Bryce Goes Blonde For Spider-Man
Bryce Howard made an appearance on Tuesday's The Tonight Show, showing off her blonde dye-job for the role of Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man 3. I think Bryce looks pretty great as a blonde, and far more natural than I would have thought. Now, hopefully she won't react to her newly platinum locks the same way my mother did to hers: by leaving my father for a basketball player.

Virginia Madsen In Indy 4?
Virginia Madsen, who recently starred with Harrison Ford in Firewall, is the latest casting rumor for Indiana Jones 4. To be honest, I'm sick of all this casting crap. I want to know the plot, and I want that plot to involve a re-animated cyborg Hitler, invincible save for a section of his mustache that is vulnerable only to whips.
Shaggy Dog Coming To Super Bowl
When America demands more Shaggy Dog, Walt Disney delivers. Over at ComingSoon.net they've got not only The Shaggy Dog trailer, but the new Super Bowl spot as well. The TV spot seems a little contrived, giving the movie a play-by-play like the football game, but the trailer answers a lot of questions.
My favorite part is where it zooms in to the cellular level, showing the Shaggy Dog cells merge with the Tim Allen cells. The whole time before this I was thinking, "Seems like a great concept, a man turning into a shaggy dog, but I'm just not sure it's scientifically feasible." Then that shot came on and it totally sold me. Dog bites a guy, transfers Shaggy Dog cells, they latch onto the human cells, creates a man-dog-- it all makes sense. And here I was worried they wouldn't explain what was going on. Plus, he chases a cat! Like how dogs do! You don't need science to tell you that's funny.
Luna Lovegood Is This Girl
Warner Bros. has released some kind of Harry Potter senior picture of new cast member Evanna Lynch, recently chosen to play Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Still no word on when we'll see the shot where she's with a golden retriever, holding her saxophone.
A lot of the time, I worry what will happen to these child stars after their first role, but something tells me "Luna Lovegood" will be all right. And I'll tell her that when I see her stripping in four years.
Lucas Walks Into Alfred Hitchcock Profile
Matt Lucas, star of the British series Little Britain, will reportedly star as Alfred Hitchcock in a film with Ewan McGregor that traces the director's early life. I must say, after seeing his picture, I can't imagine someone casting him as anything other than Alfred Hitchcock. Except maybe as one of those little mutant men living in New York's sewers.
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
The sequel to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe has been green lit and Andrew Adamson has been set to direct. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian was officially announced yesterday and, considering the first has made $637.8 million worldwide so far, it's not surprising that they got the same director to work his magic again. The sequel will begin production this year and is shooting for a Christmas 2007 release. Although there's still no word on if they took my advice and decided to include a naked fairy sex scene. That's how you really get those butts into theaters these days. Naked fairy sex.
