Actress Megan Fox is set to star in the upcoming film The Crossing. 

Screen Gems says the actress will star as the lead in the border thriller “The Crossing.”

Byron Willinger and Philip de Blasi penned the pic, in which a couple returning from a Mexican vacation is carjacked and the husband kidnapped. The wife (Fox) must smuggle heroin across the border in order to spring him.

Boy she’s just piling up the work nowadays, lucky for her Michael Bay put her career on this path.

Here’s the trailer for the new action-heist film, Armored.

This movie looks like a nice new spin on the heist film, but will it deliver? Time will tell.

I’m Nick Wolfwood, and I’m counting down all this summer’s movie releases, big and small, weekend by weekend from May 1st – August 28th.

Here’s what opens on June 19th:

Year One

Starring: Jack Black, Michael Cera, Olivia Wilde, June Diane Raphael, David Cross, Juno Temple, Oliver Platt, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Hank Azaria

What it’s about: When a couple of lazy hunter-gatherers (Black and Cera) are banished from their primitive village, they set off on an epic journey through the ancient world.

Rating: R

Thoughts: This actually looks like it could be pretty funny, quite a set of comedians here. This movie reminds me of Mel Brooks History of the World: Part One.

My Life in Ruins

Starring: Richard Dreyfuss, Nia Vardalos, Harland Williams, Caroline Goodall, Rachel Dratch

What it’s about: A travel guide rediscovers her romantic side on a trip around Greece.

Rating: R

Thoughts: This movie is standard faire romantic comedy, Nia Vardalos seems permanently stuck in this genre after her breakthrough My Big Fat Greek Wedding. This looks nowhere near that quality. 

~

The Proposal

Starring: Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds, Mary Steenburgen, Craig T. Nelson, Betty White

What it’s about: A pushy boss forces her young assistant to marry her in order to keep her Visa status in the U.S. and avoid deportation to Canada.

Rating: PG-13

Thoughts: Now, much of the time movies like this don’t have my interest, but this movie actually looks really funny, the whole cast is great! How can you go wrong with Betty White?  

~

Cheri

Starring: Michelle Pfeiffer, Kathy Bates, Rupert Friend, Felicity Jones, Frances Tomelty

What it’s about: A romantic drama set in 1920s Paris, where the son of a courtesan retreats into a fantasy world after being forced to end his relationship with the older woman who educated him in the ways of love.

Rating: R

Thoughts: The whole ‘romantic drama, 1920s’ is just about enough to turn me off to this movie. Throw in the extra cheesy aspects that this seems to include and just count me out. No thank you.

~

Whatever Works

Starring: Henry Cavill, Evan Rachel Wood, Patricia Clarkson, Kristen Johnston, Michael McKean, Larry David

What it’s about: An eccentric man (Larry David) runs into a girl from the South named Melodie (Evan Rachel Wood). The two of them, joined by Melodie’s mother and father, get into a series of highly improbable, far out, romantic entanglements.

Rating: PG-13

Thoughts: On the surface this movie doesn’t sound that great, but if you like Woody Allen movies I’ll probably be pretty entertaining for you.

When I saw these photos, I couldn’t help but think that Candy Spelling looks like a piece of candy.  Am I wrong?

Candy was out and about in Los Angeles yesterday dressed in a very orange outfit complete with a matching striped scarf tied to her bright orange bag.  I think I am getting a sugar high just looking at these photos.

Candy has been blabbing about how she never sees her grandchildren and how she’s never actually met Stella.  Of course she blames Tori far all of it.  The woman is nuts.  Go back to “Candyland” and leave Tori alone!

Kylie Minogue looks absolutely adorable in her glittery pink stilettos and pink Wiggles shirt.  Kylie is teaming up with The Wiggles guys to support UNICEF.  The Wiggles were appointed the UNICEF Australia Goodwill Ambassadors last year.

This awesome group is working on a fun new rendition of Toots & The Maytals classic Monkey.  I think it will rock!  I love The Wiggles!

All the proceeds from the song will be donated to UNICEF.  That is so cool.  I love to see celebrities out there working for a wonderful cause.

Amanda Bynes was looking very happy and gorgeous as always at the premiere of 17 Again in Los Angeles at Grauman’s Chinese Theater on Tuesday.

Amanda looked like she was having a wonderful time and was even signing autographs for some very happy fans.

I am wondering when we will see Amanda back on the big screen.  It’s been quite a stretch without her and I think it’s time for some new flicks……  Amanda, where are you?

Yay, yay, YAY!  I am so excited!  I love Tori Spelling and have since 90210 got started.  After reading her first book, sTori Telling and watching her and Dean’s show Home Sweet Hollywood I just loved her all the more.  Tori is a real mom, a real wife, real woman and she’s got so much to offer.

So the happy news is that Tori and Dean are going to be making a made for TV movie!  Yay!  They produce and star in it, excellent!  A romantic comedy with Tori and Dean?  I’m so there!

As if that wasn’t enough, this hot couple will be giving out lots of great advice on Mr & Mrs Makeover where they will give couples makeover on the inside and outside.  Fun!  I can’t wait to see all this!  It’s going to be fantabulous!

So, go get Tori’s latest book, Mommywood. Then get ready for the fourth season of Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood coming up on May 26th on Oxygen.

Jennifer Love Hewitt is looking absolutely amazing for the May 2009 cover of Maxim magazine. Jennifer has been dealing with self-esteem issues and people scrutinizing her for her weight. She says this third Maxim cover is helping her deal with those demons.

“It’s nice to have the Maxims of the world out there. You can look at them when you’re 80 and be like, ‘See? No, really, I was cute. I promise!’ “

She says she’s also drawn to funny and geeky guys. I know I have fallen for a couple of them myself. There’s nothing like brains and wit.

“The two biggest things are being trustworthy and funny. Humor doesn’t fade. If you’re a funny person, you will always be a funny person. I’m all about geeks. They’re funny, so that’s a big plus. Also, geeks are usually humble. They don’t have to be the person in the room with the coolest shirt.”

I am loving this photo spread she did for the magazine. But did they do something a bit overdone to her face? Her lips look funny!

See photos from her other two photo shoots here>>>

I always enjoy Lost’s episode titles.  Did you see Lost last night?  What do you think about these last few episodes?  Do you think there is any chance that we will have some questions answered?  Maybe get a little bit of closure?  Well, we can always keep our fingers crossed!

Here is the very enjoyable recap from ABC.com in case you missed last night…. I actually like to read up on them even if you did watch, it helps to reprocess everything!

Twitter is the new black these days. You can find just about anyone on there now. And now gossip sites write about things that celebrities say on Twitter instead of actually having to get interviews. That makes it awesome!

Katie Couric has certain feelings about Twitter saying it’s inane…

“I Twitter and blog very selectively,” she said. “I don’t think anybody gives a rat’s ass whether I am about to eat a tuna sandwich. I don’t even care. Some of it is so inane and narcissistic and bizarre I don’t quite get it. I don’t know why anyone would want to read it, much less why I would want to write it.”

I guess Katie doesn’t know that people eat this stuff up. I would love to know that John Mayer was eating a tuna sandwich! But Katie goes on to say that she’s read blogs and their sometimes cruel comments people leave behind.

“I read the comments section on Internet sites and I am absolutely appalled by the level of ignorance. These are the kinds of letters that secretaries used to get in newsrooms and throw in circular files because they were complete lunatics. And now they live on in perpetuity, because they have a forum, and I think some of that is really damaging to civil discourse and our ability to have a civil conversation about certain issues.”

I guess that’s what people like about comments, anyone can have their say. And really it’s the favorite part of my day to see what comments people are leaving. Is Katie off her rocker or just refusing to get with the 2009′s?
