Not only is Olivia Newton-John appearing on Glee, but she is also singing ‘Let’s Get Physical’ alongside Jane Lynch. Lynch has never sang on the show before, and I am looking forward to it. I love this show.
Ryan Cabrera is Joining The Hills
Ryan Cabrera, Audrina Patridge’s new boyfriend, will appear on the next season of The Hills. If you don’t remember Ryan Cabrera, he was a singer with a few minor hits, such as ‘On the Way Down.’ He briefly dated Ashlee Simpson, while he was being managed by her father, Joe Simpson. This might be a great opportunity for him to resurrect his career. Listen to his song below.

Hurt Locker Producer Caught Campaigning for Oscar Votes
It’s no secret that this kind of thing happens, but it’s important to apologize when you’re caught. An email was recently leaked, which revealed a producer for The Hurt Locker asking everyone to vote for his film. He also criticized Avatar in the email. The problem? It violates Academy rules, and it is not in the friendly spirit of celebrating cinema. It simply is not good sportsmanship. Instead, you must pretend that you don’t care at all whether you win or lose.
Prince is Being Sued
Prince is being sued by promoters for canceling a performance at Croke Park in 2008. Part of Prince’s defense is that his agents did not have the authority to bind him to the gig, and that he did not personally agree to it. The agents have debunked that claim in recent testimony, by stating that they had express authority from Prince to book gigs and at no point did Prince tell them to cancel the gig on his behalf. I tend to side with the promoters. Prince is notoriously difficult. In fact, listen to the clip of Howard Stern railing on Prince while discussing a personal experience with him. It’s pretty funny.
The Best News of the Day: Zoolander 2 in the works!
Ben Stiller is in talks to reprise his role as Derek Zoolander. He is reportedly writing the script with Tropic Thunder writer, Justin Theroux. Jonah Hill will play the villain, a role played by Will Ferrell in the first film. No word on whether Owen Wilson will return as Hanzel, but I am keeping my fingers crossed. I love this movie!
Hollywood Biopic Alert: Tobey Maguire as Bobby Fischer?
As I explained in my earlier post, Hollywood biopics are on the rise. Now, it appears that Tobey Maguire will play Bobby Fischer, in a movie tentatively titled ‘Pawn Sacrifice,’ about Fischer’s 1972 victory over Boris Spassky. For some reason, this is the only biopic that interests me.

Hollywood Biopic Alert: Matt Damon as RFK
Matt Damon is set to play Robert F. Kennedy in a new biopic. Hollywood biopics seem to be on the rise lately. I first reported about DiCaprio playing Sinatra, and then Marlon Wayans as Richard Pryor. So why the influx of biopics? They don’t cost a lot to make and they are easy to promote, as everyone will pretty much already know what the film is about. This will be the second attempt at an RFK movie in recent years. Remember 2006’s ‘Bobby‘?
