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.

Celine Dion is taking most of it off for V. The usually modestly dressed singer posed for pics wearing skin-tight shiny black pants and no top for the magazine's upcoming travel issue. If a topless Celine is not enough to entice you to buy the magazine, perhaps Nicole Kidman's cheeks on the fold-out front cover will seal the deal.

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.

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.

Tom Hardy will be the "bane" of Batman's existence in The Dark Knight Rises later this year, but before that the English actor will play game-wrecker to the new Capt. Kirk (Chris Pine, Star Trek) in director McG's (Charlie's Angels, Terminator Salvation) upcoming romantic action-comedy, This Means War.
When two lifelong best friends (Hardy & Pine) who happen to be CIA operatives fall for the same woman (Reese Witherspoon), they decide to let her choose which one of them she will date. Of course, that doesn't mean that they plan on playing fair (they are spies, after all). As shown in the new preview clip that was just released, the two friends use all of the intelligence-gathering tools and high-tech toys at their disposal to win her heart and make the other guy look as bad as possible.

Tim Burton's latest project, Big Eyes, has big news. Despite being an independent film, Burton and co-writer/directors Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski just snagged A-listers Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Reynolds to star as the 1960's famous artistic couple, Margaret and Walter Keane.
Big Eyes is based on the true story of kitsch art icon, Margaret Keane (Witherspoon), who is best known for her paintings of grief-stricken, wide-eyed children. However, after their divorce, the Keanes became embroiled in a bitter dispute over the origins and authenticity of their paintings — her ex-husband Walter (Reynolds) claimed for years that the paintings were his but was challenged by Margaret in court, resulting in a well-documented "paint off."

Reese Witherspoon's previous romantic comedy, last year's How Do You Know, had two men fighting for her affection, but, clearly, the fighting wasn't physical enough. In her latest romcom, This Means War, Chris Pine (Star Trek) and Tom Hardy (Inception) are literally throwing themselves through windows and jumping out of airplanes for her affections.
Pine and Hardy play two CIA agents and best friends who both fall for the same woman (Witherspoon). Instead of turning to reason and rational compromise, the two agents decide to let Witherspoon choose between the two. Of course, all that means is that the two agents use their highly-trained skills and high-tech gadgetry against each other whenever the other is trying to romance Witherspoon, who isn't get much help on her end from her best friend (Chelsea Handler) and her questionable advice.
