· Sorry, guys: Anne Hathaway is officially engaged to marry her boyfriend of three years, Adam Shulman. The groom is "an actor who appeared on one season of the NBC series American Dreams, is also a jewelry designer." Great! As long as he doesn't say he's designs jewelry for the Vatican. [THR]
· "Do you know that at the young age of 11 you had more courage than all the adults who let you down? All of the ones who didn't go to the proper authorities, all of the ones who were worried about their careers, reputations, or livelihoods. All of the ones who didn't want to get involved. Or even the ones who tried to convince your mother not to fight. You are stronger than them all! I wonder what they would have done if it were their own child." Stop what you're doing and read the best thing Tyler Perry has written since The Family That Preys. [Newsweek]

· "Michael Chiklis is teaming with former The Shield co-star Forest Whitaker for Pawn, an independent crime film centered around a hostage situation that has gone terribly wrong. Also starring in the film will be Common (Hell On Wheels), and Ray Liotta." That is all. [Deadline]
· You know why I love Ben Foster? This is why I love Ben Foster: "I don't know. I don't know. I'm dying for a musical comedy right about now!" Somebody please, please make this happen. [The Film Experience]
