Based on the Nicholas Sparks novel, is the trailer for The Last Song, starring Miley Cyrus as a rebellious teenager who has to spend the summer with her estranged father, a concert pianist played by Greg Kinnear. Or as I like to call it, A Wank to Remember.
The 12 years since Wings went off the year have been like a bad dream full of emptiness and pain. But finally, according to Variety, the cast is reuniting to bring the story of the wacky Hackett Brothers to the big screen! Hold on, I’m reading something…
Disney has acquired screen rights to the young adult novel “Wings” and will develop the bestselling Aprilynne Pike title as a star vehicle for Miley Cyrus. Pic will be developed for Cyrus to play Laurel, a 15-year-old who grows up sheltered and home-schooled in a small town. Adjusting to a big high school is difficult, and her suspicion that she’s not like the other kids becomes a reality when she sprouts a pair of wings and learns that she’s a fairy. Published in May, the novel is the first of a planned four-book series. [Variety]
Aw, crap. Another false alarm. Maybe you’ll eat next month, Steven Weber. Also: I always wonder if the fact that all redneck chicks dye their hair blonde now was influenced by Disney’s lazy ass plot devices. Ten bucks says this movie will start with Miley Cyrus will be getting pushed around in the cafeteria, then they’ll throw a blonde wig on her, and Holy sh*t, she’s a fairy princess!
PS: “Aprilynne”? F-ck off.
Cut your GD hair! And pull up your GD pants!! And stop waxing your GD eyebrows!!! (*aneurysm*)
WB reaped the rewards of having the balls to release a movie we’ve all already seen this week, as Zac Efron’s 17 Again topped the box office with $24 million. I thought it’d be a Freaky Friday before a body-swap comedy topped the box office again, but you know what they say: Like Father Like Son. Wait, did that last sentence make sense? Or Vice Versa?
Elsewhere, Crowe/Affleck joint State of Play locked up number two, Hannah Montana dropped to four, Crank High Voltage debuted a disappointing sixth with a take four million less than the original, I Love You, Man continued to earn in the ninth spot in its fifth week out, and Dragonball is a certified bomb, dropping out of the top ten in only its second week. It looked so brilliant, I just don’t understand it.
Overall, revenue was up 17% and attendance up 16% over last year, despite the supposedly weak economy. Thanks, Zac Efron, Miley Cyrus, and Vin Diesel! I guess it’s true what they say: crap rules everything around me, dolla dolla bill, y’all. (full top ten after the jump):
“Cat Flushing a Toilet” is the new “Hamster on a Piano“. Thanks to Matt at WG for finding that one.

Levi Johnston’s tax preparation doodles. It’s funny because he swears. [HolyTaco]
Quentin Tarantino will be on American Idol. Kind of non-news since this isn’t the first time, but still worth pointing out. [ThePlaylist]
Bad ideas in Tax Write Offs. Hey, screw you, Poindexter, these anal beads are a work expense. [Atom]
A Chat With Ron Perlman. Number one question: “Wow. So, uh, that’s your face, huh?” [BullzEye]
Celebrities who’ve been homeless. Busey surprisingly isn’t on there. Though he learned some of his best rants from hoboes, he’s never been one. [MeettheFamous]
Jamie Foxx slams Miley Cyrus. Hey, remember when we gave that guy an Oscar? That was funny. [DailyFill]
And in case you missed it this morning, I thought the story about When LARPing Goes Wrong was pretty awesome.
Haha, hi, kids! Let’s pretend this isn’t super weird!
Nickelodeon’s annual festival of good-clean-fun porno and pretending kids have a say in what entertainment gets fed to them happened last night. As you can imagine, it was the usual mix of who’s that?, I hate them!, and why is Will Ferrell embarrassing himself like this? Anyway, this creepy ode to pandering and borderline child porn seriously skeeves me out, so I’m just gonna post the winners, a few pics, and a video for your perusal while I go take a shower. (Think I’m overreacting? I dare you to watch until the 2:27 mark of the video after the jump where Marlon Wayans asks Miley Cyrus if she’s wearing a thong and not be weirded out).
