As noted in today’s edition of The Broadsheet, a writer at VF. com has made a compelling (or at least intriguing, or at least time-killing) case for The King’s Speech being little more than a well-produced riff on the original 1984 version of The Karate Kid . On the one hand, tropes is tropes; there are only so many original stories in the world, and eventually everything will have something in common. On the other… I mean, “The unorthodox, uncredentialed teacher is contrasted with a cruel — but more respected — educator.” Or, “The teacher helps fill a void left by the student’s absent father.” Is this the beginning of a covert Sony vs. Weinstein Oscar-season war?

2010 couldn’t shuffle off without one last prison yard shiv to the kidneys, could it? It turns out that Cee-Lo was so happy with Gwyneth Paltrow’s rendition of “F*ck You” on Glee (rechristened “Forget You” for television purposes) that he wants to work with the Oscar winner on a new project. “We’ve been considering a few things actually. You know, we’ll see what pans out. It’s a little too early to commit to a statement and I won’t ruin the surprise because whatever we’re going to do is going to be extra cool.” That’s one way to put it. Here’s hoping 2011 doesn’t start with a story about Cee-Lo getting together with Taylor Momsen . [ E! ]

During her press tour for Black Swan , Natalie Portman revealed that it wasn’t her intense performance — or Darren Aronofsky’s riveting spin on Swan Lake — that attracted both male and female audience members to the theater en masse ; it was the heavily-teased sex scene that she shared with co-star Mila Kunis. But how can the competitive ballerina-on-ballerina relationship (that has been described as Showgirls -esque by some critics) consummated in that scene still qualify Portman for the most respected of acting accolades? Movieline evaluates the artistic merit of the scene ahead (you’re welcome, Academy), and ranks it among the classiest and trashiest cinematic lesbian sex scenes.
