Miranda Lambert didn’t exactly love Ashton Kutcher’s get-up at this year’s Academy of Country Music Awards. Was Ashton Kutcher making fun of country or is it just me? Watching it back now and I’m kinda wondering? the beloved country star asked about Kutcher presenting an award at the event, while donning a giant cowboy hat and belt buckle. But whatever tension may have existed between the stars is now gone, as Lambert Tweeted the following photo of herself and the Two and a Half Men star at a pre-Kentucky Derby charity event Saturday night: “Here it is y’all. He is sweet and lives country music! For real!” Miranda wrote along with the image. It’s nice to see this pair getting along. As for Lambert and Chris Brown ? We probably shouldn’t hold our breath for a similar type of detente.

While talking up this month’s Men in Black III – in which he does an uncanny Tommy Lee Jones impersonation playing Jones’ ‘60s-era younger self – Josh Brolin took a moment to discuss the upcoming project that makes him nervous just to think about: Spike Lee ’s Oldboy , the remake of Park Chan-wook’s ultraviolent 2003 film, for which Brolin says he sought Park’s blessing before taking on the Hollywood remake. “I love Oldboy and I’m close with Chan-wook Park and I emailed him a couple months ago just asking for his blessing to do this movie,” said Brolin, “because if he had said no I wouldn’t have done it. I really respect his movie and we’ll make a little different movie, and this whole idea of a more Hollywood version of it, whatever – we’re just going to do a different version and have respect for the initial story and premise.” “I’m talking about it nervously because it makes me nervous.” Brolin will be joined in the cast by rising ingénue Elizabeth Olsen and District 9 ’s Sharlto Copley , the latter of whom sent his own message to Brolin when he joined the cast. “He just wrote me an email and was like, ‘Look, I’ve got to get this out of the way – Goonies was my favorite film! Now I’m going to make 20 years of your life miserable,’” Brolin said. The details of just how much Lee’s remake will stay true to the original film remain a mystery, though Brolin did confirm that their version will keep the infamous hammer fight scene. “Yes, by the way,” he said. “Yes. It’s a hammer, a knife, and all that stuff. Will we keep the octopus and the other stuff? You know, there are some changes and all that. But I think it’s really good. It still makes me throw down the script halfway through.” Filming begins in October on the anticipated project, and while Brolin seems confident that the remake will remain true to the source material while carving its own path, he knows a thing or two about woulda-coulda-shoulda thinking. Elsewhere in the conversation, Brolin brought up the specter of his 2010 bomb Jonah Hex unprompted. “I think that was a snowball effect,” he said, citing the film’s meteoric plunge in the media. “It got so much negative press, because we did so many reshoots, we did a ton of reshoots, man. I’m going to stand behind any movie that I do, and I do like the character. If I go back and see it now, I go, ‘That’s an interesting character.’ It’s not the movie I would have made. My intention was to make an Eastwood/Leone-esque really gritty $5-7 million film that I think would have been massively profitable, but you don’t have control over these things all the time.” Despite all that, Brolin learned a long time ago to embrace the serendipity of perceived failure – like when he lost the lead in 21 Jump Street to Johnny Depp . “ 21 Jump Street was between Johnny Depp and I,” he recalled. “Johnny got it, but we were in his apartment waiting to find out which one was going to actually leave on a plane that night.” Asked how he dealt with the disappointment of losing that gig, he laughed. “I love that you think 21 Jump Street was a huge disappointment! Johnny called me a year later and said, ‘Dude, this is awful!’” Stay tuned for more from Brolin, Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, and Barry Sonnenfeld on Men in Black III . Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter .

But music is still a top priority.

My name is Hanna and I am 14. I never thought I would be writing one of these but I guess never say never. I did meet Justin in February 2010 twice, but I felt like I had to meet him again. It all started when my friend Eliza told me that her dad would be organizing the Disruptive Innovation Awards at the Tribeca Film Festival. The second she asked me to come with her I freaked. As the day came closer we got so pumped. Finally when the day came, we took the train into to city and waited around in the building for 3 hours with a little girl that we had met there. When it came closer to the time he was supposed to come, we went to wait near the press so we could take pictures. Finally Justin came. We got so excited, we started calling his name but all of the press people started to rush towards him and he just walked past us into the green room. Although we were disappointed, we were shaking because we had just seen THE JUSTIN BIEBER. We then went to sit and watch the awards. The whole time he was getting his award we were freaking. It took so much for me not to cry. When it was over we knew that he was going to go do press so we RAN to the press area and we saw him and freaked once again. When he walked out to the red carpet I screamed, “HI JUSTIN!” and he waved and said hi! For a good 30 minutes we took videos and pictures of Justin on the red carpet. All of a sudden we weren’t with the little girl any more and we look down the line of people and see her leaning in to hug Justin! Eliza and I sprinted over just in time to see him kiss her on the check. I was so happy for her, she was hysterical. Right before he was about to walk away we shouted his name and got a picture with him. He was about to go again and I asked if I could have a hug. The second we hugged, I felt a connection. I didn’t want to let go. It was one of those moments when you held on until the last second. After my Eliza hugged Justin we left the crowd and couldn’t believe what just happened. I couldn’t contain myself and I started to cry. It was SO EMBARRASSING. I’m so happy I was able to have this experience and I am so grateful that Justin stopped to take a picture and hug us. I think it was because we were the only fans inside the event. We even have a video that a press guys from Extra sent us! Now, we are finding pictures of us with Justin all over the internet! I am sooo happy this happened and I can’t wait for my next Bieber Experience -@ hrkxo Read more: My name is Hanna and I am 14. I never thought I would be writing…
We are very sorry, Jessica Sanchez . But your version of ” Bohemian Rhapsody ” was only the second best we’ve heard this week. That’s because the video of a father and his three adorable children has gone viral in which the family rocks out to this Queen hit as if they were characters in Wayne’s World . It’s apparently a morning tradition for the quartet, which makes its drive to school as enjoyable as human possible everyday. Sorry, other dads around the world, but this guy is setting the bar awfully high. Watch now: Father, Kids Sing “Bohemian Rhapsody”
Fox News is determined to prove the Mayans right. For reasons that defy comprehension – even more than how Gretchen Carlson still has a job – the network has invited two guests along with it for Saturday night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner: Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan. Moreover, they will be seated at the same table. Yes, readers. Prepare for the Apocalypse. Sources tell TMZ that Kim and Lindsay actually get along well, so don’t expect any fireworks at the event. But will Kardashian and Lohan actually meet President Obama?!? Will their photo op equate to this amazing one of a bar patron and Obama ? “No way. The President almost never mingles with the guests,” an insider says. Other stars, with actual talent, expected to attend on Saturday include: George Clooney, Reese Witherspoon, Viola Davis, Charlize Theron, Eva Longoria and Daniel Day-Lewis. [Photos: WENN.com]
