Lake Bell Exits Scream 4

Was Lake Bell a big enough celebrity to shoot a “name cameo” (read: opening scene cannon fodder) in Scream 4 ? No matter: the How to Make It in America actress has been forced to drop out . “Sucks: Scheduling conflicts with my current gig means I cant do #Scream4!” she tweeted last night. “(Hey horror bloggers, I know who the killer is…)” Amanda Bynes, call your agent — it’s comeback time!

New Trailer Imagines Young Barack Obama as Original Karate Kid

This is kind of spellbinding: A filmmaker in Indonesia has co-opted Barack Obama’s rough youthful stopover in that country as a launching pad for ripping off The Karate Kid . But with boxing gloves.

Cake Boss Spinoff = Cake Overload

TLC is spinning off its reality hit Cake Boss with a competition series pitting 10 cakemakers against one another.

Linsday Lohan to Flirt with Dog, For Art

REVIEW: Dull, Unfunny Grown Ups Pees in the Summer Movie Pool

The perhaps intentional irony of Grown Ups is that it doesn’t appear to have been made by — or even for — actual grown-ups. Maybe that’s supposed to be part of its charm. A riff on the idea that boys will always be boys, no matter how old they get, Grown Ups brings together five middle-aged characters who have no idea how they ever got out of short pants, though in reality, they haven’t gotten out of short pants at all: They wander through the movie in those boyish baggy shorts that hang to the knee, unable to commit to being actual trousers.
