Jeremy Renner to Star as Hawkeye in Thor?
27 November 2009 8:16 AM, PST
Empire is reporting that The Hurt Locker star Jeremy Renner might appear at the end of Thor as Hawkeye.
"Hawkeye could be interesting," he told them. "They're going to send me some stuff on it, see what it is, but I think they're pretty awesome, trying to make superhero movies almost plausible and not just some fantasy thing."
It seems that Hawkeye might appear at the end of Thor, similar to Samuel L. Jackson's appearance at the end of Iron Man. It seems that appearance could pave the way for Hawkman to appear in The Avengers as well.

Another Amityville Horror Remake?
25 November 2009 6:48 PM, PST
Bloody-Disgusting has found out that Weinstein Company and Dimension Films are planning another remake of The Amityville Horror, with a director already in talks to helm.
Here is what they had to say:
I just finished wiping away the tears of laughter as I just discovered that the Weinstein Company and Dimension Films are planning on remaking The Amityville Horror...again. Andrew Douglas directed the 2005 reboot produced by Platinum Dunes that grossed over $100m at the box office worldwide. I guess five years in the new 25? Our sources also tell us that there just might be a director already in talks to develop the project. Knowing Dimension Films, I'd expect this project to start and stop at least a dozen times before it ultimately fails. Alas horror fiends, don't stress it no matter how idiotic this sounds.
The original 1979 film was based on a true story that was claimed by writer Jay Anson.

Confessions of A TV Junkie: Adam Lambert Leaves It All in the Gutter
25 November 2009 5:10 PM, PST
So, by now, the notorious Mr. Lambert's overtly homosexual shock antics watched by millions during his Ama performance Sunday night are old news. For those of you who haven't yet seen it (who Are you, anyway?)...it's already been taken off-line by the no-doubt tireless efforts of the 'copyright police'.
If you haven't had the opportunity to check it out, the bottom line is that he performed a gratuitous crotch-rub into some leather-clad male dancer's face to imitate a blowjob and proceeded to try to one-up Madonna and Britney in the tongue-lashing department.
Shocking? Sure...
Now, I've now read both sides of the issue.
The conservative right are out trashing him.
The gay pride nazis are holding up their phallic salute and praising his resolve and openness.
Simon Cowell? Strangely silent, but one can imagine he's Jekyll and Hyde, at once relishing the controversy and cringing from the optics of it all.

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy to Appear in Woody Allen's Next Project
25 November 2009 6:02 AM, PST
France's first lady and former supermodel, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, has agreed to be in Woody Allen's next film.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Bruni-Sarkozy doesn't know what role Allen has in store for her and admits she could be a terrible actress.
Allen "asked me to be in his next film," she said on Canal Plus television, where she appeared for an interview and duet with crooner Harry Connick Jr.
Asked if he had told her what part she would play, Bruni-Sarkozy replied: "No. But I said 'yes'... I do everything a little bit blindly. If I don't, I won't do anything."
"I'm not at all an actress. Maybe I'll be absolutely terrible," she added.
Bruni-Sarkozy, now a singer-songwriter, has largely shelved her concert tour plans to make way for her responsibilities as France's first lady.
No production date has been announced.

Boos! & Whoop-doos!: 2nd Annual Giving of Thanks Spectacular!
25 November 2009 5:30 AM, PST
2nd Annual Happy Giving of Thanks? Whoop-doo!
In this business, people are too often found shitting all over their eagerly anticipated big budget releases. They never take the time to step back and say, "Wow! You made my day worthwhile, Mr. Entertainment Maker." We, as a critical community would rather bark obscenities than take a moment to say, "Thanks!" And truly mean it! So, in light of our biggest and best buffet holiday, The Whoop-Doo Nation would like to give a few very thankful shout-outs before presenting Spooker Washington's annual Happy Giving of Thanks Special, which we hope becomes an institution as revered as Peanuts: A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. Here we go:
Thank-doo, V! For not completely sucking.
Thank-doo, Ed O'Neill! For coming back and proving why you're still The Man!
Thank-doo, Bobcat Goldthwait! For proving that a director can still make a hilariously dark drama full of fresh ideas.

Ryan Reynolds Discusses Green Lantern and Deadpool
25 November 2009 5:26 AM, PST
MTV recently spoke with actor Ryan Reynolds, who's having one hell of a 2009, starring in two of the 10 highest grossing films of the year with X-Men Origins: Wolverine and The Proposal. The site asked him about playing the lead in two upcoming superhero films, Green Lantern and Deadpool. Here's what he had to say about Green Lantern below.
I've known about Green Lantern my whole life, but I've never really followed it before. I fell in love with the character when I met with [director] Martin Campbell. When I sat down with him, I really got what it is that this guy is all about. When you have a guy like Martin Campbell, part of his charm is that he has ba--s of titanium, and the other part is that he's slightly crazy, and you have to be to take on something with the scope of Green Lantern. He's less of
