Missy Elliott Joins Cast Of Pharrell Williams Musical - The latest casting for director Michel Gondry and producer Pharrell Williams' new, not yet titled Universal Pictures feature? Missy Elliot! The Grammy-winning artist's role is still under wraps, just like all the other roles are. She'll be working alongside previously announced castmembers such as Halle Bailey, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Da'Vine Joy Randolph and Brian Tyree Henry. We don't know too much about the film just yet, but we do know that it's set in Virginia Beach during the summer of 1977.

Jennifer Connelly Says She's Up For "Top Gun 3": With "Top Gun: Maverick" taking over the world in 2022, what's the status - and is there a status - on "Top Gun 3?" Jerry Bruckheimer, producer of the first two "Top Gun" films, said last month that an idea for a third movie was pitched to Tom Cruise, and he liked it, but "he's a very in-demand actor and he's got a lot of movies lined up, so we have to wait and see." What about the rest of the cast? Co-stars Miles Teller and Glen Powell have already said they'd be interested in returning, and now Jennifer Connelly, who played love interest Penny Benjamin in the sequel has also chimed in that she'd be on board if a third movie comes together. Connelly told "ET," "I'll be there. I'm ready," when asked what her level of interest was in returning to the role. She also pointed to her positive experience filming "Top Gun: Maverick" as the reason why she would return to the film series, saying, "We had such a great time shooting it. It was fun." Looks like it rests on Tom Cruise's very busy shoulders if a third Top Gun movie is to be.

On a recent trip to Italy, room service delivered his cutlery encased in Jell-O, and now Wilson's worried that by posting a pic on Instagram, copycat pranks are inevitable.

As Dwight Schrute would have told Wilson, you admit a gag is getting to you - that's just going to bring about more of the same.

Motley Crue Teases Another "Secret" Club Show Under A Fake Name - Last year, Motley Crue played a gig at the small Underworld club in London under the name “Dogs of War.” Now that their new single, also named “Dogs of War,” is out, it looks like the band is going to do it again under another fake name. The band posted a flyer on social media for a show on May 6th at New York’s Bowery Ballroom for a concert by the band “1981”…which is Crue. The show’s happening right after the rockers finish up a two-night stand in Atlantic City to start their 2024 tour, so it makes sense. Tickets for the “secret” show go on sale Friday.
