Which Celebrity Dressed Up As a Dead Body This Weekend?

And you thought your Contagion Matt Damon costume was elaborate. This past weekend, one celebrity/sometimes actress trumped all of the ghoul-like get-ups you and your uninspired friends will wear in an entire lifetime by jumping into a skinless corpse bodysuit…and employing two extras in surgeon costumes to push her down the red carpet on an autopsy table. Can you guess who is responsible for the most elaborate Halloween costume thus far?

Muppets Coming to WWE, Naturally

After the success of Hugh Jackman’s WWE cameo last month , Disney has partnered with the wrestling juggernaut to bring the Muppets to tonight’s live Halloween episode from Atlanta. “I can only imagine what will trend this week with the Muppets guest starring, especially when the audience sees what the Muppets are going to do,” said a WWE executive.

Read Terrence Malick’s 1979 Script Notes from the Tree of Life Precursor Qasida

When Paramount gave a post- Days of Heaven Terrence Malick $1 million, carte blanche, to make his next film, he began developing a highly ambitious project about the creation of life and the cosmos entitled Qasida (or, simply, Q ). Of course, the studio balked at the abstract Malick-ness of it all, the film stalled, and the director took the next two decades off from filmmaking. But!

How About Brett Ratner Just Makes Beverly Hills Witch and Calls it Even?

We established long ago, well before Tower Heist was greenlit, that sorting out the many irons in Brett Ratner’s directorial fire is something of a fool’s errand . New projects seem to come and go from the filmmaker’s slate every day, with a few priority projects like Beverly Hills Cop IV hang on for dear life (their stars’ disinterest notwithstanding). And now you can add another “dream project” to the list.
