It’s not going so well for Rob Reiner’s Flipped . The period family drama came out August 6 in limited theaters and was supposed to move into wide release this Friday, but instead of expanding, it will continue to drop theaters after a few weeks of tough box office. Five straight months of inexplicably constant LA Times coverage couldn’t move the needle any? [ THR ]

You can accuse Michael Bay of hubris, nonsensical filmmaking and a mild lingerie-model fetish , but don’t you dare level charges that his drunk bodyguard pistol-whipped you and a buddy into unconsciousness. Bay’s lawyer Marty Singer echoed his client’s angry claims that he had nothing to do with the alleged assault two years ago (and doesn’t even have a bodyguard), and that if the plaintiffs don’t stand down and apologize, there will be hell to pay. Developing (but probably not for long)… [ TMZ ]

Remember how funny Matt Damon was during the season finale of 30 Rock as a grumpypants pilot? Well, according to frequent guest star — and View co-host — Sherri Shepherd, he’s back for a little more Liz Lemon loving this season. “OMG!! I’m on set @ 30 Rock next to Tina Fey & MATT DAMON is sitting behind me,” she tweeted this morning. “I went over & said hi — think I just got pregnant! Jamal Damon.” Sherri loves making pregnancy jokes , huh? Anyway, this is awesome. [ @SherriEShepherd via NYP /PopWrap ]

And you thought Javier Bardem would have to rely on his postage-required performance in Eat, Pray, Love to get into the Oscar race in 2011. Roadside Attractions and Liddell Entertainment have acquired the U.S. distribution rights to Biutiful , the latest film from Alejandro González Iñárritu, and will release it in December. When the film premiered at Cannes, Movieline called Bardem’s performance one of the ” finest of his career .” Perhaps he should start picking out a tuxedo sooner rather than later.

Congratulations to filmmakers Francis Ford Coppola and Jean-Luc Godard, actor Eli Wallach, and film historian and preservationist Kevin Brownlow on their imminent recognition at this year’s Academy Governors Awards. They deserve it, but at least in Godard’s case, will the French New Wave pioneer — who historically sniffs at prizes and couldn’t even be bothered to attend his latest film’s Cannes premiere — even show up to accept? Take Movieline’s poll after the jump!
