Bret Michaels Might Return to Celebrity Apprentice

How’s this for a sweeps week stunt? The recovery of Poison frontman Bret Michaels is progressing so well that doctors think there’s a chance he could make an appearance on the season finale of Celebrity Apprentice , just in time for Donald Trump to fire him. Hey, brain aneurysm or not, the Donald doesn’t tolerate missing work. [ THR ]

Rambo Draws Last Blood

Sad news for fans of Botox’d freedom fighters. Sylvester Stallone told Empire magazine that he’s no longer interested in furthering the story of John Rambo: “I think Rambo ‘s pretty well done. I don’t think there’ll be any more. I’m about 99% sure.” So you’re saying there’s a chance! Have no fear, however, Stallone said the lack of Rambo in his life will allow him to concentrate on more important things. Like a sequel to The Expendables . Please contain your excitement.

Zoolander 2 Needs a Eugoogoly

What a bad week for endlessly quotable, early aughts frat pack comedies. First Anchorman 2 gets shoved into a glass case of emotion, and now Ben Stiller says Zoolander 2 isn’t happening. “Ron Burgundy and Derek Zoolander looking to appear in sequels. Both men destitute, without means or intellect to fund their own comebacks.” Apparently in the eyes of Paramount, Hansel has gone from “so hot” to “so tepid.” [ @RedHourBen ]

Matthew Vaughn in Running for X-Men: First Class?

An intriguing Friday rumor has Kick-Ass director Matthew Vaughn at the top of Fox’s list to helm its reboot X-Men First Class . Having proven his dexterity and skill with young people in costume killing villains, the director would merely need to leave the C-word behind and this is his. But does he want it? Sources close to Vaughn say maybe not. Developing… [ Deadline ]

Conan O’Brien Denies That His Tonight Show Lost Money, Says He Is Still Angry

CBS has been throwing buckets of tasty Conan O’B rien quotes overboard this week, hoping to bait a younger 60 Minutes audience and bring its median age down to 50. Yesterday, the network cleverly released a Jay-bashing soundbite from this Sunday’s interview. And today’s delicious excerpt slices through the very argument NBC used to boot him from his time slot.

Dark Knight Sequel Gets Release Date

A very excited Warner Bros. announced today that the long-awaited follow-up to The Dark Knight finally has a release date: July 20, 2012. The film doesn’t yet have a title, a cast, a plot, a director (though Christopher Nolan is widely assumed to be helming), or a format announcement (3D? IMAX ? Both?) but what would be the fun in divulging those? British tabloids need something to guess about . [ Box Office Mojo ]

What’s On: Trying to Defy Gravity

Starz’s freshman suicide survivor series debuted last week and proved that, like Dead Like Me and Six Feet Under before it, balancing comedy, drama and death is tough. Even with bubbly Kristen Ritter, whose character designed an actual “death by chocolate” cake, the show still has far to go before it finds its footing.

Stephen Baldwin Attempts to Clear Up Your Misconceptions About RestoreStephenBaldwin.org

It arrived last week like a bolt from Heaven itself: RestoreStephenBaldwin.org , your one-stop shop for charitable contributions to the most famous bankrupt born-again Christian in Hollywood. Its mysterious provenance and outlandish ambition was the stuff of near-instant Internet legend, and today, as if to burnish that legend, Stephen Baldwin would just like to explain that it’s not his fault .

Noah Baumbach Abandons Penguins

If you were intrigued by the notion of Noah Baumbach reuniting with his Greenberg star Ben Stiller for an out-of-character adaptation of the children’s classic Mr. Popper’s Penguins , here’s some bad news: the LAT says Baumbach is now off the project. A shame. We really would have liked to see Mr. Popper destroy those pet penguins with some passive-aggressive psychological warfare. [ LAT ]

Kristen Wiig Auto-Croons the MacGruber Theme

As though Kristen Wiig doesn’t already have enough to do every week on Saturday Night Live , she’s now pulling double duty for the MacGruber soundtrack, contributing three songs. Stereogum has the premiere of her 80’s inspirational dirge “Champion,” and it’s every bit as intentionally bad as you would expect. Which is good, right? [ Stereogum ]
