Zac Efron Unveils… Ninjas Runnin’ Wild?

At risk of overloading the front half of your day with juicy Zac Efron moguldom updates, let’s just make this quick: The young hyphenate and his partners have officially dubbed their production company Ninjas Runnin’ Wild because, well, who knows? You can’t deny it has a better ring than The Efron Company or whatever. And they’re already in development on five films, including an “untitled workplace comedy” in which Efron will… star. No pun intended. [ THR ]

Ray Bradbury: Mel Gibson Too Busy with ‘Russian Girl’ to Adapt Fahrenheit 451

You know who are awesome? Old people are awesome. Especially old, brilliant, prolific artists who don’t give a damn what inside information they drop in public — or how they drop it. Take Ray Bradbury, the legendary 89-year-old author whose Fahrenheit 451 film rights belong to… Mel Gibson. Awkward! And of course Bradbury has a funny (if brief) story about it, which he recently shared via Skype with a crowd in Chicago. Video after the jump.

Lindsay Lohan Career Renaissance to Continue with Prison Diary?

Maybe all Mel Gibson needs to reinvigorate his career is a potential trip to jail. Not only will Lindsay Lohan have the chance to salaciously wave her butt in front of a German shepherd when her 90-day sentence ends, but she’ll also be an in-demand author. Never mind that LiLo couldn’t be bothered to fully spell out the word ” you ” when she was cursing out the American justice system.

Andy Richter Tweets

Congratulations to Andy Richter for caving to the pressure of the latest social networking trend. Yesterday, Conan’s sidekick logged his first four tweets, which included a photo of himself on the way to ESPN’ s All-Star Legends & Celebrity game. Afterward, the TBS -bound comic messaged: “Had a lot of fun, played well, and in locker room saw the genitals of some of the game’s greats.” [ @richter_andy ]

Jon Hamm’s Glorious Emmy Moment Tarnished By Gassy Pooch

Consider this a late entry to Louis’ “I was totally sleeping when Emmy nominations were announced !” round-up. Jon Hamm also claimed to be snoozing when he got his third nomination for Best Actor in a Drama — but, ever the pro, he added an extra kicker. Seems his dog, Cora, was in bed with him as well and was so overcome with excitement that she “farted in [his] face.” So, next time you think of Don Draper, all slick and smooth with his mid-century modern cool, just imagine him with a faceful of kibble farts. See how cool Don Draper is then. [ TV Guide ]

Seth Rogen’s Untitled Cancer Flick No Longer Untitled

Monotone Canadian funnyman Seth Rogen’s cancer-based comedy is sporting a new name . Previously known as I’m With Cancer and then simply reported as Untitled Cancer Comedy, it’s now been dubbed Live With It. Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as a 25 year-old who contracts a rare form of terminal cancer and Rogen stars as, I’m guessing, his braying boobish friend. They’re joined by a bevy of talented co-stars, including Anjelica Huston, Bryce Dallas Howard, Anna Kendrick and Philip Baker Hall. [ /Film ]
