Jane Lynch of Glee (but more importantly, some awesome Christopher Guest movies) is making her Broadway debut as the villainous Miss Hannigan from Annie. I love Ms. Lynch and I love the idea of her as Miss Hannigan, but Carol Burnett owns that role in my mind. She'll probably kick ass at it, though. Lynch will play a very limited run, from May 16th to July 14th. In the meantime, for all your borderline evil orphanage owner needs, check out Burnett.
Sarah Jessica Parker famously made her Bro...
They're talking to us. George [Lucas] wanted to know whether we'd be interested. He did say that if we didn't want to do it, they wouldn't cast another actor in our parts; they would write us out. I can tell you right away that we haven't signed any contracts. We're in the stage where they want us to go in and meet with Michael Arndt, who is the writer, and Kathleen Kennedy, who is going to run Lucasfilm. Both have had meetings set that were postponed -- on their end, not mine. They're more busy than I am.
Omg, Mark Hamill, you adorable national treasure. "They're more busy than I am." That is some beautiful honesty right there.
In January it was announced that J.J. Abrams is directing the first sequel, Episode VII. Then, there was discussion that Harrison Ford is reprising his role as Han Solo, but reports conflict as to whether or not it's official just yet. Rolling Stone says it is, but check out their source.
From Rolling Stone:
Harrison Ford will return as the original space cowboy, Han Solo, in the new installments of the Star Wars franchise, according to Fox News Latino columnist Umberto "El Mayimbe" Gonzalez. The reporter said he "triple checked" his "legitimate sources"...
Oh cool, well we all know how legit that Umberto "El Mayimbe" Gonzalez is.
Hamill goes onto speculate,
I'm assuming, because I haven't talked to the writers, that these movies would be about our offspring -- like my character would be sort of in the Obi-Wan range [as] an influential character. … When I found out [while making the original trilogy] that ultimate good news/bad news joke – the good news is there's a real attractive, hot girl in the universe; the bad news is she's your sister – I thought, 'Well, I'm going to wind up like Sir Alec. I'm going to be a lonely old hermit living out in some kind of desert igloo with a couple of robots.'

NERDS, GET IN HERE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT STAR WARS IN HERE. Mark Hamill AKA Luke Skywalker of the Star Wars trilogy, is in talks about possibly returning to the franchise. "Who cares about Mark Hamill?" you ask. I CARE. A LOT OF US CARE. THERE ARE 4 - 8 PEOPLE READING THIS WHO CARE ABOUT MARK HAMILL.

Lady Gaga is in serious pain, you guys - like, way legit. I really had no idea how bad her injuries were, but apparently she needs surgery. She had to cancel her tour due to "a labral tear of the right hip" and the chronic pain it caused. She is suffering from synovitis, a "severe inflammation of joints."
From Gaga's Twitter page this morning:
Presumably her "Little Monsters" are freaking out and impaling themselves on unicorn horns or whatever they do. I'm sure Gaga has access to t...
Lana Del Rey beat an impressive list of nominees in the International Female Solo Artist category at the 2013 Brit Awards. And I care about this because I love Lana Del Rey and am glad that somewhere in the world someone is recognizing her talent and not just hating on her nails and lips because obviously if a woman has fake nails and fake lips (allegedly), she's untalented trash.
The other nominees for best International Female Solo Artist were Alicia Keys, Cat Power, Rihanna and Taylor S...
UPDATE: Miley denies having posted the photo in question via Twitter:
I don't have an Instagram.— Miley Ray Cyrus (@MileyCyrus) February 20, 2013
Miley Cyrus appears to have posted a photo of her smoking a blunt on her Instagram account. "It's probably just a cigarette," you're thinking. Yeah, same here, until you read her caption with the photo: "High as fvck."
If she's playing the ole parlor game, "What Will Make My Publicists' Heads Explode?" this is definitely worth 20+ points. They're ...
Kelly Clarkson is accusing Clive Davis of lying in his new memoir. After reading what she posted I'm inclined to believe her. I'll back up.
Davis writes in his book that he fought with Kelly Clarkson about her album Breakaway. He said that he had to fight with Ms. Clarkson to include Since U Been Gone on the album and that Clarkson burst into tears over it. Davis was also very vocal (haha see what I did there?) about his dislike for Clarkson's third album, My December. He hated it, didn't...
Kate Upton, model on her way to super status, has needed to defend her body since she did her first cover for Sports Illustrated which is effing ridiculous because her body is insane, in the best kind of way. Her trainer, David Kirsch is now speaking out about her body which is weird because, 1. It sounds like he has to defend her body and 2. We never, ever have a trainer discussing a dude's body.
Kirsch, who also trains Heidi Klum, Karolina Kurkova and Liv Tyler, talked to New York Magazine about Upton's workou...
Prince Michael Jackson I AKA , Prince Michael, AKA Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., AKA Michael Jackson's oldest son, is working as a special correspondent for Entertainment Tonight. Is everyone else thinking, "Wait...what?"Â Jackson is 16. Meanwhile Lindsay Lohan still can't get a job. His first interview for the show was with James Franco, Zach Braff, and Sam Raimi of Oz the Great and Powerful. Ewww, Zach Braff. Sorry, at this point, that's just a reflex I picked up from the '00s.
Jackson has ...
Courteney Cox and Matthew Perry, AKA Monica + Chandler = 4eva, are going to be reunited on television. Ms. Cox is filming a role on Mr. Perry's show Go On [And Cancel Us Already] at this very moment. Yay! Above is the photo she posted on her twitter account with, "My first box husband." (I guess she means first television husband? What an...interesting way to say that. Or something? I don't know, what's going on?)
THEN, Perry posted a photo of his own, on his twitter account, tweeting "Yayyyyyyyy!"
Yay indeed, everyone! Seeing this photo ...
David Bowie, one of the greatest musicians/performers/songwriters to ever live, period, is set to release his second single off of his upcoming album, The Next Day. This is a big deal because David Bowie is awesome.
Also this is the first new music he's released in a long time. His most recent album, Reality, came out in 2003. To put this in perspective in 2003 I was psyched to get pink Ugg boots for my birthday.
The single, titled The Stars (Are Out Tonight) will drop February 26th. The first single release...
Clive Davis, superstar record producer, is coming out as bisexual in his new memoir, The Soundtrack of My Life. The 80 year-old music executive has won 5 Grammy Awards and has launched careers for (to name a few) Whitney Houston, Kelly Clarkson, Barry Manilow, Rod Stewart, Aretha Franklin, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson, Carlos Santa, Leona Lewis, and Christina Aguilera.
Davis describes in his book a sexual encounter with a man at Studio 54 that changed his life. (Classic Studio 54.)

Oh man, I love the National Enquirer. Jest all you like, but half of the time they get their stories right and before anyone else. The other half of the time I think they just make shit up and I think this falls under that half.
Apparently Angelina Jolie told Brad Pitt that compared to Colin Farrell he sucks in bed and now Brad Pitt is an alcoholic or something.

Brad caught Angie red-handed, admitting that she thinks he’s a so-so lover. Ever since then, heâ€...
