Alan Blows His Trumpet For Pam's Arrival
What a way to enter the country! Pamela Anderson flew into Heathrow airport yesterday to be greeted exuberantly by those lovable Sunday Night Project presenters Alan Carr and Justin Lee Collins. JLC had a red carpet rolled out for her arrival, and Alan played his trumpet for the visiting blonde – even managing to get her to touch his horn at one point...
Pop Preview: Superhero Movie
Last night I went to see a press screening of Superhero Movie, from the stable of Airplane!, The Naked Gun and the Scary Movie series.
I didn't have high hopes for this film, as spoof movies have been getting progressively worse over the past few years (Meet The Spartans anyone?), but I was actually pleasantly surprised.
It doesn't start well – in fact the first fifteen minutes are filled with bad jokes – but as I was watching I remembered that the film is certified 12A – and I think younger teens will get a good few kicks out of those minutes.
Pop Poll: Superhero Movie – Funny Or Lame?
I have to say I'm pretty wary of any film with "movie" at the end of it, and so I am approaching the idea of Superhero Movie (out June 6 in the UK) with trepidation.
This one is from David Zucker and features Leslie Nielsen in a large role which gave me hopes it might hark back to The Naked Gun golden days... it also seems to be playing to a younger audience than the "Scary" movies – it has a 12A certificate in the UK and stars Drake Bell who's best known from Nickelodeon series Drake & Josh (alongside The Wackness's Josh Peck) as well as his enjoyably McFly-esque albums.

Weekend Box Office: 21 Wins the Pot
Well, it looks like 21, the film about MIT students who take Vegas by storm, was a safe bet as it easily won the top spot at the box office. However, the overall weekend box office total was down 17 percent compared to last year, Variety reports. 21 earned an estimated $23 million, beating Horton Hears a Who and firmly establishing Jim Sturgess as a viable leading man.
Another Day, Another Tom Cruise Spoof
People won't quit with the Tom Cruise impersonations. A couple months back, a vid was released of Tommy boy having an on-camera discussion with heck-knows-who (the mirror?) about Scientology, being "in" or "out," and poof-spik-shoo! The dude below is a dead ringer for Tom and he's done his homework.

Christian Shows Off His Size and Smile
Christian Bale looked chipper Thursday as he grabbed coffees and snacks from a Starbucks in LA. He seems to be getting back to a healthier size after losing lots of weight for The Fighter last Spring, so all those coffee drinks must be doing the trick. Christian has even more work to do before getting back into superhero shape, with production of the next Batman movie scheduled to start in the next year.
Do, Dump, or Marry? Spike Jonze
Director, skateboarder and all-around Gen X superhero Spike Jonze was told that turning the beloved children's book Where the Wild Things Are into a movie couldn't be done without serious artistic compromises. Well, not only did he prove his naysayers wrong, his movie was number one at the box office over the weekend!
This iconoclast has been doing his own thing for a while, though, starting out as an untrained videographer for skateboarders, moving on to direct cool videos for bands like The Beastie Boys, and following up on Being John Malkovich and Adaptation with a filmic ballad for the latch-key generation.
