A promo for Justin Bieber's upcoming roast on Comedy Central has just been released. Like I said before, I don't know why people were initially so happy about this like they actually thought he'd be embarrassed. About what? He gets to take his shirt off. There's an entire show about him. Full Story

With SNL’s 40th anniversary celebration looming this February (even though the real anniversary is in October but this works to accommodate Sweeps), there’s a lot of SNL coverage, including a new feature in The Hollywood Reporter featuring the people who have hosted at least five times, including Tom Hanks, Alec Baldwin, Candice Bergen, Drew Barrymore—the only two women to host 5+ times in forty years, but no, this show totally doesn’t have a diversity problem Full Story

Alright, alright, alright… It’s not really a song. But everyone seems to be singing it. And wanting to hear it. And we heard it last night when he won Best Drama Actor at Critics’ Choice, presented by Jessica Chastain, who threw out an “alright, alright, alright” when she opened the envelope and announced his name. Full Story

Lately at award shows, Julia Roberts has been heading to the podium barefoot. At the Palm Springs Film Festival however, where she presented to her friend Tom Hanks, she kept them on. Maybe she thought those old ass Academy voters who live there would not have been impressed. Julia was with Tom Hanks that year at the Golden Globes, you remember?, when she gave us “WHO’s NATALIE???” But she also caught up with her buddy Bradley Cooper. Full Story

There were some major players at the Palm Springs Film Festival this weekend. As Tom Hanks said at the event, “The holidays have come to an end but for some the celebrity mule train is just beginning”. Oscar nominations voting ends on Wednesday (and will be announced next Thursday) and since many Oscar voters live in Palm Springs, it’s always an opportunity for one last hustle to get their names on the ballot. Full Story

He must be thinking, “Daniel Day-Lewis has three. Why not me?” First in October, Tom Hanks has Paul Greengrass’s Captain Phillips, about the Maersk Alabama’s crew being taken hostage by Somali pirates, which is sure to be a tense and heroic turn for Hanks. And then in December he’s starring as Walt Disney in Saving Mr. Full Story

Do you? I do. Nora Ephron’s Lucky Guy premiered on Broadway this week. Tom plays the lead Mike McAlary and, as you know, it’s not the first time he’s acted for Nora. We are all probably very familiar with all the other times he’s acted for Nora. Understandably then, Tom was very emotional at curtain call the other night, telling Page Six while holding back tears that Full Story

Cloud Atlas will premiere at TIFF. Have you read it? As I noted the other day - click here for a refresher - I was nervous about how it could be a film and at the same time, curious about how it would look as a film as imagined by the Wachowskis. Now an almost 6 minute trailer is online. Full Story

Ok, not really. But check him out from the side in the first photo attached. Doesn’t that look like Will Wales? It’s obviously not Will Wales. This is Chet Haze. Or, rather, Chester Haze. Or, rather, Chester Hanks. The son of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. Now, apparently, a smooth operating rapper? Please. Full Story

Sandra Bullock and Usain Bolt were both at Mr Chow last night for dinner. Some people tried to suggest that it was a date. Apparently all they did was pose for a photo together inside. Hilarious, right? Let us not speak of what happened last month at the Worlds. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen at the Olympics. Full Story

Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg produced another miniseries. The Pacific is a 10 part war epic that will air on HBO beginning March 14. To add star power to the event, HBO trotted out its True Blood stars: Stephen Moyer, Sam Trammell, Deborah Ann Woll, Ryan Kwanten, and Alexander Skarsgard who looks like he’s had the hot sucked out of him by that starving twat Kate Bosworth. Full Story

A star-studded carpet last night in New York. Oscar winners Tom Hanks, Forest Whitaker showed up to support alongside the film’s stars Catherine Keener and Catherine O’Hara (love her so much), and young Max Records with Spike Jonze and Maurice Sendak. And oh yeah, Blake Lively too. Where The Wild Things Are marks the third time Jonze has directed a feature film. Full Story

Are Tom Hanks’s jeans too tight? I don’t want Tom Hanks to be Tight Jeans Guy. Not his best moment. So apparently Joel Silver threw a Memorial Day party or something and a lot of famous people showed up including Tom and Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal. Hm. Jakey looks hot in that hat. Full Story

Can you think of a better way to wake up? It’s Ewan McGregor in Rome with Tom Hanks and the cast of Angels & Demons beginning what’s expected to be a big push promotional tour to compete for the box office during a very crowded May. Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine just opened with impressive results, Star Trek is on the way, Angels is the week after followed by Terminator Salvation on the 21st. Full Story
