The opening of the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., is just the beginning of what is sure to be a contentious and interesting presidential race. Republican nominee Mitt Romney's wife Ann was one of the speakers the first night of the convention, a public-speaking role that was new to the potential First Lady. Should the Romneys end up in the White House, it's possible that Ann could end up in a movie at some point, like many First Ladies before her. While you're thinking of who could possibly play Ann Romney, either as a First Lady or in a movie about the Romney campaign — don't forget, John McCain's unsuccessful 2008 Presidential campaign was adapted into the HBO movie Game Change — Hollywood Dailies has compiled a look at First Ladies on the small and big screen in the clip above.

There's lots of buzz about Natalie Portman going nude for a Dior Lipcolor ad, but in reality, the photo is very tasteful and rather tame. Portman looks gorgeous, but it's a little reminiscent of the far more provocative Calvin Klein Obsession ads from the 1990s that featured Kate Moss.

After initially debuting at the Sundance Film Festival back in January, writer-director Dito Montiel's new crime drama, The Son of No One, finally has a theatrical poster and full-length trailer.

The story revolves around a hard working young cop (Tatum) whose stable life is threatened when an anonymous source reveals new information about the unsolved murder of two boys, information that might reveal a police cover-up.

We've been getting a taste of the violence and mayhem that director Christopher Nolan has in store for us in his third and final Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises, thanks to "spy" pics and videos captured by the scores of amateur photographers and paparazzi who have swarmed the Pittsburgh sets of the movie in recent weeks. Don't get us wrong, we like our Batman grim and gritty and we love what we see of The Dark Knight Rises so far, but we also feel it's all getting a little too, well, dark already. Which is why we get a kick out of this video trailer edited by ScreenRant's Mike Eisenberg, which takes footage from Batman Begins and The Dark Knight and remixes it to make Nolan's movies look like a romantic comedy where Bruce Wayne's (Christian Bale) enemies are not criminals, but the men who stand between him and his two Rachels (Katie Holmes and Maggie Gyllenhaal).

Adam Sandler has worked with a variety of co-stars over the years, but his latest co-star might be his greatest challenge, himself.
Jack and Jill is not an adaptation of the nursery rhyme, but instead stars Sandler as twins, playing both Jack, a family man, and his obnoxious sister Jill, who comes out to Los Angeles from the Bronx during Thanksgiving. A new theatrical trailer for the movie has just been released, likely to coincide with the release of The Zookeeper, which Sandler produced.
The movie's cast is filled with Sandler regulars like Allen Covert and Dan Patrick as well as Sandler-movie newcomers like Katie Holmes, who will play Sandler's wife, and Al Pacino, who will play himself.

Chord Overstreet, who plays Sam Evans (aka Trouty-Mouth) on Glee, will not be returning as a series regular to season three of Fox's musical satire, though he may make an occasional guest appearance. This is bad news for some Glee fans, but possibly good news for the fictional Evans family who was homeless for most of last season — maybe this means that Sam's dad finally found a job.
