hill, tatum head to 21 jump street

gawker calls it "never been kissed with guns." sounds about right- and good- to me. check out jonah hill and channing tatum in the trailer for the new version of 21 jump street. rumor is there's a johnny depp cameo (he starred in '80s series that inspired the film) in the film's final cut.

hilarious

tim gunn does pre-school. "i think this is refrigerator material."

the miley cyrus show!

it looks like saturday night live may have found its newest breakout star. vanessa bayer joined the weekend comedy staple this year as a featured player, but it won't be long before she's part of the main cast with sketches like this. bayer broke out one of the best miley cyrus impersonations in a "the miley cyrus show" sketch on last night's episode, hosted by bryan cranston. cranston was barely featured in his sketches, which gave the snl cast more time to shine. bayer's "miley cyrus show" fills the void left by the departure of amy poehler and "the dakota fanning show," while adding some more laughs. check out the sketch above, featuring cranston as billy ray cyrus paul brittain, another new cast member, as johnny depp.

miley: beyond disney

yesterday, access hollywood premiered the trailer for miley cyrus's first movie outside the disney name, nicholas sparks' the last song. while the movie was made under one of disney's brands (touchstone), it's definitely the most adult work miley has done. apparently, she wanted her own a walk to remember, mandy moore's breakout acting role, which led to nicholas sparks writing the book and the subsequent adaptation. miley got the chance to name her character and chose "ronnie," after her grandpa ron. sparks made ronnie short for veronica to make the name not such a bizarre. while the trailer features miley singing "i look at you," the closing credits song for the film, her character doesn't sing at all in the movie. instead, ronnie is a piano prodigy. check out the clip above and the movie in theaters this april.

people's sexiest man

like every year around this time, people magazine crowns their "sexiest man alive." johnny depp took the title this year, the second time this decade. it was quite the shocker as many people were expecting one of the other two men featured on the cover - robert pattinson or ryan reynolds - to gain the top spot. what do you think of depp being named the sexiest man alive? usually, the man who takes the crown has a big project coming out and is at the height of his career. depp is kind of waning right now, with no projects lined up other than tim burton's alice in wonderland out next year so he seems somewhat of an odd choice.

and i thought where the wild things are looked creepy...

the first official trailer for tim burton's take on the disney classic alice in wonderland has just hit the internets and let's just say this is a "what the eff?" moment. burton is well known for his "darker" take on traditional tales, but this just looks plain creepy. if i were a child - based solely on this preview - i don't think i'd be able to sleep for days. johnny depp (burton's muse for some odd reason) looks completely crazy as the mad hatter - which i guess in a way is fitting - but shouldn't the mad hatter provide comic relief? not induce nightmares? i don't see one joke coming out of this movie. hopefully more previews will come out between now and march that might change my mind, but i'm unsure. not even anne hathaway's involvement is a big enough draw to torture myself. check out the wacky wonderland trailer above.
