Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi Head to Splitsville

Sad news out of the ABC dating franchise, The Bachelor . Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi have broken up, effectively ending their engagement. Said one of Pavelka’s representatives in a statement: “Jake and Vienna have split and appreciate the respect for their privacy at this time.” Because two people who had their entire courtship and relationship played out on various ABC reality shows certainly deserve privacy when something actually interesting happens between them. For statheads, this brings the total number of failed Bachelor -based relationships to 13. [ E! ]

The Tillman Story Trailer: Get Ready to Get Angry

I really can’t wait to see how a certain right-wing movie blog deals with this one — who’s smearable, who are the easy ideological targets in The Tillman Story .

Conviction Trailer: Could it Be Swank vs. Bening, Round 3?

Last year, we wondered whether Hilary Swank and Annette Bening were fated to have yet another Best Actress rematch at the Oscars… then Swank’s Amelia bombed and Bening’s Mother and Child wasn’t even released in 2009 (instead, it made a negligible ripple earlier this year). Maybe we were just a little premature, since Bening’s got The Kids Are All Right coming very soon and Swank has Conviction (formerly named Betty Anne Waters ). Lets dig into the new Conviction trailer and guess at her odds.

Smurfs Trailer Debuts New, Tone-Loc-Sampling Theme Song

Hope you didn’t get your hopes up about that Smurfs teaser trailer: it has arrived (via Yahoo ), and it has about two seconds more of Smurfage than could be gleaned via today’s first still . But! There is a brief snatch of the new theme song, and it’s been remixed with Tone Loc’s “Wild Thing,” because why wouldn’t it be?

The Bagman Trailer: Kevin Spacey Embraces His Inner Mob Movie

When Movieline saw the first public screening of Casino Jack Bagman back in January, director George Hickenlooper described his newest film as ” Goodfellas in Washington.” And if that’s the case, then it’s no wonder the trailer is wall-to-wall with Rolling Stones music cues. But where’s Joe Pesci when you need him?

The Gulliver’s Travels Trailer: Where the Laughs Are Lilliputia

You most likely didn’t have high hopes for Gulliver’s Travels anyway — the poster looks like one of those spoof movies in Tropic Thunder — but goodness is this trailer truly awful .
