Amid his tales of deploying prison labor in the service of an Elvis Presley show, legendary producer and all-around Hollywood impresario Jerry Weintraub acknowledged Tuesday night that you shoudn’t expect a fourth installment of the Ocean’s franchise. Also: He once stayed up for four days in Texas drinking and slutting around with Frank Sinatra. Good to know. [ THR ]

In a competitive time for everyone, it takes that extra little something to stand out.

Get the Kleenex: 5 Surprisingly Emotional Moments From The Hills

Tonight, MTV premieres its sixth and final season of The Hills , an iteration that the network has mercilessly teased as the franchise’s cattiest and teariest yet.

Moreover, Fincher is said to want Brad Pitt for the film as well — which could theoretically scuttle the star’s other, lower-paying Sony effort Moneyball depending on scheduling. If this doesn’t affirm the surging Moneyball curse , then nothing will. [ The Times via TOH ]
