Could Ryan Reynolds be Hollywood's new go to guy for romantic comedies? Sure seems like it! The "Definitely, Maybe" actor proved his rom com mettle after starring in this year's "The Proposal", alongside Sandra Bullock, which turned out to be the highest grossing romantic comedy of all time (talk about a resume builder). Now, according to Hollywood Wiretap, he's all set to star in "TMI," a movie centered around the idea that while honesty might be the best policy in a relationship, "too much information" usually isn't (yeah... we couldn't agree more!).
"The House Bunny" star Anna Faris is slated to play Ryan's other-half in the flick (which he's executive producing, by the way) and we couldn't be more excited to see the comedic chemistry between the two. Plus, both are newlyweds (him to Scarlett Johansson, and her to Chris Pratt), so we bet they know a thing or too about relationship dynamics.
It’s called "Leap Year." It only comes around once every four years. The reasoning for a leap year is to keep our calendar synchronized with the astronomical or seasonal calendar. So February 29th is added to the calendar making 366 days in a year. After what seemed to be the inevitable, this upcoming year we finally get a film about this odd occurrence. Who would have thought a romantic film could be made about a leap year?
Amy Adams portrays Anna, someone who seemingly has everything in control. After a hint from her friend, she is expecting a marriage proposal from her boyfriend (Adam Scott from "Step Brothers") only any day now. One night she goes out to dinner only to receive a pair of earrings to utter disappointment. Anna’s boyfriend then departs to Dublin, Ireland for a business trip.
It's been four months since Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock united on the big screen to play a boss and assistant who "fake" an engagement in the romantic comedy "The Proposal." If you were one of the many moviegoers who took in the highest grossing rom com in history (OK, only in the U.S., but still people, that's quite a feat!) when it was still in theaters, then you'll recall the way the movie ended, leaving us all even more charmed by Ryan that we already were.
You see, after calling off his faux engagement to his Canadian boss, Maggie (Sandra), Ryan's Andrew (SPOILER ALERT!!) realizes he wasn't faking the relationship — he actually has feelings for the rigid bitch! So, in the midst of Maggie's departure from his small Alaskan hometown, Andrew does what any guy in love would do: tries to stop her plane home from taking off so that he can proclaim is love. His attempts fail but we do know the couple winds up together (duh, this is a Sandra Bullock movie after all).
Now, if you can erase everything I just mentioned from your head for oh, five minutes, then you should press play on our exclusive deleted scene below from "The Proposal" DVD/Blu-ray (out Oct. 13), in which Andrew manages to have his buddy send Maggie a message while she's on the aforementioned flight. If this scene had been included in the actual movie, we're not quite sure how it would've changed the outcome ... but god knows if Ryan Reynolds ever called us a "foxy lady," we'd be attempting to turn that plane back around ourselves!
Miley Cyrus' rumored shoot date for her rumored cameo in the "Sex and the City: The Movie" sequel is fastly approaching and it seems details of her storyline have been leaked on the Internet.
Looks like Joe Jonas will be breaking hearts before cupid has even has a chance to arrive next February 14. Don't worry — we don't mean a girl has taken him off the market (not that we know of, at least), but the Jonas Brother has unfortunately confirmed to Just Jared that contrary to prior reports, he won't be appearing in the ensemble rom com, "Valentine's Day" .
“I actually went for the audition and it was looking really good, but scheduling just wasn’t working out," Joe explained to JJ. Had he have gotten the role, he would have been starring opposite his ex, Taylor Swift — a feat that caused us here at Hollywood Crush to wonder just how many other random connections there were between the 15 + cast members. So we came up with our own version of a "Valentine's Day" family tree, only now we're sadly going to have to cross the well-coiffed singer out of it.
Taylor Swift is one lucky girl. She's uber-successful, uber-talented, has an amazing sense of style and, well, she also gets to star alongside Taylor Lautner in "Valentine's Day."
For the most part, the on-screen couple have been pretty mum about what fans can expect to see from them in the rom-com, but now Swift is giving us a hint. A very, very tiny, yet completely important hint.
We kind of assumed that there would be some sort of kissing going on between the pair, on-screen, obviously, because well it's been reported. And we always kind of assumed that kissing Lautner would be awesome since well, he's Taylor Lautner. So, it's nice to actually get that confirmation from the VMA-winner herself. She told Justjared.com, very simply that: "It was life-changing!” Read more...
Calling all Bradley Cooper and Sandra Bullock fans! Boy, do we have news! Lucky for you, (er… and me, because Bradley Cooper is my eye candy of the month), MTV News has managed to get an exclusive and never-before-seen sneak peak of the upcoming comedy, “All About Steve.”
In the teaser, Steve (or my love, Bradley), attempts to tell Mary, played by the gorgeous yet quirky Sandra, that he doesn’t love or want her around anymore. Now, from all the previews that have been circulating the media, it seems pretty obvious that Mary is not only in love with Steve (who couldn’t be in love with that smile!), but is a little obsessed and in denial about his true feelings.

Today is September 1st, and, though there are still 20 days left of summer, it marks the end of the 2009 summer movie season. The box office numbers show that 2009 was the highest grossing summer ever — surprising for the lack of blockbuster hits (a term typically defined as a film that grosses over $300 million). The biggest surprise to come out of the summer movie roundup came in the form of a Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds rom-com. That’s right: "The Proposal" was the #10 highest grossing film of the summer and, with a $160 total domestic gross, the highest grossing romantic comedy domestically in history.
"But what about the 'Sex and the City' movie?" you may ask yourself in reference to last year’s hugely successful big screen debut of the Big Apple’s fabulous foursome. Well, the "Sex and the City: The Movie" went on to make $415 million worldwide (yes, blockbuster status!), but $262 million of that came from international sales and only $152 million was domestic. It seems then, undebatably, that "The Proposal" is in fact the most successful summer rom-com of all time … in the US. Read more...
We have to say that combining the tween loved forces known as country princess Taylor Swift and "Twilight" star Taylor Lautner for the new everybody-in-Hollywood-is-in-this-flick rom-com known as "Valentine's Day" is quite genius. And now there's photographic evidence of the pair on set (check out another pic after the jump)!
Swift's reps confirmed her casting to MTV News for the flick, and although Lautner hadn't been confirmed at press time, if these photos prove anything it's that Lautner and Swift, who made a cameo in "Hannah Montana: The Movie" earlier this year, will be making some sweet music together on screen.

For romantic comedies, it seems to be the bigger the ensemble cast the better. Case in point, "Love Actually" and "He's Just Not That Into You." The producers behind Garry Marshall's new project must have been imbibing extra amounts of caffeine when they heard about the success of such films because today they announced "Aliens in the Attic" cutie Carter Jenkins would also be joining the cast along with Jamie Foxx and Queen Latifah.
So lets just take a moment to recap the stars in this film (shooting now): that's Carter Jenkins, Jamie Foxx and Queen Latifah in addition to Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner, Shirley MacLaine, Bradley Cooper, Ashton Kutcher, Topher Grace, Emma Roberts, Hector Elizondo, Patrick Dempsey and Eric Dane. Take a moment to soak it all in. We're still a bit baffled by how all these big stars are going to handle the undoubtedly smaller roles they will be given due to the size of this film, but lets continue. Read more...
