The Iron Man 2 goodies just keep on comin’, y’all! On Wednesday we got to see the WonderCon exclusive poster of Black Widow (played by Scarlett Johansson) and today we get to see a slew of new photos and posters from the highly-anticipated sequel. First up, here is a batch of character promo pics of the second tier characters featured in Iron Man 2:

After launching “Iron Man 2″ official website, Paramount Pictures has updated the site with many new pictures. Beside featured in a number of production images, main characters such as Tony Stark/Iron Man, Pepper Potts, Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow and Ivan Vanko/Whiplash are exposed individually in promo photos. After revealing that he is the man behind the armored superhero Iron Man, billionaire inventor Tony is asked to share his technology. Unwilling to divulge the secrets behind the Iron Man armor because he fears the information will slip into the wrong hands, Tony forges new alliances and confronts powerful new forces with Pepper and James “Rhodey” Rhodes at his side. Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow reprise their roles as Tony and Pepper, while Don Cheadle is tapped to replace Terrence Howard as James. New characters Black Widow and Whiplash are portrayed by Scarlett Johansson and Mickey Rourke respectively. Director Jon Favreau also stars as Hogan, Tony’s assistant. This “Iron Man” sequel is targeted for May 7 release in the U.S.

Personally, I’d take Pepper Potts (played by Gwyneth Paltrow) over Black Widow any day, hands down … but, I guess there’s enough room for both ladies in this flick. In addition to these individual character promos (all of which you can find HERE at the official site), we also get to check out new posters of Iron Man and War Machine …

Check ‘em out after the jump …

Last night my friend Josh and I made our way to the ArcLight Theater in Sherman Oaks, CA to attend an early 8pm showing of Clash of the Titans. As you may recall, I’ve been blogging about this movie for months excitedly anticipating its release. On the whole, I enjoyed myself last night but, very unfortunately, the movie does not measure up to my hopeful expectations:

First things first … the reviews bashing the 3D effects in this film are, sadly, very right on. The movie was not filmed in 3D so the effect was added in post-production … and it shows. Never does the movie come out at the screen at you … and a lot of it is blurry and distracting. I should say there are some big battle scenes that look cool in 3D but not enough to save the film. I didn’t like many of the changes to the original story. In the original 1981 film, the humans defied the gods out of careless naivety … in this version, they outright declare war on the gods. It’s an interesting concept but it doesn’t make much sense. Many of the cute things about the original film have been glossed over or “upgraded” but they do not, in my opinion, surpass the original film. I was happy to see that the mechanical owl Bubo makes a cameo … but it’s brief and quickly discounted. I will say that the movie is fun for mindless fare … over all I’d give it a B- but the crappy effects lower the grade to C or C-. It’s worth seeing but is NOT a must see.

Now … after the movie, I had to get to West Hollywood so that I could see my girl Laura Bell Bundy perform at The Abbey. She is doing some promo appearances for the release of her new album Achin’ & Shakin’ (due out on April 13) and her first LA gig was last night. After the jump, check out some photos I snapped of her performance last night …

Back in January, we learned that Fox is planning to bring the hit UK sci-fi series Torchwood to the US and at the time, I thought the plan was to remake the series for the US audience. According to a reported leaked casting call for the US version of the series, tho, it turns out that the plan is to make a US spin-off of Torchwood — which sits much better in my mind than does a remake of the show. Instead of recasting the original characters for this new show, the plan is to cast new characters … for a US Torchwood headquarters!

Firefox News has received an exclusive peek into the casting sheet for upcoming FOX import Torchwood America. Coming off stellar ratings and an overwhelmingly positive fan reaction to the BBC series, FOX has ordered thirteen episodes of a spin-off series guarantee to appeal to viewers on this side of the Pond. Series creator Russell T. Davies said, “The heart of the original programme was Gwen Cooper, our audience POV character, so we’re going to build on that in the new series. We’re going to introduce Gwen’s American cousin Jen, a feisty blonde in her early twenties. She will kick arse and take names and still provide that human touch to a jaded world. In her free time, she works with disadvantaged children and feeds the hungry. People are just going to love her.” The casting sheet calls for a “tech whiz” played by an Asian male actor in his early thirties. “Looking for a younger Daniel Dae Kim.” The character was hired away from Area 51, and provides his own alien-hunting wisdom to the team. The team’s doctor is a “shy wallflower type, the kind who can take off her glasses and be beautiful.” Actresses in their mid-twenties, preferably red-haired or brunette, are desired. Rumor says Rachel McAdams was considered for the role but is “too old.” The character is described as “bi-curious,” satisfying both the mandatory Torchwood gay quota and offering opportunities for hot lesbian kissing. Team heartthrob Captain Jack Harkness, as played by John Barrowman, is slated to appear in the first two episodes of the series to help launch the show … Filling his shoes after his departure will be a “young leader, early to mid-thirties, a brash hero-type but unsure of himself.” The casting sheet says he’ll have plenty of sexual tension with Jen and the doctor both. Supporting characters include a “smart and sassy” police commissioner who interacts with the team from the legal side of catching aliens, Jen’s hapless boyfriend who is unaware of her real job, and a recurrent “streetwise” alien who has blended into the local population and provides comic relief. When questioned about an equivalent character for fan-favorite Ianto (killed off in last year’s “Children of Earth”) Davies said, “We felt the character took away valuable screen time from the leads, and we don’t wish to go in that direction again. But we do promise at least one gay kiss per series, which should make everyone happy.”

What worries me about this report, which I am HOPING is true, is the timing of its release. This report was published just one day before April Fool’s Day. While I don’t totally believe that a leaked casting sheet for a show like Torchwood is necessarily fodder for a brilliant prank, it is possible that it’s not entirely true (the inclusion of Rachel McAdams’s name also seems suspicious). That being said, most people in the US aren’t even aware of Torchwood so a joke doesn’t really make sense. BUT, if I take this report at face value then I LOVE IT!! A US headquarters for Torchwood could be brilliant (think 24 meets Dr. Who). Obviously, there is a high liklihood that the show will be set in Los Angeles … but I understand other cities up for setting contention are Cleveland, OH and — GET THIS — Detroit, MI! If Detroit becomes the setting for Torchwood America, I will absolutely lose my shizz with happiness! I admit I was none-too-pleased when I first heard that Torchwood was being adapted for a US audience … but this leaked casting report, if true — that is, has not only allayed my fears and worries but instead fills me with HOPE that the show will RULE ALL! Please let this report be true … PLEASE!!

Um … thoughts Torchwood fans?

It’s been a couple of months since we’ve seen any new promo materials from the upcoming big screen adaptation of The A-Team (due out in theaters this Summer) … but today we get to check out a new poster (which isn’t all that great) and a new movie trailer (which is). First up, the poster:

20th Century Fox has released the new trailer for The A-Team today along with the new poster! … Directed by Joe Carnahan and opening June 11, The A-Team follows the exciting and daring exploits of a colorful team of former Special Forces soldiers who were set up for a crime they did not commit. Going “rogue,” they utilize their unique talents to try and clear their names and find the true culprit. Liam Neeson (Taken), Bradley Cooper (The Hangover), mixed martial arts champ Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, and District 9 sensation Sharlto Copley, are “The A-Team.”

The poster I don’t love … it’s a bit too crowded. The trailer, on the other hand, I like a lot. It may not be as action-packed as the first trailer that we got to see in early January (but, rest assured, they managed to squeeze in the flying tank shooting missiles at the jet airplanes) but it does give a better sense of what the film will be. After the jump, check out this new trailer in full …

As if Lindsay Lohan didn’t have enough problems contending with her father’s meddling in her life, it appears she has other — bigger — probs to contend with. According to TMZ (who usually tends to get these things right more than they get them wrong), Linds is in a world of financial trubs … and she doesn’t seem to have many viable options for getting herself out of that trouble. It is being reported that L. Lo had failed to pay 2 months of rent and was almost evicted before she had to pony up and shell out over $20,000 just to pay what she owed. Considering the fact that she was recently fired from her post as “Creative Director” at Emanuel Ungaro and doesn’t appear to have any substantial work in her future, her inability to pay her rent on time seems like it could be a big problem. Is it possible that the once millionairess is now broke?

Lindsay Lohan is broke — so much so, she can’t even pay her rent on time, sources tell TMZ. We’ve learned Lindsay was two months behind in rent and her landlord sent her a legal notice to pay or get out. Lindsay just paid her landlord $23,000 to become current. What’s worse … Lindsay isn’t pulling in any income and her prospects for work are almost non-existent because of substance abuse issues … according to our sources. In the few days since TMZ published the story that friends and professionals are deeply afraid for Lindsay, the situation has become even more dire. We’re told there is still a strong feeling — even resignation — that Lindsay will die soon if she doesn’t get help. There is deep frustration among the remaining people in Lindsay’s world that her mom, Dina, is enabling her daughter by insisting Lindsay is fine. As for how Lindsay could possibly be in compliance with her alcohol education program — all she’s required to do is go to the classes and refrain from driving. Drug and alcohol testing are not part of the drill. More evidence of Lindsay’s situation: last night she went to Les Deux, where she once again fell — hard — on her way out of the club. After the crash, she got up, dusted herself off … and went to another nightclub.

And the hits just keep on comin’. In all honesty, I highly doubt that Lindsay is totally broke … right now … but I can see how the life she has been living will totally deplete her resources if she doesn’t get new, lucrative work — soon. A few weeks ago, there was a report that Lindsay had teamed up with Christian Audigier to design a new line of purses for Ed Hardy … but she has since shot down those reports as false. As tacky as it would be to work for Ed Hardy, at least it would’ve been a pretty substantive paycheck. What really sucks is that there seems to be no one out there to really help her … her father just seems to want to use her public problems for his own PR gain and her mother appears to have her head buried in the sand, denying that her daughter has any problems at all. I fear that Lindsay‘s story may have a tragic end … which is so sad because she showed so much promise as a young actress. She definitely has the power to turn her life around … if she wants to. I hope, for her sake, she comes to that realization sooner rather than later … before it’s too late.

A few weeks ago we learned that Janet Jackson would be releasing new a new single titled Nothing, a single featured on the soundtrack to her new film Why Did I Get Married Too?, at the end of March and today we get our first look at the music video for the track. While we eagerly await the release of her new album of new material (which, I hear, has been pushed back), let’s take a listen to this new JJ song to sate our appetites:

As you might imagine, from the subject matter of the film, Nothing is a quiet ballad and NOT an up-beat dance track … still, despite the slowness of the track I like the song very much. Nothing hearkens back to the hit ballads that Janet released in the 90′s … and it’s just a pretty song. After the jump, check out the video for Nothing in full …

Aaron Carter‘s gettin’ married, y’all!! That’s right … take a moment to dry your tears and settle yourself … the young buck is now officially off the market. It was announced late yesterday that Carter proposed marriage to his longtime friend-turned girlfriend Maile Hochuli. Sooooo … I suppose congratulations are in order … Aaron and Maile are gettin’ hitched!

Former teen heartthrob Aaron Carter, 22, is off the market! He is engaged to marry his student/dancer girlfriend Maile Hochuli, 19. “Aaron took Maile to the movie Alice in Wonderland, which she has been dying to see,” a friend tells Star. “She didn’t get to see the end of the movie though because Aaron got down on a knee and proposed with a beautiful pear shaped diamond ring! Maile was completely overjoyed and said yes immediately!” The couple, who have been friends for years, only started seriously dating at the beginning of 2010. Aaron popped the question the last weekend in March. He was engaged to former Playboy model and Celebrity Rehab patient, Kari Ann Peniche, for a week in 2006. Although Maile currently lives in Orlando where she goes to school, she is making plans to move to Miami to be with Aaron. “Aaron and Maile have only been dating for a short period of time but they are both extremely happy,” the friend adds. “This is the happiest I have ever seen Maile.”

Yes, yes … this is all happy news … BUT, before we go poppin’ champagne bottles, let’s take this news with a bit of a grain of salt. As mentioned above, we should not forget that Carter has been engaged before — and that engagement only lasted a week. And yes, these two have been friends for “years” (apparently) but they’ve only started dating this year … and now they’re already engaged to be married? HMMM. I suppose I can understand why Maile would be thrilled to marry Aaron (she is young, after all) but I hope he treats her right. After the jump, check out the rock that Carter gave to Hochuli when he proposed to her …
