Topher Grace, a recent college grad with no direction, takes you on a wild chase as he goes in search to find the girls of his dreams, played by Teresa Palmer over Labor Day weekend. In this coming-of-age film – Grace, his twin sister (Anna Faris) and their best friend (Dan Fogler), try to cope with their daunting adulthood over the night as they all just graduated from college.

Grace stars in and produced his new romantic comedy “Take Me Home Tonight”. Grace and Michael Dowse (Director) draw inspiration for the film from iconic John Hughes films which was a huge part of Grace’s 80’s childhood - "Pretty in Pink", "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", "Sixteen Candles", "Weird Science".

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Grace states - "I was really bummed that they didn't make John Hughes movies anymore. There's something about twenty years, about when you get the antithesis of what was happening twenty years ago, meaning the fifties are opposite of the seventies ... when everyone has grown up ... it's just a twenty year cycle."

"Take Me Home Tonight," hits theaters this Friday, March 4th, 2011.

Nearly 20 years after Gus Van Sant released “My Own Private Idaho,” the director revisits the film in a joint exhibition with James Franco, entitled “Unfinished,” on view at the Gagosian Gallery in L.A. now through April 9, 2011.

"Unfinished" features the film, "My Own Private River", which is collaboration between Van Sant and Franco. The director and actor became interested in working on the project together while working on Van Sant’s Oscar-winning film, “Milk” (2008), Van Sant showed him the dailies and other footage that he had shot many years before for My Own Private Idaho (© 1991 New Line Cinema Corp. All rights reserved), which starred River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves as street hustlers in Portland, Oregon.

Much of this material did not make it into the final cut, and so Franco decided to fashion it into a new film, riffing off the original title. Franco, allegedly mesmerized by River Pheonix’s performance in the film, was inspired to splice together the outtakes into a new film, rather obviously titled "My Own Private River" with an accompanying soundtrack by Michael Stipe .

The film, accompanied by seven huge works on paper by Van Sant, which translate his acute directorial sensitivity with regard to human nuance and gesture in film into the immediacy of watercolor (check a few out after the jump). With the same subtle powers of observation that distinguish his filmmaking, he has created portraits of young men who recall characters in "My Own Private Idaho".

Working from photographic images found on the internet, Van Sant has created vivid impressions of his incidental icons, employing brushwork that alternates broad, limpid strokes with an assiduous attention to detail and a varied palette of both washed out tones and dense, electric hues.

Brandon Routh stars as Dylan Dog, a human paranormal investigator living in New Orleans who’s on a crusade to keep the supernatural creatures of the night shadows in line.

"Dylan Dog" is an Italian comic, but it is quite popular around the world. Dylan Dog has a “No Pulse - No Problem” attitude and will be Routh's third comic book-inspired role —he starred as Clark Kent, aka Superman, in Superman Returns, and had a supporting role as Todd Ingram in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World—and director Munroe has had nothing but praise for his portrayal of the character:

Dylan Dog is a character that brilliantly mixes charisma, affability, and hard-driven principles. I couldn’t be happier with Brandon’s portrayal—he meshed all of those aspects into a charming action hero, funny as he was ass-kicking. I can’t wait to share his work with the world.

In a statement to the press Routh explained why he thought Sclavi's stories offer themes that a global audience can identify with. "There's a lot of great humor elements as well as the action and the horror and the romance. All things which translate really well to our side of the globe."

Dylan Dog: Dead of Night was first announced way back in 2008, and now it's finally on the verge of arriving in theaters. The Kevin Munroe-directed adaptation of Tiziano Sclavi's comic book series "Dylan Dog" also stars Sam Huntington, Taye Diggs, and Anita Briem, and is set now for a wide theatrical release in the United States on April 29.

On Saturday Night (March 12th), The creators of the obsessed about NBC TV series "Freaks and Geeks" created by Paul Feig and starring comedic-geniuses Seth Rogen, James Franco and Jason Segel sat down at Paleyfest 2011 and revealed a few things about the short-lived, one-season long TV series -

The Hollywood Reporter, recounts 9-key secrets of the famed TV show -

1. “Freaks and Geeks” was NBC's lowest-rated show when it aired from 1999 to 2000.
2. “Freaks and Geeks” ran for 18 episodes "We shot the finale halfway through the season," Segel shared. "That's such a Jew thing to do," Apatow replied.
3. John Francis Daley, was 13 years old when he filmed “Freaks and Geeks” and experienced his first onscreen kiss. "First onscreen erection too, but no one talks about that," Daley deadpanned. (What?!) John Daley still believed in Santa Clause, Rogen joked. "I also didn't have pubic hair," Daley said. (Double what?!) Busy Philipps, currently starring on ABC's Cougar Town, had her first onscreen kiss with Franco.
4. Director Jake Kasdan detailed the auditioning process for the show, and though casting went on for weeks and weeks, there was one day where Linda Cardellini, Jason Segel and Franco all came in during the same session.
5. It was revealed that the network didn't want to air "Kim Kelly Is My Friend," and Samm Levine shared that the episode instead was broadcast on Fox Family Channel.
6. On set, the cast members recall Franco constantly carried around heavy books like Proust and Dante's Inferno. Busy Philipps also recalls when Franco, threw her to the ground during a scene. When she said her line and grabbed Franco, he went bonkers. " 'Don't you f---ing touch me!,' " Philipps recalled him saying. "And threw me to the ground." While it was happening, Rogen didn't know what was going on. "That story took 127 hours," Segel said to laughs. Apatow added: "[Franco] is method. He is the only one among all of you to be nominated for an Academy Award."
7. When Apatow got word that Freaks and Geeks would not be returning, Cardellini was about to appear on the Late Show With David Letterman to promote the series. Apatow called her beforehand and broke the news. "I said, 'Letterman's canceled?,' " Cardellini said laughing.
8. Apatow is known to use the same actors in his movies and TV projects, as witnessed by Segel and Rogen in both Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared. But it goes much further than that. "A lot of us have no higher education because of you," Segel joked to Apatow.
9. If Freaks and Geeks did return for a second round, Feig and Apatow had several ideas cooked up. Martin Starr's Bill was going to become a jock, Philipps' Kim was going to do a school play while pregnant and in the Season 2 premiere, Cardellini's Lindsay would be taken out of a Grateful Dead show on a stretcher.

Lady Gaga covers the Summer 2011 issue of i-D Magazine. This very Avant-Garde photo shoot with Mariano Vivancor, Gaga chooses to keep her implants that she debuted at the 2011 Grammy Awards. Although many of us assumed these new "implants" on Gaga's face might have been part of her costume for that one night, the songstress is stating that these are "her new marks". These “skin colored prosthetics on her face” give Gaga a rather disturbing look, but after-all that's how Gaga has managed to put $62 Million dollar-bills in the bank. You have to love Gaga for always being able to shock her audience.

To mark "Born This Way's" sixth consecutive week on top of the Billboard Hot 100 Charts, Lady GaGa has released a revamped southern-fried rendition of the song called "Born This Way (The Country Road Version)."
The 24-year-old singer released the song on her Twitter account as a surprise for fans:

“Born This Way is #1 for the 6th week in a row on Billboard, + hit #1 on TOP 40 too! You are so bad ass lil monsters: so I have a surprise!,” Gaga tweeted.

Lady G has transformed her single 'Born This way' into what has been dubbed "The Country Road Version," thanks to help from producer Fernando Garibay, who also produced the original track version of 'Born This Way.'

The new track has a prominent harmonica flavor and a soothing acoustic guitar blend that gives the melody a whole new context and lyrics: "If I wanna make it country, baby , then it's OK, cuz I was born, I was born, I was born this way. From London, Paris, Japan back to USA/ I was born on the road, I was born to be brave."

Always one full of surprises Lady Gaga, last night she showed up at Krave in Las Vegas and treated the lucky crowd to a live performance of “Born This Way.” Lady Gaga has a scheduled show at the MGM Grand tomorrow night.

Megan Fox has been named Giorgio Armani’s new Code woman and will appear in a series of print ads and video commercials to support the Armani Code fragrance campaign.

Mr. Armani has said that the scent is a 'sexy, femme fatale kind of perfume - a woman’s mysterious code of seduction revealed'. Armani Code Pour Femme has notes of orange, orange blossom, ginger, pear sorbet, jasmine, vanilla, woods and lavender honey.
