Sony Pictures Entertainment has acquired "The B Team," a spec pitch package for an Adam McKay-directed action comedy that will team Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg as cops, with Chris Henchy and McKay writing the script.
Pic will be a co-production between Gary Sanchez Productions and Mosaic. Sony has not set a release date on the film, but it is expected to go into production as quickly as the filmmakers can get it ready.

I'm hearing reports that Jessica Simpson has fired her band, called off her tour and is taking a year off from the music business. I don't have any clear confirmations yet, but I would think this means things are perhaps getting more serious with Tony Romo, perhaps wedding serious.

Nicole Kidman has sparked pregnancy rumors after she wore a black loose-fitted dress to the premiere of Australia in Tokyo. She had her hands resting on her tummy. Kidman already has a 7 month old daughter Sunday Rose.
The rumors began at the Oscars but I really can't see her and Keith Urban having another kid this early. I mean he is preparing to tour and she's been crazy busy with her upcoming roles. For a bump to be showing now it would mean she's a couple months along, I just don't think this one is true.

Lisa Rinna likes being naked and thinks she's pretty hot.
"While I'm definitely a product of this mindset, I don't get all the fuss our society has over people's weight," actress Lisa Rinna told PEOPLE Tuesday night during Kate Somerville's skin care launch at the Four Seasons Resort in Palm Beach. "I am more comfortable being nude than hosting an event like this."
The actress believes she looks better now than she did at 34 when she posed for Playboy while pregnant. Well, she WAS pregnant than so I'm not sure she should compare notes.

"I wanna make popular music, but I want less fans. I want the freedom of having less fans. It's like the freedom of having less money. If you have less money, you have less responsibility. It's like Bjork. If she wanted to pose naked, you'd be like, 'Oh, that's Bjork.' But if I wanted to pose naked, people would draw all type of things into it. I definitely feel like, in the next however many years, if I work out for two months, that I'll pose naked. I break every rule and mentality of hip-hop, of black culture, of American culture." - Kanye West in the new issue of Vibe*~*~*

And his timing couldn't be better. Word on the street is that one of the show's major stars has asked to leave the series at the end of the current season.
Apparently, the Heroes cast member is upset with not getting enough screen time and is asking to be let go of his or her contract at the end of the season. And in order for that to happen, a death scene has reportedly been written for the actor's character at the conclusion of season 3.

Nicole Kidman isn't happy with her performance in "Australia," which pulled in just $47 million at the US box office. "I can't look at this movie and be proud of what I've done," the Oscar-winner recently told a radio station in Sydney. As soon as the film opened in November, Kidman fled her native land to avoid the critics: "We ran because I didn't want to read anything. I didn't want to know."
