Seth MacFarlane won't host Oscars: 'My suggestion is Joaquin Phoenix'

1 hour ago | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »

There will be less boobs at next year’s Oscars.

Seth MacFarlane, whose irreverent hosting performance at the 2013 Academy Awards was controversial but a ratings hit, announced today that he wouldn’t be taking the stage again next year. “Traumatized critics exhale: I’m unable to do the Oscars again. Tried to make it work schedule-wise, but I need sleep,” he tweeted this afternoon. “However, I highly recommend the job, as Zadan and Meron are two of the most talented producers in the business. My suggestion for host is Joaquin Phoenix.”

Reese Witherspoon, Jena Malone & Martin Short join Paul Thomas Anderson’s Inherent Vice

11 hours ago | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

As a big fan of the original novel, I cannot wait to see what Paul Thomas Anderson brings to the big screen with his adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s Inherent Vice.

Anderson has been developing the project for a while now, with Robert Downey, Jr. originally set for the lead of Larry ‘Doc’ Sportello. And whilst Downey, Jr. ultimately moved on from the project, with Joaquin Phoenix now set to take the lead, the anticipation surrounding it hasn’t dimmed in the slightest.

Casting has been coming along nicely recently, with Owen Wilson and Benicio del Toro coming on board the project.

And now we have a few more names to add to the list, with Reese Witherspoon, Jena Malone, and Martin Short all joining alongside Phoenix, Wilson, and del Toro.

Courtesy of Waterstones, here’s the original synopsis for Pynchon’s Inherent Vice:

Part noir, part psychedelic romp, »

17 May 2013 12:04 AM, PDT | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »

Los Angeles, May 17: Singer Selena Gomez, who loves buying accessories, finds actresses Kate Winslet and Charlize Theron classic.

"My current beauty inspirations, I've kind of been loyal to the ones I've always loved," femalefirst.co.uk quoted the 20-year-old as saying.

What does she love to splurge on?

Reese Witherspoon, Martin Short & More Are Joining 'Inherent Vice'

16 May 2013 8:59 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

The last name to join Paul Thomas Anderson's adaptation of Thomas Pynchon's book Inherent Vice was Owen Wilson, but now a trio of co-stars have just been added to the comedic detective story. Deadline has word that Reese Witherspoon is taking the female lead, a role once rumored for Charlize Theron, while The Wrap has pegged Martin Short to make his first live-action film appearance since The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause, along with the addition of Jena Malone, who will be seen in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire this fall. That's quite an eclectic blend of talent, and none have worked with Anderson yet. For those just joining us, the story follows a stoner detective named Larry "Doc" Sportello (Joaquin Phoenix) trying to solve the case of a kidnapped girl he used to date. Witherspoon is taking the female lead which will reunite the actress with »

Witherspoon, Short and Malone Join Paul Thomas Anderson's 'Inherent Vice'

16 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

Paul Thomas Anderson's Inherent Vice looks to be filling out nicely as Reese Witherspoon, Martin Short and Jena Malone have all joined the cast. For those with good memories, Witherspoon was at one time going to play the role that eventually went to Amy Adams in The Master. Now she's finally going to be able to take part in a PTA film and opposite her Walk the Line co-star no less, Joaquin Phoenix, who plays the lead character in the adaptation of Thomas Pynchon's novel. The story follows 1960s stoner P.I. Larry "Doc" Sportello (Phoenix) who is hired by an ex-girlfriend to investigate the disappearance of her wealthy lover. Owen Wilson and Benicio Del Toro also star. I have to assume Witherspoon is taking the role once thought to belong to Charlize Theron, which isn't confirmed but one can assume would be that of the ex-girlfriend, Shasta Hepworth. »

Trend Alert: Charlize Theron, Kristen Stewart and More Jumpsuit-Clad Stars

14 May 2013 3:30 PM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »

When a A-lister wants to stand out on a red carpet she does one thing: opt for a jumpsuit. At least that's one theory that stars such as Charlize Theron, Rebecca Hall and Zoe Saldana have proved to be true at recent events. It make perfect sense. In a sea of couture gowns, printed frocks or standard LBDs, a refreshing pantsuit always steals the spotlight. The look is also ideal for stars such as Kristen Stewart who like to blur the lines between feminine and masculine styles. Most recently the Twilight star donned the trend by wearing a lace Stella McCartney version at the 2013 Met Gala. Another big bonus? The sleek onesie shows off celebs' fit figures with being completely body hugging »

'Arrested Development' Rewatch Season 3, episode 5 - 'Mr. F'

13 May 2013 1:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

Welcome to "Arrested Development" Rewatch. Leading up to the release of Season 4, Zap2it will be taking a look back at the 53 episodes that made "Ad" one of our most beloved TV comedies. Watch the first three seasons of "Arrested Development" on Netflix. Today we're covering the fifth episode of Season 3, "Mr. F," which premiered Nov. 7, 2005.

The Rita Leeds storyline reaches its climax when it's revealed in "Mr. F" that Michael's latest girlfriend is actually a mentally retarded female. Michael has been oblivious about many things during the course of "Arrested Development," most notably his son's love of his cousin, but the fact he managed to miss this because he was too focused on his own problems brings his character to a new low. This plotline gets all the more hilarious when Michael proposes to Rita in the final moments of this episode.

New 2013 TV Series Breakdown: NBC

13 May 2013 11:01 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »

The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the first announced today. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on NBC.

The Peacock did not have a good year. Only one of its new shows, "Revolution," was a true hit. Another, "Chicago Fire," got renewed by the skin of its teeth whilst the fate of a third, "Hannibal," remains uncertain.

None of last year's new comedies survived, neither did two mid-season dramas, which leaves the network with some big holes to fill. Three dramas and three comedies will debut in the Fall ahead of three more dramas and two comedies mid-season. Two further dramas and a comedy are presently unscheduled.

Several other pilots didn't make the final cut and won't become series including the high-profile Charlize Theron-produced drama about the Hatfields and McCoys, the Bruckheimer-produced »

10 Films That Jumped From One Genre To The Other

13 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

Whether it’s because the original thread has come unstuck too early, or the ending couldn’t quite tie up loose ends, but when a film jumps genre it usually signifies a loss of confidence. It might have been plain sailing for an hour or so but now it’s time to abandon ship. That’s not to say that every comedy should end on a joke, for example. Nor every tragedy a death in the closing credits. Just enough evidence to suggest that the entire film had come from the same, single script.

Some films deliberately latch on to an ending that they -and we- know came out of nowhere, while others accidentally stray into unfamiliar territory and just hope that they come out in one piece. And then there are those films that leap from one genre to another so suddenly, they leave their audience suffering with whiplash. »

Welcome to "Arrested Development" Rewatch. Leading up to the release of Season 4, Zap2it will be taking a look back at the 53 episodes that made "Ad" one of our most beloved TV comedies. Watch the first three seasons of "Arrested Development" on Netflix. Today we're covering the fourth episode of Season 3, "Notapusy," which premiered Nov. 7, 2005.

Most of "Notapusy" takes place at the "Church and State Fair," so named because the state was short on funding. Michael (Jason Bateman) decides to enter a triathlon to show that he is a manly man and not a p**sy, as his British girlfriend, Rita (Charlize Theron), implies. Since George Michael has an actual fear of sports, Michael teams up with Steve Holt. This makes Gob mad. George Michael also feels rejected and goes to join the army so he can be manly enough for his dad. Maeby (disguised as her handicapped twin, Surely »

Seth MacFarlane reunites with Universal to make 'A Million Ways to Die in the West'

11 May 2013 6:26 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

After the runaway success of "Ted" last summer, Universal has decided it wants to stay in the Seth MacFarlane business.

The studio has come aboard to co-finance and distribute the "Family Guy" creator's upcoming western, "A Million Ways to Die in the West." The film has been set for a May 30, 2014 release date, Universal announced on Friday (May 10).

MacFarlane is set to co-write, direct, produce and star in the film, playing a sheep farmer named Albert. Charlize Theron, Liam Neeson, Amanda Seyfried, Sarah Silverman and Giovanni Ribisi are all attached to co-star.

Not only is the film a reunion between MacFarlane and Universal, but it's also reconnecting much of the "Ted" team as that film's producers Scott Stuber and Jason Clark and co-writers Wellesley Wild and Alec Sulkin are all performing the same duties on the new film. Media Rights Capital, which is co-financing, also co-financed "Ted."
