Shocker: Tom Cruise Exits ‘Man From U.N.C.L.E.;’ Warner Bros Recasting For Fall Start
2 hours ago | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Exclusive: Tom Cruise has exited as the lead in The Man From U.N.C.L.E., the remake of the classic TV series that Guy Ritchie will direct for Warner Bros. Cruise was scheduled to star in the film with Armie Hammer, but he has stepped out of the picture to focus on producing and starring in Mission: Impossible 5. Paramount and Skydance are now planning to begin shooting the latest installment of that franchise before year’s end. Warner Bros has a script they like, and a top director who’s expecting to direct U.N.C.L.E. in the fall. The timing proved too difficult and so Cruise stepped out to focus on M:I5. Warner Bros will now go hard looking for the lead of this movie, which is inspired by the original TV series ran from 1964-68, with Robert Vaughan and David McCallum playing Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin, »

Sad Justin Bieber Featured on Anti-Minimum Wage Increase Billboard
12 minutes ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Why is Justin Bieber so sad? One think tank claims it's because he's worried if the minimum wage increases then his teenage fans won't be able to find jobs. MinimumWage.com is a non-profit that studies public policy and its effects on employment growth. The group's message suggests that a higher minimum wage means businesses can't afford to hire as many employees, and the unemployment rate among younger workers goes up. MimimumWage.com used a puppy-eyed picture of Bieber alongside the caption "Why is Justin Bieber so sad? Could it be because 24% of teens who want a job can't find one?" in an L.A.-area billboard. The ad then states that "teen unemployment makes us all »

Sugarland singer Jennifer Nettles is showing off her post-baby body. Just five months after giving birth to her first child, the country music superstar rocked the Billboard Music Awards in a form-fitting pink George Chakra gown. "I worked my hmm off first of all," Nettles said of losing the pregnancy pounds. "It's taken a team and crowbar, and I'm here." When not spending time with her "perfect" and "delicious" son, Magnus Hamilton Miller, the singer is hitting the gym. "I do circuit training, weights and I keep the cardio bumps thrown in there with intervals," Nettles said. Her fine physique isn't the only thing she's working on »

Call it an early Father's Day gift. Jada Pinkett Smith posted the cutest of photos to her Facebook page on Thursday showing husband Will Smith holding the couple's son Jaden when he was just a wee baby. "Before Will and Jaden starred in Ae, they starred in...Daddy Trying to Figure It Out," she wrote, making reference to their upcoming movie, After Earth. "I have been blessed with one of the best baby daddies in the world." Jada proceeded to pass on some words of wisdom, adding, "To the young ones: Just because he or she is fine, doesn't mean they'll make a good mom or dad. Just because he or she is a good lover, doesn't mean they'll make a good mom or dad. Just »
Fashion Face-Off: Liberty Ross vs. Zoe Saldana in Balmain
27 minutes ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
This is basically the ultimate face-off: Two identical looks in two different color combos worn by two equally gorgeous actresses. We have to give credit to Zoe Saldana for stepping out in these bold Balmain separates first. Her choice of pink on pink is also far more daring than Liberty Ross' black and blue combo. But here's where we're torn: We think the darker colors on Liberty's outfit make her look more sophisticated. In comparison, Zoe's flirty fuschia ensemble looks more like a sexy Bollywood costume and less like a proper premiere look. We're going to need you to settle this color conundrum. What's your say? »

Fast & Furious 6
Distributor: Universal
That increasingly rare Hollywood franchise in which the heroes sport street clothes instead of spandex, Universal’s “Fast and Furious” shifts into sixth gear with few evident signs of engine wear. Mounted on an even larger scale than 2011’s epic (and massively profitable) “Fast Five,” this series swan song for helmer Justin Lin (on board since 2006’s “Tokyo Drift”) ups its own ante on balletic vehicular mayhem and international intrigue, while mending some loose narrative ends and unfurling others. Faithful fans and passersby alike should be more than pleased by this superior piece of classical action craftsmanship, which looks to meet or exceed its predecessor’s nitrous-boosted $626 million global take.

Meet Andrea Riseborough: Rising Star of 'W.E.,' 'Oblivion,' 'Shadow Dancer,' 'Birdman' (Exclusive Video)
41 minutes ago | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
I like meeting actors for the first time, when their careers are starting to take off, before they've erected that protective coating that movie stars often need to survive. I was curious to check out Andrea Riseborough, especially, because she's one of those actresses--much like Meryl Streep-- who vanishes into every role. She's a chameleon, utterly unrecognizable from one movie to the next. She explains why in our flip cam interview below. Like most folks, I first discovered the Brit stage actress in 2011 as Wallis Simpson in Madonna's "W.E.," and was astonished at how she not only embodied this familiar woman but carried the film, which was critically drubbed, but Riseborough emerged unscathed. Casting directors have jumped on the Rada-trained actress, who is now 31 and lives in Boise, Idaho with her artist boyfriend. This spring she's starred in back-to-back movies "Disconnect," "Welcome to the Punch," replaced Jessica Chastain »

Lena Dunham Is Not Thrilled About the Girls Porn Parody
43 minutes ago | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
And here is why (via Twitter): "1. Because Girls is, at its core, a feminist action while Hustler is a company that markets and monetizes a male's idea of female sexuality. 2. Because a big reason I engage in (simulated) onscreen sex is to counteract a skewed idea of that act created by the proliferation of porn 3. Because it grosses me out." Fair enough. »

It doesn't sound like Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will be fist-pumping together any time soon. The 25-year-old reality TV starlet came face-to-face with the Jersey Shore-hating politico this morning, and it doesn't sound like he had the nicest things to say to the cast of the hit MTV show. "Getting told why we are bad for jersey. Amazing." Snooki tweeted today with a pic of her and JWoww chatting with Christie on the Seaside Heights boardwalk. "Nicole simply wanted to know once and for all why Governor Christie dislikes the cast of Jersey Shore," Snooki's rep tells E! News exclusively. "The show brought the beloved summer »
