Hugh Jackman doesn’t want to host the Oscars again next year.

The thesp, who’s starring on Broadway with Daniel Craig in the drama “A Steady Rain,” quietly turned down the job within the past few weeks, sources said.

Jackman drew praise for his first Oscar hosting gig in February under producer Laurence Mark and exec producer Bill Condon. He may take on hosting duties again in the future, but it’s understood that he didn’t want to do the show two years in a row.

Once his Broadway run ends, Jackman will take time off and prepare for “The Real Steel,” the Shawn Levy-directed DreamWorks drama that will begin production in the spring.

It’s not like he doesn’t have a very full plate in front of him, he’s always keeping busy. But who will host the Oscars this year? Lets the rumors begin! Who would you choose as the host the next Academy Awards?

Here’s a new full trailer for the upcoming post-apocalyptic film The Road based on the best selling book.

This movie looks like it’s going to be intense and sad, Viggo Mortensen has a way about him when he’s playing a character that just feels so real. I am really looking forward to this movie.

Reese Witherspoon is set to star in a new film called Rule #1.

Terrel Seltzer has sold her original screenplay “Rule #1″ to Fox Searchlight, with Reese Witherspoon attached to star and produce.

Brad Epstein (“About a Boy”) is producing the project, about a New York woman who befriends a Puerto Rican girl with attention deficit disorder.

Not a lot to be said about the story, but ADD can be funny… ooh cool did you just see that? … wait what were we just talking about?

Men in Black 3 was announced back in April, but now it’s moving forward with Etan Cohen, writer of Tropic Thunder penning the script.

There’s no word yet on Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones’ involvement, but I can’t imagine they would bring the franchise back without featuring them in some capacity.

Tropic Thunder was funny, but Men in Black 2 was so incredibly bad I have a hard time even caring that another one is coming. Perhaps Cohen will put something together that’s fresh, it’s a universe that can easily be tapped for some great stories, it’s just a matter of actually telling one.

The fans demanded it and the studio is delivering, Twilight is coming back to theaters one day before the release of it’s sequel The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

Summit Entertainment announced today that they are re-releasing Twilight out in theaters on November 19th, which is the day before New Moon comes out.

They said in a statement, “Despite the first film already being on DVD, fans across the nation have been calling out to see the film once again on the big screen, and the studio is honoring their request.”

I’m actually pretty curious how much the movie will make being back in theaters, this will be a true test of the super-fans. This reminds me of the re-releasing of The Lord of the Rings films in theaters before The Return of the King, but in comparison on a pre-school level.

Playboy model and PeTA poster girl Pamela Anderson sent tongues wagging on Wednesday (October 28) when she stepped out of her London hotel in a clingy dress that displayed a prominent tummy. Could the centerfold be pregnant again?

If you take the word of one of her friends, fashion designer Richie Rich, she is not expecting a bundle of joy any time soon.

“She’s not pregnant, not broke and just happy,”

So, why is Rich speaking out about the rumors and not Pamela?

“She doesn’t have to say anything because they’re not true,” he said. “She actually gets upset because her kids go to school. Of course, she cares. She’s a human being. We’re all human. We just poop glitter that’s the only difference.”

Rich then continued to run off why Pamela is the ideal soccer mom.

“Pam is the real deal,” he told Us. “She’s an icon, and she lives her life, and people can say this or that – most of the time it’s not true. I think Pamela represents a big responsibility in being a cool person. And that’s why I like her. She’s cool, and I’d want her to be my soccer mom!”

Pamela Anderson already has two children with ex-husband Tommy Lee.

The beloved Ewoks from the world of the Star Wars films decided to wreak havoc on the set of NBC’s Today show. Supposedly they were actually drunk! Check out the video!

I lost it when he did the moon walk, Michael Jackson is even know on the planet Endor apparently. I’ve always loved Ewoks, and they continue to entertain.

Congrats to Chris Daughtry! He and his killer band will be performing at the Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game for the first time in the new stadium.  Talk about a HUGE venue!

The Cowboys will be playing the less than successful Oakland Raiders so I am guessing that by halftime, the crowd will be overjoyed to hear Daughtry.

The Dallas Cowboys and The Salvation Army have celebrated the national kickoff of the Red Kettle campaign for the last 12 years, raising more than $1 billion for people in need during that time. The nationally televised game has become an annual Thanksgiving tradition for millions of football fans across the country.

I love a good cause and now we’ve got some really good music to go with it.  Rock on Daughtry!
