The Saddest Day of My Life

Not only did the punk rock community lose an icon with Jim Carroll's passing today, but now we here at Scooped! are devastated to announce the death of Road House star Patrick Swayze after a long, brave battle with Ben Gazzara.  He will be sorely missed.

Muppets! Segel!

Sure, everyone knows that Jason Segel has written an upcoming Muppet movie, but now we know the title!  Based on an idea of Jim Henson's back in 1985, the new film will be called The Cheapest Muppet Movie Ever Made.  The movie will center around our heroes putting on a show to save Muppet Studios from a greedy oil tycoon.

First Look!

For better or for worse the feature film version of the SNL sketch MacGruber is in front of cameras as we speak.  The first on set photos show our hero and co-star Kristen Wiig wearing their signature bad hair.  The movie co-stars Ryan Phillippe and Powers Boothe.

Mr. Belding Sings!

Dennis Haskins, Mr. Belding to you and me, apparently likes to make the rounds at Los Angeles karaoke clubs. And what's the next best thing to seeing Belding belting out the hits in an L.A. bar?  Hearing and watching this CD/DVD of Haskins performing some of his favorite songs.  Tunes like "School's Out", "Brown Eyed Girl" and "Piano Man".  Sounds like the album of the year.

MTV to Rape Childhood!

We here at Scooped! are sad to announce the heartless bludgeoning of everybody's favorite teenage basketball-playing werewolf.  MTV has announced it is developing a pilot based the classic Michael J. Fox movie Teen Wolf.  At least they're not making a movie.  No need to add cell phones or Dane Cook to that gem.  Here's to hoping it turns out to be this generation's Saved By The Bell!  Scooped!

It's On!

Big news for me this morning. It
appears NuImage/Millennium films is going ahead with Rambo 5 which will find our hero entangled in some shenanigans on the US/Mexico border. There's even talk that Mickey Rourke will play the villain. Enjoy your double scoop of Scooped!

Stallone Heads Down Mexico Way

And I Thought Katie Couric wasn't qualified

Huffington post has reported directly to Scooped! that The Today Show has hired former first or second daughter Jenna Bush as a correspondent.  She will report once a month on topics she is no doubt qualified to discuss.  I have nothing but the utmost confidence she'll do a bang up job.  Of course that didn't work out for the last member of her family who was given a job they weren't qualified for.

A title!

Here at Scooped! we are excited to announce the title of the new zombie film by director George A. Romero!  Survival of the Dead.  It has a title and it will screen at the Toronto Film Festival.  Scooped!

Michael GaGa

Boy, we've got a hot one here at Scoop Central!  GaGa! Bolton!  Some may say this is an odd couple.  I would disagree.  Both were the pre-eminent, vacuous spectacles of their day.  She with her bubble dress and he with his hair.  But now they've joined forces on the song "Murder My Heart" from Bolton's upcoming album. It's as good as it sounds y'all.  Check it out!

Steven Seagal: Lawman

If you're like me, and I'm guessing you're not, then you've been wondering whatever happened to that Steven Seagal reality show.  Well, turns out the show (Steven Seagal: Lawman) has been delayed by a law suit.  The dispute apparently centers on who, in fact, came up with this golden idea.  I for one hope this can be settled quickly so they can get Seagal on the air and back into the hearts of America.

Linney will play a woman diagnosed with cancer in this offbeat comedy. No word on additional casting at scoop time.

Grover is Kosher

Finally a Sesame Street for the rest of us! Shalom Sesame is coming to the United States. With the star power of Jake Gyllenhaal,Christina Applegate, Debra Messing, Greg Kinnear and Cedric the Entertainer, it is sure to be a hit (even with the Gentiles).

Cedric the Entertainer? Who knew.

Heathers to be TV series

The company which owns the rights to Heathers has decided to develop the classic film as a television series instead of doing a remake.  Sounds like an awful idea to me, but so does a remake.  At least I can avoid the TV show a little easier.  Scooped!
