Chris Brown Lands a Role in Steve Harvey’s Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man

Posted on July 19, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Stomp the Yard fans, please assemble yourselves and field this life-affirming announcement: Chris Brown, who was good in Stomp the Yard (Jen Yamato assures me), is reportedly starring in a romantic-comedic adaptation of Steve Harvey’s bestselling advice manual Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man . Is this exciting? Problematic? Should we try and sink him with Rihanna’s aircraft carrier from Battleship ? More details follow.

Hence the slow-news-day milestone you’ve been waiting for (or… not): Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey turns 20 today. Feel old yet?

Is Gary Oldman Having a Moment?

Posted on July 19, 2011 by | Leave a comment

As you saw in the underwhelming teaser trailer for The Dark Knight Rises , it wasn’t Christian Bale, Tom Hardy or Anne Hathaway who got a majority of the 90-second screen time — it was Gary Oldman. (And the disembodied voice of Liam Neeson.) Oldman’s wheezing and battered-looking Commissioner Gordon told an off-screen Batman about “evil” and all the other mumbo-jumbo that old wheezing men in hospital beds go on about, and basically stole the show. The renowned character actor is also front-and-center on the U.K. poster for Tinker Tailor Solider Spy , with a headshot usually reserved for A-listers like Will Smith or Russell Crowe. Which raises the question: Is Gary Oldman having a moment?
