About That Time Courtney Love Saved Chris Rock From an Oscars-Related Fight

Maybe instead of soliciting advice from Judd Apatow , this year’s Academy Award co-host (and new Twitter user ) James Franco should be asking an actual former Oscar host for advice. Like Chris Rock, who in a new interview admitted that he almost got into a fight because of his stage material. Fortunately, Courtney Love was there to save him.

Which Glee Cast Members Have the Best Shot At Being Movie Stars?

With I Am Number Four unspooling at theaters around the country (and in IMAX !), Dianna Agron becomes the first Glee star to graduate from McKinley High School to the silver screen. Four isn’t Agron’s maiden voyage into the world of film — she had small roles in Burlesque and The Romantics last year — but it is the first high profile movie appearance from any Glee star since the show exploded.

Ahead — using nothing but common sense, speculation and bit of wishful thinking — Movieline counts down the ten Glee students most likely to succeed.

Narnia Producer, Novelist Perry Moore Dead at 39

Whoa: Perry Moore, who served as executive producer on the Chronicles of Narnia franchise and authored the benchmark gay teen superhero novel Hero , was found dead Thursday in his New York apartment building. He was 39. Sources say Moore suffered a drug overdose; at least two reports cite OxyContin, adding that no criminality is suspected. Moore was reportedly in the middle of writing a Hero sequel and had begun another young-adult series about superhero triplets. He was discovered by his partner, Hunter Hill, with whom he’d directed the 2008 indie feature Lake City and (with Spike Jonze) a documentary about Maurice Sendak. Quite a loss. RIP. [ THR ]
