Posted 9/23/10 12:00 pm EST by in News


In honor of the 35th anniversary of the cult legend that is the "Rocky Horror Picture Show," a couple of "Glee" stars will be teaming up with some Hollywood heavyweights to do a special show for charity on October 28 in Los Angeles. Actress Lea Michele revealed her involvement in an announcement to her fan club, naming her co-star Matthew Morrison, Jack Nicholson, Danny DeVito and Jason Segel as collaborators for the celebration.

Morrison and Michele will take on the roles of Brad and Janet, while Nicholson and DeVito will split time playing The Criminologist and Segel will portray Dr. Everett V. Scott.

"It is going to be a night out to remember for a very long time," the original film's producer Lou Adler said in a press release. "All of these amazing artists performing those classic songs plus a costume ball is amazing; but, most of all, it will benefit the special kids who attend the Painted Turtle Camp." Read More...

Reese Witherspoon Caught Between Paul Rudd And Owen Wilson In This 'How Do You Know' Trailer

Posted 8/16/10 8:56 am EST by in Trailers


You know that "untitled James L. Brooks" comedy that only recently got a title, "How Do You Know"? The one starring Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson and Jack Nicholson. Well there's a debut trailer for it online.

The movie actually looks pretty damn funny, sharper than your typical romantic comedy love triangle fare, which is basically what it is. Witherspoon plays an accomplished athlete who is involve with a professional baseball player (Wilson). He's totally wrong for her. Then along comes an old friend (Rudd), a corporate suit who is embroiled in some legal shenanigans. Pending court appearances aside, he's perfect for her. The movie's plot might diverge from the story the trailer lays out, but even if it doesn't there's some sharp writing here. Not that I would expect anything less from Brooks. Enjoy.

Reese Witherspoon Sheds Some Light On Her Untitled Project With James L. Brooks

Posted 11/3/09 3:00 pm EST by in News, Video


Reese Witherspoon picked up an Oscar in 2005 for her performance as June Carter in the Johnny Cash biopic "Walk the Line," but she's been fairly quiet since then. Working of course, but there's one listing on IMDB for her that's had me curious for ages. After all, it's not every day that you pair a performer of her caliber with James L. Brooks, executive producer of "The Simpsons," for an as-yet-untitled comedy also starring Jack Nicholson, Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson. So when MTV reporter Akshay Bhansali ran into Witherspoon last week at the Avon Foundation for Women Awards Gala red carpet, he just had to ask her for an update, perhaps even a title, on the mysterious project.

"We don't have a title, we just wrapped on Saturday," Witherspoon said. "We've been shooting it for the past six months." And what exactly is "it"? Previous reports indicated that the actress would sit at the apex of a love triangle, with Rudd's white collar executive and Wilson's professional baseball pitcher. Read More...

Jack Nicholson Wants To Watch Reese Witherspoon Play Softball

Posted 6/3/09 5:30 pm EST by in News


Jack NicholsonIf a girl you liked had Jack Nicholson as a father, would you be too scared to ask her out? Even if that girl was Reese Witherspoon? I would think so, but then this isn't a situation I would ever find myself in. Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson will however, according to The Hollywood Reporter: Nicholson is "in talks" to take the role in an untitled romantic comedy from James L. Brooks.

The romantic comedy stars Reese Witherspoon as a professional softball player who is torn between two handsome, available men: Rudd, a nice, ordinary guy, and Wilson, a rakish fellow with one heck of a fastball. It clocks in at 94 miles an hour. This is an important point. I'm not sure why, but that's about as specific as THR gets with regards to the story. Read More...
