Holy Moly, y’all! Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Summit Entertainment, the folks that produced Twilight and will be producing the subsequent sequel movies, has announced that New Moon is now tentatively scheduled for a November 2009 release — BE WARNED … the report below contains MANY SPOILERS about the plot of New Moon and should prolly be avoided by those of you who have yet to read the book and want to remain unspoiled:

Summit Entertainment has tentatively slated Nov. 20, 2009, as the release date for New Moon, the Twilight sequel, which means any director who signs on to replace Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke has to be in Vancouver by Dec. 15 to begin 12 weeks of preproduction before a mid-March start date. Reports have speculated that Hardwicke was fired for being difficult on set, but sources close to her suggest Summit’s aggressive production schedule turned her off. “She’d love to do the sequel if she could do it better than Twilight,” says one. “It ­became clear that Summit didn’t have those same priorities.” Indeed, at press time the second movie appeared to have ­little more than a rough first-draft working script. As Summit’s production president Erik Feig told EW during Twilight’s ­record-busting first weekend, “There is that first…script. All the finesse that turns a screenplay into a movie hasn’t ­happened yet.” Two weeks later, Summit is saying it’s happy with screenwriter ­Melissa Rosenberg’s progress. Another of Hardwicke’s primary concerns was that hunky vampire Edward remains MIA throughout New Moon’s middle portion. In her own opening-weekend interview, she told EW, “You have to get the chemistry as strong ­between Jacob and Bella as it was between Bella and Edward. You also have to do ­some­thing with that arc: She’s in love with somebody, he disappears, she falls in love with someone else, and the first guy comes back. Movies like Pearl Harbor have tried it. It absolutely didn’t work.” With or without Hardwicke, Summit ­faces other snags. Two sources tell EW the studio doesn’t want to rehire baby-faced Taylor Lautner (pictured) as Jacob, though Lautner’s agent has apparently reached out to the ­imaging company behind The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in an attempt to demonstrate to Summit how a digitally bulked-up Lautner could work. (Summit says it won’t make a decision until a new filmmaker is on board.) There’s also the matter of finding a cast of Native American actors to play Jacob’s werewolf clan — a difficult challenge Hardwicke was also faced with before ­settling on Lautner, who isn’t completely ­Native American. And with a slightly increased budget of $50 million — much of which is ­assumed will go to leads asking for heftier paydays, location shoots in Italy, and ramped-up F/X — Summit will have to scrimp somewhere. So what director would want to take on such a big headache? Well, at press time, an offer was out to Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass), who put Summit on the map years ago when its foreign sales operation made tons of cash off of his first film, American Pie. (One source says Weitz has already had conversations with below-the-line crew for New Moon.) “We are in a recession,” ­reminds one Hollywood insider. “It’s a hit franchise. Whoever steps into it is guaranteed a $100 million gross. Everyone wants this movie.” Adds an exec at another studio, “You’d have to have a very high standard for art, hate the movie business, and hate ­money to walk off this sequel.”

Oh man … this is really worrisome. There are quite a few things in this report that raise red flags for me. Recasting Jacob Black is a terrible idea! Taylor Lautner made a great Jacob … I can’t believe they hired him for the part only to replace him in the rest of the films. I’m also concerned that they are talking about changing major plot points of the book. Fiddling with the way Edward appears in the sequel is a bad idea … the surest way to piss off fans is to “reimagine” the storyline and make major changes. Finally, I’m really concerned about the rush to make the film. Pre-production is to start next week … and they don’t have a finished script or a director? This just all screams BAD NEWS in my head. What do y’all think … does any of this sound reassuring to you?

Here is a new preview promo pic of Britney Spears with Ellen DeGeneres from a taped segment that is scheduled to air on The Ellen DeGeneres Show next Tuesday December 16. As you may recall, we got to see a few preview pics of Britney and Ellen all dressed up in old skool garb as the ladies went Xmas caroling last weekend together … this new pic looks much more relaxed (and comfortable):

Love it, love it! I can’t wait to see this segment. Additionally, Entertainment Tonight is advertising a new segment of their own where their cameras visited Britney and her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James in their home:

Fortunately for us, we won’t have to wait long until we’re able to watch this ET segment. It is scheduled to air on the show tonight. After the jump, check out a short preview video for the ET piece …

Not to be outdone by Jason Mraz and his NY booksigning last night, Olympic Gold-Medalist Michael Phelps was on hand at the Barnes & Noble on 5th Avenue in NYC also last night to sign copies of his new book No Limits: The Will to Succeed. Here are a few pics from his in-store appearance last night:

From the Amazon.com book description: No Limits explores the hard work, commitment, and sacrifice that go into reaching any goal. Whether it is on the starting block during an Olympic swim meet or in the weight room on a typical day, Phelps’s dedication has led him to unparalleled excellence. Filled with anecdotes from family members, friends, teammates, and his coach, No Limits gives a behind-the-scenes look at the makings of a real champion. One of Phelps’s mottos is “Performance Is Reality,” and it typifies his attitude toward achieving his goals. It’s easy to get bogged down by doubt or to lose focus when a challenge seems out of reach, but Phelps believes that you can accomplish anything if you fully commit yourself to it. Using the eight final swims of the Beijing Olympics as a model, No Limits is a step-by-step guide to realizing one’s dream.

While I am not particularly fond of autobiographical books written by sports stars (especially with ghost writers, like Alan Abrahamson who is also credited as an author of this book), I am a bit curious to read this book about Michael Phelps. His determination to achieve his goals is very inspiring … I think I’d like to know about about how he has been able to achieve many of his dreams at such a young age. I dunno … something about Phelpsie is so compelling to me.

When last we saw Jason Mraz here on the blog we saw a photo of the guy lounging on a couch while wearing only a pair of boxer shorts and a horse head … before that, he was posing with a questionable looking cigarette … today we get to see pics of Mr. Mraz at the Charles Cowles Gallery in NYC which hosted a booksigning last night for Jason‘s new book of Polaroid photos titled a thousand things. Here are a few pics of Jason posing with his trusty Polaroid camera and signing a few books at last night’s event:

When asked about his new book in a recent interview, Jason had this to say: For the past five years that I’ve been touring, I’ve taken Polaroid instant film; Polaroid 600, the cheapest kind you can buy. And there’s really something quite novelty and interesting about this film, and now I’ve taken thousands and thousands of pictures.

Love it! This is exactly the thing I’ve been trying to do for the past few months with my Polaroid camera … and the waning stock of Polaroid film that is out there. I already ordered my copy of Jason‘s book mainly because I’m still kinda obsessed with all things Polaroid but I’m also hoping it’ll offer some inspiration for my ongoing project. It’s too bad I’m in LA this week instead of NY … it would’ve been great to go to this event.

Chris Brown is the latest celebrity to don the famed milk’stache and appear in the newest ad for the Got Milk? campaign. Here is Chris‘s just released new ad that targets, very specifically, the teen market:

The copy reads: Another great collaboration? Milk. Some studies suggest that teens who drink milk tend to be leaner and the protein helps build muscle. So eat right, exercise and drink lowfat or fat free milk. Talk about a smooth move.

Body by Milk has also set up a new website HERE with wallpapers, AIM icons and more for Chris Brown fans to download. Isn’t it interesting that Rihanna appeared in her own Got Milk? ad earlier this year? It’s too bad the Milk folks couldn’t get ChRihanna to appear in an ad together, no? Anyways … what do y’all think … do we like this particular ad photo?

It’s great to have him here tho :) We’ll be heading off to Las Vegas this weekend before he flies back to NY and then on to Florida for Xmas and I head off to Detroit.

Agnes shot some amazing photos of Sarah and Mark in their home for their holiday card … and I’m happy to share one of my fave pics right here:

They are so cute … I love that Agnes was able to capture their fun spirits. The pics are really great.

Not sure what’s going on tonight … I think David and I are gonna head out for a nice dinner and mebbe a movie? Not sure … but whatever we do, I’m glad we’ll be doing it together.

Brad Pitt is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine wherein he talks about his upcoming new movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (natch), the Obama victory and a few personal things on the homefront. I’m kinda bothered that he likes to call Angelina “Angie” … she does not strike me as an “Angie” but more like an “Ange” … but I digress. Here is Brad‘s RS coverphoto and a portion of this interview:

Brad Pitt’s priorities have changed, in more ways than one. “I have this fantasy of my older days, painting or sculpting or making things,” the actor tells Rolling Stone’s next issue, out Friday. “But right now, it’s about getting the work done and getting home to family. I have an adventure every morning getting up.” Pitt, 44, has six children with partner Angelina Jolie. His fantasy drama, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, opens Dec. 25. Making the film made Pitt think about his own mortality. “Angie and I do not fight anymore,” he tells RS. “What occurred to me on this film, and also with the passing of her mother (actress Marcheline Bertrand in 2007), is that there’s going to come a time when I’m not going to get to be with this person anymore. I’m not going to get to be with my children anymore. … And so, if we have a flare-up, it evaporates now.” He adds, “I don’t want to waste time being angry at someone I love.” And he is defensive about Jolie. When asked about a recent New York Times story critical about her relationship with the press, he responds, “It sounded to me like the story made Angie out to be manipulative in some way. … She is savvy. But one of the things I’m most proud of is that not only did these guys who follow us and make our lives miserable and get in my kids’ faces, not only did they not get the money, but it went to people who really need it.” People and Hello! magazines paid millions to charity for exclusive photos of the Jolie-Pitts after the twins’ births. “When it came to the birth of our children, a huge bounty was placed on their heads. And people were going to go to incredible lengths to get it.” And so he credits Jolie’s method of handling publicity about the family. It comes as no surprise, then, that his favorite Jolie film is 2005′s Mr. & Mrs. Smith, in which he co-starred. Why? “Because you know … six kids. Because I fell in love.”

Awww … so cute. Still, I can’t help but ONLY think about how Brad and Ange were cheating together while they made Mr. & Mrs. Smith (which I don’t find romantic at all) but … that is SO water under the bridge. After the jump, check out one more photo from Brad‘s Rolling Stone magazine spread and find out what he has to say about being in Grant Park in Chicago, IL on Election Night …

Here are a couple of SUPERCUTE photos of Matilda Rose Ledger out for a nice ride on her tricycle in her Brooklyn, NY neighborhood this week …

… seriously, I think I’m dying of adorableness. The Uggs! That Hat! So cute. Little Miss Matilda is growing up so fast … and it still breaks my heart to think of her late father Heath every time I see her. She looks so much like him. It does make me happy to see her looking so happy. Of course she’s still too young to fully realize what losing her father at such a young age means but … seeing her smile like this is just too much. She’s a doll!!!

New dad and Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz and Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy debuted a new art show at Gallery 1988 here in LA last night and managed to lure a few family and friends out for the event. Titled Without You I’m Just Me, the exhibit is a collaboration of works between Pete Wentz, Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes and several other LA based artists such as Greg Simkins and Jeff McMillan. Here are a couple pics of Pete making his entrance last night with wife and new mom Ashlee Simpson (her second public appearance in two days) and Jessica Simpson with her BFF and hairstylist Ken Paves:

I’m told that a portion of the proceeds from the art show’s painting, print and catalogue sales will benefit Invisible Children, an incredible charity working closely with Pete to better the living conditions in northern Uganda. Gallery 1998 is at 7020 Melrose Ave. (on the corner of Melrose and La Brea) and the exhibit will run until December 24.

Click HERE to check out some of the artwork that will be on display and is for sale. Some of the pieces are very cool … I think the mixed media 3D paintings are my faves.
