If Hugh Jackman Plays Jean Valjean, Will Paul Bettany Play Javert In 'Les Miserables?'

Mike FlemingUniversal and director Tom Hooper want Hugh Jackman for the role of Jean Valjean in Les Miserables. So who might stalk him in the role of Javert? I’m told that Paul Bettany is a candidate and that he read for the role and sang the songs from the Cameron Mackintosh-produced stage hit. Mackintosh is producing the film with Working Title partners Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner, and Bill Nicholson has written the script. The intention is to begin production before year’

Shirtless Kelsey Grammer gets his mack on with young fiance in Miami

I wonder if I should have put “warning” in the title, but I think the title is warning enough. Here’s just-divorced Kelsey Grammer, 55, kissing his 28 year-old British girlfriend poolside on a “pre wedding getaway” in Miami. I’m sure it’s correct to assume that Kelsey called the paps, since he needs publicity for whatever [...]

Actor Johnny Depp, wearing a brown pin-striped suit and two-tone shoes, attends the premier of his latest movie The Tourist at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York City.
Johnny Depp may have been one of the few men to hold People’s Sexiest Man Alive title twice, but that doesn’t make the fact that Ryan Reynolds stole the title from him this year any easier. The 2009 (and 2002) winner of the prestigious title got a bit emotional when MTV’s Josh Horowitz brought up the touchy subject while chatting about Johnny’s upcoming film “The Tourist.”
“I feel, yeah, emasculated. I feel like I’ve been beaten down like some horrible, you know, pathetic harp seal. But I mean, you know, that’s how it goes, doesn’t it? ” Johnny said all sexy and self-deprecating like.

Johnny and his costar Angelina Jolie are certainly set to win the title of sexiest onscreen couple when the film hits theaters this month, but it’s clear that getting to make-out with Vanity Fair’s Most Beautiful Woman In The World wasn’t enough to ease the crushing devastation of having the young upstart from “Van Wilder” and his delicious six pack replace Johnny in sexiness this year.

“I think I can work my way forward. Will I try for that again? No,” he joked with a laugh. “I worked so hard to gain that title, and they just, they just, oh god.” Is that a tear we spy?

Todd Phillips, Joel Silver Plan To Tap Unknowns For Mystery Laugher 'Project X'

EXCLUSIVE: Project X has got tongues wagging in Hollywood. Warner Bros, Todd Phillips and Joel Silver are mobilizing a raunchy comedy with a $12 million budget, a hard R-rating, under that working title. British video/commercials director Nima Nourizadeh will be making his feature directing debut, and Phillips will be the producer and creative godfather.
There are several unusual facets to this film. First, when was the last time Warner Bros  spent as low as $12 million on a movie? Second, the real title and the concept are being kept secret–all I can get is that it’s an outrageous high concept–and the [...]
