Newsies , perhaps the greatest Bad Movie We Love , will hit Broadway as a new musical from Sept. 15-Oct. 16 at Millburn, New Jersey’s Paper Mill Playhouse. Original composer Alan Menken is signed on, and he says the show “latche[s] onto exciting elements of what we had in the movie,” while “minimizing the things that were not so great about the movie.” This is a man who understands lovable badness.

From where she’s sitting — literally, high above the rafters — T.V. Carpio must finally feel like she’s found her calling. The multitalented actress has taken a circuitous and almost accidental route to stardom, turning in stints as a would-be Olympian, a Law & Order guest star, and a professional dancer along the way, but currently she’s poised to make her name in the biggest, riskiest manner imaginable: As the female lead in Julie Taymor’s Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark .

Now that the Super Bowl is over, we can focus on the real cultural event of the year: The Academy Awards! To kick off a very special new series of guest Oscar predictions , Movieline consulted British actor Jamie Bell, the star of this week’s The Eagle — and, at the age of 24, veteran of four Oscar-nominated films — to see which films he’s betting on to take home Oscar gold.

Even though Richard Pryor gave her a coke-encrusted vagina once, Mars Attacks! seventeenth-lead Pam Grier claims she taught the comic legend to read while they were dating. In her new memoir, Grier recalls, “He would learn his lines phonetically and people would help him learn his lines, but he’d say, ‘Baby, I wanna learn how to read, and I wanna read War & Peace .” I thought I sensed some Napoleonic angst in Brewster’s Millions .

Why can’t Glee star Lea Michele catch a break with parents? First, she posed in that scandalous GQ photo spread and then she allegedly snubbed True Grit sweetheart Hailee Steinfeld — inciting the wrath of her fans’ parents. Now, Cosmo magazine has unveiled its March cover, which shows the actress posing in a plunging neckline alongside headlines like “The Sex Quiz”, “Get Naked,” and Movieline HQ’ s personal favorite, “For His Thighs Only.” Should we be surprised, and more importantly, should we be angry?

Hans Zimmer has been here before. His nomination today for Inception marked Zimmer’s ninth in the Best Original Score category, an award he’s won once before, for The Lion King . But on a day most people are celebrating, Zimmer is lamenting the fact that his director, Christopher Nolan (who Zimmer also worked with on the Batman films and The Prestige ), was denied a Best Director nomination once again.

Just as The Fighter was a near-lock to earn Oscar nominations today, it’s a near-lock to win at least one or two statuettes during the Feb. 27 ceremony. If you had predicted this eventuality six years ago when Todd Lieberman and his producing partner David Hoberman first undertook the project — a troubled drama amid a development slate that included Beauty Shop and The Shaggy Dog — the producers might have driven you to the hospital themselves. But those crowd-pleasing roots grew into the film The Fighter is today — an awards-season juggernaut for Best Picture rookies Lieberman, Hoberman and star/co-producer Mark Wahlberg.

Samuel Fuller’s twisted 1960s masterpieces The Naked Kiss and Shock Corridor (both of which made their Blu-ray debuts last week from the Criterion Collection) may feature whores, child molesters and nymphomaniacs among their lead characters, but beneath the sensationalism, both films rank as fascinating portraits of their time and rare explorations of society’s outcasts. They’re also incredibly entertaining.
