I am so excited about the Tim Burton remake of Tim Burton's Frankenweenie! I'm so excited, I can't stop using exclamation points! The feature-length flick is currently in production, and Entertainment Weekly has this exclusive sneak peek. In the stills, you can clearly see the two main characters---Victor, the boy, and his dog Sparky---and I'm just so dazzled. I love this aesthetic; nobody nails it like Burton. It's a little twee, but it's still adequately bizarre. Perfect.

The Internet has completely lost its collective mind over this sneak peek from Life's Too Short, a new sitcom from Ricky Gervais and collaborator Stephen Merchant.
The clip itself stars Gervais and Johnny Depp---two people who, lately anyway, have kinda set themselves up to be believably insufferable---so there's plenty of schadenfreude here, a lot of devilish mirth. Ugh, I just hate those tinted sunglasses. And that hat! Does Johnny Depp really wear a hat like that, like, outside? What...
Well, it's all doom-and-gloom from me today, I'm afraid.
This is one of those things I'm not sure whether to cover on a gossip blog, or how. A lot of you maybe haven't even heard of comedian Patrice O'Neal---although, if you watched the Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen back in September, you definitely remember him. O'Neal was edgy without being malicious, which I liked, and he was incisive, and it helped that he was very, very funny.
O'Neal was also a regular on the Opie and Anth...
Sorry to bring this up again---I know you're probably over it---but Mitch Winehouse and his family hopefully have some closure. Amy Winehouse died of alcohol poisoning, toxicologists have confirmed.
To recap: Mitch Winehouse, her father, claimed that Amy had most likely died from alcohol withdrawal. He added that she had kicked the hard stuff---she had been clean for at least a year---but despite a preparatory stint in rehab and a period of sustained sobriety, her Belgrade performance was ...
Same story, different day: Michael Lohan was arrested in the wee hours Tuesday morning for, once again, trying to beat up his sometimes-lady-friend, 28-year-old gossip journalist Kate Major. According to CNN, authorities responded to a call from Lohan's Tampa home and immediately arrested Lohan for "battery on his live-in girlfriend," the police statement said. Most news sources say the call came from Major's home. Toe-may-toe, toe-mah-toe.
When D-Listed reported that this was all over a beej, I thought blogger Michael K was ...
Yesterday, Sarah showed you new photos that basically confirm Jessica Simpson's pregnancy. So why won't Jess just come out and tell us what we already know?
Uh, money, that's why. According to the New York Post, the former pop tart is holding out, asking for a cool half-million dollars for her official, exclusive pregnancy announcement---for $750,000, you can have the exclusive baby photos, too!---but People, Us Weekly, and OK! have already passed on Simpson's offer. Ouch. (Supposedly, OK...
"They couldn't understand what I was doing. You know? To the point where Disney wanted to---wanted to fire me. They didn't understand the character. They were actually contemplating subtitling the film."
---Johnny Depp tells Larry King about Disney executives' reaction to his mumblecore performance in Pirates of the Caribbean.
I absolutely cannot imagine a world without Captain Jack Sparrow. Say what you will about Johnny Depp and his recent campaign to make us hate him, but the guy knows...
D'aaawwww. Before she became a blonde bombshell, Scarlett Johansson was the cutest, most precocious little girl.
Here's the youngster at age 11, auditioning for Jumanji. I like the way she plays Judy Shepherd, too! Kind of surly, y'know?
And just for funsies, here's Natalie Portman at 12ish, auditioning for her star-making turn in Leon: the Professional.

Today is Ryan Reynolds' birthday, and guess who's celebrating? Me! I am! I have a cake and a party hat and this plaintive-sounding party kazoo and everything. I'm all ready. Happy 35th birthday, Ryan!
Wait. Who's that? Who's that anonymous blonde who flew to Boston to hang out with Ryan all Birthday Weekend long? Oh, no. It's Blake Lively! Gee, she sure got over her last relationship pretty quickly.
Hmph. According to Radar, this is the third weekend in a row the pair have been spied to...
Paul McCartney wed Nancy Shevell way back on October 9, and their wedding reception lasted all hours of the night, even inspiring a noise complaint.
The couple is still reportedly celebrating in New York City, you guys! They threw another reception Friday night; Jon Bon Jovi and Barbara Walters attended the fete (slow down, Barbara!), and even Yoko Ono was a surprise guest. And guess who else attended! Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters! He's scheduled to perform at Neil Young's Bridge School...
So! You like Neil Young? His sound is very distinctive. What about Win Butler of the Arcade Fire? (The band's sound is also distinctive.)
Sure you like them! You have a heart, after all. Here they are, performing Crosby, Stills, and Nash's "Helpless" at last night's Annual Bridge School Benefit Concert, Neil Young's two-day all-acoustic charity benefit. The pairing makes a strange sense, right? Why didn't I see it before? Hmm.
Beck also played the event, along with Devendra Banhart, Norah Jones, and Dave Matthews. Tony Bennett will perform later today. />

At long last! Meet Moroccan and Monroe, Mariah Carey's babies with husband Nick Cannon. Well, OK---in the preview clip from 20/20 you really only see the backs of the babies' heads. (But! The full interview is embedded below! BABIES!)
The happy foursome sat down with Barbara Walters to talk about love, marriage, and baby-makin'. And although it's old news, I sincerely did not know about Mariah's miscarriage. Ugh.
If you have time, do watch the whole interview, which first aired last night...
