Newest ‘Green Lantern’ Poster Features Hector Hammond

Here’s yet another Green Lantern poster! This one features the movie’s bad guy.

Pretty much every single one of the now fifteen posters released for this movie have a character with their hands or rings creating glowing energy. This is the first one that has yellow energy instead of green, and in case you didn’t know the color yellow is the weakness of the Green Lanterns. I know, don’t get mad at me. At least this poster changes things up slightly, he’s a pretty nasty looking baddie!

Final Two Tributes Cast for ‘The Hunger Games’

The final two of the 24 young actors portraying tributes in the upcoming movie The Hunger Games have been cast, Alexander Ludwig and Isabelle Fuhrman.

Now that I’ve actually read the book my interest in this movie is incredibly higher. It’s great that they finally have all the tributes cast, I was so curious about there being twenty-four slots to fill now it makes sense. If you haven’t read the book, it’s well worth your time! I suggest you download it or buy it right away if you are looking for a great original story. I have very high hopes for this movie now. Much more news on this project to come!

Matthew McConaughey and Hilary Swank to Star in ‘Dallas Buyers Club’

Matthew McConaughey and Hilary Swank are both set to star in the upcoming movie Dallas Buyers Club.

Content Film has acquiredThe Dallas Buyers Club for international sales. That puts the picture on track to finally happen, with Matthew McConaughey and Hilary Swank starring, and Jean-Marc Vallee directing. He helmed The Young Victoria, and just wrapped Cafe de Flore. Craig Borten and Melisa Wallack wrote the screenplay. The project has long been a passion of top actors and directors. McConaughey will play a Texas electrician named Ron Woodroof. Given six months to live by his doctors in 1986 after contracting AIDS, he hung on and lived another six years by illegally smuggling medicine into the US. He made sure a lot of other sufferers got them. The spirit of the drama paints a picture at the time of powerful and unyielding bureaucrats at the Food and Drug Administration.

Sounds like a pretty intensive drama, I wonder if McConaughey is up to it. Hilary Swank fits this kind of movie, but I just don’t get the McConaughey factor. Can somebody please explain to me why he’s still in so many movies? Has he gotten better as an actor? I did hear The Lincoln Lawyer was good, but I haven’t checked it out yet.

Charlie Who? Hugh Grant Was So Close To Being On ‘Two And A Half Men’

Charlie Sheen has a lot of things going for him (or against him, depending on your take on his current situation) but one thing he no longer has is a weekly television show that is extremely profitable.

After the acrimonious split Sheen had with CBS, Warner Bros, Chuck Lorre and his former TV home Two and A Half Men; Lorre wanted to replace the actor but only if it was the right actor – someone who wouldn’t cause Lorre and the show the kind of trouble that Charlie allegedly did.

After months of speculation, Deadline has revealed that all the previous names tossed out – you know who they were: Rob Lowe, John Stamos and Woody Harrelson, for example – were all wrong. Lorre and CBS were gunning for a huge international star: Hugh Grant.

Grant had been sooo darn close to signing on the dotted line, for $1 million an episode for the full season of 24 shows. That would’ve been a very nice payday for Grant.

Unfortunately it fell through during final negotiations because Hugh isn’t up to the long episodic haul involved in television.

Such a shame – that would’ve a been brilliant casting coup. It could have put Men back on solid ratings ground, made everyone forget Charlie ever had the role and given new life to Hugh’s career.

What do you think?

Superb choice? Lousy pick? or you don’t care at all.

Lindsay Lohan Pleads No Contest To Misdemeanor Theft Charge

Lindsay Lohan has indeed entered a plea of no contest through her attorney Shawn Holley, to the misdemeanor theft charge she faced in Los Angeles court today.

Lohan was not in court today and Judge Stephanie Sautner did not order any additional jail time or community service hours for the actress, besides what Sautner sentenced to her in her parole violation hearing last month.

Lohan could serve her time at home wearing a tracking device and be under observation for as little as 14 days according to a report by TMZ. She must surrender to authorities before June 17th for her jail/confinement time.

Lindsay has already begun her 480 hours of community service (which when completed will finally clear her of her old DUI case) but she also received 3 years probation for the theft.

The 24 year-old troubled actress released a statement saying she’s ready to undergo whatever it takes to put it behind her and start fresh.

“I am glad to be able to put this past me and move on with my life and my career. I support the judge’s decision and hold myself accountable for being in this situation.”

Lohan added, “I have already started my community service at the Downtown Women’s Center and thank everyone there for their warm welcome.

She concluded, “I hope to be able to fulfill my obligation without any press attention. I think the media spotlight should be on issues such as homelessness and domestic violence instead of on me.”

Salma Hayek & Antonio Banderas: ‘Puss In Boots’ At Cannes

Puss in Boots actors Salma Hayek and Antonio Banderas had a grand time with the photographers at the photo call for their animated flick at the 2011 Cannes International Film Festival at Carlton Beach.

Hayek was glowing in a russet colored leather dress from Gucci’s Fall 2011 collection. She paired it with a similiarly hued floral shrug and a purple leather belt.

The Shrek spin-off is a first for Hollywood: both lead voice actors are native Spanish/Latin speakers and Banderas is proud of his heritage and eager to let it show.

“I feel very proud, actually. I never pretended when I first went to Hollywood to be a guy from Oklahoma,” said Banderas, who was born in Spain. “I am what I am.”

Hayek says she’s glad to participate as the ideas for these characters weren’t derived from studio’s trying to fill a particular market; the development was natural.

“What’s interesting and great about it is it’s not contrived,” Hayek said. “It’s not like, ‘Oh, there’s a good Spanish market. Let’s now target them because we have not yet done the Mexican princess.’” Banderas’ version of Puss in Boots, she said, “got a life of its own, and that’s what created this, organically.”

Johnny Depp & Steven Tyler Collaborate On Song Writing

Unusual partnerships can sometimes bring out the best in artists so it should be no surprise that Johnny Depp is hanging out in the studio with Steven Tyler writing songs.

The Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides star was in a band before his acting gigs really took off and Depp has been inching back into music for a little while now. Depp recorded with the British band Babybird and helmed a video for the group recently.

But right now, he’s into his own thing and getting to work with the former Aerosmith front man is legendary.

“We’ve been hanging out here and there. He’s someone I’ve admired greatly for such a long time,” Johnny told Extra.  “The idea of writing songs with him is a dream come true.”

Depp comes across as the most chill dude on the planet while Tyler gives off the frenetic vibe of a man who can’t sit still – this could work!

Kim Kardashian Doesn’t Drink But Promotes Midori Melon Liqueur

Kim Kardashian has often said she doesn’t drink but apparently that only is true if there is no money involved.

The very beautiful reality TV starlet hit up the Trousdale nightclub in Los Angeles for the Midori Melon Liqueur Trunk Show and raised a green glass to the alcoholic beverage.

Kardashian, 30, posed on the green carpet wearing all black except for emerald earrings and ring for the event, hosted by LaLa Vasquez. Kim also mugged for the camera with a glass of the liqueur poised right at her lips.

While she probably did not actually drink anything, I still find it odd someone who doesn’t enjoy a tipple is promoting an alcohol drink. Wait, there was money involved. Got it!

Season 6 of Keeping Up With The Kardashians will premiere on E! on June 12th.

Rachel McAdams ‘Midnight In Paris’ In Cannes

Rachel McAdams stepped out in the sun-drenched French Riviera red carpet for the photocall of Midnight in Paris at Cannes International Film Festival on the Promenade de la Croisette.

The 32 year-old actress looked flawless in a short sleeve white dress with floral details on the shoulders and pockets from Maxime Simoens.

The Woody Allen film costarring McAdams, Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, Michael Sheen, Marion Cotillard and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy is opening the world’s largest film festival tonight.

Sarah Ferguson Reveals Hurt Over Royal Wedding Snub To Oprah

Prince William and Kate Middleton‘s wedding was missing one Duchess.

Sarah Ferguson, former wife of Prince Andrew and mother of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie was not invited to the April 29th Westminster Abbey nuptials.

The Duchess of York, 51, recognizes that because she was caught up in a scandal last year (she was caught on tape offering access to Prince Andrew for $724,000) she didn’t get the invite, but it didn’t lessen the sting.

She told Oprah and the audience of The Oprah Winfrey Show “I was not invited.”

“I went through the phase of feeling so totally worthless and that it was quite right they didn’t invite me. Why would they – why would they invite me?”

Ferguson says she left the UK to watch the wedding on TV like everyone else.

‘I felt that I ostracised myself by my behaviour, by the past, by living with all the regrets of my mistakes, that I sort of wore a hair shirt and beat myself up most of the day thinking and regretting why did I make such a mistake? Why have I made so many mistakes?

‘I chose to go and be in Thailand in a place called Camelia… the jungle embraced me,’ she said.

Ultimately, she spent time on the phone with Andrew, before the ceremony, who tried cheering her up.

“When Andrew went with the girls, we were talking all morning and he was saying, “It’s okay. Just remember we had such a good day. Our wedding was so perfect,” she recalled. “Because we’re such a unit together. He made me feel very part of the day on April the 29th.”

Ferguson, 51, fondly remembered her good friend, the late Princess Diana, and felt she would have been immensely proud of William and Kate.

“I really love the feeling that sort of Diana and I both weren’t there,” the Duchess said. “But I’m here to say how proud she would have been and Kate looked utterly beautiful.”

“I think Diana would be so proud of her son. Both of them, you know? They did a great job.”
