Another day, another entry of my newest pop quiz, Twitter Me This! Here's a gander at what everyone in Hollywood is blabbing about today — can you match the tweet to the celeb?
Question 1 of 4
"I want to be the Jean Smart of my generation."
In Hollywood, sequels are always possible: Not only has Paramount Pictures given Mission Impossible IV the green light, its star Tom Cruise has also been confirmed to reprise his role as Ethan Hunt.
Cruise, along with JJ Abrams, will produce the movie, though Abrams won't be directing, as he did for Mission Impossible III. That job is still open but screenwriters have already been hired and the idea has been pitched by Cruise himself. Over the Summer, Abrams said that he and Cruise had a "really cool idea" for the fourth film.
This should be a blockbuster of epic proportions, since each movie in the Mission Impossible franchise has only gotten bigger and better, and Cruise definitely shines as an action star. Are you pumped for another chapter?
Valentine's Day is just around the corner, which means we're in the season of candy, flowers, and mushy movies. The star-studded
film homage to the holiday got me thinking about other couples I'd like to see in romantic comedies — namely, actors we've never seen paired together or faces that don't usually turn up in the genre. Check out my list and submit your own in my
movie lists community group!
It's a good day for entertainment! Besides the new DVDs today, I've got a few new music releases that should jolt your MP3 player to life.
It's electronic: Hot Chip's latest album, One Life Stand, is the fourth from the British electro-pop band, and though it's not quite as effervescent as 2008's Made in the Dark, there are plenty of crowd-pleasers. "Take It In" and title track "One Life Stand," are my favorites in particular, and the ones I'd cue up for a dance party for one. Less upbeat but just as great is the intense "I Feel Better."
Sugary sweet soundtrack: Before the Valentine's Day movie makes its debut in theaters Friday, its soundtrack bows today. By now you may have heard Taylor Swift's contribution, "Today Was a Fairytale" — the song is typically Swift, in that it's pretty schlocky, but it's also infectious and sweet. In the same vein is the Jewel song, "Stay Here Forever," which actually sounds like it could be a vehicle for Ms. Swift. It's not a comeback track for Jewel, sadly, but maybe it'll help her get her foot back in the pop door.
There are a couple more satisfying tracks on the disc, like the indie-fied, twee cover of I'm Into Something Good by The Bird and The Bee. And I tend to love Willie Nelson, so I'm a fan of his Sinatra-esque "On the Street Where You Live."
