Now that Summit Entertainment has tracked down (and publicly blasted) that troublesome Breaking Dawn pirate, the studio can get back to promoting The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1, due in theaters this November 18. And what better way to build buzz about Bill Condon's next installment of the popular vampire series than to have its stars talk about their eagerly-anticipated sex scene?
· Still not convinced that Jason Sudeikis, Tyler Labine and the cast members of A Good Old Fashioned Orgy will go all the way in their Labor Day sex comedy? Doubt no more! Samuel Goldwyn Films has just released a video that proves Orgy's cast will swing in all directions including shirtless bro on bro.

On the heels of that very-funny Funny or Die video featuring Paul Rudd and Harvey Weinstein discussing marketing strategies for Our Idiot Brother, comes Rudd revealing his secret shame on the cover of the latest edition of The Hollywood Reporter. Unlike some other celebs, however, his addiction is slightly less scandalous; like millions of Americans -- and other Hollywood stars like Ashton Kutcher -- Rudd plays fantasy football. "It's just so super nerdy. It sucks," the Our Idiot Brother star told the trade magazine. "I wish I didn't like it as much as I do. It's a sickness."
The Internet had the time of its life bashing plans for a new Dirty Dancing when Lionsgate announced it would remake the '80s classic earlier this week. Perhaps that teeth-gnashing was slightly premature; according to director Kenny Ortega, Dirty Dancing is likely to stay in the corner for quite a while before heading to theaters.
"The first woman I ran into, one of the PAs, I think, said, 'You can't take pictures here.' It was on the sidewalk and I said, 'I know my rights; I'm on a public sidewalk,'" paparazzo Jared Wickerham told Moviefone about the process behind the now-famous photos he snapped on the set of The Dark Knight Rises. "So she went up to one of the security guards and came back and just decided to stand in front of me. Since I shoot sports, I had a nice, long lens, so I just took a few steps back and shot around her." [Moviefone]
Get out your grain of salt and join me this morning over at IMDB, where the poster-challenged, release-date-addled Nicolas Cage/Nicole Kidman thriller Trespass has doubled its positive viewer response literally overnight.
Also in this Thursday edition of The Broadsheet: Mark Wahlberg could pick up Two Guns... there's actually a congressman who thinks Kathryn Bigelow got classified information for her Osama bin Laden film... Morgan Freeman, outcast magician... and more ahead.
Almost all of the original American Pie gang is back for American Reunion -- even MILF Guy Number 2 himself, John Cho -- but producer Craig Perry admits it took a while for some of the cast to get over what the series had become: "As much as you say that the people maybe wanted to put that behind them, age and distance have made them realize that it's their legacy, and you can either disavow it or embrace it and be happy," he tells Box Office Magazine. However, Perry promises, Stifler will be more of a human being this time around. Wait a minute -- Stifler, the buffoon who ingests all manner of disgusting crap accidentally for our entertainment, a fully-fleshed out character? What fun is that? [Box Office Magazine]
While most diehard Dirty Dancing fans still haven't warmed to the idea of Lionsgate remaking the Patrick Swayze classic (even if original choreographer Kenny Ortega will be directing), Jennifer Grey is already embracing the project. Click through to see what Baby herself has to say about the reboot.
Congrats to Eddie Murphy, who just picked up voicing duties in the live action/animated movie Hong Kong Phooey, the Hanna-Barbera cartoon that only produced 16 episodes but forever validated the legitimacy of dog custodians and their mastery of martial arts. Scatman Crothers provided the original voice of "the number one super guy," but the Shrek/Mulan firebrand will make a worthy substitute. Does this mean we should anticipate more Hanna-Barbera live-action/animation takes in the future? Here are the five best candidates for that treatment.
More upcoming happenings for you New Yorkers: The Museum of Modern Art announced today that it will host a complete retrospective of the films of Roman Polanski, including everything from early student work from the 1950s through his groundbreaking thrillers of the '60s and '70s, his eventual Oscar darling The Pianist (which star Adrien Brody will introduce on opening night, Sept. 7) and beyond. The only movie not included will instead debut across town when Carnage receives its North American premiere as the New York Film Festival's opening selection. Good timing, right? Read on for the full release.
If you've seen Niels Arden Oplev's 2009 Swedish adaptation of Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, you already have faces attached to the cast of characters in the bestselling trilogy-starter. So Sony's smart to roll out 18 character profiles introducing you to the new Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara, managing to look simultaneously different and similar to Noomi Rapace), Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig in scruffy journalist-wear) and their fellow players in David Fincher's December English-language remake.
Just as you might have heard of a little comedy coming out this weekend called 30 Minutes or Less, you might also have heard of its leading man: Jesse Eisenberg -- recent Oscar nominee, Movieline hero, and, this Friday, a guest of the Apple Store SoHo, where we'll be talking about the young actor's latest project (and plenty more). Save the date!
Your mind has likely been blown by the sheer number of stars featured in Garry Marshall's New Year's Eve trailer -- including (deep breath) Robert De Niro, Ashton Kutcher, Michelle Pfeiffer, Hilary Swank, Lea Michele, Abigail Breslin, Sofia Vergara, Jessica Biel, Sarah Jessica Parker, Katherine Heigl, Zac Efron, Josh Duhamel, Jon Bon Jovi, Seth Meyers, Til Schweiger, and Chris "Ludacris" Bridges. But how about a more intimate glimpse at the holiday-themed ensemble rom-com? Warner Bros. has the remedy for that in the form of the film's first official image. Rock on, Lea Michele and Bon Jovi!
TMZ reports that Kiowa Gordon, the 21-year-old actor who plays Quileute tribe member (and Jacob BFF) Embry Call in New Moon, Eclipse, and the Breaking Dawn chapters of the Twilight Saga, has been arrested in Tempe, Ariz., "for an active warrant stemming from a drug paraphernalia possession arrest in 2010" when he was busted for having a marijuana pipe and drinking a Four Loko while underage. Tsk, tsk young shapeshifter! The Wolf Pack (and fellow Mormon Stephenie Meyer, who recruited Gordon to the franchise from her own church group) should be none too pleased... [TMZ]
