Paul Reubens

Penelope Cruz was the guest of honor at yet another party celebrating her Oscar nomination in LA yesterday. Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas hosted at their home out on their patio with guests that included Kate Hudson and Rosario Dawson. If Penelope ends up taking home the trophy come Oscar night, she'll have plenty of friends to thank in her acceptance speech.

Weeeeird. . . There's no title yet, and plot details are limited, but this movie news caught my eye today because it's a bizarre collection of people. Apparently, there's an indie movie in the works that:

1. . . . will be directed by Todd Solondz (Welcome to the Dollhouse, Happiness).
2. . . . will star Allison Janney, Charlotte Rampling, Paris Hilton and Paul Reubens (known to many as Pee-Wee Herman).
3. . . . is described as "a dramatic comedy about family against the backdrop of a war. The movie will take off on elements from the director's breakout Happiness, in a project producers are describing as a 'part-sequel, part-variation' on that film."

Any Todd Solondz fans out there? Think this could be kind of awesome in a twisted sort of way? Should Paris be in movies?

Again: Weeeeird.
