The Half Century Edition

Welcome everyone to the 50th edition of Entertainment Guru. It has been slow in Hollywood so I haven't alot to talk about. But there are some things churning so I am back to spread the news for the 50th time! Let's get into it.

Chord Overstreet was at first fired from Fox's hit show Glee. But due to fans wanting him back, it appears that the character of Sam will be back next season. It may not be a full promotion, but anything is better then being fired.

Speaking of fired, Charlie Sheen has agreed to be the subject of Comedy Central's next Roast. Never before has sooo many jokes written themselves. I hope Comedy Central plans this roast to be atleast three hours long. I don't condone drinking games (tehehehe) but if I did, there would be a serious drinking game for everytime the words Winning or Duh was said on that broadcast. I reckon you could get pretty damn trashed that day. The irony of it is the show airs the same day as the first episode with Sheen's replacement on Two and A Half Men Ashton Kutcher airs on CBS. How many people think that was planned?

It seems that Shia LaBeouf is out as the lead in the Transformers series. Who could replace him you ask? What if I told you the 2nd biggest action star in the world? The big rumor is Jason Statham will be the new main character. Now I am not sure that he can spin kick Megatron, but that would be amp the action. I am sure Shia has four or five other franchises he can get into. They are making a 5th Fast and The Furious. Shia is all about the franchises really. Come on people, we have to make it happen!

With the remake of Footloose coming out, Hollywood is once again looking to capitalize on my youth (please stop!). There is a rumor right now floating around about both a remake or a sequel to Ferris Beuller's Day off. Mathew Broderick has been quoted to say he would love to play Ferris again. And who wouldn't? As much of a fan as I am of the original, please leave it alone. You can't top yourself. Especially without the recently passed John Hughes.

We have seen some weird pairings in movies over the last fifteen years. I still don't know if you can top Jack Nicholson starring opposite Adam Sandler. But there is a movie coming soon featuring Brad Pitt and..... Jonah Hill. Two more opposites just don't exist. And it's a baseball movie! Based on real people. Do you think when Billy Beane goes home and he turns to his wife he says "I don't have to do the dishes. THey cast Brad Pitt to play me". Hmmm, I wonder if his wife looks like Angelina Jolie.....

Here's to another half century of blogging! Stay Classy, San Diego! Oh... nevermind!

The Truimphant Return Edition

I know it seems like the Entertainment Guru may have died a painful death. If you had me in your Death Pool, I am sorry to disappoint but as you can see I am back and pledging to return to my roots of writing as frequently as I can.

So what's been going on in the world of entertainment since I have been gone? I guess you could say the biggest story is the ongoing train wreck that is Charlie Sheen and the status of Two and A Half Men. He started a stage show that just like his career has gone up and down, with both positive and very negative reviews. He continues to act crazy. In the mean time, CBS flirted with bringing in Hugh Grant to Two and A Half Men. But in the end, they "settled" on Mr. Ashton Kutcher. Now all that's left is how they will debut his character. Is he going to still be Charlie after face surgery or did Charlie die and his soul went into a younger man? Or the third option is he is the mysterious brother Alan didnt know he had. It should be interesting to see what they do with the show moving forward.

It was recently announced that James Cameron will be re-re-releasing his "masterpiece" Titanic, this time in 3D. Because the movie didnt enough money the first two times it was in theaters, he will be sending it back out. After all it is now only the 2nd biggest grossing movie of all time. He is hoping to defeat the number one movie of all time... some crappy director did called Avatar. Oh? Wait. He did that too. And what better time to send the movie back to theaters then the 100th anniversary of the original Titanic sinking. I'm not saying he is capitolizing on a tragedy... but... um.... he kinda is!

Arnold Schwarznagger is getting a divorce due to the fact that he fathered a child that wasn't with Maria Shriver. It's been a hard year for the Terminator. Lost his office, Lost his wife. But something tells me he will be back. That may be the worst pun I have ever done. Plus it rhymes.

Alot of big movies hitting your local cinema this year. Fast Five did great. Thor is hammering it out. (get it? Hammer?) plus Pirates 4 is about to invade the theaters. It should be an interesting summer to say the least!

The Natalie Portman Edition!

Every year, Entertainment Weekly in mid December releases their Entertainer of The Year. I know it's only mid January, but I am going on record to say who 2011 Entertainer of the Year will be. It will be none other then Queen Amidala herself, Natalie Portman.

Why do I say that? Well, for starters she has not one, not two, not three, but FOUR movies coming out in 2011. Plus, I think she has something else going on, but we will get to that a little bit later.

Her first movie of the year comes out this month. It's a comedy called "No Strings Attached" co-starring Mr. Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher. Even better, it's a sex comedy starring Natalie Portman. It does look pretty funny. Ashton Kutcher plays the same character he plays in pretty much every movie, TV show and even camera commerical.

Next up is "Your Highness" co-starring James Franco, Danny McBride and Zoey Deschanel. James Franco as a brave knight? Oh yeah, I can see that. Danny Mcbride as a goofy knight? Goofy? Of course... a knight? Well, If Martin Lawrence can play a knight I dont see why.

Then in Early May a little movie called "Thor". It's the next in the Pre-Avenger Marvel comic movies also starring Anthony Hopkins and Chris Hemsworth. The first trailer didnt make me want to see the movie, but after the trailer I saw last night makes me excited for the movie.

At some point later in the year or early 2012 (if we as a society make it that far) she has a movie in pre-production called Cloud Atlas as well.

There is more that will add to her year. She has been nominated for a Golden Globe and a Screen Actor's Guild award for her performance in "Black Swan". There is serious Oscar buzz for her as well for the first time in her career as well.

As if that wasnt enough for her year, she is also currently pregnant and engaged so I think that alone should make it the year of Portman!
