Mental Floss

It looks like Dwayne Johnson has a new movie coming out next year for Disney (of course) where he gets wrangled into taking over for the Tooth Fairy for a week.

I hope they let the public know what week that will be...

I'll need time to get a pair of plyers and some fresh bed linens ready.

Hopefully it'll be at least as entertaining as this Stuart "MadTV" sketch with Susan Sarandon as the infamous dental damsel.



Stuart slays me.

Emmy Nominations

The funny Kristen Chenowith and Neil Patrick Harris got up early this morning to announce the Emmy Nominations.

They also ended up being nominated themselves, which was a nice surprise to each of them, as you'll see by the clip above. They both made the normally bland reading of the nominations a bit fun for a change.

I'm very happy that several of my favorites got nominated this year. People like Kathy Griffin, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Glenn Close, Jean Smart, Cynthia Nixon, Laura Dern, Tina Fey, Tim Conway, Ellen Burstyn, Sharon Gless, Alec Baldwin, Susan Sarandon, Steve Carell, Sally Field, Mary Louis-Parker, Judi Dench, Chandra Wilson, Candice Bergen, Dianne Wiest, Alfre Woodard, Laura Linney, Michael Emerson (Ben on "Lost") and James Spader.

I'm also happy to see that "The Office", "30 Rock", "Brothers and Sisters", "Amazing Race", "Extras", "Boston Legal" and "My Life on the D-List" were all nominated shows in their catagories.

I am VERY happy to see that the horrible remake of the movie "Sybil" didn't get anything.

I do love Jessica Lange, but I hope that she was able to collect a nice paycheck and then take a LONG vacation after that fiasco.

Here is the complete list of Emmy Nominations if you'd like to take a peek.

The Death and Life of John F. Donovan

The trailer for the The Death and Life of John F. Donovan was released today...



It has a great cast, including Kit Harington and Susan Sarandon, and looks like something that would make me cry, so I'll probably watch it.

The movie opens on December 13th, but will also be available On-Demand the same day.

Feud

The first full trailer for the upcoming mini-series Feud on FX was released...



Jessica Lange as Joan Crawford and Susan Sarandon as Bette Davis....

I'm in!

The melodrama begins on March 5th.

Bachelorette Pad

Now that she's single, Susan Sarandon has purchased a $1.75 million dollar one-bedroom penthouse in New York's trendy Village area.



I wonder if she needs a house-sitter to watch those plants?

If so...I'm in.

Peace-Out

This was a surprise...

One of Hollywood's most enduring relationships has ended -- Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins have broken up after more than two decades together.

The couple met on the set of "Bull Durham," and they have two sons together, Jack, 20, and Miles, 17.

I always liked them as a couple because they seemed like a good fit in so many ways. But, 20 years together is still pretty amazing in Hollywood-time...

Isn't that like 200 years to us regular folks?
