Sex Bob-Omb’s Michael Cera is With the Band

Did you enjoy Michael Cera’s bass face in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World ? Then get excited! Indie supergroup Mister Heavenly — featuring members from Man Man, Islands, and Modest Mouse — have announced that Cera will join them as bassist during the band’s West Coast tour with Passion Pit.

VIDEO: Conan O’Brien Previews Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark

While Conan O’B rien’s Tuesday evening monologue might have left something to be desired , his parody for Julie Taymor’s Spider-Man musical was just about spot on. Well, other than that it didn’t include any five-minute delays, catcalls from the audience or narrative confusion . Otherwise, winner! Click ahead to watch, and let’s hope that Turn Off the Dark can at least make as much sense as this when it opens next year.

Like a documentary.

Why Irvin Kershner Mattered

Irvin Kershner has died at the age of 87. He leaves behind some recognizable films ( The Flim Flam Man with George C. Scott; Eyes of Laura Mars with Faye Dunaway) and several sequels of various prominence ( The Return of a Man Called Horse , Robocop II and the renegade James Bond film Never Say Never Again ), never afraid to explore and extend the story of someone else’s work. So, really, it’s not a huge surprise in hindsight that he accepted the challenge of The Empire Strikes Back , the 1980 effort continuing the story that George Lucas started three years earlier with Star Wars . But could anybody have expected Kershner to knock this particular sequel out of the f*cking park?

Report: James Franco, Anne Hathaway May Host Oscars

Breaking: Nikki Finke writes that she’s “just learned that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has asked James Franco and Anne Hathaway to host the Academy Awards, and it ‘looks like’ both young stars have accepted the offer. There is always the chance that one of them might back out because of prior commitments. But my sources say the host announcement could be made as soon as this week.” Oh, so this is what they meant by wanting to work on the Alien prequel . Great euphemism! [ Deadline ]

Julie Taymor’s Spider-Man Musical Gets Tangled in Web of Bad Reviews

And you thought only movies could have disastrous screenings! Julie Taymor’s Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark previewed on Broadway last night and the $65 million production went off with so many hitches that the production lasted for almost three-and-a-half hours, contained five stoppages and one almost-revolt. If only Broadway had review embargoes, amirite?

Kristen Stewart, Emma Watson And Three Other Actors Who Could Replace Emma Stone In 21 Jump Street

Emma Stone recently announced that due to her involvement as a web-slinger’s love interest in the forthcoming Spiderman she would be unable to join the cast of Jonah Hill’s 21 Jump Street remake. Now, it’s hard to be sure if the red-headed upstart is really jumping ship to play Peter Parker’s non-red-headed gal or if she just happened to catch The A-Team OnDemand, but here are five other actors that would make the perfect Officer Judy Hoffs. It’s time to go back to school kids.

Is This Jake Gyllenhaal’s Penis? A Movieline Investigation

It’s currently cratering at the box office, but Love and Other Drugs was supposed to be a return to the full-throated, unabashedly erotic films of yesterday, akin to movies like Last Tango in Paris and 9 1/2 Weeks that proudly wore its sexual sizzle on its sleeve. And while we get a faceful of Anne Hathaway’s front and back, Jake Gyllenhaal only provides an ass shot. But now a still from the movie is making the rounds online, and it seems like Jake Jr. might have made a cameo after all. The (obviously NSFW ) picture after the jump.
