Little Miss Sunshine breakout star Abigail Breslin plays it cute in a few skirts on the set of her new film, My Sister’s Keeper, in Pasadena, Calif. on Thursday.

My Sister’s Keeper is a movie about a young girl who sues her parents for the right to make her own decisions about how her body is used when a kidney transplant is planned in order to potentially save her older sister. The Notebook’s Nick Cassavetes will direct.

According to Wiki, Dakota and Elle Fanning were originally set to play the sisters but Dakota changed her mind when she found out she would have to shave her head to play the leukemia-suffering character of Kate. Elle dropped out along with her sister, and they were replaced with Sofia Vassilieva (pictured below) and Breslin.

DO YOU THINK Sofia’s head is really bald or she’s wearing a bald cap?

Ryan Reynolds spends time in New York City promoting his latest romantic comedy, Definitely, Maybe, which has garnered a mediocre 64% on RottenTomatoes.com. (Ryan is back in Los Angeles already.)

Here’s what two respectable publications had to say about the film:

New York Times: “Definitely, Maybe, written and directed by Adam Brooks, is a nimble and winning little romance.”

Hollywood Reporter: “Strong acting from Ryan Reynolds and Abigail Breslin.”

While in the Big Apple, Ryan made an appearance on Live with Regis & Kelly!. How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris filled in for Regis. You can watch a clip here.

Co-host Kelly Ripa asked Ryan if he was always a funny guy. Ryan joked, “I’m the youngest of four brothers, so I’m really more of moving target than a brother. You have to learn your verbal judo early to get your punches in.”

HIIII-YAH!

Here are the very first two movie stills from Nim’s Island featuring Gerard Butler, Jodie Foster and Abigail Breslin.

Gerard plays scientist dad Jack, Breslin is his plucky daughter Nim and Foster plays a reclusive San Francisco author. Here are some snippets of Gerard’s interview with USA Today:

On his character researching plankton while keeping pesky pelicans at bay: “One time, I was sitting, talking to a pelican, and he goes behind me and flaps his wings,” he says. “I looked like an angel on camera. I was sure he was going to nip me or rip my ear off.”

On his secondary role as the imaginary literary alter ego of Foster’s character: “When Nim reads a book about Alex Rover, suddenly I’m in an Arabian desert with evil captors, or I’m being tied up by African tribesmen. (He uses an American accent for Jack and his Scottish burr for Alex.)

On spending time with the young Oscar nominee: “Nim and her dad are best buddies. I don’t think I could have done it as well with someone who didn’t have Abigail’s special talents. I learned a lot from her, how she would embrace an idea and go for it.”

On going nearly bankrupt after Breslin embraced the idea of a “swear pot”: “Me being from Scotland, I have a bit of a foul mouth. She fined me $2 each time. If I gave her extra, she would forget and not count it. It was hard to argue with her.”
