Music star Mary J. Blige has been cast in Tyler Perry‘s next comedy I Can Do Bad All By Myself.

The film, which is adapted from one of his early plays, is about a woman named Madea whose family comes to visit her when she falls ill. 

Blige will play nightclub manager Tanya who is best friends with Henson’s character, named April. This is Mary’s first on-screen appearance since her 2007 stint on Entourage. And we hear through Billboard that she’ll be appearing on a popular primetime TV series this year as well. Details will be announced at a later date.

He just keeps cranking out those Medea movies, Mary J is a great artist she’ll be a good addition to the film.

George Lucas hasn’t stopped working on movies, he’s exec producing a new film called Red Tails. Actor Tristan Wilds has been cast in the war film. 

Tristan Wilds (The CW’s “90210″) has been cast in the World War II drama Red Tails, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The film, written by John Ridley and directed by Anthony Hemingway, details the true story of the 332nd Fighter Group, an elite all-black unit of escort pilots known as the Red Tails.

Wilds will play Ray “Ray Gun” Knight, a flyboy nearly blinded over Nazi-occupied Italy who becomes the wingman of his friend and cohort, Marty. The two face the prejudice of the U.S. military as much as the overseas enemy but end up establishing an unprecedented record.

It would have sounded better if they hadn’t cast an actor from a bad show.

Catherine Hardwicke, director of the film Twilight has secured another job directing the film If I Stay.

“Twilight” director Catherine Hardwicke and Summit Entertainment have made up, with the helmer signing on for the company’s fantasy-drama “If I Stay.”Despite the success of “Twilight” with $380 million in worldwide grosses, Hardwicke and Summit had parted ways in December over her helming “New Moon,” the second “Twilight” installment. Chris Weitz then took the “New Moon” assignment.

I wasn’t impressed by her work on the film Twilight, but I really liked the lesser known Thirteen.

Star of the new film Star Trek Chris Pine has reportedly been offered the role of The Green Lantern.

It all kicked off with IESB reporting that the new James T. Kirk himself, actor Chris Pine, has been sent an offer to star in the titular role of Hal Jordan in the upcoming big screen adaptation of “The Green Lantern.”

Pine’s publicist Melissa Kates is on vacation and thus was not available for comment, but the site cites a “very reliable source inside WB” with the news.

Soon after Latino Review says their sources have confirmed that the ‘official offer’ is out to Pine. Then Collider says their sources have denied any such report.

So this is still technically a rumor but it sounds like it could be a reality. We’ll know for sure soon.

The third film in the Ben Stiller driven Meet The Parents trilogy Little Fockers might be getting Pete Segal to direct. 

Pete Segal has emerged as the frontrunner to direct “Little Fockers,” the third installment in the Universal Pictures/Tribeca Prods. franchise.

Segal was expecting to return as the director of “Get Smart 2″ this year but became available when Steve Carell instead made a deal to team with Tina Fey in the Shawn Levy-directed comedy “Date Night” for Fox.

Personally I don’t really have a lot of hope in this movie being a stellar experience, so this news is less than exciting to me.

Here’s some of the article from Time Magazine from the man who saw actual footage from the upcoming James Cameron film, more than 10 years in the making, Avatar.

More than a thousand people have worked on it, at a cost in excess of $300 million, and it represents digital filmmaking’s bleeding edge. Cameron wrote the treatment for it in 1995 as a way to push his digital-production company to its limits. The movie pioneers two unrelated technologies–e-motion capture, which uses images from tiny cameras rigged to actors’ heads to replicate their expressions, and digital 3-D.

I couldn’t tell what was real and what was animated–even knowing that the 9-ft.-tall blue, dappled dude couldn’t possibly be real. The scenes were so startling and absorbing that the following morning, I had the peculiar sensation of wanting to return there, as if Pandora were real.

Sounds almost creepy, this movie will probably change the way we watch movies forever. Look for it this December in IMAX 3D.

VERY exciting news today for all Michael Jackson fans and admirers alike.  The former “King of Pop” is requesting that his fans choose his set list to be performed throughout his summer reign at the UK’s O2 Arena!  Click here to lay down your picks!  But hurry, all votes must be recieved by Tuesday March 24th!

Also, confirmation has come that these final performances will be taped for later use, which means probably a ridiculously over-priced (but still worth it!) box set of hits and a DVD of the concert.  The man needs to recoop all the funds he can!!!
