Josh Brolin is George W. Bush Thu, 08 May 2008
Here is the first picture of Josh Brolin as George W. Bush and Elizabeth Banks as the First Lady Laura Bush! The pair is featured on the cover of this week’s cover of Entertainment Weekly for their new film W.
The GWB biopic will chronicle the life and presidency of the 43rd President of the United States of America. Bush is reportedly portrayed in the film as a foul-mouthed, reformed drunk obsessed with baseball, Saddam Hussein and the conflicted relationship with his dad.
Directing is Oliver Stone, whose film credits include Nixon and JFK. He loves them presidential movies!
Here’s the rest of the cast: Thandie Newton as National Security Advisor turned secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Ioan Gruffudd as Tony Blair, Rob Corddry as Ari Fleischer, James Cromwell as George Herbert Walker Bush, Ellen Burstyn as Barbara Bush and Jeffrey Wright as General Colin Powell.

Ryan Reynolds: Practice Your Verbal Judo Sat, 16 February 2008
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!
