We're still half a year away from the 85th annual Academy Awards, but it turns out the host and producer were almost already decided.

The Los Angeles Times and Deadline offer up two different versions of the events, and it's unclear whether Fallon is still a contender for the position now that Sherak is gone. Apparently one of the big issues...

By Jocelyn Vena Michael Madsen has had the pleasure of lending his respective talents to some of Quentin Tarantino's most iconic flicks, "Reservoir Dogs" and both "Kill Bill" movies. Now, regarding his roles in those films, there's always chatter that he just might get the chance to reprise his roles of Mr. Blonde and Budd. It's chatter Madsen has heard, but in his meetings with Tarantino in the last few years hasn't been able to nail down any confirmations regarding a third "Kill Bill" film, or the Vega Brothers flick, which would follow...

by Zachary Swickey As British singer songwriter Ellie Goulding nears the October release date of her new album Halycon, she is slowly but surely giving us a taste of the upcoming effort.

Will Ferrell is reuniting with "Wedding Crashers" stars Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn in the upcoming comedy "The Internship," though at least they won't be crashing funerals this time around. Instead, Ferrell will reportedly be playing a home electronics salesman who really, really loves the ladies, though he doesn't necessarily rev their engines as much as he might like.

He's uploaded a video of himself crooning to his official YouTube channel, joining the U.S. swim team in its attempt to have a little viral fun with a Youtube cover of a pop hit. And what song is the 2008 gold medalist showcasing for all of his fans? Beyonce's "Single Ladies," of course.

By Zachary Swickey As big fans of British singer songwriter Lily Allen's quirky music sensibilities, we're anxiously awaiting the third album from the star. But alas, it appears that we will never have a new Lily Allen record … Because the pop star has now officially changed her name to Lily Rose Cooper. Lily's announcement is not a big surprise.
