The cast continues to come together for the highly anticipated sequel to “Night at the Museum.” We knew the film, subtitled “Escape from the Smithsonian” once again starred Ben Stiller, this time alongside newcomers Hank Azaria and Amy Adams, but now we know some other familiar faces are returning, plus who the villain is.

First Look: Ben Stiller's new action comedy, "Tropical Thunder"
Who's that man between Jack Black and Ben Stiller in this scene from the upcoming comedy?
Looks Black, right? But wrong - it's actually Robert Downey Jr.!
If you don't recognize that African-American actor standing between Jack Black and Ben Stiller, there's a good reason: He's white. In Tropic Thunder, an epic action comedy co-written and directed by Stiller, Robert Downey Jr. plays Kirk Lazarus, a very serious Oscar-winning actor cast in the most expensive Vietnam war epic ever filmed.

'Iron Man' Premieres For A-List Comic Book Geeks, As Robert Downey Jr., Jon Favreau Hint At Avengers Follow-Up
Tony Stark is a man who parties hard, surrounds himself with gorgeous people and knows how to keep a secret. It's no surprise, then, that Wednesday's high-wattage "Iron Man" premiere was a bash fit for the billionaire.
"The audiences are loving it, and it's gonna make big dough," Robert Downey Jr. grinned on the red carpet in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater, watching such A-listers as Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, Pete Wentz and Diddy file inside. "Then, hopefully, we'll get to do it again."

Covering CelebStoners: Jack Black & Seth Rogen
Celluloid stoner favorites and Top CelebStoners Jack Black and Seth Rogen get the cover treatment in this month's issues of Blender and GQ, respectively. While Black's grilled about drugs, Rogen's profiled at length, with a special focus on Pineapple Express, which opens on August 8.
Here are the highlights:
Jack Black in Blender
• On his current weed intake: "Very little. There is an occasional celebratory jay, but it's not a wake-and-bake scenario anymore at all."
Jack Black • On LSD: "I h
Video: Seth Rogen & James Franco Smoke Weed
According to sources who actually watched this festival of mediocrity and shameless whoring, Seth Rogen and James Franco came out and smoked a joint on live TV, and in response, MTV’s cameras pulled back to a super-duper wide angle shot until they left the stage.
But that didn’t stop them (or me) from posting the non-wide angle video online. (If you're a child or just have the mind of one, you can watch a bootleg of the original telecast after the jump. My favorite part is the guy trying to zoom in
Tom Cruise: A Star Is Reborn?
Much of Cruise's press over the past year has centered on the turmoil at his fledgling studio United Artists (inaugural effort Lions for Lambs bombed last fall), the troubles surrounding his World War II movie Valkyrie, and some quirky Scientology recruitment videos that became the butt of everyone's jokes after they surfaced online earlier this year. Not exactly the stuff that a $20 million star needs, but with 10 months to go until the twice-delayed Valkyrie debuts, Cruise is clearly trying to remind audi
Video: New Kung Fu Panda Clip
We have a brand new exclusive clip from the new film, Kung Fu Panda, which brings all the animated martial arts action to theaters on June 6.
Enthusiastic, big and a little clumsy, Po is the biggest fan of Kung Fu around...which doesn't exactly come in handy while working every day in his family's noodle shop. Unexpectedly chosen to fulfill an ancient prophecy, Po's dreams become reality when he joins the world of Kung Fu and studies alongside his idols, the legendary Furious Five -- Tigress, Crane, Ma
Because he's worth it! Greying Ben Stiller reveals his freshly coloured locks
There was something funny about Ben Stiller last night - and it wasn't his jokes.
The Hollywood star attracted a few curious looks as he unveiled his freshly dyed locks at the LA premiere of The Ruins (starring Jonathan Tucker, Jena Malone, Shawn Ashmore and Laura Ramsey), a new thriller he executive produced.
The 42-year-old, who was showing definite signs of becoming a silver fox back in 2006, clearly has no intention of greying gracefully, opting instead for a bottled chestnut look.
Lindsay Lohan, Steve Carell, Jack Black To Present At MTV Movie Awards
You've read about them in magazines, seen them on TV and trekked to the movie theater to catch their latest work. We're talking about stars like Lindsay Lohan, Anne Hathaway, Jack Black, Steve Carell, Robert Downey Jr., Seth Rogen, Megan Fox and Jennifer Hudson — and you'll see them all at the 2008 MTV Movie Awards.
These big Hollywood names, along with others including Mark Wahlberg, James Franco, Rumer Willis, Brendan Fraser and Danny McBride, are the first wave of presenters to be announced for the
New Pineapple Express Photos
Lazy stoner Dale Denton (Seth Rogen) has only one reason to visit his equally lazy dealer Saul Silver (James Franco): to purchase weed, specifically, a rare new strain called Pineapple Express. But when Dale becomes the only witness to a murder by a crooked cop (Rosie Perez) and the city’s most dangerous drug lord (Gary Cole), he panics and dumps his roach of Pineapple Express at the scene. Dale now has another reason to visit Saul: to find out if the weed is so rare that it can be traced back to him.
New Tropic Thunder Images
Coming Soon has three new pics from Tropic Thunder, which you can see by following the link. The best of the three is the shot of Robert Downey Jr.with Jack Black, before undergoing surgery to change his racial appearance. Those vivid blue eyes are rather freaky, but we imagine the Aryan look is to provide greater contrast with his transformation.
Tropic Thunder follows a band of prima-donna actors who have been brought together to make a mega-budget war film. When they drive their director to the brink
Studio: ‘No Way’ Tom Cruise Starring In ‘Top Gun’ Sequel
Sorry “Top Gun” fans, it appears Tom Cruise returning to the franchise has not been cleared for take off.
Earlier this week, reports surfaced suggesting Cruise was in line to reprise his role as Maverick in the fighter jet film, 22 years after the original.
However, Access Hollywood has confirmed those reports are false.
When contacted by Access, a spokesperson for Paramount (which released “Top Gun” in 1986) said there was “no way” Cruise would be returning to the role.

Will Smith’s New School: “Textbook” Scientology
It looks like Tom Cruise has truly captured Will Smith into Xenu land. Will is bankrolling a new “progressive” school in California, the “New Village Academy”.
The school’s director is Smith’s former personal assistant, and is “Director of Philanthropy and Vice President of Smith Holding Group”. She’s also a keen Scientologist. Will is not directly mentioned on the New Village website, but the National Enquirer has tied him to the school, and the press is reporting his connection and f
Tom Hanks vs. Nicholson, Mortensen, Brolin, Nolte and More...
Just yesterday I posted an article about the SAG/AFTRA strike potential for the very first time and one thing I mentioned was how Tom Hanks added his name to a petition calling on actors to endorse a deal reached by AFTRA. "The Hollywood Reporter" made a big deal about it, but I guess Hanks's pull in Hollywood may not be what it used to be, or what THR thinks it may be as USA Today is now reporting that Jack Nicholson, Viggo Mortensen, Nick Nolte, Josh Brolin, and Rosanna and Patricia Arquette and other act
Christian Bale's 'Terminator' to open May 2009; will compete with Ben Stiller's "Night at the Museum II"
Warner Bros. will open McG's Christian Bale starrer "Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins" on May 22, 2009, the start of Memorial Day weekend.
That puts two tentpoles on the same date, even though the release calendar for summer 2009 is still relatively open.
Twentieth Century Fox had already staked out May 22 for the bow of the Ben Stiller sequel "Night at the Museum II: Escape From the Smithsonian." The first film grossed $250.9 million domestically.

Regarding Those 'Iron Man 2' Rumors...
I learned this morning that Marvel Studios boss David Maisel very recently put out an offer to Jon Favreau to direct the sequel and that the offer is "definitely" richer than what the helmer received for the original.
Even so, the negotiation has only just begun. So all that Internet blather about how Marvel doesn't want to bring back Favreau because the studio is lowballing him is just b.s.
As an insider told me, "They're not paying him the same wage. They're definitely paying him a higher fee to d
