  • Billie Piper, who was supplanted as hottest Who girl earlier this year by Karen Gillan, may be taking her soft-porn television show, “Secret Diaries of a Call Girl,” to the big screen. (The Sun)

  • Ricky Gervais will be appearing in the next season of Larry David’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” He’ll be playing himself. (And speaking of Larry David, y’all hear the completely unfounded rumor that his ex-wife home-wrecked Al and Tipper?). (THR)

  • Awesome news for “FNL” fans: Taylor Kitsch will return next season for at least four episodes, while Adrianne Palicki will appear in the final two. Zach Gilford will return for the final four, and Jesse Plemons (Landry) is in talks to return for the finale, too. It’s going to be one hell of a finale, folks. (EW)

  • It is official now: Sam Raimi will direct Oz: The Great and Powerful, the Wizard of Oz prequel that may stay Robert Downey, Jr. Steven had the full write-up yesterday. (Deadline)

  • Zach Galifianakis is reportedly in talks to take the lead in Kevin Lima’s remake of The Incredible Mr. Limpet, a role originated by Don Knotts. (LAT)

  • After years in gestation, and after any number of A-list directors and actors were attached, the movie version of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged is finally getting off the ground with the three principals apparently set: Paul Johansson (“One Tree Hill”), Taylor Schilling (“Mercy”) and Grant Bowler (“True Blood”). (Variety)

  • Tom Hiddleston (Thor) has joined Eddie Redmayne as the first two cast members on Steven Spielberg’s upcoming War Horse. (Slashfilm)

  • You can now watch the premiere episode of AMC’s “Rubicon” right here on this very site. Do it. And we’re you’re done, check out Adrienne’s recap.

  • Liam Neeson says he’s meeting with Luc Besson to discuss the idea of a sequel to Taken. Maybe they can once again find a convenient release date in which there’s nothing else better to watch for six weeks. (MTV)

  • Finally, here’s the wicked bad-ass new trailer for the Citizen Kane remake, now with twice the bullets and four times the shoot-outs, and even some Pixies! (Note: The trailer is for a fake movie. Don’t get your undies in a wad).

    I fell asleep during Citizen Kane and always wondered how it turned out. Now I know. Thanks!

    I would really like to see this re-make of Kane!
    I think that Rupert Murdoch needs his story to be told!
    Prick.

    Also, PIXIES!

    Whoooa. What? MARTHA. JONES. I love Amy Pond but she's replacing Martha Jones as the hottest companion. Billie Piper's a chav.

    Man, I'm asking for it. It's going to be 'Delendo Jo 'Mama'' soon.

    You know what I love about Curb Your Enthusiam? It's that it hasn't been telling the same fucking story every fucking episode for eight fucking years. I swear, that show's scripts are written with a stencil.

    'Oh, hey, hey, hey...'
    'Yeah, yeah, yeah...'
    'So?'
    'Sure!'
    'So...'
    'So...'
    'So!'
    'So?'
    'Yeah...'
    'What?'
    'Hey!'
    'Hey, you!'
    'Hey, me?'
    'Yeah!'
    'UGH!'
    ***
    'Oh, no!'
    'What?'
    'That!'
    'What?'
    'That? Oh, hey...'
    'No, no, no, no, no, no...Oh, hi!'
    'What's this?'
    'What?'
    'This.'
    'Oh. Didn't you know?'
    'No.'
    'Well, now you know.'
    'Yeah, no, I didn't know.'
    'Oh, it's--'
    'No, no, no it's, well, you know.'
    'Oh, I know.'
    'So, yeah?
    'Yeah. Wait, what? Oh...okay!'
    'Good.'
    'Good. So...'
    'So, what?'
    'Um...you know'
    'No. I DON'T know.'
    'But, if you didn't'
    'Oh, so you now you won't-'
    'Why should I?'
    'What?'
    'Why?'
    'I can't, I can't--you still don't--'
    'Hey, I--'
    'OH, HEY EVERYBODY, LOOK AT THE DICK-SLAP. WHAT A DICK-SLAP!'
    'Ohhhhh, I'm all curmudgeoned out.'

    And they all lived multi-millionaire-y ever after.

    Yeah, I know, what have I done or accomplished? Nothing for no one. I think it's the same case as my F&G aversion, where I feel strange at seemingly being the only person on the planet who doesn't have a key to the Cool Kid's Club.

    I'm getting all curmudgeonly, and going to say that was barely a Kane spoof and more an action spoof with a few vague Kane references thrown in... It had style, but I was hoping for something more.

    Dude. Billie's cute, but she wasn't nearly as hot as Freema Agyeman until after her Who years! Didn't you see the ass on Freema? Martha Jones had back. (Karen does trump them all, though, with legs from here up to Scotland.)

    the movie version of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged is finally getting off the ground with the three principals apparently set: Paul Johansson (“One Tree Hill”), Taylor Schilling (“Mercy”) and Grant Bowler (“True Blood”).

    Huh. Is this going straight to the WB? It sounds like it is with that cast, especially with the guy from One Tree Hill. Granted, I would have no problem with that so long as a dog manages to eat Johansson's heart moments before his transplant operation. They can take all of the creative license to write that in.

    re: Citizen Kane "trailer"

    Why does he sound like Abed doing Christian Bale doing Batman?

    Kane ya dig it?
    Who was the man...

    Posted by: Rykker at June 15, 2010 10:14 PM

    I'm just glad someone remembered the black (GORGEOUS) one.

    Posted by: rhino at June 15, 2010 10:50 PM

    Someone with two IMDB credits to her name is going to play Dagny Taggart? Yikes.

    And for you politically-minded Pajibans, a satirical comic about Ayn Rand in 2010! Warning: tebaggers enclosed. http://wonkette.com/415825/thats-objectivist-ayn-rand-in-the-21st-century

    mmmmmm pixies .
    Also do you think rosebud will refer to a porn site now ?

    Posted by: gilp at June 16, 2010 12:12 AM

    I really hope they don't make a Secret Diary of a Callgirl movie, it's the worst non-reality T.V. show I've ever seen, including Star Trek: Enterprise, House of Payne, and According to Jim.

    Zach Galifianakis is reportedly in talks to take the lead in Kevin Lima’s remake of The Incredible Mr. Limpet, a role originated by Don Knotts. (LAT)

    They fucking will NOT, or West Virginians will wreak fear and havoc on their native-son (Mo'town, represent!) Don Knotts-desecrating sorry asses.

    @Mr. Tusks

    THANK! YOU! Best link ever! Ayn Rand was a high-functioning sociopath, and to think that there's a film coming out giving credence to her philosophy makes me want to take the first plane back to Paris and never come back. When will we ever learn???

    The answer is "never".

    Posted by: RestInPeace at June 16, 2010 2:01 AM

    I am delurking to say:

    MARTHA JONES IS AWESOME.


    That is all.

    Posted by: Chel at June 16, 2010 3:26 AM

    Don't worry, CommaDaddy, *also cocks MurderMusket* I've got your back. After we've shot 'em, I say we strap 'em to a couch and set it on fire in true Mo'town fashion. In the middle of Don Knotts Blvd... ya know, out of respect.

    Billie Piper's a chav.

    ... what? Sorry, what? .... You're wrong, clearly, but just out of interest, and if it's not too much trouble, please indulge me - how is she a chav exactly?

    Posted by: SB at June 16, 2010 4:15 AM

    In skimming the comments, I mis-read the last of George's list of bad TV show as Life with Jin

    What the hell is wrong with me??

    Posted by: dammitjanet at June 16, 2010 8:40 AM

    I actually enjoy Secret Diary of a Call Girl, thankyouverymuch. And I think Piper is truly delectable. In fact, I think I just found my fifth for my List. (I was having trouble with the ladies; I lost track of time Googling Alan Tudyk ::drool::)

    Splendid idea!

    So ... when we hooking up, already?

    Posted by: , at June 16, 2010 9:56 AM

    Yes. Martha, not Rose as the now second-hottest.
