No word yet on who Gordon-Levitt may play, but fanboys around the Web — not yet ready to give up on the well-traveled rumor that Batman foe Hugo Strange will appear in Nolan’s third and final Bat-flick — are speculating that Gordon-Levitt will take on the role of the mad shrink whose comic book resume of evil includes cracking the code of the caped crusader’s secret identity and then trying to sell it other super villains. Can you imagine Gordon-Levitt playing auction barker for Bruce Wayne’s name? I think I can. READ FULL STORY »

Next week's 'NCIS' to feature 'lost scene.' What do you hope it is? -- EXCLUSIVE
Image Credit: CBSThe Feb. 8 episode of NCIS finds Gibbs’ team undergoing mandatory psych evaluations. It’s Sweeps fun, yes, and a nod to shows like M*A*S*H, but also something we can all admit is probably long overdue. The episode was written by exec producer Gary Glasberg, who tells EW each character will get his or her time with Dr. Rachel Cranston (Wendy Makkena), and we’ll see flashbacks to key moments from every season of the eight-year-old show. The episode will also feature one never-before-seen scene from the series that CBS is dubbing the ”NCIS lost scene.” To get fans talking, the network has just launched the #NCISLostScene campaign. Starting today, a new piece of that lost scene will be revealed in a photo puzzle (pictured) at www.cbs.com/ncis daily, along with a clue for fans to guess what it is. When you take the conversation to Twitter, use the hashtag #NCISLostScene.
We were able to get two clues out of Glasberg: READ FULL STORY »
Matthew Perry makes us, Letterman squirm
Matthew Perry, looking very dapper and surprisingly ageless, chitchatted with David Letterman last night about the joys (?) of getting colonics. Shudder. I can’t hear people talk about alternative medicine without thinking of Undeclared‘s amazing “Sick In the Head” episode. Cute socks, though: READ FULL STORY »
Matt Lauer calls 'bull' on Groundhog Day
The Midwest may be covered in snow, and the East Coast is still trying to dig itself out, but Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow this morning, so fear not: Winter is almost over. It’s not totally clear from the video that there’s any reaction from the wriggly rodent at all, but if a guy in a top hat says something is true, who are we to disagree? READ FULL STORY »
Big Shill Final Four: Can the Progressive Insurance Lady tame the Budweiser Clydesdales? Does the Pillsbury Doughboy have the stomach for smacking around sweet ol' Mrs. Butterworth?
Image Credit: Budweiser Clydesdales: Scott Cunningham/Getty ImagAfter four rounds of Big Shill madness, the wheat has risen. The cream has been separated from the chaff. Three old-school advertising icons have reached the Final Four, joined by one young upstart who’s rallied an army and stuck a stake through the hearts of the competition. Flo the Progressive Insurance Lady isn’t just an enthusiastic ambassador for her product, she’s a warrior. Just ask the debonair Old Spice Guy, who was rudely sent home on the horse he rode in on. Flo is ruthless, but now she faces her biggest challenge yet: the Budweiser Clydesdales, who’ve trampled everyone in their path so far. Can a relatively new insurance gal tame the most iconic American symbol for the most American of beverages — beer? And what about the other semifinal matchup, which many pundits are affectionately calling the Griddle Bowl. We’ll see if the Pillsbury Doughboy is still chuckling after the sweet but savvy Mrs. Butterworth buries a dozen haymakers in his gut. Because this is it. Two of these champions are going home, and the other two will survive to face each other in the most-buzzed-about advertising mascot rumble since Jacko and Max Headroom threw down in Arsenio’s green room back in 1989. Immortality awaits.

Carson Daly to host 'Idol' rival 'The Voice.' Will he be a Seacrest or a Dunkleman?
Image Credit: Scott Gries/MTVMy immediate guess? A Seacrest. Honestly, though Last Call with Carson Daly revamped itself last year to focus on musicians, it’s been far too long since the guy has hosted a music-centric show that airs when most of the viewing public is conscious. So I’m ecstatic to see that he’s landed himself a primetime gig as host of American Idol‘s NBC rival, The Voice, which searches for the next big recording artist. “Carson is the perfect choice to host this exciting new series owing to his credibility, popularity, and relevance in both the music world and social media,” said Executive Vice President of Alternative Programming and Production Paul Telegdy in a release. “As he has demonstrated on his late night show, Carson has the knack of recognizing new talent, which is a key component in The Voice.”

Cameron Diaz set for Shirley MacLaine's role in 'Gambit' remake. Savvy? Risky? Both?
Image Credit: Travis Jourdain/PR Photos; Everett CollectionCameron Diaz is set to star in the Gambit remake, in a role made famous by Shirley MacLaine. Now before you go racing off to grab your pitchforks (as we all do whenever any contemporary actress takes on a role previously owned by a legend), let’s think of the reasons that this could actually pay off for audiences — and for Diaz herself. Though it’s been a long while since a Cameron Diaz vehicle has reached bona fide hit status (about eight years, when she headlined Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle — and, no, the Shrek films don’t count), Diaz could nudge her way into that commercial-critical success sweet spot with the Coen Brothers-scripted Gambit, in which she plays a Texan steer roper who helps a robber (played by Colin Firth) enact a crime. Let’s look back at the last part of that sentence: Signing on to star alongside this year’s (favored) Oscar winner in a film scripted by an Academy and audience favorite? There are definitely dumber things she can do. Like, say, The Holiday. READ FULL STORY »
Tyler Perry in, Idris Elba out of Alex Cross reboot: Producer explains why -- EXCLUSIVE
Image Credit: Janet Mayer/PR Photos; Charles Norfleet/PR PhotosLast August, when news broke that The Wire‘s Idris Elba was to follow in the footsteps of Morgan Freeman (Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider) and reboot the James Patterson detective character Alex Cross on the big screen, we were psyched — and this was before we’d seen his Golden Globe-nominated turn as a detective in the miniseries Luther. EW chatted with Elba last October about the film, which was to then have been directed by David Twohy (A Perfect Getaway, Pitch Black), and all he would reveal was that the script was “phenomenal” and if he could pick his dream costar/nemesis, it’d be Joaquin Phoenix. So cut to the news today that cameras will be rolling this June on I, Alex Cross with Tyler Perry in the titular role and director Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious and xXx) at the helm. What happened? READ FULL STORY »
'HIMYM': Neil Patrick Harris tweets Katy Perry episode promos. This looks promising...
Earlier this month, we asked you how you think How I Met Your Mother guest star Katy Perry would compare to the show’s other seemingly endless supply of guest stars. And, based on the promos for the episode starring the “California Gurls” singer — which became available yesterday after Neil Patrick Harris tweeted them: “CBS just emailed me promos for the Katy Perry ep of HIMYM. Not sure if I’m supposed to tweet ‘emyet. Oops.” — she’ll rank somewhere between Wayne Brady and Britney Spears. (HIMYM fans know where on the spectrum those two fall.) Unlike some of the CBS sitcom’s guest stars, Perry, I’ve always felt, has great comedic timing (which I’m sure was bolstered by marrying a certain British comedian). Just watch her fluster Ann Curry on Today (at about 1:50) earlier this summer. As for the promos, watch them here. And, no, she’s not the mother.
Anyone else think Perry, from certain angles, looks like a brunette twin of The Big Bang Theory‘s Kaley Cuoco?

Sorry Bunny, there's no 'Big Lebowski' sequel
Tara Reid is a tease. Two weeks ago, she told press at Charmaine Blakes’ 1st Annual Golden Globe Viewing Party to Help Eliminate Child Trafficking that she’d be shooting The Big Lebowski 2 — this year. Holy Little Lebowski Urban Achievers! A Big Lebowski sequel! I’d sever my own toe for another trip to Dude-land. But was Bunny simply being fatuous? According to a spokesperson for the Coen brothers, who would probably know such things, there is no Big Lebowski 2 in the works. Reid’s rep writes to EW, “She heard Jeff Bridges say that he wanted to make Big Lebowski 2 and have all the original cast members in it, so she may have misspoke, thinking that included her based on what Jeff said.” Sheesh, this is the kind of bongled conclusion that will get you tangled with a bunch of nihilists.
