NBC Picks Up Conan O'Brien Pilot

Conan O'Brien may no longer be hosting The Tonight Show for NBC, but the network has picked up an hourlong pilot from O'Brien's production company, Conaco.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Conan's untitled project, known as "Justice," follows an ex-Supreme Court justice who quits his job to start his own legal practice. John Eisendrath is listed as the writer an EP, and O'Brien, along with his longtime executive producer Jeff Ross and Conaco's David Kissinger are also expected to serve as executive producers.



Sam Worthington In Talks To Star In Dracula Year Zero

Avatar actor Sam Worthington is in negotiations to star in Dracula Year Zero for Universal Pictures, according to Variety.

The studio is keeping the plot under wraps, but story focuses on the origin of Dracula, "weaving vampire mythology with the true history of Prince Vlad the Impaler and depicting Dracula as a flawed hero in a tragic love story set in a dark age of magic and war."

With Avatar now the highest grossing movie in history, Sam is well on his way to becoming a huge star, so given the vampire trend in entertainment, it sounds like this could be a big hit!



George Lucas To Produce CGI Musical

Not much is known about the CGI-animated musical in preproduction at George Lucas’ Skywalker Ranch, but The Hollywood Reporter says that the project is an adventure movie that tells the story of America’s first black pilots, the Tuskegee Airmen. Plot details are top secret, but we were able to extract this tidbit - apparently the film features fairies and a wide range of music. Should be interesting!

Poor Betty! Er, I mean America Ferrera.

Not that we watch the show anymore, but ABC president Steve McPherson - along with the show's exec producer Silvio Horta - made the following announcement today:

"We've mutually come to the difficult decision to make this Ugly Betty's final season, and are announcing now as we want to allow the show ample time to write a satisfying conclusion. We are extremely proud of this groundbreaking series, and felt it was important to give the fans a proper farewell."

The award-winning series is currently in its fourth season. I guess this will give America ample time to make Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 3?

Ahhh ... we know why Leo keeps going back to Bar!

Rafaeli shows off her curves in a second season of Rampage clothing line ads. And check this out ... she was posing at Paris Hilton's former home!

Bar says of the new line: "Rampage’s spring collection is amazing. The flirty dresses, fabulous swimwear and great shorts are perfect for warm weather, parties and weekends. I can’t wait to wear all of the new styles!"

Hey, they pay her to say it!

I'd go out with Josh Duhamel When in Rome, when in Los Angeles, when anywhere!

The super-hottie is making the rounds promoting his latest rom-com flick, doing interviews on Good Morning America and later with Live with Regis and Kelly. Most surprising thing about this video? Josh seems so friendly! Not a ladies man or vacantly charming... but genuinely friendly! I'm impressed.

When news of an impending Brangelina split broke on Saturday, tabloids and blogs went wild trying to find every juicy bit of information to back up the story that Hollywood's golden couple was ending their romance.

However, one of the deets that looks like it may have been falsely reported was a legal document drafted up just days before the breakup rumors started.

NYDN is reporting that though Brangelina visited a high-profile attorney last week, they did so only to cover their assets.

A source tells NYDN, "They aren't married, so they need to protect their children and property in case there's a rift in the future ... People hear 'legal papers' and assume it means a divorce. But it could mean exactly the opposite. Either way, they're making sure to get their ducks in a row, which they'll need whether they split or stay together forever."

So what about skipping out on red carpet appearances as a couple? The source says, "There was a lot of talk when they didn't attend the Globes or the SAG awards this past weekend. But that's not entirely out of the ordinary for them. Although Inglourious Basterds was nominated, Brad wasn't up for anything individually, and neither was Angelina. Besides, they're Brangelina. They can do whatever they want."

Nothing ever really beats a tight white t-shirt on a Hollywood hunk, does it?

Up-and-coming actor Chris Pine - who played Captain Kirk in the Star Trek update last year - ran errands in rainy West Hollywood Tuesday afternoon. Next up is an action movie with Denzel Washington and director Tony Scott entitled Unstoppable and, of course, the sequel to Star Trek. Can you handle it???

The teaser for Claire Danes' new HBO film Temple Grandin has hit the web, and we're blown away by her portrayal of the noted autism advocate. Grandin is an animal behavior expert who has struggled with a form of high functioning autism over the course of her life, so playing her on screen must have been a challenge right up Claire's alley.

Think this HBO movie will get the same kind of reception Drew Barrymore's Grey Gardens got? After all, I bet Claire would love a few statuettes on her mantle!

The 20-year-old daughter of Bob Geldof is the face and body of the Miss Ultimo lingerie brand, and here's the photo shoot of the "Carousel collection" for spring and summer!

Er, raunchy and racy, yes, but aren't these clothes meant for teens?

Peaches says that the "underwear is flirty and fun, yet comfortable and it fits perfectly." Loves it or hates it? And how many of these pictures were Photoshopped? Yeah, I said it!
