The boys could be back in town for a new installment of "The Hangover," but not before they get some ginormous paychecks for the movie. Meanwhile, Chloe Sevingy could be getting Demi Moore's recently-vacated spot in "Lovelace," Russell Brand is headed to family-friendly territory and Paul Giamatti is ready for some Shakespearean tragedy.
It's January 26, and you're tuning in to today's casting call.

There may or may not be more "Transformers" movies in Michael Bay's future, but for now, the stars who previously battled the robots in disguise are still getting along. "Transformers" actors Tyrese Gibson and Ken Jeong reunited over the weekend, and perhaps there's more than meets the eye to their mention of "JS" -- Jason Statham, perhaps? Your guess is as good as ours!
Meanwhile, "Harry Potter" and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" bad boy Tom Felton conquered Table Mountain over the weekend, Rainn Wilson made a shocking confession about his bathroom behavior and Christopher Mintz-Plasse may have stumbled upon his own secret Spider-Man origin.

Stop the presses — turns out that "Celebrity Apprentice" host Donald Trump isn't running for president after all. The news was announced during the NBC up front presentation today, prompting a flurry of reactions from the celebrity-driven space of Twitter-Wood.
In unrelated news, "Bridesmaids" was a hit at the box office this weekend, crushing any doubts that Kristen Wiig's latest comedy couldn't achieve commercial success. It's a critical darling, too, with glowing reviews pouring in from all across the blogosphere.

"Bridesmaids" is almost here, and it looks like director Paul Feig is getting some pre-wedding jitters, if his recent tweets are any indication. Of course, he's got nothing to worry about — early buzz is very positive, with many members of the Twitter-Wood community already rallying behind the Kristen Wiig comedy.
But critical acclaim doesn't always translate to financial success, of course. Hollywood producer Jeff Katz hopped on Twitter and went over the latest tracking data for this summer's hottest movies, and some of the results may surprise you.
Plus, if you thought Sarah Michelle Gellar's anti-"Buffy" reboot stance would slow the movie's progress down, you're in for a rude awakening: screenwriter Whit Anderson says it's very much still on track.

We reported on it weeks ago, but it was made official yesterday: Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotilliard will be joining the cast of "The Dark Knight Rises." And if it wasn't for Twitter, we'd have no idea how meta this casting really was.
According to the James Cameron blockbuster "The Terminator," the artificial intelligence in the Skynet program went live yesterday, which means that our inevitable destruction is just hours away! Since we're all about to die, you might as well read a few predictions for what might be in store for the robot apocalypse.
And a beautiful actress talks about filming love scenes! We won't give it away, but it involves lots and lots of high fives.

Josh Horowitz has been thrust into some uniquely bizarre situations in his time here at MTV. He's been threatened at knifepoint by Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, seduced by Topher Grace and confronted by the odd American accents of the British "Harry Potter" cast.
But through all of it, there is perhaps no greater instance of pure terror and awkwardness than his attack at the hands of the Twizzler-chomping monster known as Rainn Wilson.
In the latest edition of "After Hours," Horowitz got up close and personal with the erstwhile Dwight Schrute to talk about his upcoming movie "Super," a blood-and-superhero soaked genre-bender, but the conversation quickly went to some other dark places. Wilson talked about living in the shadow of Dwight, his favorite voices to impersonate and much more—really, an unspeakable amount of much more. Watch the video and see for yourself, but be warned, you'll never want another Twizzler ever again.

If you thought Steve Carell's impending departure from "The Office" would give you the excuse you needed to leave Dunder Mifflin forever, you're sorely mistaken: Will Ferrell has booked a four-episode arc on the NBC sitcom, and as we've already told you, the comedic possibilities are just about endless.
As excited as we are about Ferrell's upcoming trip to Scranton, just imagine how pumped the cast and crew members of "The Office" themselves are getting. We spoke with a few of the regulars about the comedian's cameo on the red carpet of the SAG Awards last night, and the overall mood was very positive. Read More...

Some Twitter-Wood citizens were shocked after the organization WikiLeaks decided to release U.S. diplomatic cables that they'd obtained over the weekend. Some responded with a total lack of surprise, such as Michael Ian Black, and at least one man just wanted to know if they were aware of where his keys might be.
A Tuesday earthquake in Japan, meanwhile, startled people as well. Olivia Wilde has a theory about why it occurred that you probably hadn't considered, while Tom Felton didn't appear to have experienced an interruption during his grocery shopping because of the quake. Find out what he was looking at in Tokyo after the jump, as well as what Rose McGowan thought of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1," as well as how "Weird" Al Yankovic sees himself.

From the looks of her Yfrog posts, Rose McGowan nabbed a nice seat for Game 1 of the World Series to watch the Giants take on the Rangers. She doesn't think she looked very good, but she still shared a view that may make you jealous.
Ice-T, meanwhile, has been gunning through "Fallout: New Vegas." Like many reviewers, he pointed out how buggy the game is, but also like many reviewers, he said it's been a pretty engaging experience thus far. You'll find his words along with Judd Apatow's Halloween costume plans straight out of "Kick-Ass" after the jump. His conversation with Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Rainn Wilson's feelings about Christopher Nolan's next Batman film and your potential shot at dating Shannon Elizabeth have been cataloged below.

Twitter-Wood was on pins and needles waiting for the Chilean miners to get rescued yesterday (well, Steve Martin and Simon Pegg tried to lighten the mood). Today, the overall mood is significantly cheerier, thanks to a successful extraction operation. Kal Penn and Patton Oswalt discussed their reactions, while some other faces in our feed checked out "Red" and Seth Green hung out with some sailors.
Green's shot with them was good enough to make Twitter Pic of the Day. You can find it after the jump along with Ice-T's multiplayer review of "Medal of Honor" and Juliette Lewis' view of the Arcade Fire concert in Los Angeles.
