Keith Olbermann's sudden resignation from MSNBC was apparently in the works for months after "years of behind-the-scenes tension, conflicts and near terminations," according to the New York Times. Olbermann negotiated an even sweeter exit package than previously reported, netting a $7M+ payout and only having to stay off the air for 4 1/2 months.

PR hound/director Kevin Smith is drumming up interest in his latest pic, Red State, by accusing Cop Out star Bruce Willis of being "f***ing soul-crushing" to work with and blaming him in part for the movie's lousy box office performance, saying, "I had no f***ing help from this dude whatsoever" in promoting the film.

Given a chance to take off his shirt, Matthew McConaughey will definitely take it, as he did while on a run in Malibu over the weekend. Also in Malibu over the weekend, and nearly as shirtless, was Lindsay Lohan in a cleavage-bearing top as she shopped with pal Patrick Aufdenkamp.

Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart have put their 9,000-square-foot Chelsea loft up for sale for $16M. Apparently upkeep is a pain, running between $13K-$15K a month, and they need the dough to purchase a $12.5 million estate they have their eye on in Mandeville Canyon, where Steven Spielberg lives.

The Golden Globe nominations are already out, and the Oscar nominations are forthcoming, but what about the Razzies — the awards show that celebrates the worst Hollywood has to offer?

Last week, Columbia Pictures released a rather small teaser poster for Sony Pictures Animation's The Smurfs movie, a CGI/live-action 3-D adaptation of the popular children's cartoon of the same name created by Peyo, that showed three of the Smurfs from behind as they looked down on New York City from atop a skyscraper. This week, Columbia has released a new large-format still image from the movie that shows six of the Smurfs from the front as they stand atop a rock in Central Park.

Columbia Pictures recently announced the start of principal photography on The Smurfs movie, a "hybrid live-action and animated family comedy" in 3-D.

New Line Cinema has announced that it will make a live-action/CGI adaptation of Speedy Gonzalez, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Comedian George Lopez has been signed to voice the hyperactive, fast-talking rodent, who was first introduced by Looney Tunes in the 1950s.
Before you fear that Hollywood's remake bug has taken a very racist turn — Speedy Gonzalez is just one of a slew of older cartoon characters that would fail today's PC standards miserably — producer Anne Lopez has said the new Speedy will be nothing like the old and will carry the "Latino seal of approval."
We wanted to make sure that it was not the Speedy of the 1950s — the racist Speedy. Speedy's going to be a misunderstood boy who comes from a family that works in a verymeticulous setting, and he's a little too fast for what they do. He makes a mess of that. So he has to go out in the world to find what he's good at.
Wait ... a rodent who is unappreciated by his family and has to leave to find his way? Wasn't that Ratatouille?
Alec Sokolow and Joel Cohen (not Coen), who co-wrote the 2004 Garfield movie, will pen the script. No release dates or other casting decisions have been announced.
