Gemma Ward Joins Pirates 4?

The Aussie supermodel and fledgling actress is the latest name to surface in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides casting rumors. The always-reliable Courier Mail notes that Ward will end her extended movie break as a mermaid in the film; she’ll shoot her scenes in August. Moreover, according to a anonymous “friend,” Ward has spent the last year in New York “studying the craft full time.” She is going to kill the hell out of that mermaid! High-five, Gemma.

Unlucky No. 7: The Evil Exes of Scott Pilgrim Get Postered

Not that I’ve pinned the entire success of the summer movie season on Scott Pilgrim vs. The World , but — pleasepleaseplease wind up being good. You never want to be overly hyped for any movie, but the marketing for Scott Pilgrim has made that impossible. The new individual character posters highlighting each of the evil exes that Scott must battle are right inline with the recent trailer and don’t stop any of the forward momentum. Get excited! After the jump, the six posters.

Movieline’s Week in Review: Be Very Afraid

It might seem like a miracle that there’s any news to collect here at all, but you’d be surprised what even the most stultifying week in the history of modern pop culture can yield. We do it all for you, Dear Reader. Anyway, it’s Friday, so enough already. Drop by this weekend to catch up with Christopher Rosen, and the rest of team ML will see you Monday. Bye! [Presses eject, is shot into space.]

Is This the Most Eerily Prepared Child Star Ever?

I was under the assumption that Disney Channel stars endured the worst It Factor hard-wiring, but Nickelodeon just debunked that with an atomic “It” bomb named Reed Alexander. He’s a 15-year-old iCarly actor who fancies himself a Mario Batali for tweens, and he’s prepared for a syndication deal. Alexander appeared this morning with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb on Today to talk about making “great make-ahead desserts” that are “so fun for your friends in the summertime.” Which is fine! Except that he’s the most frightening child you. Have. Ever. Seen.

What’s On: Miami Medical Goes Under

A harrowing aquatic mishap forces Miami Medical ‘s staff to buckle down on tonight’s episode. If hospital drama isn’t your milieu, Comedy Central’s got a brand-new comedy special starring one of the biggest post-millennial acts, and Friday Night Lights returns with a new, sure-to-be-under-appreciated episode. I picked out a nice prostitute movie on TBS for the rest of you guys.

Breaking Bad Creator Vince Gilligan on AMC’s ‘Big Balls’ and a Potential Fifth Season

Over the course of three seasons, Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan has transformed his protagonist from a spineless husband and chemistry teacher into a cold-hearted meth chemist who neglects his family in order to churn out hundreds of pounds of lethal crystal for cash. The role, born somewhere deep in Gilligan’s subconscious, won star Bryan Cranston back-to-back Emmys, and tied together three seasons of one of the best (and darkest) dramas on television today. Gilligan himself, though, could not be any more different than the grim world and characters he created. In anticipation of this Sunday’s season finale, the native Virginian — who also wrote and produced over 30 episodes of The X Files and penned the Will Smith blockbuster Hancock — phoned Movieline to cheerfully talk about the nuttiest scene he ever wrote for Walt (that never made it to air), the encouragement of AMC, and the possibility of renewing Breaking Bad for a fifth season.

Tom Cruise Would Like to Be Your New Viral Video Star

Someone must have introduced Tom Cruise to YouTube this year, because the dude is seriously going after this bite-sized video market. After watching Cruise harass himself and the stars of Twilight in short-form content and then endure an ass-whooping at the feet of Cameron Diaz , are you ready for the latest, World-Cup-friendly edition of his viral videos?

Guilds May Oppose Miramax Sale

Somewhere along the line, low-life “financier” David Bergstein and Co. managed an exclusive negotiating window with Disney for the chance to buy the Miramax library. Not so fast, say the WGA, DGA and SAG, all of whom remain creditors in involuntary bankruptcy claims against several of Bergstein’s other properties. Tack on another 600 films’ worth of residuals they may or may not ever receive, and you can see the problem here. Disney says it’s unaware of any opposition expressed or implied, but, you know. Let’s just nudge this back to the Weinsteins and be done with it already. [ NYT ]

Late Night Highlights: Awkward Sex Scene Secrets From Julia Roberts and Jennifer Aniston and MJ’s Hitler Mustache

Last night on two different late night programs, Bryan Cranston and John C. Reilly shared eerily similar stories about their sex scenes with A-list actresses. One story involved a c*ck sock. Another story involved a chastity belt. Both stories involved bruised egos. Click through for those humiliating tales as well as the other highlights you missed last night while praying for Glee ‘s cancellation .

Is Spielberg’s New Lead Eddie Redmayne?

I guess having that locked-in release date of August 10, 2011 is just what Steven Spielberg needed to really commit to making War Horse his next film. The Playlist hears that he’s gone ahead and cast Verge alum Eddie Redmayne in the story of a farmer’s son who longs to be reunited with his favorite horse during the first World War. I’m guessing that Eddie isn’t the horse (though it certainly might make things a little more interesting). [ The Playlist ]
