Deconstructing Diana: Which Hollywood Lady Will Play the Princess?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Biopics, Drama, Casting, Rumors,
One of Hollywood’s leading ladies is about to become royalty … for one movie, anyway. An upcoming Princess Diana biopic will give one actress the chance to play the iconic role.
Brit Keira Knightley is the top contender for the role, according to gossip, though blonde bombshell Scarlett Johansson is also being considered. Producers are hoping to get Helen Mirren, who played the title role in The Queen, to play Diana’s mother Frances Shand Kydd.
The movie will follow Diana's life from early childhood to her untimely 1997 death.

Anne Hathaway: Best Actress for Hollywood’s Dollar
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip,
It looks like Saturday Night Live was smart to book Anne Hathaway for her second visit. According to Forbes, the actress is worth her money and more.
Anne, who has starred in large grossers including Alice in Wonderland and Get Smart, is estimated to bring in $64 in profit for every buck spent on her. That’s the highest amount for any female based on the magazine’s set of factors.
Hathaway’s relatively small paycheck helped her score this achievement.
Curious Case of Benjamin Button star Cate Blanchett came in a distant second. The Oscar winner only returns $27 per dollar.
Tying for third are Jennifer Aniston and Meryl Streep. The romantic comedy staple and the Academy Awards fixture both pull in about $21 for each dollar.
Sex and the City’s Sarah Jessica Parker is the next ranked star with $17 per dollar.

UPDATE: White says she is not a part of the movie.
What do a Pussycat Doll and a Golden Girl have in common? They both have roles in the new Men in Black film.
The third MIB installment will not only bring back Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, it’ll include appearances from Betty White and singer/dancer Nicole Scherzinger.
Earlier this week, the former Dancing with the Stars contestant not only confirmed her participation in the upcoming sequel – she gave away a big secret about her part.
"My name is Lilly. She's like a small villain role. I'm so excited because I get to die,” Nicole revealed. “I make an appearance. I say a couple of lines and then I die."
It’s not known what role White will play in the film.
Shooting on Men in Black III will begin in December for a May 25, 2012 release.

Mission Impossible Sequel Scores a Name
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Paramount, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Sequels, Upcoming Releases,
The Dark Knight Rises wasn’t the only sequel to be named this week.
At a press conference in Dubai, Tom Cruise announced the official title for the next Mission Impossible film – while simultaneously confusing us in the process.
"One of the things I always wanted for the franchise was for it not to have a number afterwards," Cruise stated.
"I’ve never done sequels to films and I never thought of these films as sequels. Paramount has done a great job in coming up with a title, so it’s not going to be MI2, 3, 4: It’s going to be Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol."

It appears Tom Cruise and director Tony Scott will be reteaming for another flyby in theaters.

Although it was unclear what role – if any – Tom would play in the Paramount production, screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects, Valkyrie) told Vulture the film could not exist without the Navy pilot.

Family Guy Creator to Direct Mark Wahlberg … and a Teddy Bear
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: 20th Century Fox, Comedy, Casting, Upcoming Releases,
Seth MacFarlane, best known for doing almost all of the voices on (and being the creator of) Family Guy, will make his directorial debut in an upcoming film named Ted.
Here’s the rub: he’ll be directing Mark Wahlberg and a man-sized teddy bear. (And no, Ted isn’t a sequel to The Other Guys.)
Ted follows a Bostonian (Wahlberg) who wishes his teddy bear could come to life while still a young boy. The wish actually comes true, and the two stay pals as the years roll by -- but adult teddy bears, apparently, don’t make such great roommates.
MacFarlane, of course, will voice the implausible character (and we’re talking about the teddy bear).
