Watts to play Princess Di; Rock Icons' bands to join Hall

Princess Watts? A lot of speculation swirled around this one. Naomi Watts, who has played leading in roles in ‘King Kong’, ‘The Ring’ and ‘Eastern Promises’, will play Princess Diana in Oliver Hirschbiegel’s biopic film about the Princess of Wales. The film, ‘Caught in Flight’, will focus on the last two years of the British icon’s life, and is set to go into production later this year. Read more here

Sharing the love Buddy Holly, James Brown and Gene Vincent are already in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but what about the guys that helped them evolve into the icons they became?

Previously announced this year: Beastie Boys, Donovan, Guns N’ Roses, Laura Nyro, Red Hot Chili Peppers and a few more. Read it here

It’s not a tumah! No, really, it isn’t.

Tragedies happen. 'House' is getting the ax

"House" won't return for a ninth season, Variety reports. "House" wasn't an instant hit when it debuted in 2004. (Wonder if it had anything to do with the good doctor's bedside manner?") Eventually, the show grew into a winner for Fox. Over the past couple of seasons, the audience dropped and productions costs didn't, according to Variety. As Dr. Gregory House has said, "Welcome to the end of the thought process."

Colbert's Super PAC raises $1 mil; Ferris Bueller's ad

SUPER PAC IS WHERE IT'S AT: Stephen Colbert's Super PAC has raised more than $1 million, according to an announcement on the PAC's website. $1,023,121.24 to be exact, There is even a link to the actual FEC filing on the site with actual donors. "What's the point?" you ask. The super PAC — once known as the “The Definitely Not Coordinating With Stephen Colbert Super PAC,” then the “Colbert Super PAC,” but officially as “Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow” — raised money from viewers to fund things like a commercial shown in South Carolina that equated Mitt Romney with a serial killer, reports The Caucus, a New York Times blog.

SAG Awards 2012; Sedgwick's family tattoo

SCREEN ACTORS GUILD AWARDS: For the regular Joe, the Screen Actors Guild Awards is sort of the Preakness Stakes in the Triple Crown of Hollywood awards shows. It matters but is far less hyped than the show that precedes it (the Golden Globes) and the one that follows (the Academy Awards). Still, the show is seen as a predictor for who will take home an Oscar. All four acting recipients at SAG last year later took home Oscars - Colin Firth for "The King's Speech," Natalie Portman for "Black Swan" and Christian Bale and Melissa Leo for "The Fighter." This year the SAG awards featured some unexpected winners, including "The Help" for best overall cast performance, Jean Dujardin for best actor in "The Artist" and Christopher Plummer for best supporting actor in "Beginners" alongside some of the longtime favorites in movies and television, including Mary Tyler Moore, whom the guild gave its lifetime achievement award. (By the way, if Plummer wins an Academy Award next month he'll be the oldest actor to ever to take home an Oscar.) Read more about the awards show. For a full list of winners, try here. Watch the acceptance from the cast of "The Help," with Viola Davis, who won best actress, speaking:

SEDGWICK'S NEW INK: Kyra Sedgwick showed off her new family tattoo on the red carpet at the Screen Actors Guild awards show. The shape includes the initials of her family -- Kyra, husband Kevin Bacon, and their children, Travis and Sosie. Check out the photo and story.

BOX-OFFICE TOPS: Liam Neeson's "The Grey" topped the weekend box office with $20 million, according to studio estimates Sunday, continuing the actor's success as as an action star in the winter months. Here are the top five winners from the weekend:
1. "The Grey," $20 million.
2. "Underworld: Awakening," $12.5 million.
3. "One for the Money," $11.8 million.
4. "Red Tails," $10.4 million.
5. "Man on a Ledge," $8.3 million.

Demi Moore's 911 call released; 'Welcome Back Kotter' star dies

UPDATE: DEMI MOORE 911 CALL RELEASED: Sounds like Demi Moore smoked some Spice, but who knows. On the 911 recording released by Los Angeles fire officials, a woman says Demi smoked something that's like marijuana but isn't marijuana and similar to incense, which led to "shaking, convulsing, burning up." The woman also says Demi had been taking other stuff and having "issues" lately. We're feeling for Demi, but we're still irreverent enough to share a video of the call set to the score of "MoneyBall." (Before anyone blows a gasket over it being "too soon," we've also posted the actual call below the remix.) Read more about the call.
