In The Kids are All Right , lesbian moms Nic and Jules (Annette Bening and Julianne Moore) and their teenage children (Mia Wasikowska and Josh Hutcherson) have to withstand a lot upheaval when the kids’ feckless sperm donor (Mark Ruffalo) comes back into their lives. For director Lisa Cholodenko, making the movie was just as complicated.

Former Alaska governor’s statement emphasizes daughter’s belief in ‘redemption and forgiveness.’ By Gil Kaufman Sarah Palin (file) Photo: Chip Somodevilla/ Getty Images You can bet things are going to be a bit tense at the reception. Just hours after the cover of this week’s Us Weekly was revealed — depicting a once-again engaged Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston — Bristol’s mother, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin weighed in on the surprise news. “Bristol at 19 is now a young adult. We obviously want what’s best for our children,” Palin and snowmobiling husband Todd said in a statement that was read on the “Today” show on Wednesday morning (July 14). “Bristol believes in redemption and forgiveness to a degree most of us struggle to put in practice in our daily lives.” The not-so-subtle message of the statement appeared to diss to high school dropout Johnston, 20, the one-time Playgirl model and aspiring actor who went on a tear criticizing the Palin household after he and Bristol broke up in December 2008, two weeks after their son, Tripp, was born. Bristol told Us that the couple got engaged again two weeks ago, that she had forgiven Levi for his unkind words and that they had not alerted her mom to the news, a decision she said made her a little afraid. “We got engaged two weeks ago,” she admitted. “It felt right, even though we don’t have the approval of our parents. … It is intimidating and scary just to think about what her reaction is going to be. Hopefully she’ll jump onboard.” Abstinence advocate Bristol is pictured wearing all white on the cover and standing alongside Johnston, also dressed in white and holding Tripp. “Today” reported that no wedding date has been set yet, but that the young couple would like to tie the knot quickly, perhaps as soon as next month. Until then, they are reportedly living separately. What do you think of Sarah Palin’s statement? Tell us in comments below.

Actor is reportedly ‘in late-stage discussions’ to take over Edward Norton’s role in the comic book supergroup. By Kara Warner Mark Ruffalo Photo: Mike Coppola/ FilmMagic Hot on the heels of Marvel’s big announcement Monday that Edward Norton would not be reprising the role of Bruce Banner in “The Avengers” comes a report that studio head Kevin Feige and company have tapped Mark Ruffalo to take over the role. According to Deadline Hollywood Daily , Ruffalo is “now in late-stage discussions between Marvel and his brand-new agency United Talent to play this key member of the Avengers ensemble.” Regarding the ensemble in question, which includes Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/ Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Captain America, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Feige’s statement seemed to hint that the production wanted more of a team player: ” ‘The Avengers’ demands players who thrive working as part of an ensemble. … We are looking to announce a name actor who fulfills these requirements and is passionate about the iconic role in the coming weeks.” Whether Norton fit the bill is up for debate, but Ruffalo has often appeared in films as part of an ensemble or in various scene-stealing supporting roles (he was also an MTV Movie Awards nominee with “13 Going on 30” co-star Jennifer Garner for Best Musical Performance in 2005) and has a reputation within the industry for being very well-liked among his peers. When MTV News spoke with Ruffalo about the possibility of his taking on a comic book character or movie, the actor revealed he had been in talks to play Harvey Dent in “The Dark Knight,” calling it the “Godfather” of comic book movies. “[It] raises the bar on anything,” he said of “The Dark Knight.” “Nothing can touch it in that genre. It’s great filmmaking.” Ruffalo added that he wasn’t sure if tights or superhero garb were in his future, but that he’s open to the opportunity. “I don’t know if I’ll ever end up in that world,” Ruffalo told MTV News. “But I’d love to work with Christopher Nolan. He’s one of those directors you want to work with. He’s a great director.” What do you think of Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner? Let us know in the comments!
