There's so much worth anticipating in Parker, director Taylor Hackford's adaptation of the famous literary thief created by author Donald Westlake. Honestly, though, if this sighting alone of Jason Statham on-set as the title character -- in full powder-blue suite and 10-gallon hat -- can't coax a down payment on viewing this upon release, then nothing will. (Oh -- and other pics feature some lady named Jennifer Lopez as well.) This and much more Buzz Break ahead.

The slimmed-down co-star of (and, if there's any justice to be found in the awards cosmos, eventual Oscar nominee for) Moneyball climbed the mound in Oakland on Sunday to throw out the first pitch prior to the A's-Tigers game. And the crowd... goes... wild! Seriously, these guys really dig Hill; see for yourself in the video after the jump, and stick around for more in today's Buzz Break.

Ryan Gosling may be a real street fight-stopping hero in man capris and the vulnerable getaway driver next door in this week's Drive, but a keen-eyed Movieline reader in Toronto sent in evidence of the one thing hotter than the Goss.

Try as she might up in Toronto, Madonna just can't shake the stink of Hydrangea-Gate. Despite a quasi mea culpa for her insensitivity to the flowers and their provider, a new video from the singer-filmmaker suggests that not only is she not remorseful, but she will also not hesitate to kill again. "It's a free country!" she "roars" in the silent short scored to the Godfather II theme. "So f**k you I like roses!!" Classy. Click ahead for the video and more Buzz Break.

Not to get down on a bunch of kids, but check out the string parts in this video of a child mariachi ensemble currently making the Web rounds, and tell me this isn't custom-made for some kind of Shining-esque psychological thriller. Or maybe a Radiohead album. And then there's a trumpet! All it's missing is Shia LaBeouf behind the camera. Rock out, freak out and read on for more Buzz Break.

Back to the Future II director/producer Frank Marshall recently tweeted, "Something big is coming soon. Can't say anything yet. No one should know too much about their own destiny. #BTTF." Well, this package from Dr. Emmett L. Brown helps explain: It's Nike's upcoming Air Mag shoe, a replica of Marty McFly's kicks from the first BTTF sequel, that boast self-lacing technology. Put on yer incredulous Crispin Glover bug eyes, because this is pretty wild! More in Buzz Break after the jump.

I'll never forget Sean Stone as the young, freckle-faced Jim Morrison through whom the soul of the bloody dead roadside Indian passed in his father Oliver Stone's epic The Doors. But now Stone fils is all grown up and making sketchily conceived films of his own for his dad to appear in. Click through to check out the triple Oscar-winner's cameo in the trailer for Stone's narrative feature debut Graystone (no pun intended... I think?), and stick around for more Buzz Break.

The new international poster of Tower Heist positions Brett Ratner's vindictive ensemble atop a skyscraper where they pose like cool TJ Maxx models. Confession: I can't wait to see this movie (and, particularly, Alan Alda's bastardly turn in it), and I think it'll be the breakout hit of November. I apologize, Albert Nobbs!

Some people pay tribute to Up with replica houses, some people pay tribute with morbidly awesome parallel-universe posters for the film's imagined sequel. Or remake. Or the movie we really wanted. Read on to check it out and for the rest of your pre-holiday Buzz Break.

· Club Silencio, the long-awaited Paris disco designed by renaissance man David Lynch, has opened its doors. The Guardian got a tour and a few snapshots, while Lynch told L'Express: "I have the feeling that I have coaxed out some of the atmosphere and the characters from my films, and even from my music." Which I guess makes the toilet... Dune? I'm so confused. Click through, take a look and stick around for your Thursday Buzz Break.

It appears Steven Soderbergh has taken a break from casting calendar-worthy leading men in his stripper drama Magic Mike and is focusing on some pin-up women.
