Gwyneth Paltrow and Cee Lo Might Crash SNL

Just days after Cee Lo revealed that he would gladly team up with Gwyneth Paltrow, despite her work covering “F*ck You” for Glee , the Country Strong star says she might appear with the Grammy-nominated singer on this weekend’s episode of Saturday Night Live . “We’re sort of emailing each other, we don’t know where that’s gonna go,” said Paltrow. “But I am such a big fan of Cee Lo, he is so gorgeous and talented and amazing.” Whatever that means. For reference, Jim Carrey is hosting this weekend with musical guest The Black Keys. Stay (unfortunately) tuned. [ NYP ]

Wong Kar Wai vs. Terrence Malick: Who’s Got the More Inscrutable Trailer?

Like a phoenix rising from the stagnant pre-New Year’s Eve cesspool of news, here comes the teaser for the new Wong Kar Wai martial arts film The Grandmasters , with Tony Leung kicking and punching his way through…what’s that?
