Olivia Lands Reality TV Deal
Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco Joins I, Hop
Kaley Cuoco (who plays the character Penny in The Big Bang Theory) has signed on to star alongside Russell Brand in the Easter Bunny comedy I, Hop. Described as "the world's worst houseguest," Brand plays an Easter Bunny who is accidentally injured by an unemployed slacker played by James Marsden, who is then forced to take the holiday creature in until he recovers. As one might expect, wacky hijinks ensue, and both characters eventually "learn what it takes to finally grow up." Yawn.
According to THR, Cuoco will play Marsden's character's sister, "who allows Marsden to live with her when he gets kicked out by his parents, and finds herself dealing with the injured heir to the Easter Bunny throne." The film is planned as a live-action / CGI blend (ie Brand's Easter Bunny will be CGI while the rest of the film is live action). Tim Hill (Alvin and the Chipmunks) is directing. The script is by Cinco Paul, Ken Daurio and Brian Lynch.
The film is the first live-action production from Universal Pictures' Illumination Entertainment, the guys behind the computer animated feature Despicable Me. That film looks promising, this just seems like a high concept cash grab - The Santa Clause meets Step Brothers, or what not.

Solitary Man Movie Trailer and Photos
Anchor Bay Films has released a movie trailer for Brian Koppelman/David Levien's Solitary Man (not to be confused with Tom Ford's A Single Man or The Coen Brothers' A Serious Man). The film stars Academy Award winner Michael Douglas as a former car dealership mogul dealing with a string of business problems and issues in his personal life through a number of relationships with women - many women. Co-starring Jesse Eisenberg, Susan Sarandon, Danny DeVito, Jenna Fischer, and Mary-Louise Parker.
Koppelman/Levien wrote the screenplays for Rounders, Runaway Jury and directed Knockaround Guys. The film premiered at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival to mostly positive buzz. Watch the trailer now embedded after the jump along with some new photos. Please leave your thoughts in the comments below.
It appears the trailer has been removed. Until we can find another copy, please check out the earlier released promo trailer for the film:

Here is the extended plot synopsis from TIFF:
Drawing together the Michael Douglas mystique from both Wall Street and Fatal Attraction, Solitary Man casts Douglas as a predatory lion in winter, an alpha male led astray by his greed and his zipper. Ben (Douglas) once ruled a car-dealership empire vast enough to fuel a glossy Manhattan lifestyle and endow a library at an East Coast university. But by the time he arrives at the college with his girlfriend's daughter, Allyson (Imogen Poots), who is a prospective student, his world has collapsed around his ears. A business scandal has cost him his income and his marriage to Nancy (Susan Sarandon). His ever-present lust for every passing attractive woman threatens to take what little Ben has left. Even his new relationship with Jordan (Mary-Louise Parker) oscillates with tension. When Ben takes Allyson to tour the school, his motives are more than mixed.
Solitary Man flirts with comedy, especially in its whip-smart dialogue and some great scenes between Douglas and Danny DeVito, who plays an old friend. But there is a darker current running through the story. Directors Brian Koppelman and David Levien previously co-wrote both Ocean's Thirteen and The Girlfriend Experience for Steven Soderbergh. They understand both the pleasures of entertainment and the contours of character. As the film probes deeper into Ben's compulsions, it becomes a character study. Why did he leave a wife as gorgeous and soulful as Nancy? What does he have to prove in befriending a young college geek (Jesse Eisenberg)? And when it comes to so many of his indiscretions, quite simply, how could he? Douglas has never been

Take the Toys Out of Happy Meals?
Nothing is Sacred
McDonald's is a staple in the United States. You know, like apple pie, deep-fried Oreos, and pork rinds. Oh goodie!
So, it's hard to imagine people will react enthusiastically to proposed legislation in California, banning toys in fast food kids meals.
But, it's tough to make an argument against it. After all, we don't allow Joe Camel to sell cigarettes to kids, or Budweiser to booze up young children.
