Fox is taking the genre to a new level (down or up, you decide) with Someone's Gotta Go, an in-the-works show that will profile money-troubled companies with about 20 or less employees. The gist: One employee will be laid-off, and after viewing personal information like salaries Read more
I'm used to seeing a fair amount of bizarre TV news, but this story actually made my jaw drop: Fox is turning layoffs into a reality show called Someone's Gotta Go. The idea behind the show, which could be on the air as soon as Summer, is that employees of small companies will gather to decide which of them should be fired. "That person will likely receive a small severance," Variety writes, Read more

Cameron Diaz, Brooklyn Decker, Anna Kendrick, and Elizabeth Banks are among the famous ladies who strapped on fake baby bumps to portray different kinds of pregnant women, and Read more
Michael Fassbender is hot and shirtless on this week's edition of The Hollywood Reporter. There was a lot of ground for Michael to cover with the publication, including his amazing 2011, full frontal nudity in Shame, and upcoming Steven Soderbergh movie Haywire. Shame has gotten Michael noticed this award season, and after getting a nod in the best actor category at the Golden Globes, odds are Read more
Those of you who've tuned into the Food Network at all in recent days might have heard that the last season of The Next Iron Chef: Super Chefs has just wrapped, and a new champion has emerged victorious out of the star-studded (and highly competitive) lineup. That would be Geoffrey Zakarian, guest judge of Food Network's Chopped and chef and owner of The National and The Lambs Club in New York Read more
Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek may be the focus of this week's animated release, Puss in Boots, but their feline characters spend much of the movie being upstaged by an egg. It's because that egg is Zach Galifianakis — the comedian voices Humpty Dumpty in the Shrek spin-off. I caught up with Galifianakis recently to talk about the great experience he had working on the film, why it made him Read more
Jessica Chastain is a fresh face in Hollywood, but she's already worked with the likes of Helen Mirren, Ben Affleck, and, in The Tree of Life, Brad Pitt. Her and Brad's film, which opens Friday, just won the Palm d'Or award at the Cannes Film Festival. We chatted with Jessica just before The Tree of Life's LA premiere yesterday. Jessica clearly likes to take risks in her life and work — in Read more
