Britney Spears' fiance, Jason Trawick, was named as her co-conservator on Wednesday. The pop singer's father, Jamie Spears, has had legal control over his daughter's finances since February 2008, and the request to make Trawick a co-conservator came from Britney, herself. The conservatorship will not be lifted completely until a judge makes the determination, based on advice from Spears' doctors, that she is healthy enough to manage her own affairs.

This morning, O'Donnell explained that she was only worried about Lindsay's well being and compared the actress to the late Whitney Houston.

Another day, another thriller about prosopagnosia.
French writer-director Julien Magnat's 2011 straight-to-DVD indie thriller Faces in the Crowd dealt with the disorder, which causes "face blindness" or the inability to recognize faces, in a story that saw Milla Jovovich stalked by a serial killer after suffering from a head injury. Katherine Heigl is the latest actress to have the affliction in the similarly plotted Face Blind.
Deadline reports that Heigl will produce and star in the movie, where she will play a psychologist who is struck with the affliction and finds herself stalked by the man who terrorized one of her patients. See how Face Blind is different from Faces in the Crowd? Jovovich played a schoolteacher, not a psychologist.

With the holidays right around the corner, it's no surprise there are plenty of rom-coms to ring in the new year — a major one being the heavily celebrity-saturated, New Year's Eve. With big names such as Ashton Kutcher, Katherine Heigl, Zac Efron, Sarah Jessica Parker and Josh Duhamel (just to name a few), what's not to like? Apparently, a lot.
"...the kind of marzipan movie that can sweetly soak up a holiday evening."
— Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly"Few of the plot strands connect to one another, much less resolve themselves with any degree of wit or daring."
— Andrew Barker, Variety"...a dreary plod through the sands of time until finally the last grain has trickled through the hourglass of cinematic sludge. How is it possible to assemble more than two dozen stars in a movie and find nothing interesting for any of them to do?"
— Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Time"...a depressing two-hour infomercial pitching Times Square as the only place in the universe you want to be when the ball drops at midnight on Dec. 31. (Believe me, it's not.)"
— Stephen Holden, New York Times"A movie so excruciating that it makes its predecessor, Valentine's Day, seem like Nashville in comparison..."
— Melissa Anderson, Village Voice"...bad beyond belief."
— Peter Travers, Rolling Stone -

Katherine Heigl movies are essentially all about the same thing: Heigl finding love in the most improbable circumstances. With that in mind, Heigl's fans are sure to love One for the Money, based on the first of a series of novels by popular author Janet Evanovich.
Some might say the world of bounty hunting is filled with danger and violence, but according to the first trailer and poster for One for the Money, the job is actually filled with kooky characters like friendly hookers and harmless, naked old men. It's also apparently the perfect career choice for anyone with sass and moxie. Based on this trailer and last year's The Bounty Hunter, the trade also offers limitless possibilities for finding your true love.

Despite appearances to the contrary, 20th Century Fox's planned remake of Robert Zemeckis's 1984 action-adventure romatic comedy, Romancing the Stone, is apparently not dead, even though there has been little to no progress made on it since it was first announced back in December 2008. According to MovieHole, a "trusted source" has revealed that the remake is still in active development at Fox and that producer Emma Watts is looking to choose "someone newish to the moviemaking scene" to helm the movie. It was not revealed whether screenwriter Daniel McDermott (Eagle Eye) is still involved, but apparently Watts is looking at Taylor Kitsch and Gerard Butler to play Michael Douglas's character, Jack T. Colton, and Katherine Heigl for the role of Joan Wilder, played by Kathleen Turner in the original.

In January, Kevin Bacon described the various set designs for the upcoming X-Men prequel, X-Men: First Class with Moviefone. Bacon plays wealthy villain Sebastian Shaw, who heads a secret mutant society called the Hellfire Club.
I've got some pretty nice pads and I'm kind of slick in that way. The set design is fantastic. I've only seen the sets that I've been on and they are really interesting and very '60s modern and super cool, and beautiful. I have one set that's kind of like an inner sanctum and then I also have a submarine; the inside of the sub has elements of my other set. I have my own set of style and wanted to translate it over to my board room and stuff.
The latest First Class image shows one of those sets, an icy blue hall of mirrors, one that contains Bacon and First Class co-star January Jones as mutant telepath Emma Frost. Bacon referenced the set in his Movieline interview by saying, "we do have a really, really super cool scene in a hall of mirrors and that's going to be really spectacular." The picture seems to be before anything "spectacular" happens, but it's exciting to think of what danger could occur, isn't it?
