They're Back!


Remember when Kal Penn selfishly decided to go to the White House? Well, bleary eyed from studying, I had to do a double take when I saw the news: Harold and Kumar will be gracing us with their stoner presence once again on the big screen! Come next Christmas, the boys will be back at it with another installment entitled, A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas. Thank you Warner Brothers! You guys have single handedly given me a reason to make it out of finals alive.

Octomom Can Have No More Babies


Tax payers of California can now breathe easily. There will be no more babies for Nadya Suleman, of Octomom fame, all thanks to some benign fibroid tumors. In an exclusive interview with Radar Online, Suleman confirmed she plans to check into a hospital this week to have the tumors removed from her uterus. This equates to the removal of about half of her reproductive organs which will make future pregnancies impossible. Meanwhile, the 14 children will be left to the care of nannies throughout the weeklong recovery.

Ledger's Last Film


Not be be insensitive or offensive, but you really are worth more when you're dead. Heath Ledger unfortunately passed before finishing "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus," but fortunately for the film and its all-star cast (Johnny Depp, Jude Law, Colin Farrell), the fact that this was Ledger's last film will mean big bucks. The film wrapped without the star and now sales is deciding how to proceed. "Imaginarium" was initially set for an industry screening at Cannes, but now it seems the film will sell to a studio before the festival. If a deal can be reached, the Cannes screening would be the starting point for the studio's marketing campaign. I'm interested to see how this one proceeds.

There is no surprise Twilight and Slumdog Millionaire are the top contenders. Following tradition, MTV has created yet another category for this year, Best Song in a Movie. Vote away!

HUGE Merger, HUGE

William Morris Agency and Endeavor agreed to merge on Monday to create THE premiere mega-agency in the business. There is no question they will change the landscape for talent representation and most likely out-perform their biggest competitor, Creative Artists Agency. William Morris Endeavor Entertainment will be led by WMA CEO Jim Wiatt as chairman and Endeavor head honchos Ari Emanuel and Patrick Whitesell, and WMA's Dave Wirtschafter will serve as co-CEO's. This is foundation-shattering news for the biz but the question remains, despite the culture clash will everyone be able to get along?
