In the months to come, I doubt that even a week will go by without us and other bloggers making some mention of 2010’s looming Marvel tentpoles — Jon Favreau’s Iron Man 2 and Kenneth Branagh’s Thor — and while the former has most of its cast aligned (save for some villains), the latter is sorely lacking in a pretty critical Norse god figure.

Alas, the hunt may already be on, if the scoop by Corona’s Coming Attractions is accurate (and save for one typo, it all sounds about right). Producers are looking for a “physically powerful, very handsome, occasionally egotistical, petulant, and wild” male lead in his mid-to-late twenties and standing six feet or taller in height. They want “a natural warrior with a quick charming wit who must be genuinely and severly humbled before becoming the compassionate, mature her [sic] of our film.”

Man, take away the height and age restrictions, and I’d say we may already have a winner…

If you’re a regular — or even an irregular — Two and a Half Men watcher, you’ve probably noticed that Charlie Sheen’s character, Charlie Harper, has a very distinctive look. You might call it immature, if you’re nasty, or eclectic, if you’re nice, but it is memorable. I’ve always thought the look was a reflection of the real Charlie Sheen, and now we’re going to find out if I’m right.

Charlie Sheen has created the DaVinci Collection, a clothing line focusing on short-sleeved, button front shirts with a retro flair. The prices will be $59 to $79 each and the description strikes me as very much like Charlie Harper’s wardrobe.

There has been a lot of buzz over the path of Katherine Heigl’s career — much of which is steeped in rumors about her desire for good material. Whether or not some of the particulars are true, like rumors that she wants to exit Grey’s Anatomy due to crappy storylines, I think it’s safe to say that she definitely portrays herself as a woman with a plan. A woman with a crappy rom-com plan thus far, but a plan nonetheless. I just can’t believe that it includes Ashton Kutcher.

Variety reports that Heigl and Kutcher will star in Lionsgate’s new thriller called Five Killers. Following director Robert Luketic to the feature, straight from The Ugly Truth, Heigl will play a woman who meets the man of her dreams (Kutcher) while on vacation and gets hitched. Unfortunately, “married bliss is turned upside down when they discover that their neighbors may be assassins hired to kill them.”

Unlike many, I wasn’t angered by many of her public comments. I understood her point of view over that whole Knocked Up kerfuffle, and I thought it she was quite honest and rational with her Emmy withdrawal last year. But her big screen choices make any complaints about mediocre storylines, or determination about her craft, a complete joke. Will any of you actually go see this?

The Hollywood beauty is sick of men who “act like women” and claims she would rather be romanced by a “masculine” lady.

Remember when every single person in the world said that Katie Couric would be gone from The CBS Evening News by the end of 2008? HA!

Not only is Couric not going anywhere, her show is actually doing better, thanks in part to the election coverage. It’s still in third place, of course (and I think it will probably stay there for quite some time, if not forever), but her ratings are improving. The first week of this month, Couric’s show trailed ABC’s World News by 1.5 million viewers. That might seem like a lot, but Couric trailed that show by 2.8 million viewers the same week last year. The same thing happened last week compared to the same week in 2008. Hey, at least it’s a move in the right direction.

there’s been a slight change in plans … i decided to come back home and watch the oscars from the comfort of my own home (it’s a long story but mr. chow was not the ideal place to watch the show from - it was a bit disorganized as those types of events always are - it was nice to be invited but i know i’ll have more fun being on my couch plus i’m drained from last night hanging out with my pal lisa) i’ll be twittering quite a bit - so come follow along!

Actors are often the last people to know what’s going on in their careers, but if you can’t believe an Academy Award nominee, who can you trust? Mickey Rourke “grimly” told New York Magazine’s Vulture blog: “Right now, we’re not doing Iron Man 2.”

That settles that, right? We move on to the next hot, resurrected star? Except it doesn’t, because he had to preface his comment with that lovely, vague modifier “right now.” Did he mean that he wasn’t acting in Iron Man 2 “right now” because he was at a fashion show? Did he mean, We’re still negotiating so I can’t say anything “right now”? Was Mickey grim because he could use a paycheck, even one for a measly $250,000, “right now”? Oh, Mickey, you’re so fine, why can’t you lock this deal down and put us all out of our agony?

Compare Mickey’s terse comment with the even more vague statements by Robert Downey Jr. a couple of weeks ago. Will Rourke be in the movie? “If he signed on to do it, I’m super excited.” Which villain would he play, Crimson Dynamo or Whiplash? “[I can] neither confirm nor deny that. Maybe it’s some semblance of both.”

On the positive side, Rourke told NYMag that he’s taking his agent David Unger as his date to the Oscar ceremony on Sunday. Will that facilitate further negotiations? Will they spend the entire show talking about the deal, thus disturbing everyone sitting around them? And how much money does Rourke really want to appear in a guaranteed box office hit?
