Internet, please react: A highbrow cult phenomenon is being ramped up for mainstream audiences. This is your time to shine! According to Variety , Harry Potter director David Yates is teaming with the BBC Worldwide to turn Doctor Who , the monumental British science-fiction series, into a big screen franchise. Said Yates of the new project, “We’re looking at writers now. We’re going to spend two to three years to get it right. It needs quite a radical transformation to take it into the bigger arena.” Excited yet? Or nervous in that Absolutely Fabulous – never-ended-up-happening way?
This weekend, Brad Pitt announced that he plans on retiring from acting in three years. Sure, a declaration like that should be taken with a grain of salt, especially considering the similar threats made by actors like Ryan Gosling and drunken directors like Steven Soderbergh , that turned out to be mere fantasies rather than concrete plans. Regardless of the sincerity of this statement though, Movieline wonders: Is it time for Brad Pitt to quit acting?
Poet/playwright Nick Flynn’s memoir Another Bullshit Night in Suck City is right for a movie adaptation: Its two main characters, Flynn and his father, are deep, articulate characters with a lot of angst to go around. In the first trailer for Focus’s adaptation Being Flynn , the younger Flynn (Paul Dano) analyzes the value of reuniting with his estranged father (Robert De Niro). Clip after the jump.
With her turn in Horrible Bosses earlier this year, Jennifer Aniston likely made a lot of people reevaluate the American sweetheart/mediocre romantic comedy persona she’s cultivated (or been burdened by) over the years. Wanderlust further helps her break that mold in hilarious fashion. Jen and Paul Rudd play a couple who exit the city and take refuge in the country within a community that is … shall we say, socially liberal. Watch the trailer: Wanderlust Trailer Their new community/commune home is filled with people who embrace a free-spirited mentality when it comes to jobs, relationships, clothes … you name it. Produced by Judd Apatow, Wanderlust is also notable as the film where Jen met Justin Theroux, who co-stars in the film and is now her live-in boyfriend. It comes out February 24.
Is Kate Middleton pregnant? The Duchess has ignited speculation that she is expecting once again after a visit to a UNICEF distribution center in Copenhagen, Denmark. With Prince William at her side, Kate avoided a certain food product as they sampled items from UNICEF aid packages sent to famine-stricken East African countries. While members of the Danish royal family and William tasted peanut paste, Kate politely refused and reportedly gave her husband of six months a knowing look. Doctors have frequently recommended pregnant women avoid peanuts and byproducts while expecting in order to help prevent allergies in their babies-to-be. What’s more, The Palace itself even “went out of their way to stress that she has no nut allergy whatsoever,” an editor for Britain’s The Sun told ABC News. Whenever William and Kate Middleton welcome their first child, he or she will inherit the throne. The rules were changed to allow a first-born daughter to rule. If they have a girl first, that is. The UK monarchy recently agreed that a first-born girl should be able to ascend the throne even if she has younger brothers. Still, pregnancy speculation or not, Middleton is certainly not displaying any bump just yet; Britain’s Best Dressed was slim and stylish as ever in Denmark. Congratulations … maybe!

Wait, Mariah Yeater: who’s the daddy?!? This 20-year old has been in the news all week because she’s filed a paternity lawsuit against Justin Bieber, alleging he knocked her up after a concert in late 2010 ( which he has denied ). But a woman named Frances Lippe has now come forward with major scoop related to this claim. Lippe tells TMZ that Yeater once dated her grandson, John Terranova. In December, about one month after she says Bieber got her pregnant, Yeater reportedly showed up at Lippe’s house and got into a major altercation with Terranova, stemming for her assertion that HE was the father of her child. Lippe says Yeater broke a window in the home and slapped her grandson three times in the face. Police were called to the scene and Yeater was booked on charges of battery. The family never heard from Mariah again. On July 6, she gave birth to a boy – and did NOT list anyone as the father.
