Amy Adams
Amy Adams will take on the iconic role of Lois Lane in the upcoming Superman reboot, the Los Angeles Times reports.
"There was a big, giant search for Lois," director Zack Snyder told the newspaper. "For us it was a big thing and obviously a really important role. We did a lot of auditioning but we had this meeting with Amy Adams and after that I just...

I bet all you Meredith-haters screamed "Yes!" when Cristina said: "Everything is not about you, Meredith." I would've laughed harder had they not used it in the coming attractions and promos, but either way, that was a good line regardless of how you feel about Meredith. I personally enjoyed Meredith tonight in this commitment-themed episode — especially in the closing scene when she finished Derek's sentence by suggesting he "take some space" and clear his head, as if she understood, followed by her "I'm here for you" to Cristina. How about that troublemaker sister of Derek's, though? Seems like Nancy flew in to town just to stir the pot, but I liked that she and Derek played nice at the end, even after she admitted to being one of the many women who had slept with Mark Sloan. Lame opening scene, though, with Meredith's barging in to the trailer as Derek's standing in just a towel and not immediately telling (the "slutty intern") Meredith, "She's my sister." That was Embeth Da...

Junebug
He captures the hearts of The O.C.'s faithful as Ryan Atwood, but Ben McKenzie wants the rest of America to know that he's not just that guy on Fox's popular teen drama. In fact, when fans hit theaters (in select cities) this weekend to check out his feature-film debut, Junebug, they'll be surprised to learn that their beloved boy-next-door is nowhere to be found. It may be difficult, McKenzie reasons, even to recognize him at first glance. The Texas native went back to his roots to play Johnny, a young man who struggles to make do while still living under his parents' roof with his pregnant wife and the rest of his "difficult" family. McKenzie acknowledges that his character isn't very likable, but says he could relate to Johnny nonetheless.
"I've heard a couple of comments about [Johnny], people sayin
