  • J.K. Rowling suggested to Oprah that she could write three more Harry Potter novels if she wanted to. You know, she totally wants to. (Vulture)

  • You remember Mamma Mia, the movie they made based around ABBA songs. Yeah. They’re going to do the same with Beach Boys songs. Because God hates you all. (Variety)

  • With the Bayfier, now you can star in your own Michael Bay movie, like this one, which I’ll call Priscosplosion, which stars not one, but TWO Shia LaBeoufs. (Bayifier)

  • The Fug Girls pick the Best and Worst dressed characters on television. Oh, Manny! (Vulture)

  • Amy Adams, after a year off to have a ginger spawn, is weighing three offers: The lead female in The Muppet Movie opposite Jason Segal; the love interest opposite Matt Damon in Cameron Crowe’s We Bought a Zoo (pick me! pick me!); and opposite Chris Pine in Alex Kurtzman’s directorial debut, Welcome To People. (The Playlist)

  • FYI: Eduardo Saverin, the poor schlub played by Andrew Garfield in The Social Network, who got screwed over by Mark Zuckerberg, is in reality worth about $1.1 billion. (The Business Insider)

  • Olivia Wilde has been cast to play Justin Timberlake’s … mother in I’m.mortal, Andrew Niccol’s sci-fi film set in a world where society stops aging at 25, and where the rich are immortal, while the rest struggle to stay alive. (The Wrap)

  • Meanwhile, Emily Blunt will be playing Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s … mother in Looper, Rian Johnson’s time-traveling follow-up to The Brothers Bloom. I’d try to explain the plot to you, but I think I’d get lost along the way. (THR)

  • ABC has made a script order for a Jennifer Lopez untitled dramedy co-produced by “Friends” writer Alexa Junge. I’d trying to explain the plot to you, but I’d probably black out from stupidity. (Variety)

  • Fox has “won” the right to distribute Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, the movie directed by Wanted’s Timur Bekmambetov and based on Seth Grahame-Smith’s novel. Tim Burton is producing. (Variety)

  • A crocodile dressed as Iron Man? Why not?

    If I went back in time and my mom looked like Emily Blunt... uh, never mind.

    Needs moar actual Prisco, sans LeBeouf.

    Note to Amy Adams: Choose Damon and Crowe. It might be good for that career of yours that is pretty much in the toilet.

    If Fox doesn't get Adam Scott (from Party Down) to play Abraham Lincoln, they're damn fools.

    I confess I watch Gossip Girl on occasion, almost solely for the awesome/bizarre clothes. Also it's just a ridiculous show. I can't watch it every week because it's exhausting, but I always enjoy it when I do. You can't miss Chuck Bass dressing like a gigolo week after week. And the Fug Girls are right--everyone else on that show dresses like crackwhores. So much fun.

    And Manny is the most stylish little boy ever. Love him.

    Instead of getting three new Harry Potter books can we get a 5, 6 and 7 that are actually good?

    If we don't learn from history, we're doomed to repeat it. Are you listening, Twentieth Century Fox, it's me, Good Vibrations. Please let me, the original Beach Boys jukebox musical, rot in peace.

    Rian Johnson + Joseph Gordon-Levitt= LOVE

    A) No More Harry Potter. I think J.K is trying to top Twihards and wanting to remind everyone else that she is still relavent.

    B) Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. YES! Now where's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies?

    They should cast will.i.am in I'm.mortal, if only to avoid the trademark infringement suit.

    When I was in high school, my crazy mom decided she could get up and get ready more easily in the morning IF SHE BLASTED BEACH BOYS SONGS ON HER BEDROOM STEREO.

    Oh, including that GODDAMNED KOKOMO SONG.

    I HATE THEM.

    You remember Mamma Mia, the movie they made based around ABBA songs. Yeah. They’re going to do the same with Beach Boys songs. Because God hates you all.

    I saw this last year, actually. It was a sort of Beach Boys tribute band with the actual Brian Wilson propped up front and center. Occasionally he would play keyboard, rarely he would play guitar, sometimes he'd sing a song. But much of the time he just sort of sat and swayed along with the music. One of the guitar player/singers really carried the thing. Weirdest concert I've ever seen.

    LordNinja,

    JK Rowling doesn't need anything to stay relevant right now. The two-part finale to the HP movies is fast approaching and she is the second richest person in the UK. She will buy your scorn, sprinkle it with unicorn dandruff and make you eat it with a side of sauteed Dick of Bigfoot.

    No one probably cares, but unless I'm really confused, the article doesn't say Emily Blunt is playing the mother of JGL's character, but the mother of the young boy who JGL's character needs to find.

    Amy, always go Muppets.

    kballs, I love you!
