‘Fantastic Four 3’ Probably Not Happening, Reveals Chris Evans
Chris Evans tells MTVNews.com:
“I’m pretty sure we won’t do [another] one,” insisted “Fantastic Four” star Chris Evans, who excelled in two films as the Human Torch. “I’m assuming that one is a closed book.”
This despite the fact that in recent months, both Jessica Alba and Michael Chiklis have expressed a strong desire to come back for “FF3,” each one even going so far as to offer up a preferred storyline.
But Evans — who will next be seen with Keanu Reeves in the cop dra
Bill And Ted Remake?
There has been some spinning on the internets about a Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure remake that Keanu Reeves mentioned to MTV:
“I hear they’re doing a remake,” Reeves said of the movie that launched him to fame. “[Alex Winter and I spoke] on the phone the other day [about it]. We’re great friends.
“The most serious we ever got was a few years ago,” he confessed of a hitherto unknown third film. “I had once mentioned about doing it when we were 40. Now maybe the only shot we have
Common Says 'American Gangster' Deserves More 'Oscar Love'
Common is still basking in the glow from working on the new-to-DVD "American Gangster" last year. He was surprised that the film got just two Oscar nominations (for art direction, and best supporting actress for Ruby Dee), and was overlooked for Best Picture.
"I was [stunned]," Common said of the flick's one major nomination, for Ruby Dee's supporting performance. "I felt the momentum and quality of the film was there enough for it to be an Oscar-nominated picture. It's a classic. I T.I.k it deserved som
Lewis: 'Hugh is not the first to crack the US'
Damian Lewis is surprised at the amount of attention Hugh Laurie receives for his success in the US.
Lewis's own work across the pond includes starring roles in 2001 war series Band of Brothers and current NBC show Life.
He pointed out that Laurie, who found fame in the US in medical drama House, is not the only British star to have cracked America.
Contactmusic quotes him as saying: "English actors have been successful on US TV for years. Hugh is not the first to be successful in LA and he will ce
Hugh Laurie: Britain Has Branded Me a "Sellout"
You might think Hugh Laurie would be a source of pride for Britain.
You'd be wrong.
According to BBC NEWS, the House star told the Radio Times that he can't find work in his home country: "The door slammed behind me, and that's it. There's a notion that I've sold out...There's a peculiar British attitude that I took an oath I wouldn't be successful, and reneged on it."
"House" star Laurie shakes up image with new role
Hugh Laurie is bleary-eyed and tired. It is late afternoon, and he's been awake since 5 a.m. shooting an episode of television drama "House M.D.," which has made him a huge star in the United States.
His lead role as the cranky, brash Dr. Gregory House on the top-rated Fox hospital show is far from the comic parts that first made the versatile British actor popular back home, and Laurie is again shaking up his image as a Los Angeles cop in "Street Kings," a movie opening in major cities on Friday.

Paul McCartney for PETA
One issue Paul McCartney and his estranged ex Heather Mills aren’t feuding over: animal rights.
McCartney, 65, is lending his face to PETA's new "I Am a Vegetarian" ad campaign – and Usmagazine.com has an exclusive first peek!
"If anyone wants to save the planet, all they have to do is just stop eating meat," McCartney tells Us. "That's the single most important thing you could do.
“It's staggering when you think about it,” he adds. “Vegetarianism takes care of so many things in one shot:

Despite getting poor reviews, it took $24m on its opening weekend, relegating Hayden Christensen's sci-fi film Jumper into second place with $12.7m.
Hugh Laurie Experimented with Vicodin For His House Role
Not that he’s been labeled a realistic Method actor before, but Hugh Laurie admits he attempted to get closer to the character he portrays on House — by experimenting with Vicodin, the strong painkiller to which Dr. Gregory House is addicted.
“I wouldn’t recommend it — we have to be careful,” Laurie, 48, tells Britain’s Radio Times magazine, “But then again … if you’re not in pain it gives a floaty, pleasurable feeling.”
Laurie, renown as a perfectionist, says he’s unhappy with
