Joss Whedon Tops Louis Letterier for Avengers Gig

It had been rumored for a little while, and now it looks like Joss Whedon is in negotiations to direct Marvel’s all-star team-up The Avengers . (You may remember Clash of the Titans helmer Louis Letterier was also on that shortlist .) The Buffy the Vampire Slayer just wrapped his last gig, directing an episode of Glee ; this will surely prove invaluable when Iron Man leads his fellow heroes in a rousing, Auto-Tuned group-sing of JoJo’s “Too Little Too Late.” [ Deadline ]

The Most Candid, Outrageous Quotes From Our Last Year in Interviews

If any of you were readers of Movieline during its print heyday, you know it was the place for candid celebrity interviews ( Just ask Jennifer Lopez! ) and since we revived the Movieline mantle last year, we’ve strived to lived up to that legacy. When you read a Movieline interview, you won’t just get the same old tired questions like “What was it like to work with George Clooney?” and “I know your promoting some tiny indie movie right now, but can we talk about your superhero flick instead?” Here, we hope it’s a good conversation first and foremost, and when it is, actors and artists often drop their guard, offering things you’d never expect. Here’s just a sampling of some of the most intriguing, eye-opening, and just plain revealing quotes we’ve collected at interviews in the past year:

Rubbing The Crystal Ball: Movieline Predicts the Hollywood Year Ahead

Today, as you’re well aware by now , Movieline celebrates its first birthday on these Internets [SFX: popping of champagne corks, the joyous slap of high-fives, the grinding snarl of a chainsaw carving an ice sculpture of Jim Cameron’s bust], and the occasion is being marked with some contemplative looks back at the previous year in entertainment as observed by our bouncing baby e-publication. With the retrospective angle so ably handled by other colleagues, this column’s been tasked with looking ahead to the coming year, and so we’ll gaze into the Movieline crystal ball and try to discern from the murky, flickering images contained therein what unexpected trends, paradigm-shifting events and other assorted happenings to expect from Hollywood in the next 12 months.

What’s On: Glee Rents a Superstar

Glee returns tonight, but cone bras haven’t entered the immediate periphery yet. So what does the new episode bring that can edify our need for the pseudo-presence of a musical superstar? They’re giving us the actual presence of the woman who first strutted a little number called “The Tango Maureen.” It’s a whole new season of love.

A Full Year of Movieline’s Virtual Newsstand

Sigourney Weaver’s Sour Grapes

When a famous actress delivers an unusually candid quote to a foreign news site you’ve never heard of, it’s only fair to think that something may be lost in translation. At least, that’s the only explanation I can think of for this: “Jim [Cameron] didn’t have breasts, and I think that was the reason [he lost the Best Director Oscar],” Sigourney Weaver supposedly told Folha Online, a Brazilian news site. “He should have taken home that Oscar…In the past, Avatar would have won because they loved to hand out awards to big productions, like Ben-Hur . Today it’s fashionable to give the Oscar to a small movie that nobody saw.” [ HuffPo ]

Harry Shum Jr. on the Perks of Glee, Oprah and On-Set Dance Battles

Even for the cast members of Glee , who are coasting through an Emmy award-winning freshman year, last week’s appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Show was special. But for Harry Shum, Jr., who plays Mike Chang, the episode was his introduction to America via Matthew Morrison, who when summoned to show off his dancing abilities, turned the attention onto 25-year-old co-star: “This guy is incredible, and I’m so happy there is a show called Glee that can showcase the talents of someone who just breathes dance.” For those who were unfamiliar until last week, Shum, Jr. starred in the iconic iPod “silhouette” campaign, appeared in two Step Up movies and co-choreographed a number during this year’s Academy Awards. In anticipation of the show’s mid-season premiere tonight, Harry Shum Jr. phoned Movieline to discuss his whirlwind week performing for the Obamas and Oprah, his days dancing for Beyoncé and the unlikely companion he found on the set of Glee

Dixie Carter’s Exorcism Exercise

American Idol Goes for Brooke

Brooke White is slated to perform (along with guest-mentor Adam Lambert) on Wednesday’s American Idol results show in a duet with Miley Cyrus ex Justin Gaston. The season seven fifth-place finisher is part of the web series If I Can Dream with Gaston and recent Idol castoff Alex Lambert, and she’ll inevitably chirp something along the lines of her gentle “You’re So Vain”/”Let it Be” triumphs. My response? I could skip this second-rate Didi Benami. Sorry, but where’s the urgency? The hurt? The fiiii-yahhhhhh-herrrrrrr ? If you ask me, we need a results-night comeback from a true Idol gem. I’m talking about the best contestant in the show’s history — and resident funny valentine — Melinda Doolittle. [ EW ]
