TMZ is reporting that ESPN has fired their analyst, Steve Phillips after he had an affair with 22 year production assistant, Brooke Hundley. Click here for full details.
An ESPN spokesperson said Phillips’ ability to be an effective analyst was “significantly and irreparably damaged” and has therefore been fired.
Wow. I guess someone out there should start taking notes….it’s pretty simple though. Don’t have affairs with your co-workers. Nothing good ever comes from it. Is it really hard to keep it professional. Just ask David Letterman!
By the way….is anyone else wondering where the attraction was here? Hmmmmmm…..

Here are the first shots of Seth Rogen in The Green Hornet wearing the costume.
It looks so much like the old Green Hornet show it’s almost disappointing, but at least we get a look at the funky gun. This movie should be a lot of fun.

Rumor has it that Leonardo DiCaprio could be starring in a remake of The Third Man.
File this one under rumor, but it’s a pretty solid rumor or I wouldn’t be running it. This is still early enough in the game that it could all fall apart, but it’s also late enough in the game that it could be officially announced in a week or two.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire might be starring in a remake of the classic Carol Reed film The Third Man, which is being written by EasternPromises screenwriter Steven Knight. The package comes from Canal Plus and it’s going out for bidding, and the bidding is likely to be fierce. That’s a hell of a line-up, after all. And it’s before they have a director in place.
If the rumors turn out to be true, this will be a big movie, especially if they get a big name director attached. I’ll keep you posted as news unfolds.

J.J. Abrams talked to MTV about the Star Trek sequel and how to approach it. Here’s the audio clip of him talking about it.
What’s the bigger challenge: rebooting an iconic sci-fi franchise that had lapsed into disrepair, like an interstellar spacecraft whose warp drive missed a couple of tune-ups and could no longer handle faster-than-light-speed travel? Or following up that triumphant reboot with a flick that not only proves to be a worthy successor, but which sets fanboys’ geek phasers on “Oh, hell yeah!”?
Such is the conundrum facing “Star Trek” director J.J. Abrams and his creative team as they begin to brainstorm ideas for a sequel to May’s $258 million-grossing hit. “The first one did what it was required to do, which was bring the family together and reset,” Abrams explained in an interview with MTV News. “It was a bridge, no pun intended, between what came before, what the ‘Star Trek’ people knew and the ‘Star Trek’ of now. And that was the heavy lifting of the first film.”
After the phenomenal success of the first film, the pressure is higher than ever to make a worthy sequel and continue the story on the level it was rebooted at. I’m looking forward to seeing what they can do next.

Here’s the first trailer for the upcoming Pixar sequel Toy Story 3.
As much as I want to be excited by this trailer I’m just not, I’m hoping the next trailer will give us a better idea what the movie is about. In any case it’ll probably be great, it is a Pixar film after all.

Here’s a new video from ABC News Australia with Mad Max 4: Fury Road Director George Miller showing off the new cars and talking about casting the film.
So even though the movie is being worked on, from the sounds of it, shooting won’t even begin until late next year. Don’t expect this one in theaters until 2011.

There’s a remake underway of My Fair Lady and Keira Knightley is playing the lead.
Mandrake hears that the 24-year-old actress has beaten Scarlett Johansson to the part of Eliza Doolittle in a new film adaptation of My Fair Lady.
Her victory comes as I can disclose that Joe Wright, who inspired Knightley to her best performance, in Pride and Prejudice, has been chosen to direct the film.
“Joe and Keira are looking forward to working together again immensely,” says a friend of the 37-year-old director.
Remakes are inevitable, this movie has already been on stage and screen in different incarnations in the past. There’s also a rumor that Daniel Craig may end up playing Henry Higgins, the other lead. Could make for some entertaining stuff.

Here are some brand new on-set images and a video from The Other Guys, which is being shot in New York with Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson.
Set in New York City, The Other Guys follows Detective Allen Gamble (Ferrell), a forensic accountant who’s more interested in paperwork than hitting the streets, and Detective Terry Hoitz (Wahlberg), who has been stuck with Allen as his partner ever since an embarrassing public incident with his quick trigger finger. Allen and Terry idolize the city’s top cops, Danson and Manzetti (Dwayne Johnson and Samuel L.Jackson), but when an opportunity arises for the Other Guys to step up, things don’t quite go as planned.
The cast includes Eva Mendes as Sheila, Allen’s incredibly plain wife; Michael Keaton as Captain Mauch; and Steve Coogan as billionaire investment banker David Ershon. Ray Stevenson, Rob Riggle, Damon Wayans Jr. and Lindsay Sloane round out the supporting cast.
This movie doesn’t sound very exciting but that stunt looked great! Hopefully there’s more of a hook to the story than what the basic description gives.
