FilmDistrict studios have picked up the rights to Katie Holmes' Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, and the horror flick is now set to hit theaters on August 12.
After Miramax was sold by Disney last year, the film was put on the back burner and the previously planned January release date was scrapped. The movie is about a couple who discover strange creatures living in the basement of an old home they're renovating, and Holmes stars opposite The King's Speech star Guy Pearce.
This is more good news for the actress -- after her miniseries The Kennedys was rejected by the History Channel last month, it was later picked up by ReelzChannel, with an April 2011 air date.

Out Magazine
Darren Criss is not gay, however he has no problem playing a homosexual character on Glee. The 24-year-old actor, who is gracing the cover of Out Magazine, had the following to say about his Glee role:
"I think it’s more empowering to everybody, including myself, if I’m articulate about identifying myself as a straight male playing a gay character. Ultimately, that’s more powerful for both communities."
Criss tells the mag that he grew up performing in local musicals in San Francisco. As for his upbringing, the hairy hottie reveals:
"I was staying out much later than most kids after shows, going to restaurants. It’s not like I was doing body shots off beautiful Castro boys. I was friends with older guys -- they were who I looked up to. It wasn’t until later that I put together that they were gay.
I feel like I’m sort of moonlighting on Glee.The coolest part is not that it’s a hit show -- that’s a bonus -- and, of course, that I have a job. But the real cool thing is I was inadvertently raised by the gay community."
See Darren rockin' some short shorts ... after the jump.

And Ava and Deacon were looking particularly snazzy! Deacon reminds us of Kingston more and more these days and Ava (or Mini-Reese) looks like a young Dakota Fanning! The four of them seem like such a perfectly happy family...
Here's Reese Witherspoon with fiance Jim Toth and her two kids attending church on Sunday together in Santa Monica.
Reese - who can be seen in Water for Elephants with Rob Pattinson this April - is engaged to Toth with no set wedding date. He's certainly getting along with her fam though... I think he and Deacon are nearly wearing the same outfit!

Charlie Sheen called in to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio this morning, and the 45-year-old actor complained that he's trying to get back to work, but CBS execs won't let him.
Though Sheen's recent troubles have him receiving in-home rehab treatment, he says he's ready to return to television, and he even attempted to get back onto the CBS set the other day. Sheen claims he banged on the studio's door, but production staffers weren't there to let him in, and when asked when production on the show would resume, he retorted that it would start in August of 2014.
Sheen was asked about the pep talk he gave the UCLA baseball team (telling the boys, "Don’t do crack, drink chocolate milk..."), and he told Patrick, "[There were] rumors that I've had problems with CRACK, so it just came out of me like poetry ... I said stay off the crack, and I still think that's pretty good advice, unless you can manage it socially, Dan. If you can manage it socially, then go for it, but not a lot of people can, you know?"
Patrick then asked Sheen if he could handle crack, to which he responded, "Yeah yeah, but that kind of blew up in my face. Like an exploding crack pipe." Say what!?
Sheen said that he was "100%" clean, but added, "I heal really quickly but I also unravel pretty quickly. So get me right now guys."

At last night's BAFTA awards, The King's Speech took home seven awards, including Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay, and now critics are predicting that the film has locked down all the top categories at the Oscars this month. The Social Network went home with the award for Best Director for David Fincher and Best Adapted Screenplay for Aaron Sorkin, and Inception earned a trio of honors, for Production Design, Best Sound and Special Visual Effects.
In other BAFTA news, Jessica Alba wasn't nominated for anything (and why would she be?), but we couldn't resist posting this red carpet shot of her looking lovely in cornflower blue. She's no Meryl Streep, but we can't stop staring at her picture perfect face and toned, tanned bod!

Tiger Woods will be fined for spitting during the Dubai Desert Classic over the weekend, according to the LA Times.
“Tournament director Mike Stewart has reviewed the incident and feels there has been a breach of the tour code of conduct and consequently Tiger Woods will be fined,†the European Tour said in a statement this morning.
Woods was on the 12th green, and after becoming frustrated with his lackluster performance, he spit on the golf course. Former tour professional turned commentator Ewen Murray said, "You look at his work ethics and he is a credit to the game and an inspiration to all of those who are trying to become professional golfers but there are some parts of him that are just arrogant and petulant. Somebody now has to come behind him and maybe putt over his spit. It does not get much lower than that."

Pink knows how to satisfy those pregnancy cravings, and at the same time, she's showing how much she cares for animals. Who knew she's a photographer at heart, too?
The 32-year-old rocker, wearing a panda hoodie from Spirit Hoods, enjoyed pickles while spending quality time on the beach in Malibu with her man Carey Hart. Nothing like a picnic in the sand!
How adorable are those panda ears? Speaking of Spirit Hoods, the pro wildlife non-profit organization donates a portion of the proceeds from their Product Blue hoodies to save Giant Pandas and other endangered species.
A mommy-to-be on a mission ... loves it!
See one of our favorite pics of the couple striking a pose ... after the jump.
