Wow. Just wow. What else is there to say about this photo, snapped at the after-party of Hilary Duff and Chevy Chase’s Tribeca Film Festival entry, “Stay Cool”? I can pretend it didn’t happen, that I never saw it. I can distract myself with fond memories of the insane comedic genius that is Chevy’s ‘80s filmography. But this photo is going to haunt my dreams, and now, well, it will haunt yours too...

Twilighters might want to think twice before popping in that DVD for the fiftieth time this weekend, and instead head to LA for some upcoming vampire scoop. Because none other than “Twilight” screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg will be appearing at the LA Times Festival of Books this Saturday at UCLA - signing copies of her smash script.
Being involved in a dynamic film and television writing career has definitely been a rewarding experience for Melissa, judging from all the “Twilight” and “Dexter” success that has catapulted her into the rare position of being the centerpiece of two phenomenons. In fact, her work is so notable that Rosenberg has been nominated for one Emmy Award and two Writers Guild of America Awards. Read More...

You‘ve seen Dan Fogler as the funny, chubby, dim-witted star of such comedies as “Good Luck Chuck” and “Balls of Fury,” but the man is far more complicated than the characters he plays on screen. If you need proof, look no further than the twisted artistry on display this week as Fogler makes his directorial debut with “Hysterical Psycho” at the Tribeca Film Festival.
“This is my first movie,” Fogler marveled. “For it to even get into a festival is incredible and for it to be Tribeca is unbelievable.”
If you watch the trailer for “Hysterical Psycho” you will notice loads of somewhat contradictory, often uproarious words popping up onscreen. So when we spoke with Fogler recently, we got the funnyman’s thoughts on the descriptions for his directorial debut. Read More...

Half a decade later, Reed and Hardwicke reunited to launch the “Twilight” series on the big screen. But what about the third member of their troubled-teen triad?
This week, we checked in with the 21-year-old Wood to discuss her upcoming Woody Allen movie “Whatever Works,’ and couldn’t help but ask whether she recalled any “Twilight” talk from all those years ago. Read More...

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is already a successful young actor by any measure, but he's quickly on his way to becoming a household name. A role in a Christopher Nolan film can only help, and that's what the "G.I. Joe" star has landed. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Gordon-Levitt has signed onto Nolan's top secret thriller, "Inception." The young up-and-comer has replaced James Franco, who dropped out of the running due to schedule conflicts.
The cast now includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Cillian Murphy, and Gordon-Levitt. The plot still remains under lock and key, but it's been previously reported that DiCaprio plays "a CEO-type" and that Gordon-Levitt will play his associate. Page plays a grad student who is somehow the CEO's sidekick, and Cotillard plays DiCaprio's wife. Read More...

"Entourage" star Jeremy Piven didn't need any convincing to star in Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's big summer comedy "The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard." Piven's screen presence was more than enough to crown the high-energy cast, including Ving Rames, Ed Helms, Alan Thicke, and David Koechner. What the cast list hasn't shown yet is that Will Ferrell will be showing up in one of the film's largest roles, meaning he'll be pulling a doubleheader at the box office for the season alongside "Land of the Lost."
"He plays one of the members of my team," Piven told MTV News. "It just hasn't been publicized yet." Read More...
