Romantic Comedy
Jennifer Aniston & Adam Sandler ‘Just Go With It’ In Hawaii

As if we haven’t already been punished enough, Jennifer Aniston was spotted in Hawaii on the set of a new romantic comedy titled Just Go With It that stars funnyman Adam Sandler as her leading man. Now, before all the Ani-stans get all pissy with me, let me assure you that I am just kidding about the “punishment” (tho, The Bounty Hunter did disappear from theaters pretty quickly, didn’t it?). Considering that Jen is teaming up with Adam, this film might actually turn out to be a hit:

I love Adam Sandler but I always have a hard time taking him seriously in romantic comedies like this. These photos of him smoochin’ all up on Jennifer are funny … but prolly not for the right reasons. In any event, I am actually very curious to see how this film turns out … I’m not saying it will necessarily appeal to me but I am hopeful that this collabo between Sandler and Aniston will actually be an entertaining one. We shall see.

The End?
‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn’ Gets A Release Date

Last week we learned that Academy Award-winning director Bill Condon signed on to direct the next installment of The Twilight Saga movie franchise, Breaking Dawn, and today we learn that the movie studio has set a release date for the film. As I’m sure you all all very much aware, The Twilight Saga: New Moon was released last November and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse will be released this June … but we are going to have to wait until November 2011 to see the next sequel film The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn:

Summit Entertainment has picked a release date for “The Twilight Saga’s Breaking Dawn”. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the studio has set November 18, 2011 as the day when the final installment of the vampire drama movie series hits U.S. theaters. However, it has not been announced whether the last chapter of “Twilight” film franchise is going to be split into two parts or not. Latest report on the matter said that sources insisted “Breaking Dawn” will be made into two movies. It was recently announced that Bill Condon is hired to serve behind the lens for this fourth “Twilight” film. Later, the “Dreamgirls” helmer has reached out to fans by writing a letter, stating that the upcoming film will not be musical. “The Twilight Saga’s Breaking Dawn” will follow Bella Swan after she has made a decision between her intense passion for Edward Cullen and her profound connection to Jacob Black. Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are all expected to return to reprise their respective roles in this movie.

I would bet good money that Summit Entertainment will break up Breaking Dawn into two movies (in Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows style) so that they can capitalize as much as possible on the movie franchise. Twilight fans are a seemingly endless font from which the movie studio can extract money … why would they not milk their resource for all they can? To be honest, although there was only a 7 month span between New Moon and Eclipse, I don’t blame them for putting off the next film until the end of next year … again, it’s a good way to keep the fans wanting more. Mark your calendars, y’all … The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn will premiere in theaters in November 2011 … my guess is that Breaking Dawn, Pt. 2 will premiere in theaters in June 2012.

"I really expect that he will fortunately make a 100% recovery."
Bret Michaels Released From The Hospital

Last week we learned the very scary news that Bret Michaels was hospitalized in ICU after he suffered a deadly brain hemorrhage after he was hospitalized for an emergency appendectomy. In the days that followed, things were pretty touch and go as he remained in critical condition but today I am THRILLED to pass along the amazingly good news that Bret has recovered enough to be released from the hospital! It is expected that he will recover 100% and, for now, he is recovering in his own bed, in his own home:

Poison star Bret Michaels has been discharged from the Arizona hospital where he was hospitalized after suffering a brain haemorrhage last month. The rocker, 47, was admitted to the intensive care unit of St. Joseph’s Hospital in Phoenix after suffering bleeding on the brain. Doctors later discovered Michaels suffered a life-threatening side-effect of the condition called hyponatremia – a lack of sodium in the body that can lead to seizures. Dr. Joseph Zabramski held a press conference on Tuesday, May 4 to address Michael’s condition, revealing he is in stable condition and is expected to make a full recovery. He added: “He’s improving and I expect him to continue to improve. I really expect that he will fortunately make a 100 per cent recovery. He’s just one of those lucky people – 10 to 20 per cent – who make a complete recovery and can resume all of their normal activities.” Zabramski did not release details of when Michaels left the hospital due to federal privacy laws.

This, my friends, is what you can call a miracle. I think pretty much everyone, save for the die-hard hopeful and extremely positive, had resigned themselves to the thought that Bret Michaels might die from his injury. This man truly lives a charmed life and I am just so happy that he is doing so well. I’m sure he still has much healing ahead of him but if this ain’t the best news ever, I don’t know what is. Keep gettin’ better, Bret! We are all pulling for you!!
