At Tribeca: Robert De Niro Talks Scorsese Reunion, SNL Hosting and the GOP’s ‘Big Hustle’

One of the hotter tickets of this year’s Tribeca Film Festival got attendees into today’s conversation between festival co-founder Robert De Niro and NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams. The latter acknowledged that he pitched the event to organizers as a unabashed De Niro fan, and the sprawling subject matter of the hour-long chat — from the Oscar-winner’s school plays to a hilarious anticlimax involving his middle name — yielded more than a few revelations for Williams and the rest of us. Here a few of the highlights:

Breaking: Lindsay Lohan Taken Into Custody, Sentenced to 4 Months in Jail

In a hearing today for the case of the $2,500 necklace that was alleged stolen from a jewelry shop by Lindsay Lohan in January, a judge found Lohan in violation of her probation and sentenced her to 120 days in jail . In addition to her time in the clink, Lohan must perform 480 hours of community service, 360 of which must be at the Downtown Women’s Center in Los Angeles so that, according to Judge Stephanie Sautner, “perhaps then she will see women who are truly needy and might change her behavior.” Does this mean the Gotti pic is back off?

Will Film Stars Like Jim Carrey and Will Ferrell Boost The Office Ratings?

Last year when Steve Carell announced that he would be leaving The Office , NBC was not sure how to replace the actor, who had gone on to develop a successful film career for himself. Would they promote from within Dunder Mifflin or hire an outsider with as much star power as Carell? In a surprise move, NBC overshot expectations by recruiting two of the biggest box office stars (comically speaking) to Scranton: Will Ferrell and Jim Carrey. Can these comedians boost ratings for the series, which in its seventh season, is slumping number-wise?

Watch Pint-Sized Thor One-Up the Volkswagen Darth Vader Kid

Remember that adorable Star Wars -themed VW Super Bowl commercial that went viral, about a tyke in a Darth Vader costume who’s duped into thinking his Force is strong by a dad with a remote-controlled keychain? (Ah, deceiving kids. Always fun.) Well, here comes Little Thor, whose frustrated attempts to similarly use Mjolnir on unsuspecting household appliances and a golden retriever culminate in a decidedly different ending.

Is Joel Edgerton Bourne to Replace Matt Damon? [UPDATE: Nope]

Sinister news in the rumor yard, dear teens: Since Matt Damon ditched the series, Aussie actor Joel Edgerton (of Animal Kingdom ) may be cast as an agent named Martin who was part of a Treadstone-like program in the upcoming Bourne Legacy . Director Tony Gilroy reportedly wants Edgerton for the role, but the studio is concerned about his fame level and potential to star in the concurrently filmed Snow White movie (now that Hugh Jackman has dropped out). I’m personally ready for a female Bourne. Is it too late to suggest Marion Cotillard? In a flak jacket? And sensible trousers? UPDATE : Our pal Jeremy Renner got the part! [ Deadline ]
