Seth Rogen and Barbra Streisand Offered My Mother’s Curse

A year after this idea was originally floated out into the ether, it seems that Seth Rogen and Barbra Streisand have officially been offered roles in My Mother’s Curse . The Dan Fogelman-scripted film will be directed by The Proposal ‘s Anne Fletcher and casts Rogen and Streisand as mother and son on a road trip across the country. Last summer, Rogen called the film “one of the many projects [he] may or may not do in the next fifteen years,” so expect to see it sometime before 2024. [ The Playlist ]

Did Elisabeth Hasselbeck Just Win Her Feud with Kathy Griffin?

Feuds between huffy View panelists and loudmouth comedians aren’t exactly titillating on paper, but Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s war of whines with Kathy Griffin is a surprisingly good time.

Hugh Jackman Resigned to Smooth-Chested Werewolf Trend

Between Twilight and True Blood , have we entered a new era where smooth, six-packed werewolves must manscape? Hugh Jackman thinks so, though the hirsute star scoffed at rumors that Taylor Lautner might join X-Men: First Class as a younger version of his Wolverine: “My only question is, can he grow mutton chops?” Jackman asked E!’s Marc Malkin. “Actually, I think people would probably prefer him as a hairless Wolverine than a rather hairy-chested version. Certainly about a billion young girls would.” [ E! ]

Would You Pay $800,000 for a Censored Rerun of True Blood?

When HBO sold Sex and the City into syndication, pundits scoffed that there wouldn’t be much left in the episodes after timid basic-cable edits, but with some prudent trimming of Kim Cattrall’s most salacious scenes, the reruns did big business on TBS without too much of an outcry. Still, can HBO stablemate True Blood possibly survive to a syndicated version bowdlerized of its sex and violence — and is the network asking too much for it?
