That’s the question that’s got Hollywood buzzing today after a bunch of names were floated online as possible stars of summer 2012′s The Bourne Legacy. Ever since Matt Damon said that he wouldn’t be returning for a fourth installment in the action-packed, amnesiac spy franchise, fans of the series — and its creators — have wondered who would fill his sizable shoes. Tony Gilroy, who wrote the first three chapters and who will direct Legacy instead of Paul Greengrass, is now reportedly in the process of meeting several young Hollywood actors for the spin-off film. It should be noted that none of these actors would be playing Damon’s character, Jason Bourne, but rather another assassin on the run a la Bourne. The list is a mix of Who’s Who and Who’s That?

Charlie Sheen's worldview brought to visual life
Image Credit: Jef Castro
All day, I’d been having trouble visualizing Charlie Sheen’s unique interpretation of reality, in which he is a “Vatican assassin warlock” with fire-breathing fists, standing in an octagon and preparing to fight against some kind of maggot/earthworm/clown hybrid that would not be able to handle his power and truth. I need pictures, people, else I cannot see! Luckily, EW.com’s very own imaging wizard assassin was on hand to help me out.
You guys. Look at the Google image search results for “vatican assassin.” Look at them!

This week in trailers: 'The Hangover Part II' behaves badly, 'Paul' and 'Bad Teacher' ask you to pardon their French
Time to plug in the headphones, folks: There’s enough bad language in this week’s trailers to make your coworkers think you’ve got Andrew Dice Clay hiding out in your cubicle. (So that’s where he is!) First up, a teaser for The Hangover Part II — 100 percent profanity-free, but still dirty-feeling enough that you might want to Purell your monitor after you take a gander. Next, we’ve got Seth Rogen and Cameron Diaz respectively swearing up a blue streak in red band spots for Paul and Bad Teacher, both of which star horny, preternaturally skinny creatures looking for a good time.

This Week on Stage: 'Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark' gets help from a Broadway vet and Mandy Patinkin is upstaged by an Anne Frank marionette
Image Credit: Joan MarcusWill a week ever pass without Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark news? Apparently not: Amid rumors that the musical’s official opening might be postponed a sixth time (the show’s reps assured EW on Tuesday that they’re still aiming for the planned March 15 premiere), producers hired musical supervisor Paul Bogaev (Aida) to help Julie Taymor, Bono, and Co. rejigger the play. Turning around the problematic production in under a month could take superhuman effort — but Bogaev has major cred when it comes to wrangling high-concept spectacles (like the roller skating-heavy Starlight Express) and rock musicians-cum-composers (like Aida’s Elton John).

Jimmy Kimmel's post-Oscar show: Having a ball with Sofia Vergara
Jimmy Kimmel’s post-Oscar special on Sunday night won’t just be entertaining, it will also be health-conscious and educational. The ABC funnyman and work-out fiend is finally sharing his secrets to keeping many of Hollywood’s sexiest women in fine form. Sofia Vergara “was a disgusting hippopotamus” before Jimmy K introduced her to his Hottie Body Humpilates, and there’s no arguing with the system’s results. Just look at Emily Blunt bounce that ball!
'American Idol' semifinalist Casey Abrams: Does he have a chance of winning?
Image Credit: FoxPredictably, last night’s American Idol — in which the judges pared down a solid group of singers to 24 finalists — brought plenty of egregious cuts (see: Colton Dixon, John Wayne Schulz), heart-breaking ousters (aw, give us a hug, Jacee Badeaux!), and head-scratching moments (ouch, those were my eyes, Lauren Alaina’s dress!). Of course, the show also gave us the chance to cheer for some of our early favorites in the competition, including (the reportedly hospitalized) Casey Abrams, a talented performer who has yet to crash and burn on the Idol stage. But even after watching Randy unload heaping praise on the contestant, calling him the most musical performer on Idol ever (dawg), I’m still left wondering: Does Casey have a chance of winning this whole thing?

Anne Hathaway's five Oscar gown changes: We'll have all the (exclusive!) details
Alongside the many burning questions we have leading up to this Sunday’s Oscars (The King’s Speech or The Social Network? Melissa Leo or Hailee Steinfeld?) is this sartorial nail-biter: Just what will co-host Anne Hathaway wear? The perennially best-dressed actress is no stranger to lighting up the red carpet (see here, here, and here), so that can only mean one thing for her big moment as emcee: MAJOR. So major, in fact, you won’t want to wait until Monday morning to get the down-low on all her designer duds, right? Well, you’re in luck, because EW has the exclusive scoop on all five gowns Hathaway will be wearing and we will unveil them in real-time on PopWatch Sunday night. That means each time she walks out in a new frock, you can head straight here to get all the glitzy details. Cool, right? See you then… (And you’re welcome.)

'Book of Mormon' bows on Broadway: How offensive is it?
There were no protesters to be found outside NYC’s Eugene O’Neill Theatre on 49th St. yesterday evening. Ordinarily, that information wouldn’t be news, but last night wasn’t quite an ordinary occasion: It was the first preview performance of The Book of Mormon, the new musical by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone and Avenue Q co-creator Robert Lopez. (Check out EW’s Q&A with them in this week’s issue.) An irreverent tuner about two Mormon missionaries in poverty-stricken Uganda, Mormon has been touted as the most potentially obscene production to ever grace the Great White Way. So just how off-color is it? READ FULL STORY »
Glenn Beck owns up to 'one of the worst analogies of all time'
Glenn Beck, under fire for comparing Reform Judaism to radicalized Islam on Tuesday, opened up his radio show yesterday with a lengthy apology about his remarks. “I’ve always told you to do your own homework, and in this case, I didn’t do enough homework,” said Beck, during a six-minute mea culpa that didn’t include tears but did include a fair amount of self-flagellation. “I made one of the worst analogies of all time. And I knew it when I said it,” said Beck. “Here I am talking about Judaism and I start comparing Islamic extremism. It was a nightmare.” Watch the entire clip below: READ FULL STORY »
'30 Rock': The TGS woman-haters club
Image Credit: Ali Goldstein/NBCHere in its fifth season, TGS seems to have lost its way. You probably don’t even remember this, but TGS (formerly known as The Girlie Show) started as a show for women, starring women. As such, our dear Elizabeth Lemon believes the show should be “elevating the way women are perceived in society.” But it turns out, TGS can’t help but do the opposite. When Jenna ended up on the cool, feminist blog Joan of Snark, Liz discovered the post “TGS Hates Women.” (Note to all humans, JoanOfSnark.com doesn’t really exist. I tried it, and it only redirects you to this NBC page.) With Tracy gone to Africa, Liz thought the show was doing an even better job of featuring women. But all of their women-centric sketches ended with said women getting their periods. It was weird. Then, Lemon got her period and fired everyone. Maybe it’s time to rethink some things.
