FROM MTV MOVIES: Oh behave, "Austin Powers" fans, because a sequel might not be in the works just yet.
News broke over the weekend that Mike Myers was "signed, sealed, delivered" for "Austin Powers 4," the long-awaited follow-up to 2002's "Goldmember." HitFix confirmed that Myers had signed a deal to return to the franchise, but now Deadline New York is reporting otherwise. The entertainment website is saying that, despite Myers' interest in the project, no deal has been signed yet.
Apparently all that's happened is that Myers has expressed interest in a proposal for the movie that New Line presented six months ago, and it's not a full-blown deal. The project had seemingly fallen by the wayside after Myers' 2008 flick "The Love Guru" tanked at the box office, and he disappeared from Hollywood (barring a brief appearance in "Inglourious Basterds"). But New Line sought to revitalize the project recently and sent out a new offer about six months ago. Deadline is reporting that Myers' representatives have finally responded that Myers is interested.
If you had a few hours alone with the most famous actor in the world, what would you ask him? That was the thought process driving director/actor Eli Roth when he appeared alongside Brad Pitt in the upcoming Quentin Tarantino flick, "Inglourious Basterds." Naturally, Roth asked something we all might want to know: how does the dude go to the bathroom?
You might know Thomas Lennon as one of the founding members of the hilarious sketch-comedy troupe The State. You might know him as a scene-stealing co-star in movies like “Balls of Fury” and “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” or as the writer of “Herbie Fully Loaded” and the “Night at the Museum” movies. Oh, who are we kidding? You know him as the shorty-shorts clad Lieutenant Dangle from “Reno 911!”
The talent, the moves, the hot girlfriends: A generation of kids want to grow up to be Justin Timberlake. But who does 
A new offering from Quentin Tarantino is still a special event for me. They're few and far between but I can count on one hand the number of filmmakers with the confidence and talent to back it up like QT. The guy doesn't make a wrong move (okay, maybe "Death Proof"?) but I have to say, with each passing casting announcement on "Inglorious Bastards" I shake my head in confusion a little more vigorously.
"The Love Guru" didn't bomb because of 
Perhaps my choice of hitting the caps lock key when I did gave away my thoughts on this matter? The truth is I like Austin Powers. I laughed like everyone else when the first one came out and yes I may have quoted the film once or twice (but not since 1999, I swear). But I laughed a little less during "The Spy Who Shagged Me" and by the time of "Goldmember" I felt, I think like most of you, that this series had run its course.
