Wolverine

Believe or not this one is true. No, the two aren’t cranking out a CD. They were doing karaoke.

So here is the story. Robert Pattinson was in Tokyo pimping “Twilight” while Hugh Jackman was there to do promos for the “Australia” premiere. While indulging in some free time, Hugh ran into Sparklepants at a bar (big surprise). They ended up doing karaoke along with the rest of the cast of the vampire saga.

Via E! News:

“Jackman’s rep confirms my exclusive Tokyo scoop. “Hugh was there celebrating completion of his promo tour for Australia with director Baz Luhrmann and friends and the fact that the film is just going over $200 million box-office worldwide!” the rep tells me. “About 1a.m., the cast of Twilight came in and they all joined in.”

Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart singing show tunes with Edward Cullen and Wolverine sounds like an acid trip. However, I would have paid cold hard cash to see Pattinson and Jackman in matching gold lame pants and singing “Love Shack.”

2009 Movies to be more of the same—Sequels, Prequels and Remakes

Get out your datebook—the headlining movies for 2009 have been posted, and it looks like sequels, prequels and remakes are at the top of the list. It’s not surprising since these franchises are almost guaranteed money makers.

Via Yahoo:

“Despite the recession, blockbuster franchise flicks have rung up killer box-office returns. Studios hope that continues this year with such familiar names as “Harry Potter,” “Hannah Montana,” “Star Trek,” “Transformers,” “X-Men,” “Alvin and the Chipmunks,” “Ice Age,” “The Terminator” and “Sherlock Holmes.”"

After looking through the list, I can tell you that “Transformers 2″, “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince“, “X-Men” and “New Moon” are at the top of my list. But the surprise? “Fame”, which stars relatively unknowns like Naturi Naughton and Key Panabaker. Although it does have a reconnection of Kelsey Grammar and Bebe Neuwirth from their Cheers! days. Further, 2009 is going to have the comeback of James Cameron with his movie “Avatar”.

All in all, I say 2009 looks exciting and will commence the year with seeing “Confessions of a Shopaholic“, which comes out February 13.
