Wednesday, June 6, 2012Here's the Scoop....
Kevin Costner and Stephen Baldwin are squaring off in a New Orleans court to hash out a lawsuit over investments in a device used to try to clean up BP's 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Baldwin is suing Costner claiming that Costner and a business partner duped Baldwin and a friend out of their shares of an $18 million deal for BP to buy oil-separating centrifuges after the April 2010 spill.
Potential jurors appeared starstruck by the pair. U.S. District Judge Martin L.C. Feldman cautioned, "celebrity has no place in this courtroom or in any of the issues that need to be resolved by the jury in this trial" and asked if Baldwin and Costner's status would compromise the jurors' decision making abilities. No one in the pool said they felt influenced.
Now, let's get to the rest of the nooz...

O'Connell to star as Herman in 'Munsters' rebootNBC has cast Jerry O'Connell as Herman Munster in "Mockingbird Lane," a remake of the classic American TV show "The Munsters." The show has been described as a dramatic reimagining of the 1960s sitcom about a family of monsters trying to fit into a middle-class human neighborhood. "We want this show to be an American Harry Potter," writer-producer Bryan Fuller recently told EW.com. "To have that sense of a magical world that you get to go to with your family and find stories told in a fantastical way that are instantly relatable. It's an 'American Horror Story' that the whole family can watch." O'Connell, who will play Frankenstein's monster-inspired Herman, began his career as a child actor in the film "Stand By Me."

Answer Below *All-Star Cast Announced for New Woody Allen FilmVeteran film director Woody Allen announced an all-star cast for his next yet-to-be-titled project, led by Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett, comedian Louis C.K. and actor Alec Baldwin.
Allen said the movie will be filmed this summer in New York and San Francisco - the first time the Oscar-winning director will use San Francisco as his backdrop since his directorial debut in 1969 with "Take The Money And Run."
The new project also sees Allen, 76, return to American soil after filming his last three projects in London, Paris and Rome, picking up a screenplay Oscar for "Midnight In Paris."
*LOOSE LIPS: "I look like s--t in half my photos, and I don't give a f--k." In an interview in the July issue of Vanity Fair, Kristen Stewart reacts to being criticized for being her usual non-happy self.
*DiCaprio was the Original Idea for the New Batman Villain You think Tom Hardy looks intimidating as the terrorist leader Bane in the new Batman movie? Imagine the terror that would have been inspired by Leonardo DiCaprio. Warner Brothers' first choice for the villain of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy finale was DiCaprio in the role of the Riddler. In an interesting twist, the DiCaprio proposal -- while ultimately unsuccessful for unknown reasons -- may have spawned other casting choices. You see, much of the "Inception" cast carries over into "Rises": Tom Hardy, Marion Cotillard, Michael Caine, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt who was originally thought to be cast as the Riddler.
