Defiance Trailer

Not only do we get Daniel Craig as Bond next month, but we get a possible Oscar nod role in Defiance. Defiance's release date has been pushed to late December for the Oscar season. Love Liev Shreiber, too, and glad to see him getting such a great role. Looks even more awesome than I'd hoped from what I'd heard about it.

Orlando Bloom called...

Uhmmm…..

Orlando Bloom called, sweetie.

He wants his Lord of the Rings hair back!

Too funny!

Was There Too Much Sex And Profanity In The HBO Presidential Debate?

Don Cheadle In, Terrence Howard Out in Iron Man 2

WTF??

Don Cheadle is stepping in to replace Terrence Howard in "Iron Man 2," Marvel Studios' sequel to its summer blockbuster.

In the movie, Howard played Jim Rhodes, Tony Stark/Iron Man's best friend and future armor-clad hero War Machine. One scene featured Howard looking at a silver suit of armor and saying "Next time," a line that caused great delight for fans.

But there will be no next time for Howard.

Marvel had no comment, but sources close to the deal said negotiations with Howard fell through over financial differences, among other reasons. Marvel, which had wanted to work with Cheadle, then decided to take the role in another direction and approached the actor, who is shooting Antoine Fuqua's "Brooklyn's Finest" with Richard Gere and Ethan Hawke.

Rhodes is expected to play a larger part in the sequel, which is rumored to go beyond high-tech villains.

It's not that I don't like Don Cheadle, because I do. Just how much was Terrence asking for anyway? Well, kudos to Don Cheadle to bringing on the War Machine. Bottom line is that Jon Favreau is still directing!

Ricky Gervais on list for possible Oscar Hosts

WENN reports:

Ricky Gervais has confirmed he is slated to present the 2009 Academy Awards - after Oscars bosses denied he had been approached.

The Office star was rumoured to be in the frame for the prestigious job, but awards ceremony chiefs insisted last month that there had been "no reaching out" for a presenter.

Gervais has now confirmed he is on a list of potential hosts for the annual ceremony, to be held in February - but doubts he will be chosen.

He says, "It is true, but the Oscars people are just compiling a list of folk - I could be millionth on the list.

"I did hear there was a rumour going around and my agent actually got a couple of calls about it so he checked it out. Apparently I'm on a list but I'm not sure what list exactly. I hope it's not a sex offenders register!"

I think Ricky Gervais would be hilarious. His ability to provoke extremely uncomfortable moments with celebrities in Extras could make for a very interesting show! I wonder who else is on the short list since we have new producers this year.

Bedtime Stories - with Russell and Adam

Janene alerted me that we don't have to wait until 2009 to see Russell. He's in Adam Sandler's upcoming Bedtime Stories due out Christmas Day. Adam and Russell in the same movie -- could be some very, very funny mayhem!
