22 May 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

The big finale of "American Idol"'s 11th season is finally upon us this week, and we noticed that this year's two finalists look as cut out for the camera as they do for the stage (hello Phillip Phillips!).

It certainly doesn't hurt that so many "Idol" alums before them have successfully launched from the show's giant platform into the world of film.

In fact, there have been a lot of reality stars in general who've made a name in the movie scene. Here are our top 15.

15. Carrie Underwood, 'American Idol'

Credits: "Soul Surfer"

For "Idol" Season 4 winner Carrie Underwood, five Grammys, dozens of other accolades, four successful albums, and pretty hair just wasn't enough. She first gave her thespian itch a scratch on the small screen in 2010 with guest stints on "Sesame Street" and "How I Met Your Mother" before going full-blown Hollywood for 2011's "Soul Surfer, »

Dax Shepard And Kristen Bell Fined For Dancing With Serengeti Animals

22 May 2012 1:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Funnyman Dax Shepard and his actress fiancee Kristen Bell were fined during a recent safari holiday in Africa for dancing with wildebeest on the plains of the Serengeti.

The fun-loving couple decided to make the most of their trip by shooting a video of themselves dancing, which they planned to put to music upon their return, but African wildlife police weren't impressed with their moves.

Shepard explains, "We wanted to see the wildebeest migrate so we had driven five hours in the car, we finally got to them on the Serengeti, we got out of the car (and) we started doing a dance for this music video.

"We weren't paying attention and then the Serengeti police showed up and they fined us $50 for dancing at the Serengeti."

However, they got to keep the footage and now plan to use Africa by Toto as the soundtrack to their safari video.

Bell and Shepard treated pal Jimmy Kimmel to a clip when they appeared on his late night show last week - the footage showed the adventurous couple running after a group of giraffes. »

Matthew Carnahan lauds Don Cheadle as 'get out of jail free' card on 'House of Lies' [Video]

18 May 2012 12:06 AM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »

Showtime's darkly subversive freshman comedy "House of Lies" stars leading man Don Cheadle as Marty Kaan, a morally questionable alpha-male in the high stakes world of management consulting. Cheadle leads a group of similarly minded cutthroat professionals played by Kristen Bell, Josh Lawson and Ben Schwartz, who lie, cheat and steal their way through corporate boardrooms across America. Yet, as corrupt and cunning as these characters can be, creator and showrunner Matthew Carnahan believes that having Cheadle as the show's leading man is his "get out of jail free" card. As he explains, "you can allow this character to be even more depraved and morally bankrupt than even as I wrote him, and the Don Cheadle factor really helps to carry" the show. "People just like him; you just want him to win." Because the show airs on premium cable, Carnahan and his team of writers have plenty of freedom »

Morning Meme:Josh Henderson Skips Wardrobe On "Dallas," Gloria Estefan Gushes About "Glee," and Nobody Better Mess With NeNe's Gays

As more and more celebrities and politicians comment on President Obama's support for marriage equality, it just becomes a blur. But on The Graham Norton Show, Chris Rock really stood out talking about the noise itself. "It just shows you how screwed up the world is though, that a man just goes "Hey, I think gay people should be treated like everyone else." Controversy! What kind of world is this, it's so horrible."

Why is it so hard to come up with an HIV vaccine? This is a tough, adaptive little bug we're dealing with.

The group Here We Go Magic were driving between gigs and saw a hitchhiker on the side of the road, and realized that it was John Waters. So they looped back and picked him up, finding that he's on his way across country. They're dropping him in Indianapolis if anybody wants the next leg. »

Hit And Run Trailer… Hits

16 May 2012 11:22 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »

If you aren’t familiar with Dax Shepard beyond Parenthood, and especially if you haven’t caught some of his more recent indie work, like The Freebie, you may be surprised by just how talented he is. Now, I don’t know if Hit and Run, the upcoming title that he wrote, co-directed, and stars in, is a surefire winner, but it looks like a lot of fun.

Coming to a theater near you on August 24th, Hit and Run is an action-comedy starring Shepard as a man whose past catches up to him when he least expects it… sort of. Unbeknownst to his fiancé (Kristen Bell), Charlie (Shepard) is in the witness protection program, and everything is about the life she thinks she’s in is about to start falling apart.

It’s from the producers of Wedding Crashers, though I’m not sure what information I want that to deliver, »

16 May 2012 9:39 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

A host of trailers have arrived in the last 24 hours, and it being the start of Cannes and one of the busier days of the year, we've done a little round-up of them for you below. First up, Bradley Cooper is sporting some sweet dreadlocks in the new trailer of the Dax Shepard-written action comedy, “Hit And Run,” which is co-directed by Shepard and David Palmer. The actor, currently part of the ensemble in NBC’s “Parenthood,” is no stranger to being behind the camera: he was previously behind 2010’s “Brother’s Justice,” again with Palmer as a co-director.

Shepard will lead an eclectic cast that includes Cooper, Kristen Bell, Tom Arnold, Michael Rosenbaum (“Smallville”), and David Koechner (“Anchorman”). “Hit And Run” will follow Charlie Bronson (Shepard), a getaway driver who jeopardizes his Witness Protection Plan identity in order to get his girlfriend (Bell) to Los Angeles, and is »

Funny Trailer and Images for Dax Shepard’s Hit and Run

16 May 2012 9:36 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

I gotta admit, I chuckled a couple of times during the trailer for “Hit and Run”, a new action-comedy from Dax Shepard, Kristen Bell, and Bradley Cooper sporting ill-fitting dreadlocks. Then again, anal prison rape jokes always makes me chuckle. Check it out for yourself. By the way, this has nothing to do with anything, but I still remember Shepard from the Ashton Kutcher prank show “Punk’d”. Dude has really come a long way. Just thought I’d put that out there. From the producer of Wedding Crashers – written and directed by and starring comic talent Dax Shepard (NBC’s “Parenthood”) Hit And Run is the story of Charlie Bronson (Shepard), a nice guy with a questionable past who risks everything when he busts out of the witness protection program to deliver his fiancé (Kristen Bell) to Los Angeles to seize a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Their road trip grows awkwardly complicated, »

New Trailer For All-Star Action-Comedy Hit & Run!

16 May 2012 7:44 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

Real-life comedic couple Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell look to bring their collective talents to road trip comedy Hit And Run. Both are known for outrageous roles in the likes of Employee Of The Month and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and even when disappointing efforts, the duo are always likeable.

Shepard wrote and co-directs, alongside David Palmer, the tale of suitably named Charlie Bronson; a former career criminal who just so happens to be in witness protection. That is until he and his unknowing girlfriend are paid a visit by the man he gave evidence against and happens to owe money to. Bradley Cooper plays the dreadlocked villain in this (hopefully) fun action rom-com, expected later this year.

Hit And Run co-stars David Koechner, Michael Rosenbaum, Beau Bridges, Kristen Chenoweth, Ryan Hansen and Tom Arnold. Check out the films trailer, introduced by the acting married couple, below

Trailer for Hit and Run Starring Dax Shepard, Kristen Bell, and Bradley Cooper

16 May 2012 7:05 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »

Dax Shepard has come a long way since his days helping Ashton Kutcher pull pranks on celebrities as a regular on Punk'd. Shepard has appeared in more than a dozen movies since Punk'd and he not only leads the cast in the upcoming action-comedy Hit and Run (formerly Outrun), but he also wrote and co-directed (with David Palmer) the movie.

Shepard plays Charlie Bronson, a former getaway driver who flees from the Witness Protection Program to drive his girlfriend — played by Shepard's real-life fiancé, Kristen Bell — to Los Angeles for her dream job. Bronson will have to put his driving skills to the test because he's pursued by not only the feds, but his old bank robber buddies, and one of them (Bradley Cooper) has just cause to be more than a little "sore" with Bronson, as revealed in the new trailer for the movie.

Open Road Films has released a trailer for their new comedy called Hit and Run. It was written by Dax Shepard who also co-directed the film with David Palmer. Shepard also stars in the movie alongside Bradley CooperKristen BellDavid KoechnerMichael Rosenbaum and Tom Arnold

I don't really care for most of the films Shepard has starred in over the years, but this one looks like it could be entertaining. It doesn't hurt that he's surrounded himself with a great cast of actors, and it looks like this could be the best role Tom Arnold has had since True Lies

Here's the Synopsis:

Charlie Bronson, a former getaway driver busts out of the Witness Protection Program to drive his girlfriend to Los Angeles so she can land her dream job. Their road trip grows awkwardly complicated, when they are chased by the feds, and increasingly dangerous, when Charlie »
