Bad Movies We Love: Twilight

I’m clinically unashamed most of the time, but today I come to you with a confession worthy of St. Augustine or at least Diane Keaton : Twilight may be the ultimate Bad Movie We Love. It is surely bad, as it looks and acts like the longest, moodiest Evanescence video of all time, but it’s also hard to resist. It’s neither pretentious nor overconfident. It’s silly. Bella Swan is hot for a shock-white ghoul with darting pupils and a social disorder. Celebrate.

Michael Jackson Biopic May Be in Works; Awesome Bookie Puts Johnny Depp Atop Casting Pool

Among the heap of speculative projects idling in the landfill otherwise known as Hollywood, a Michael Jackson biopic has long been one thought likeliest to be reclaimed. This week, in fact, comes word that the late pop icon’s estate is in discussions with Ivan Reitman’s Montecito Picture Company to nudge such a project forward. Not to be outdone, an Irish bookie with a demonstrated interest in the most outlandish cultural wagers imaginable has commenced casting speculation in an inspired — very inspired — fashion.

VIDEO: Why Not Cast Donald Glover as Michael Jackson?

Hot on the heels of the announcement that a Michael Jackson biopic may be in the works comes a video interview, over at Next Movie, in which Community star/rapper Donald Glover does the moonwalk and names the King of Pop as his dream role. Coincidence? Who cares? Give the gig to Childish Gambino, already!

DVD: 1970s British TV Classics Ain’t What They Used to Be

The timing certainly couldn’t be better for the new Upstairs Downstairs : Complete Series box (now available from Acorn Media). The landmark British series about an aristocratic family and the servants who feed and clean them celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, there’s a new reboot of the show premiering this Sunday on PBS, and the success of last year’s Downton Abbey , of which Upstairs is a direct predecessor, whetted viewers’ appetite to revisit the show. Whether or not Upstairs Downstairs actually lives up to its reputation, however, is another matter entirely.

Miley Cyrus Post-‘Hannah Montana’: What’s Next?

Series finale of ‘Hannah Montana’ airs this Sunday. By Jocelyn Vena Miley Cyrus Photo: Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images It’s hard to believe that after Sunday’s final episode of “Hannah Montana,” Miley Cyrus will officially leave her alter ego behind. After four seasons, 98 episodes, a full-length movie and a 3-D concert film, Cyrus will be hanging up her blond wig for good. As the show wraps up, it begs the question: What’s next for the teen queen? Well, Cyrus , 18, seems to be putting recent tabloid troubles behind her and concentrating on her very busy movie career. She has several flicks in the works, including “LOL,” in which she stars alongside Demi Moore and “Twilight” star Ashley Greene . “Miley is a phenomenon — she’s accomplished so much in the movie, TV and music worlds that it’s not surprising how much attention was attracted during filming,” co-star Greene said. “But we’re both professional and understand that we’re there to do our jobs. Work was our number-one priority, and everything else was background.” She’s also currently filming the action-comedy flick, “So Undercover,” in which she plays an FBI agent. “I’ve been actually doing all kinds of stuff. … I’ve been doing fighting, like learning how to box … mostly street fighting, so knowing how to, like, if someone comes up from behind you, being able to defend yourself,” she said about her role. “I have a trainer and I have bruises everywhere from kicking the bags. … And I’ve learned how to use guns, which was really scary.” Filming for “So Undercover” is well under way, and she’s been hanging out with co-star Kelly Osbourne . In addition to “So Undercover,” Miley’s set to work on the thriller “Wake,” and is rumored to be working on getting her supernatural romance “The Big Bang” adapted from a music video to the big screen. Movies aren’t the only thing Miley is working on these days. While she’s made it clear she wants to take a break from music to focus on her bustling film career, it’s rumored that a Miley-Nick Jonas reunion “double disk duet album” is in the works. Music producer Shakur Green, who has worked with Miley in the past, tweeted that he’s working on tracks with Miley and former beau, Nick Jonas. “Can’t release any additional information about the project,” he shared. “Other than it’s going to be one of the top albums of 2011.” Related Videos Miley Cyrus Says Farewell To Hannah Montana Related Photos Hannah Montana, America’s Sweetheart Miley Cyrus’ 18th Birthday Party Related Artists Miley Cyrus

Anti-‘Obamacare’ Congressman Doesn’t Understand How Health Insurance Works [Sigh]

New Maryland Republican Representative Andy Harris won his seat on a platform of resisting the expansion of “government-run or government-mandated insurance.” He also spent Monday demanding to know why he had to wait 28 days for his own government-run insurance. More
