News Galore!

-Happy Birthday, James Franco!

-Kristen Wiig (one of the funniest women on the planet), Leighton Meester (deeve supreme Blair on Gossip Girl), Tina Fey (one of the funniest women on the planet), Steve Carrell (funny man), Mark Wahlberg (Boston pride), James Franco (speak of the devil), Taraji P. Henson (Benjamin Button!), and rapper Common will all star in a movie together called Date Night. Now I love every single person in this movie! I'm so excited especially about Leighton, Tina, and Kristen. I wonder what the couple pairings will be. Leighton and Franco would be hot. Will be released in 2010.

-Another movie that is intriguing me is London Boulevard. William Monahan (writer of The Departed and last year's Body of Lies) is directing this London-set gangster movie. It starts filming in May. Colin Farrell, Keira Knightley, and Ray Winstone (Beowulf!) will star. Sounds very promising considering Monahan's Departed script was brilliant.

-Zac Efron's teen movie 17 Again was number 1 at the box office this weekend proving the guy can open a movie on his own. State of Play, the very good political/newspaper thriller came in second.

-British electro duo, La Roux's first single, In For the Kill, hit #2 in the British charts today. Very, very impressive.
