Horrible Bosses was a film about three guys who have horrible bosses (such as Charlie Day’s boss, Jennifer Aniston, who keeps sexually harassing him), so they cook up a plan to kill them and ask a black guy (Jamie Foxx) how to do it. Obviously there’s so much rich mythology here that it needed a second film in order to be fully explored.

John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, the screenwriters behind New Line’s surprise workplace comedy hit [$35 mil budget; $210 mil worldwide gross] Horrible Bosses, have closed a deal to pen a sequel. It is expected that Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis will be back to star in the movie, and the studio is in early talks with helmer Seth Gordon to return to the director’s chair. [THR]

What’s the plot of this one, they have new bosses that are also horrible? Horribler Bosses?  Electric Bossaloo? Hey, maybe you guys are just terrible employees, ever thought of that? Charlie Day makes me laugh almost every time he opens his mouth, but this is pushing it. Where’s Day Man, or Little Green Ghouls: The Movie? “Horrible Bosses” doesn’t even sound like a real movie title, it sounds like the poorly-translated-into-Chinese version of a movie title.

At some point last week, Men’s Health magazine announced that its readers had voted Jennifer Aniston the “Sexiest Woman of All-Time,” and me and my Mila Kunis sock dolls were like, “WHAAAAAA?” But while that selection has left a lot of us pervs scratching our heads – I mean, have you seen Susan B. Anthony’s tits? – Men’s Health just gained a powerful ally in the world’s love affair with the queen of underachieving romantic comedies – Tim Tebow.

The quarterback of the Denver Broncos recently chatted with Steve Serby of the New York Post, and he opened up as Tebow the person, as opposed to Tebow the athlete. Among the things he pointed out: Jesus is his Lord and Savior, cracking his knuckles is his worst habit, and he responds to trash talk by saying, “Jesus loves you.” As for his entertainment and food choices:

Q: Favorite movie?
A: Braveheart.
Q: Favorite actor?
A: Will Smith.
Q: Favorite actress?
A: Jennifer Aniston.
Q: Favorite entertainer?
A: Rascal Flatts.
Q: Favorite meal?
A: Mom’s homemade tacos.

The Will Smith thing doesn’t surprise me at all, with the wholesome family image (despite a zillion divorce rumors) and I can see the Braveheart thing because it’s an awesome movie and athletes love the inspirational battle scenes. I just figured Passion of the Christ might have knocked Mel Gibson’s work down a few pegs.

The Aniston thing surprises me, though. I assumed he would have gone younger, more innocent. Perhaps Reese Witherspoon or Mandy Moore. But don’t be surprised now if Aniston starts showing up at Broncos games trying to find herself a new boyfriend. “What’s that, Brad? You adopted another baby? Well I’m dating a Pro Bowl quarterback,” or something batsh*t crazy like that.

Along with Eagleheart, Children’s Hospital, co-written and executive produced by Hot Wet American Summer director David Wain, is probably one of the funniest shows on TV that you aren’t watching. So you can imagine how excited I am that Wain has a movie coming out called Wanderlust, starring Paul Rudd, reuniting the team that gave us (among other things) this:

Are you watching the trailer already? You should be watching the trailer.

Forbes recently released their list of Hollywood’s ten highest-paid actresses and– AW GOD DAMMIT, KATHERINE HEIGL?! ARE YOU F*CKING KIDDING ME?!? (*kicks puppy*) Aaaanywhoo, Sarah Jessica Parker, everyone’s favorite punching bag (horse jokes in the comments in 3, 2…) landed in the top spot, tied with Angelina Jolie at $30 million.  Rounding out the list are some other actresses you probably don’t like and Meryl Streep, a national treasure. Bash Reese Witherspoon all you want, but if you badmouth Dame Streep I will fight you.

1. Angelina Jolie, $30 million
1. (tie) Sarah Jessica Parker, $30 million
2. Jennifer Aniston, $28 million
2. (tie) Reese Witherspoon, $28 million
3. Julia Roberts, $20 million
3. (tie) Kristen Stewart, $20 million
4. Katherine Heigl $19 million
5. Cameron Diaz, $18 million
6. Sandra Bullock, $15 million
7. Meryl Streep, $10 million

Parker hasn’t strayed far from her association with fashion-lover Carrie Bradshaw from the hit TV show Sex and the City. In 2010 she starred in the second Sex movie, which earned $290 million. She’s designing clothes with Halston and she has a line of best-selling fragrances, including NYC, which brought in $18 million in 2010.

That Kristen Stewart and Cameron Diaz make the list is obnoxious, but not as bad as Katherine Heigl. During the period Forbes examined to create their list, May 2010 to May 2011, Katherine Heigl made two movies, Killers, with Ashton Kutcher, which barely broke even, and Life As We Know It, with dynamic firebrand Josh Duhamel, which, surprisingly, made a decent amount of money. Those Rotten Tomatoes scores were 11% and 28%, respectively. I have to assume she made most of her money on Grey’s Anatomy residuals. Since that’s the show that introduced us to fecal transplants… I suppose the world does owe her a debt of gratitude. Not a $19 million debt, certainly, but… well, at least Kate Hudson didn’t make the list.

In the interests of full disclosure, I had a headline and screencap about Colin Farrell’s combover all set to go when I saw Jennifer Aniston in her underpants deepthroating a banana. Realizing I’m not allergic to cash money, I posted that instead. In any case, Warner Brothers just released the trailer for their July comedy Horrible Bosses — GEE, I WONDER WHAT THAT’S ABOUT! SQUIBBETY BLABBETY DOO!  It comes from King of Kong (and, uh.. Four Christmases…) director Seth Gordon, and stars Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis, and Jason Bateman as three guys plotting the murder of their horrible bosses, played by Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Aniston, and Colin Farrell’s combover.  I don’t know if there’s a contest in Hollywood to see who can come up with the most boring, linear premise, but I do enjoy the actors involved. Maybe not enough to deepthroat a banana, but they seem nice.
