"like jasmine and aladdin?" "yes, sweetie. but with cocktails."

sex and the city 2 is headed to the big screen in just over a month and here's your first look at the star studded sequel. the nyc ladies are back for what looks to be a little more fun than they had the last time they popped up in theaters. the second installment of the franchise (there's a good chance there will be at least one more movie - they have to knock them out before it turns into a relaunch of the golden girls) takes place two years after the events of the first flick. everyone seems to be happier than ever, but appearances can be deceiving right? check out the trailer above and get ready for the film to hit a theater near you may 28th. this time, the cast includes appearances by liza minelli, miley cyrus, penelope cruz and john corbett, who reprises his role as aiden.

jimmy fallon is the new kate gosselin?

if you're not watching dancing with the stars this season, you're missing out. kate gosselin is bringing the lol's with her beyond awkward dancing and jimmy fallon took it upon himself to spoof the mom of 8 last night on his late night show. check it out above.

your new favorite movie

the trailer for what is sure to be one of this summer's biggest hits, dinner for schmucks, hit the internets today. the film stars paul rudd and steve carrell, two actors who have always had success at the box office together. check out the trailer above. schmucks is based on a british film with the same concept: to get a promotion, you have to bring the biggest dork to an office dinner party. sounds simple enough right? well, maybe not so much. comedy "it" guy zach galifinakis also costars.

book review: chelsea chelsea bang bang

this is the first time i've ever really done a book review on my blog, but i figured it was appropriate. i was flying back to school today (yep, spring break's over and it's back to too much work for me) and realized i didn't have a book packed to read - i wasn't interested in my school work at 9:30 in the morning. luckily the airport had a borders (i know that's not really lucky - more so normal - but run with it) and i knew what book i wanted. that book would be chelsea handler's latest offering, chelsea chelsea bang bang. i've read the late night comedian's two prior essay collections (my horizontal life and are you there vodka? it's me chelsea) so i knew i'd be up for this one. they're pretty quick reads - i was done with it by the time i got to my apartment at school - and super funny (duh). the only problem with them is that you look like a complete idiot giggling to yourself while reading. this is the first book to come out from chelsea since her talk show really took off, so a lot of the characters were a lore more familiar to me because i've seen them on tv. you don't have to imagine what they look like because you know. plus, this book includes pictures and who doesn't love pictures? this is also the first of handler's books to use her siblings real names. usually they're slightly tweaked, but apparently her sibs are now ok with people knowing who they are. it's actually part of the book's storyline. i definitely recommend chelsea chelsea bang bang, but forewarn you that it's a lot less about her promiscuous lifestyle (like its predecessors) and much more about the crazy people in her life. that's probably because handler was in a relationship with comcast boss ted harbert at the time. the duo have since split up, but their relationship provides plenty of lol's - i really shouldn't use that acronym according to chelsea, but oh well - and a good escape from the stress of the week ahead. check it out.

tina fey: dream woman?

i love tina fey. the former-snl funnywoman has teamed up with fellow must-see-tv-er michael scott (real name steve carell) for the sure to be hilarious date night, coming out next friday. i cannot wait to see this movie. i've been talking about it for a long, long, long time. like since they first announced it was being made. the cast also includes leighton meester, james franco, mark wahlberg and mila kunis. not too shabby, right? in preparation for the flick's release, tina and steve carell sat down to shoot two spots for cinemax...and hilarity ensues. check them out above and the movie in theaters april 9th. oh, and tina will be hosting snl the following night.

sharpay evans is back!

it's been almost two years since high school musical 3 hit the big screen. those two years have come and gone without the much hyped fourth installment of the series ever coming to out tvs. now we can all rest easy. a fourth hsm movie is set to go into production this summer and - yay - it will not be the now scrapped west side story retelling. instead, the fourth flick in the franchise will be a spin-off vehicle for sharpay, the character ashley tisdale made famous. the tiz has signed on to star and produce broadway bound. bb will follow ashley's character as she leaves east high behind (i'm guessing she'll be graduating college and, therefore, her assistant director position at her high school?) for the big white way. so far no other names are attached to the project, but i'm sure disney will be able to throw one or two of their current disney channel darlings into the mix. broadway bound will premiere sometime in 2011. 2010 is shaping up to be a busy year for the tiz, with production on her (possible) new cw show, hellcats, going on right now. she recently dyed her hair brown for that role, so it will be interesting to see what color hair sharpay will be rocking come next year.

christina aguilera is "not [herself] tonight"

the every changing pop diva has released her latest single, "not myself tonight," and it doesn't disappoint. if you're a christina fan, then you know new music from her means a new genre - she never does the same thing twice. remember the "dirty" years? yeah. well, actually, "not myself tonight" is kind of reminiscent of that time. add in sophistication of x-tina's back to basics album, and you get bionic - due out later this year. it's very much britney-meets-gaga and i can't stop listening.

lindsay lohan makes music?

amidst rumors of spiraling out of control and being this close to being put on a 5150 psychiatric hold, new music has leaked from hollywood's "everybody loves to hate me" starlet lindsay lohan. "stuck" is the first new some to come out of the former disney star's camp since 2008's "bossy." no word on whether or not "stuck" is an official single or just a leak, but it could help to put her back on the talent map. check out the song above.

while i have faith in the song, i don't know that i have faith in the star's mental health. a lot of talk is going around that professionals are worried for lindsay. her erratic behavior - like falling down and wearing massive amounts of powder on her feet - just don't scream "stable," in any sense of the word.

what the hell is wrong with the once promising actress? she needs to get her act together. and quick. my suggestion? move away from la into the middle of the country for a year and get out of the party scene. you can only use the "she's young, give her a break" excuse (ahem, dina lohan) so many times before it gets annoying (see: paris hilton).

the big c looks precious

over the past 2 years, showtimes has been able to steal the title of "best place for cable tv" from hbo. the latest series coming to the network, the big c, looks like it will be just as good as current series nurse jackie and united states of tara. c stars laura linney as a suburban high school teacher and mother balancing her life as it all starts to fall apart when she's diagnosed with cancer. while it sounds dark, i think it will be pretty funny. check out the trailer for the show - which will be added to the original series line-up come august - above. the series will feature hollywood's latest it girl, gabourey sidibe, in a recurring role as linney's biggest (no pun intended) obstacle in the classroom.

the end of an era

the hills are no longer alive. the show that corrupted a generation is entering its final season starting next month. after original star lauren conrad departed the "reality" show, its ratings dropped and no one was interested. amidst rumors of kristin cavallari's drug abuse, spencer pratt leaving the show and heidi montag wanting to launch an acting "career" - she's reportedly writing a screenplay about boobs that can save the world, with a part specifically written for doll parton - it's no surprise that the show would come to an end. it's run it's course. technically, it's run it a couple times. no word on whether or not lc will be back for a "surprise" appearance in the finale, but chances are good. the first episode will feature heidi revealing her new franken body to her mom in colorado. show producers say its touching and moving. special. i don't care.

real housewives: a change is a coming

since losing project runway last year, bravo has thrown all their weight behind the real housewives franchise. what started as just one show has now become a 4 show franchise with 2 new series set to launch this year. while the washington, d.c. cast is still under wraps (minus the white house crashing couple), we now know who will be causing drama in beverly hills. this cast goes back to the original (and by original i mean the oc) formula of 5 ladies. so who are these ladies? well, when i saw the list i recognized 4 out of 5 names to some degree - they are kim and kyle richards, the sisters of hilton matriarch kathy (they're the 3 in the picture above); adrienne maloof-nasiff, the sister of the men who own the palms in vegas and the sacramento kings basketball team and wife to dr. paul nasiff of dr. 90210 fame; camille grammer, the wife of frasier star kelsey; and lisa vanderpump-todd, who apparently owns restaurants. can you tell the one i didn't know? bravo hasn't told us when the beverly hills season will premiere, but my guess is sometime this summer - at the end of either new jersey or atlanta's new seasons. speaking of atlanta, that cast may be facing a shake-up sometime soon. arguably the most popular of the franchise, the real housewives of atlanta may be losing the second of its original stars. lisa wu-hartwell will reportedly be leaving the series sometime during its upcoming season. while lisa will appear in some episodes this summer, she will be phased out in order to introduce new player phaedra parks, a high powered attorney in the atl. wu-hartwell isn't being forced out - like season one star deshawn snow who wasn't invited back after being labeled boring - her leave is more circumstantial: she doesn't live in atlanta anymore. lisa and her husband, former nfl star ed, moved some 40 minutes outside of the city, making it hard to plan the logistics of filming the show. bravo hasn't made an official announcement about the replacement, but that's probably because they want to save the drama for the show. when cast members have left the other real housewives brands, it's almost always done on screen. i guess all i can say is stay tuned.
