Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen has revealed that she is fed up with adults refusing to take her band The Pretty Reckless seriously just because she is a teenager. The 16-year-old actress shot to fame with a starring role in 2000 movie How The Grinch Stole Christmas, and she admitted that she has struggled to shake off her child-star tag. But the Underdog actress insisted that she is wise beyond her years – and that she is desperate for her rock band's efforts to be respected. She said: 'I think people don't really take me seriously because I'm 16. And they think most 16-year-olds don't know what they want to do. But I actually really do, because

Anna Faris, Dan Aykroyd, and Justin Timberlake are in negotiations for Warner Bros’ live-action/CGI hybrid feature Yogi Bear.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Faris will play Rachel, a nature documentary filmmaker shooting Yogi and Boo-Boo for her next project. Though her last movie was voice work for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Faris’ character will be a live-action performance.
Aykroyd will lend the voice of Yogi Bear, the picnic basket-stealing menace to Jellystone Park. Timberlake will provide the vocals for Boo-Boo, his bow-tied sidekick. Both bears are expected to remain pantless. No word on which lucky actor gets to play the Park Ranger. Is Jason Lee available for a paycheck?
WB is planning to shoot it in New Zealand next month with director Eric Bravig (Journey to the Center of the Earth). I bet you can’t wait to hear the range Timberlake exhibits in this one. Shrek the Third

Well the 2009 summer movie season is over for Hasbro and it has been financially successful. Transformers 2 has milked the entire world economy of over $800 million dollars, while G.I. Joe managed to drain the globe of $100 million this past weekend. So what does that mean for Hasbro their future releases?
Well Steve “Frosty” Weintraub over at Collider managed to catch Brian Goldner, President and C.E.O of Hasbro, before a special screening of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and got some interesting answers about a few upcoming projects: Stretch Armstrong, Candy Land, Battleship and Monopoly.

Stretch Armstrong
First up is Stretch Armstrong, the toy no one played with (seriously do you know anyone that owned one when you were a kid?). According to Goldner, Stretch will be the first movie released out of the lot, with a planned release of 2011. Now I know what you are thinking,

It's a good day for funny people, especially if your name is Tina Fey or Seth MacFarlane.
Fey's series, 30 Rock, was handed 22 Emmy nominations this morning, which stands as a record for a comedy series. She and Alec Baldwin were also nominated for acting awards. Plus, for the first time some of the other actors on NBC's laffer were recognized. Jane Krakowski, Jack McBrayer and Tracy Morgan all picked up supporting nominations.
MacFarlane's Family Guy was also nominated for best comedy series, the first time an animated show has cracked that category since The Flintstones in 1961. Two years ago MacFarlane decided to pull his show from contention in the animated series category to have it considered for best comedy.
Mad Men, the drama about the advertising world in the sixties, picked up 16 nominations in the drama categories, including a best actor nod for Jon Hamm. Hamm is also nominated as

Where’s Waldo Movie: Apocalypto Easter Egg Turned Feature Film?

Alright now I know there have been a lot of ridiculous licensed movies popping up in the trades lately; everything from board games to toys to Bazooka Joe [1]. Amazingly, these hare-brained ideas just keep multiplying, and this week The Hollywood Reporter [2] tells us that a Where's Waldo movie is being set up over at Universal. That's right, a movie based on the series of children's books with no story at all, just large illustrated scenes with a guy in a red and white striped shirt hidden somewhere in them. On the big screen. Sounds thrilling.
The movie will be a live-action family adventure of sorts, with Waldo and his dog Woof stumbling across a malfunctioning travel machine. Eric Ellenbogen (Underdog) will executive produce through Christopher Meledandri's company Illumination Entertainment, who are also doing Ricky Gervais's Flanimals film [3].
Believe it or not, this project has been around for a few years now,
