Not even in print. And so, tomorrow night, we’ll advance to the red ‘X’ in the middle of the forest, the place our collective GPSes have been steering us toward for 41 episodes. [Spoilers ahead, west-coast pals, so quit reading if you haven't watched your Idol yet!] READ FULL STORY »

On tonight’s Week 9 elimination episode of Dancing With the Stars, one couple was beamed from Planet Mirrorballus back to a world in which using crushed Swarovski crystals as a shimmering body powder is unfairly considered strange.

Megan Fox talks OCD and more with 'Allure.' Are you still interested in what she has to say?
Will the fascination with Megan Fox ever end? I’m guessing yes, but not in the near future. After all, I include myself in the group of people that doesn’t necessarily follow Fox’s career, but rather every single magazine interview she ever participates in. And Fox’s most recent interview is with Allure, where the foul-mouthed Fox — she apparently drops the F-bomb 24 times during the interview — who we see playing so dirty (see: Jennifer’s Body) admits to being really clean. Like, really, extremely clean. Because she has obsessive compulsive disorder. Says Fox, “This is a sickness, I have an illness — this is not OK anymore.”
Other water-cooler tidbits from the article, which is in the June issue of Allure: Fox will “starve to death before I’ll cook for myself” and can “survive a week without eating,” something I imagine she’d have to do since she also avoids restaurant silverware at all costs. (“Putting my mouth where a million other mouths have been, just knowing all the bacteria you carry in your mouth? Ucch!”) Of course, who knows whether or not anyone should take these statements seriously, especially after Fox herself talks to her interviewer about being misunderstood in articles: “I was trying to be lighthearted and have a sense of humor, but I have no desire to express it, really, anymore, because I’ve always been f—ed doing so.” (I’m guessing she might be referring to this.)

Cameron Crowe will direct a movie about a zoo
Image Credit: Jason Merritt/Getty ImagesIt’s about time! The Hollywood Reporter reports Cameron Crowe has signed on to direct an adaptation of Benjamin Mee’s memoir We Bought a Zoo. As the title suggests, the book follows Mee and his family’s adventures after they buy and attempt to rehabilitate a rundown zoo in the English countryside — all while Mee’s wife suffers from terminal cancer. Crowe hasn’t directed a movie since 2005′s critical and box-office disappointment Elizabethtown. I can imagine the reaction to that film must have stung, but as a consummate Crowe fan (really, I’ll defend Vanilla Sky), I’m very excited to hear that he’ll be back in the saddle with a story that sounds like it could hit all the comedy, longing, and sentiment that he does so well. Are you glad to hear Crowe is back at it? The THR report says he’ll be looking for an A-lister to star posthaste — who could you see in the role?

'Charlie St. Cloud' trailer: Zac Efron is vulnerable -- and wet.
Why, hello there, vulnerable Zac Efron! The trailer for July 30′s Charlie St. Cloud — a romantic drama based on Ben Sherwood’s 2004 novel — has made its way onto the web, and it looks to be quite the star vehicle for the High School Musical actor. If you decide to head to the theater to catch this one, I would suggest bringing along a box of Kleenex. Because you’ll need one to dry your eyes while watching a guilt-ridden Charlie (Efron) attempt to move on after his little brother’s death, and at least three to dab your forehead at the sight of a wet Efron wearing a Henley. See the trailer embedded below! READ FULL STORY »

Happy 40th, Tina Fey! We're hooked on you.
I really should have spent the better part of today compiling every hilarious/sad/true quote about women and aging Tina Fey has ever written for 30 Rock into one big hunk of finely aged night cheese, but instead I’m going with a gratuitous shot of hunky Jon Hamm with hooks for hands and this rather devastating barb from Alec Baldwin/Jack Donaghy. “I’m 50. To put it in perspective, that’s like 32 for ladies.” Happy birthday, Tina. If Frank downloads another one of those low-frequency ringtones designed to make people in your peer group wig out, just run away. Bring wine.
What would you gift Tina Fey for the big 4-0?

'Totally Lost': 'Across the Sea' discussion! Special guests! Teasers for tonight's episode!
Image Credit: Mario Perez/ABCLast week, Lost gave us a different kind of episode, one in which we journeyed back to the earlier days of the Island, where we met the Boy in Black, Jacob as Junior, and one crazy Mother. This week on Totally Lost — the Lost web show that is 47 percent Doc Jensen, 44 percent Dan Snierson, and 9 percent “Other/No Response” — we break form to delve into the mysteries of “Across the Sea.” You may find the experience therapeutic. You may also find it a little bizzare. In any case, we hope to shed light on the episode with the help of some very gracious — and hilarious — guests. We’ll also be changing up the teasers this week for the ominously titled “What They Died For.” Sorry, but you don’t get three hints about tonight’s action — you get four! This is it, folks: This is absolutely the very last episode… before the series finale. And before you get all nostalgic, watch the video and then type your feelings below: What did you make of “Across the Sea”? Do you buy into the idea that Mother may have Smoke Monster-y abilities? And if you had to give the Man in Black a name, what would it be? (Hit @dansnierson with your inspiration, and the best answer that’s not Nigel will receive its due in a manner to be determined later. How’s that for a sexy prize?) READ FULL STORY »

'My Fair Lady' remake still in development
Contrary to Carey Mulligan’s statements at the Cannes Film Festival that the remake of My Fair Lady — which she’s admitted to wanting to be cast in — has “gone away for a little while,” Sony execs tell EW that the studio actively continues to develop the film.
Thank you, film gods! Of all of the actress rumored to be in talks for the iconic role immortalized by Audrey Hepburn in 1964 — including Keira Knightley — I’m rooting most for Mulligan, not so much based on her supporting part in the upcoming Wall Street 2 but for her precociously delightful turn as Jenny in last year’s An Education.
When asked about the role, Mulligan has deferred to her former Pride and Prejudice costar Knightley, who, Mulligan claims, is higher up the Hollywood ranks, but frankly, I think Mulligan would bring far more gravity and depth to the role, not to mention the fact that she would probably nail “The Rain in Spain” with a painful-yet-lovable Cockney accent.
How do you feel about Mulligan slipping into Ms. Doolittle’s shoes?

James Franco headed back to 'General Hospital': Jason is sooooo pissed
Image Credit: Ron Tom/ABCPlenty of folks wondered if James Franco had completely lost his marbles when he joined General Hospital for two months last winter as Franco, “an artist whose canvas is murder,” as the promos stated. Was it a publicity stunt? A favor to someone? (He has the same manager as GH’s Steve Burton, who plays Jason.) A burning desire to get close to Sonny Corinthos any way he could? Franco insisted that a soap opera was just another challenge for him as an actor, and from the response his creepy character’s story got from fans, it seems he pulled off this little experiment with flying colors. And it’s certainly no surprise that GH producers are now bringing Franco’s Franco back for another run in Port Charles next month. “Working on General Hospital was a great experience,” Franco says in a press release. ”I love the cast, writers, directors and producers. They have become a new family for me. I can’t wait for the work we will do this summer.”
What can we expect? In true over-the-top daytime-drama fashion, the producers promise “a wild ride of mystery, music, murder, and mayhem.” DUM DUM DUUUUM! And the truth is, Franco does have unfinished business with Jason, having slipped out of town just after that crazy Lulu-Sam bomb scare. GH teases that Jason and Dante will team up against Franco and bring the story to ”a chilling climax” later this summer. So who’s psyched to see Franco torment Jason some more? Did you love Franco’s first run in Port Charles? What do you think of his decision to do daytime drama? READ FULL STORY »

'Nutty Professor 3' in development: Are you ready for more of the Klumps?
Image Credit: Bruce McBroomIn news about sequels you probably haven’t thought about recently: Eddie Murphy has given us an update on the third installment of The Nutty Professor, telling Access Hollywood that there is “something that might be kind of funny” written. The project is currently in development with Universal, the studio told EW. (But don’t be celebrating/jeering quite yet — things are still very tentative.)
Confession: The first movie made me cry. What can I say? I don’t like seeing people get picked on — unless I’m doing it. Confession No. 2: I never saw the second one, released in 2000, because of confession No. 1 and the not-so-nice reviews it garnered. It’s been ten years since we’ve seen a Nutty Professor flick — have the Klumps have been out of commission too long to make a comeback? Or are you ready for another date with Buddy Love?
