

“Up” will bow in the U.S. on May 29.

This year’s edition of the Cannes film fest runs May 13-24.

@ Variety

I don’t know of any Pixar movie I haven’t been excited about. Toy Story is by far my favorite, and features my favorite Disney character Buzz Lightyear. This looks like another amazing movie securing Disney/Pixar’s spot as the leader in feature animation. As it should be. See you opening weekend!

Drew Barrymore is anything but “Grey”

293greygardenslr031809

We got an exclusive first look at the colorful one-sheet featuring Drew Barrymore as real-life Little Edie Beale and Jessica Lange as her mother, Big Edie circa 1973. The Beales, who were relatives of Jackie Onassis, made headlines when they were discovered living as recluses in a decrepit East Hampton, NY mansion.

@ E!

Drew Barrymore has been doing the rounds on the talk shows about her latest project, Grey Gardens this week. She even Licked It For Ten on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon with whom she is really close to ever since they did First Pitch together. This sounds like an interesting story, one where life is stranger than fiction, I hope they do it justice.

FYI,  Oscar-winning actress Jessica Lange receives treatment for a broken collar bone sustained at her home in Minnesota. We hope she recovers soon.

http://twitpic.com/28id1 – ZACHERY QUINTO AS SPOCK!

@wendilynnmakeup

One of my favorite Tweeple has done it again! I’m not sure where she got this picture, but it’s certainly a rare candid of Zachary Quinto in Spock makeup, yet dressed casually in a very sweeeet Star Trek button-up shirt not likely to be a costume from the movie. In the mean time, Rosy will continue to drool at the very thought of ZQ being featured in GQ’s April issue. Standby for pictures…
