Hollywood Headlines
On Friday, The Tonight Show underwent some serious downsizing. In order to stay on budget, the show lost 20 staffers, while producers and Jay Leno, himself, took significant pay cuts. A spokesman for Leno released a statement saying: "Jay’s foremost concern is for the wonderful people who work for The Tonight Show. He did what was necessary to ensure their well-being."

Some Russian activists have sued Madonna for voicing her support for gay rights at a recent concert in St. Petersburg. A law was passed in the city early this year that makes it illegal to promote homosexuality to minors. During the show, Madge asked fans to raise their hands and show off pink armbands in support of the gays and lesbians in the crowd. The activists are asking for around $10.5 million in "damages."

Second chances and soccer moms
When Hollywood needs a leading man seeking redemption, it's starting to look no further than Gerard Butler. After playing a former biker gang member turned preacher as he did in last year's Machine Gun Preacher, Butler will next play a veteran big wave surfer who trains a younger novice in Chasing Mavericks and then a former soccer pro looking to win back his family in Playing For Keeps (formerly Playing the Field). The latter won't be out until December, and finally has its first trailer online.
The dramedy, directed Gabriele Muccino (The Pursuit of Happyness, Seven Pounds), sees Butler as George Dryer, a former soccer player whose play off the field has lost him a wife (Total Recall's Jessica Biel) and his son (The Walking Dead's Noah Lomax). When Dryer moves to Virginia to coach his son's soccer team and get his life back together, a new career opportunity presents itself after Dryer meets former sportscaster Denise (Catherine Zeta-Jones). There's also supposed to be plenty of Butler hooking up with soccer moms in the movie, though that angle has been dropped in lieu of a more heartfelt trailer.

It might not have Arnold Schwarzenegger or Sharon Stone but the remake of Total Recall makes up for those omissions by having one of the sexiest cast, Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, and Bryan Cranston (yes, we consider Cranston sexy), in recent memory.
So, in celebration of this gorgeous cast (including the infamous three-breasted prostitute), we invite you to check out or photos galleries of the cast of Total Recall. And if you're still on fence about actually seeing the movie in theaters or not, check after the jump for Richard Roeper's review.

ReelzChannel Celebrity Rundown
It was only last week that Robert Pattinson's girlfriend, Kristen Stewart, made a public apology ostensibly for cheating with married director Rupert Sanders, but Rob is already shacking up with another beautiful, A-list celebrity. The actor has reportedly been crashing at Reese Witherspoon's house in Ojai, Calif. The two starred together in last year's Water for Elephants, but, of course, Witherspoon is happily married and expecting her third child, so this gossip probably isn't nearly as juicy as it sounds.

The recently divorced Katy Perry has been spotted out in West Hollywood with musician John Mayer. It's okay, Katy. We all make bad choices when we're on the rebound.

In absurdly-high-priced-accessory news, a watch worn by screen legend Steve McQueen in Le Mans was sold for nearly $800k at a recent auction. The same auction house, Profiles in History, also sold off a 1938 copy of Gone With the Wind signed by most of the movie's cast for a cool $135,300. Hopefully exorbitant prices spent on Hollywood memorabilia is an indicator of an economic upswing.

Actor and comedian Ricky Gervais made an announcement on his blog Tuesday about a new project. He is working with frequent collaborator Karl Pilkington on a web series called "Learn English with Ricky Gervais." He hopes to have it subtitled in many languages, including perhaps Klingon.

In a recent interview, Jessica Biel admitted that she has done "almost nothing" in preparation for her upcoming wedding to Justin Timberlake. Perhaps she should get suggestions from some of her fiancé's fans who have been busy planning a wedding to JT since they were twelve.

Who was the "most popular girl" at the recent San Diego Comic-Con?
That's not an easy title to bestow, considering this year's Con was host to dozens of the hottest actresses in Hollywood, scores of scantily-clad promo models, and hundreds, if not thousands, of cute geeky girls dressed in scandalous cosplay costumes such as "Power Girl", "Poison Ivy", and "Slave Leia". However, actress Jessica Biel, who attended this year's Con to promote her new movie, director Len Wiseman's Total Recall remake, seems pretty sure that she knows the one "girl" who deserves the title, uploading a photo of herself with her selection on her personal WhoSay page. After checking out the photo for ouselves, we pretty much have to agree with her. What do you think?

Apparently, actress Jessica Biel has a hard time committing. At least, when it comes to superhero movie roles, that is.
Biel was once in talks with Warner Bros. to play Wonder Woman in a proposed live-action Justice League of America movie. Now, THR has reported that Biel "got cold feet" about playing the supervillain Viper only a few hours after meeting with 20th Century Fox about the role, and she will no longer be appearing in director James Mangold's (3:10 to Yuma) The Wolverine. (Could Wesley Snipes' criticism of her performance in Blade Trinity have soured her on comic book movies?)
what's next for Biel? >> Posted 07.18.12 by BrentJS -
It seems the buzz surrounding comic-based movies generated by this past weekend's San Diego Comic-Con — not to mention the success of The Amazing Spider-Man and the fever pitch level of anticipation for The Dark Knight Rises, which opens this Friday — has prompted several studios to start making some progress on their own superhero movies. Yesterday, we learned that Marvel Studios will be adding some much-needed diversity to its cast of heroes, with the news that Anthony Mackie (The Hurt Locker) could be joining Captain America: The Winter Soldier as Sam Wilson, a.k.a. The Falcon. Now, we've learned that the long-in-devlopment Lobo live-action movie may have found its headliner, and Hugh Jackman will be squaring off with a green-haired vixen in The Wolverine.
Shelved after original director Guy Ritchie dropped out in January 2010 to focus on the sequel to Sherlock Holmes, the Lobo movie gained new life this past April with the hiring of Brad Peyton (Journey 2: The Mysterious Island) to rewrite and direct the adaptation. It seems that Peyton really enjoyed directing Dwayne Johnson in The Mysterious Island, because the actor formally known as "The Rock" revealed that he might be playing the space-faring bounty hunter and all-around badass "bastich" in the movie.
Rumors of me possibly playing LOBO are true. [Producer] Joel Silver and Brad Peyton working on it now. That could be fun.. ?#RockTalk

For the first time since 2003's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, actress Jessica Biel has returned to the horror genre in the upcoming The Tall Man (or Secrets, as its known overseas). Set in a small mining town, Biel stars as the town nurse whose son becomes one of several children in the dying town who have been abducted by a mysterious figure known as the Tall Man (no, not the Tall Man from the Phantasm movies).
The Tall Man debuted at the South By Southwest Festival in March, and was quickly picked up for distribution by Image Entertainment who have released a new international trailer and poster for the movie, which will hit theaters in August. The trailer is rather brief and is mostly concerned with presenting the Tall Man and Biel's obsession with finding him but also hints at a psychological twist during Biel's conversation with a police officer (Stephen McHattie).

Whether or not you're happy about the upcoming remake of Total Recall or are unaware or never saw director Paul Verhoeven's 1990 adaptation, Columbia Pictures plans to sell audiences on the movie by releasing footage of the high-adrenaline action that director Len Wiseman (Underworld, Live Free or Die Hard) has in store.
Building off of the action-packed trailer released in April, the second feature-length trailer starts off similarly, with factory worker Doug Quaid (Colin Farrell) admitting to his wife (Kate Beckinsale) that he isn't happy with his life. He eventually ends up at a memory-implanting company called Rekall, where things go quickly awry. Quaid becomes a hunted man and discovers that he may be a spy. Or is he? The trailer doesn't slow down long enough to answer as it provides more of the fight between Quaid and his "wife," as well as more chase scenes, more fight scenes, and more overall explosion-ness than the previous trailer.
