Djimon Hounsou Joins Bradley Cooper in Paradise Lost

Sure, we’ve already gotten a sneak peak of what Bradley Cooper could look like as the devil in Paradise Lost, but that doesn’t mean Legendary Pictures is done casting their adaptation of the John Milton novel. Just today, Oscar-nominated actor Djimon Hounsou joined the Alex Proyas-directed production as Abdiel, the angel of death. If Paradise Lost still needs an archangel of divine street fights, may we suggest Ryan Gosling? [Variety]

Terminator Twitter Account Mistakenly Looking for 'Sarah Conner'

Looks like the Terminator has taken his dogged search for the mother of the future savior of mankind to the Twitterverse, where he’s going through every Sarah on Twitter, one by one. (That is, when he’s not telling the T-1000 to suck it in binary.) There’s just one problem: The social media-savvy T-800 is looking for “Sarah Conner,” not Sarah Connor. Oops! Proof he’ll become obsolete soon enough? [@111001001101010]

Kellan Lutz revealed that his buddy Robert Pattinson has casually discussed the prospect of becoming a fashion designer. Now that’s exciting: Who wouldn’t want to buy a scarf or puka shell necklace from the label Vampy Pattz or Cullen’s Collective or whatever? I’m in. And better yet, I’m helping R-Pattz on the way to his goal of becoming the next Christian Dior/Jon Gosselin. Here are ten fashionable items he should hawk. 1. Sweatproof sternum glitter 2. “Soulless vampire void” contact lenses 3. Bikini briefs with “goblet of fire” codpiece. 4. Butter-colored sunblock (for all your butter-colored vampire sex scenes) 5. THE STOLI T. 6. Tiny Water for Elephants ringmaster hat that doesn’t disturb your artfully disheveled haircut 7. “Remember Me suspenders” emblazoned with billowing, hand-knit twin towers 8. Quidditch-safe culottes for men 9. Insulting “Team Jacob” polka dot vest with faux-fur wolf pendant 10. Reputation-recouping “I Really Don’t Hang Out Much With Kellan Lutz” t-shirts Any more design proposals out there? Robert Pattinson’s Next Role: Fashion Designer? [E!]

Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon dive into Mud

Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon will star in Mud for director Jeff Nichols, it has been announced.The perky blond twosome have signed up for the lead roles in what sounds like a whimsical drama from the Shotgun Stories and Take Shelter director.Mud will see McConaughey playing a fugitive, who is aided by a young boy (The Tree Of Life's Tye Sheridan) in a mission to escape a Mississippi island to be reunited with his beloved Juniper (Witherspoon).McConaughy got a recent credibility boost with his role in The Lincoln Lawyer, and he'll shoot The Paperboy with director Lee Precious Daniels before starting work on this one. He has also wrapped work on Richard Linklater's Bernie.Witherspoon showed off her old-school class in Water For Elephants, and she has recently shot McG-directed romcom This Means War with Tom Hardy and Chris Pine.Only this week she was linked to magical Disney comedy Wish List about a woman whose childhood wishes come true a couple of decades late.Working with Nichols could be a good move for McConaughey and Witherspoon, as both have been guilty of falling into oversweet fluff in the past. Here's hoping the director give the pair something with a little edge...

So You Think You Can Dance: Who Made the Final 4?

So You Think You Can Dance Thursday night's elimination show was the dancers' last chance to prove they're worthy of moving on to So You Think You Can Dance Season 8 finale. Whose dreams were dashed? Who still has a chance to be named America's Favorite Dancer? The good news first: Melanie is safe, which is no surprise. Joining her in the finale is Marko, her partner in the pre-Top 10 portion of the competition. (Their statue dance is still easily one of the best routines of the season.) So You Think You Can Dance performance photos Sasha, the other female "beast" this season is also safe, which means it's bye-bye Caitlynn, who danced an amazingly angst-y but mature Sonya Tayeh routine Wednesday. After a performance from American Idol finalist Pia Toscano, we find out which other guy is safe ... and it's Tadd! His fans didn't hate that chandelier number after all. That means Ricky is gone. So long, Ricky! We'll see you and Caitlynn both on tour. Who do you think will win next week?
