'The Good Wife' season finale tonight: Five possible scenarios
Image Credit: David M. Russell/CBSTonight, we find out if Alicia (Julianna Margulies) will stand by her man, cheating husband Peter (Chris Noth), as he attempts to win back his seat as the State’s Attorney of Illinois’ Cook County. Until last week, when Alicia essentially made a deal with Peter’s image consultant Eli (Alan Cumming) that he’d bring his business to her law firm to secure her job if she’d continue playing The Good Wife, I thought she might actually leave Peter for Will (Josh Charles), the old friend/current boss with whom she has a history. With Cumming becoming a regular in season 2, I just don’t see how Alicia backs out of that unspoken agreement. So what do you think happens? From the preview, embedded below, we know that Will makes his intentions clear and that Alicia has a decision to make — will she join Peter on stage at a press conference, or will she accept an incoming call from Will? From talking with Cumming, we know that the final seconds of tonight’s finale (CBS, 10 p.m. ET), will involve Alicia, Will, Peter, and Eli. I can see five possible scenarios — possibly none of which are correct, because the Good Wife writers are smarter than me… READ FULL STORY »

Last night's 'Sex and the City 2' premiere fashion: I'm a Carrie!
I was lucky enough to attend the world premiere for Sex and the City 2 in New York last night, and while the fashion in the actual film was kind of a letdown (there, I said it), the girls turned it out on the red carpet in fun and appropriately sexy outfits.
Leading lady Sarah Jessica Parker wore an electrifying neon Valentino gown that was as light and breezy as it was daring. In two words: I want! It had an interesting tail that whipped around her the entire night, which made for quite the red carpet strut. Her hair went for an equally light turn, making her almost unrecognizable. A desire for sartorial change or an effort to dodge clamoring fans? Hmm, you decide.
Kim Cattrall donned a slinky Naeem Khan that looked far from great. Up close, the gown was covered in a very un-elegant daisy print.
Kristen Davis followed Parker’s lead, choosing a fluorescent pink vintage Jean Desses wrap gown that seemed appropriately Charlotte. Between the intricate ruching and the fresh color, it was my second favorite of the night after Parker’s, even if its tight silhouette forced her to penguin walk onto the Radio City Hall stage. (She wisely changed into this vintage Pierre Balmain Couture dress for the after party.)
I could’ve easily missed Cynthia Nixon on the carpet. Since I’m so used to Miranda’s fiery red locks (remember this phase?), I forgot she’s a natural blonde. She was the most muted of the four in a black strapless Carolina Herrera. From far it may not look like much, but up close, it was exquisite.
Which is your favorite SATC look from last night?

Brendan Fraser may not return for 'Journey' sequel, Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer team up for 'Lightspeed'
- Mike Fleming says Brad Peyton will direct Journey to the Center of the Earth‘s sequel and Brendan Fraser may not return as the film’s star. Aw. No reason to Brendan Fraser clap now. [Deadline]
- Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer have picked up the possible 3-D Lightspeed, about a pilot who “must take his ship on a perilous journey across the galaxy on the brink of war.” Will likely look something like this. [Variety]
- Sam Rockwell is in talks for Sweet Baby Jesus, which centers on a man who follows his pregnant teenage girlfriend (British pop star Pixie Lot) to Bethlehem, Md. Kim Cattrall also stars as the girlfriend’s mother, and Bette Midler as an inn-keeper. With a cast this bizarre, I guess we can expect Hanson to play the three wise men? [Deadline]
- Andy Garcia, Mario Van Peebles, Luke Gross, and Aidan Quinn will star in The Exodus of Charlie Wright, about a billionaire who goes into exile after it’s discovered he’s leading a Ponzi scheme. The Exodus of Bernie Madoff now playing in prisons. [THR]

'Mass Effect' movie adaptation: Please, please, please don't forget the moral ambiguity
Mass Effect is pure candy for the OCD gamer. Set in an epically expansive sci-fi universe, the Bioware franchise (two games so far, with a third on the way) allows you to play through a storyline that feels at times like a grown-up version a Choose Your Own Adventure book. Your character, Commander Shepard, can be a man or a woman, and you guide the character in practically infinite directions. You can play through the game several times without ever having the same experience. And it’s a long experience: it took me about 30 hours to beat Mass Effect 1 just once. (I have a very forgiving girlfriend.)
So I’m a little bit nervous about the news that Legendary Pictures is looking to make a movie out of Mass Effect. READ FULL STORY »

Nina Dobrev joins Kellan Lutz in 'Deathgames'
Image Credit: Andrew Eccles/The CWThe Vampire Diaries‘ Nina Dobrev is used to playing the love of a tortured man, which makes The Hollywood Reporter‘s scoop that she’s been cast as Kellan Lutz’s wife in the film Deathgames understandable. This is the movie costarring Samuel L. Jackson as the evil mastermind that forces a kidnapped Lutz to fight in a modern gladiator arena to entertain the online masses. The cast also includes Lost‘s Daniel Dae Kim as an artist/master of kendo (samurai-style sword fighting), as well as newly added James Remar (as “Tall Man”) and Derek Mears (as “Brutus Jackson”).
The nice thing about The Vampire Diaries is that even though that show’s really all about watching Ian Somerhalder’s eyebrows and torso, Dobrev holds her own. She can be the supportive girlfriend to Stefan (Paul Wesley), but still be the center of attention (especially when she’s playing vampire Katherine). I worry that the “wife role” in this film won’t do her justice, but you know, if someone offered me a part in a movie in which Samuel L. Jackson is the big bad, there’s a character named “Brutus Jackson,” and I could potentially love on an underwear model, I would probably take it, too. There are worse ways to spend a summer hiatus.

Jesse James addresses Nazi photos in another 'Nightline' teaser
Good Morning America has released additional footage of Jesse James’ upcoming Nightline interview, which will be aired tonight at 11:35 p.m. In the promo — embedded below — James talks about the photo of him wearing a Nazi hat. Says James: “[I'm] dealing with losing my marriage and my son and embarrassing everyone and decimating my life, but to be called a racist on top of that is — it, like, it makes me really sad seeing the photo and the way I look. I don’t even remember taking the photo. But it was just — I can tell by the look on my face it was a joke. That was funny then, probably for a minute. But then looking at it in the context of now and my life, it’s not funny.”
James also discusses losing adopted son Louis. (Bullock — who James said suspected him of having affairs — will have custody, and Louis will have her last name.) “It made me sad,” James says. “But I realized why things have to be done in a certain way…. To see her in the role of mother is one of the most wonderful things I’ve ever seen.”
Are you tuning in tonight? Or have you seen enough with all the promos that have surfaced in the past week? READ FULL STORY »

Michael Bay picks up 'Gideon's Sword'
Another movie that Megan Fox will not be starring in. According to Variety, Paramount has optioned the 2011 novel Gideon’s Sword, the first in Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child’s planned techno thriller series, for Transformers auteur Michael Bay. The hope, presumably, is that hero Gideon Crew will join the ranks of Robert Langdon, Jack Ryan, Indiana Jones, Optimus Prime.
Say what you want of Michael Bay (or even this novel), but kudos to the man for putting the delightful scene-chewer Timothy Olyphant (from Justified and last summer’s terrifically underrated Perfect Getaway) in a starring role in another project: the Bay-produced, James Frey-penned sci-fi thriller I Am Number Four. Anyone’s interest piqued by Bay’s latest?

Grant Bowler, we have decided to learn your name
Image Credit: Kevin Parry/WireImage.comGood news, Grant Bowler: You will no longer be known as “the hot guy who played Connor on Ugly Betty.” We’d thought about learning your name when you were cast as Coot, the leader of a pack of werewolf bikers on the upcoming season of True Blood, but A) you’ve yet to make your debut (in leather, fingers crossed) and B) “Coot” is fun to say, so frankly, we were looking forward to referring to you as “the hot guy who plays Coot on True Blood and used to be Connor on Ugly Betty.” Today, however, comes word that you’ve been cast in two films, so…you’re Grant Bowler. Congratulations. READ FULL STORY »

Jimmy Fallon gets Sir Ben Kingsley aboard the Space Train
In line with his tradition of getting esteemed actors to dress in tinfoil to make the journey into outerspace by rail (De Niro did it last year), last night Jimmy Fallon played for guest Sir Ben Kingsley — there to promote Prince of Persia — the scene they shot together in the movie Space Train. Kingsley’s character in the Avatar of mid to late 1994 was Dr. Zedrail — not only the train’s evil conductor, but also…JIMMY’S FATHER. Bombshell. READ FULL STORY »
