Like Charlie's Angels, but dangerous!
Even though the The Expendables 2 was a bit redundant and perhaps too self-aware at times, it was still an entertaining action movie with all-star cast appeal. A sequel is already in development, with Wesley Snipes, Nicolas Cage, Harrison Ford and Clint Eastwood all being courted to join the cast. Noticeably absent from that list are the names of any female action movie stars. We say, if the gimmick of the franchise is surprising new cast additions, why not push it further than bringing in Indy by bringing in Ripley or The Bride.
Or, better yet, how about a stand-alone movie with an all-female cast of female action heroes from yesterday and today? Just think of the possibilities!
Imagine a revenge movie written and directed by Quentin Tarantino about an all-female super-spy team run by Sigourney Weaver, with members that include: Uma Thurman as the knife expert; Gina Carano as the pugilist/demolitions expert; Jada Pinkett Smith as the animal/gun expert; Kate Beckinsale as the poison expert/seductress; Chloë Moretz as the trainee (Fox Force Five!). But, enough about our fantasy she-woman action movie. We want to know what you think: Which female action movie stars of yesterday and today do you think could make the line-up in an all-female Expendables-style movie?

We're not sure of current exchange rate, but we'll guess that half a million British pounds is worth about a trillion in dollars.
What do you get when you mix a nebbish-y British art curator, a Texas rodeo queen, and a plot to steal half a million pounds from an eccentric millionaire? The plot for Gambit, CBS Films' remake of the 1966 movie of the same name that originally starred Michael Caine and Shirley MacLaine. Instead, it's Academy Award–winner Colin Firth and Cameron Diaz who plot to steal money from a rich art collector (Alan Rickman), who, at least in the trailer, prefers a more clothing optional approach to work. The first trailer shows Firth and Diaz plotting their scheme to sell a phoney Monet painting utilizing a unique group of characters played by Cloris Leachman and Stanley Tucci. Joel and Ethan Coen wrote the script, and it has plenty of that Coenesque charm.

With every awards show, there are a few trends that stand out and a few stars who rock similar looks. We decided to put some of the nights most memorable looks head to head to see who made a look memorable, and who was just wearing some clothes.
Velvet Beauty
Though many celebs took the night to wear some decidedly springtime fabrics and colors, others kept in mind that it is still actually February and went for a wintry look. Angelina Jolie and the record-breaking Christopher Plummer both looked cozy while wearing velvet, but who wore it best? While Ms. Jolie is turning up on plenty of best dressed lists for her Atelier Versace gown, we think Christoper Plummer looked positively regal and dashing in his velvet tux, and he didn't even need to flash any skin. So the 82-year-old award winner takes home the prize for Best in Velvet, too.

Planned or not, the first trailer for the motherhood-advice-book-cum-romcom-movie, What to Expect When You Are Expecting, is now out, and we finally get an idea as to how the best-selling advice book has been converted to the big screen — it hasn't.
What we seem to be in for, based on the first trailer, is an ensemble comedy featuring pregnant women and clueless men. Starring Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, and Elizabeth Banks, among many others, the movie deigns to be "a look at the lives of five couples as they prepare to become parents."

X Factor USA got off to a somewhat rocky start last night when 43-year-old blogger Geo Godley exposed himself to such an extent during his song "I'm a Stud" that Fox had to cover up his privates with a large X. Judge Antonio "L.A." Reid called it "offensive, disgusting, distasteful, upsetting," while Paula Abdul fled backstage and nearly vomited.

After hacked naked pics of Scarlett Johansson made the rounds on the web yesterday — sorry folks, we're not going to link to them — the actress has contacted the FBI about the matter and the agency said it was investigating "the person or groups responsible for a series of computer intrusions involving high-profile figures." The FBI could be referring to Mila Kunis, whose phone was also apparently hacked, with the thief lifting pics of Friends with Benefits co-star Justin Timberlake in compromising positions.

Lionsgate has added two new actors to its growing ensemble of What to Expect When You're Expecting, the adaptation of Heidi Murkoff's best-selling pregnancy guidebook. The studio is planning to turn the book into a romantic comedy that focuses on four interconnected couples that are going through the tribulations of expectant parenthood. The cast already includes Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Brooklyn Decker, Anna Kendrick, and Chris Rock and, the studio has just announced, Glee's Matthew Morrison.
Morrison will play a character named Evan who is teamed up with Diaz on a popular celebrity dance show. Through the show the two characters fall in love and, eventually, become pregnant, while the two are in the national spotlight.
Morrison isn't the only TV actor added to the cast. EW reports that True Blood's Joe Manganiello has joined the movie as well.
