Buzz Break: Whatever Works Poster Lives Up to Its Name
· Vulture premieres the poster for Woody Allen's upcoming Whatever Works, which literally looks like they pulled a paparazzi shot out of Bauer-Griffin and did a background erase. Why tout a sexy starlet like Evan Rachel Wood when you've got a Curb Your Ethusiasm outtake and Ed Begley Jr.'s name first in the credit block?
· Gossip Girl producers have finally cast the pivotal role of Serena and Dan's half-brother. The actor chosen is a white guy who looks like every other white guy on the show. OMG?
· Steven Soderbergh is going to start laying the crazy track for his 3-D musical Cleo by injecting an animated character to star opposite Brad Pitt in Moneyball.
· The Karate Kid remake currently features only one of its titular words.
· Nicole Kidman would rather buy a soft drink than the poor little girl from Slumdog Millionaire.

If the scientology makers of The Karate Kid set the film in China, have Jackie Chan (a fascist, BTW) teach the kid kung-fu, but do not change the title of to the Kung-fu Kid, Chinese people will be even more pissed off than usual.
Woody Allen directing Larry David who created the character of George played by Jason Alexander who was basically doing Woody Allen. We have arrived full circle and the end is NIGH!
It's gonna take me a minute to figure out that Kidman commercial.
