    Lovers of Magic Mike, meet lovers of Old Hollywood, and together, rejoice! 20th Century Fox has gotten their paws on the rights to Guys and Dolls, and it looks like we can look forward to Channing Tatum and Joseph Gordon-Levitt kicking up their handsome heels in the roles made famous by Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra -- Sky Masterson and Nathan Detroit.

    Now that you're done fantasizing and drooling -- this does beg the question: DO WE REALLY NEED A REMAKE OF GUYS AND DOLLS?

    Say what you will about Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart and how ridiculous the hype behind the Twilight franchise is -- they're laughing at you all the way to the bank. And holy shit, when I say bank, I mean bank.

    These two are the highest-grossing romantic movie celebrity couple, probably ever, in life, because dear god, according to Forbes, they earned $1.17 billion together based off this one franchise alone. In just three years. Because of Twilight. Truly mind-blowing stuff.

    Forbes compiled the list by looking at the biggest, most successful romance movies over the past three years. Then they added up each couple's U.S. box office total. Not surprising that this particular vampire-y duo came out on top, but still, I'll say it again: $1.17 billion. Billion! Inconceivable.

    Not sure if you've heard about this one quite yet, but there's a Fifty Shades of Grey movie coming out. Wait, what's that you say, we rarely if ever at all talk about it or its casting? I know, right, it's something that we really ought to discuss a little bit more. So I'm doing you a solid and bringing up, for the first time ever, EVER, a poll about the top contenders fans want to see play Christian Grey.

    And you probably could never predict who the fans picked.

    On Monday, MStarz revealed the never-before-heard, totally unforeseeable news that too-hot-for-words Matt Bomer and Ian Somerhalder have yet again come out on top for casting polls.

    SHOCKING NEWS, indeed.

    But Ian had to go and put a brand new twist on this formulaic banality. Looks like he really, really, really is into all the hype surrounding him and this casting. And why shouldn't he be?

    I am not yet 40 -- but OMG -- the new Judd Apatow movie, This Is 40, totally had me crying I was laughing so hard.

    The movie also managed to hit a nerve -- because if you're married with kids, you know what it's like to be, well, married with kids. Delicately trying to balance your relationship while trying to spend quality time with the kids and help them become decent human beings -- all while trying to make enough money to pay your bills, maintain relationships with other people in your life, and stay sane.

    Hey all you Twihard fans! A new clip has come out from Breaking Dawn: Part 2, just to get you that much more excited for the November 16 premiere. Between the surprise ending and the new featurette and the awesome photos and even the release of the first seven minutes of the film, seems that Twilight fans can't get enough of these sweet teasers for this final installment to come.

    Fans got yet another treat when the powers-that-be released footage of an iconic scene in the last book: New vampire Bella arm wrestling Emmett, the strongest vampire she's ever seen, on a huge ass boulder. Edward, played by an always smoldering Robert Pattinson, had told her that when she was a newborn, she'd be stronger than the rest of them. Emmett was more than happy to step up to the challenge -- and you'll just have to see what happens.

    Many Twilight fans were a little bit disappointed with the love scene in Breaking Dawn: Part 1. Granted, this series could never cross the line into graphic rated R territory (too bad!), but a broken headboard here, some making out there -- it was kind of as PG as you can get. Even Kristen Stewart admitted that scene was kind of a "bummer." And if it's boring enough to bum out humdrum Kristen Stewart, well ...

    That means lots of folks are hoping they're going to step it up in Breaking Dawn: Part 2, especially when dealing with a rather infamous sex scene. If you're not interested in hearing about what that scene is, or what Robert Pattinson had to say about it (it's pretty funny), don't click through because there are some BD2 spoilers ahead!

    Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy! I have some great news for you today. You know how there really hasn't been a movie quite like Bridesmaids ever since, well, Bridesmaids? Like, a hilarious movie full of hilarious female cast members with a hilariously original script plus a hilariously hot Jon Hamm? Well, hold on to your poop-filled couture wedding dresses, as news has come out that the next brilliant female comedy will feature none other than Bridesmaids cast member Melissa McCarthy ... and also Sandra Bullock!

    Their new buddy cup movie will also be directed by Paul Feig, who, yup, directed Bridesmaids as well. AND. AND. Parks and Recreation writer Katie Dippold is penning the script. This movie really can't lose ... can it? At least I'm hoping for a completely refreshing take on the buddy cop movie -- it is featuring two women, after all -- and not Miss Congeniality 3.

    It's easy to judge Grace, the single mom played by Eva Mendes in the new movie Girl in Progress. She uproots herself and her teenage daughter Ansiedad again and again every time life gets difficult. Ansiedad cries out for attention, but Grace is too distracted by her messy love life and the low-paying jobs she juggles to pay the bills.

    Girl in Progress is a coming-of-age movie on the surface. But it's not just Ansiedad who needs to grow up. If you've ever felt inadequate or guilty or flaky. If you've ever felt like you've failed your child. If you've ever fumbled the impossible task of mothering in this economy, in this climate, this movie is for you. Leave the santimommy behind.

    So imagine you’re going for a breast cancer screening exam. A nerve-wracking time for any woman. You’ve got a stranger manhandling your boobies. You could find out some bad news. Probably the last thing you want is a porn star ogling the proceedings. But Charlie Sheen’s ex-porn star girlfriend, Bree Olson, is using her big (fake) boobs to draw attention to a free breast cancer screening bus, “Save Our Boobs,” sponsored by a porn site, PornHub.

    I say good for her!

    I have to confess something Twilight fans might not like: I've never been able to get into the series, and it's mostly because of Bella. I just found her kind of mopey. All that mooning over her vampire boyfriend, and then her werewolf sort-of boyfriend. And what's with Edward trying to control her -- even though he can't? She came across as a pretty wimpy female to me, but her creator, Stephenie Meyer, says she's all about girl power. It's the humans against the supernatural creatures! I guess I can see that.

    But then The Hunger Games came along and just blew Bella's girl power out of the water. Here's a real feminist heroine: Katniss, a warrior fighting for her survival! No time for moping over boys, she has a family to support. But the more I think about it, Katniss actually has more in common with the supernatural women of Twilight. Maybe the Twilight chicks should get some credit for being pro-girl power after all.
