Gibson to revamp image with movie
LOS ANGELES — It worked with Mike Tyson in "The Hangover." But can director Todd Phillips make a celebrity cameo uncomfortably funny with a much more, er, complicated figure?
The New York Post reported Monday that Mel Gibson will play a Bangkok tattoo artist in "The Hangover 2." Two people close to the production confirmed to the Los Angeles Times that Gibson will play an American expat living in Thailand.
Gibson and Phillips have not worked together before, but the director is clearly hoping that the riff on real-life events will elevate the laugh factor — and the shock value — of his movie. Gibson, meanwhile, is no doubt banking that a little self-referential humor could rehab a screen career that needs all the help it can get.
It's unclear if the purported tattoo artist is a totally fictional character or if Gibson will be playing himself, banished to tattoo artistry in the wake of his scandal. Either way, the casting news raises inevitable distinctions between Tyson, who was generally seen as a troubled but liked figure at the moment "Hangover" came out, and Gibson, who still rankles many. A lot can happen in seven months — the movie is set to come out in May.

Star saysTwilight best is yet to come
MOVIES
LOS ANGELES — "Twilight" fans love to debate their favorite novel in Stephanie Meyer's bestselling vampire series. Kristen Stewart says she has her own favorite — and it's the most explicit and intense of the bunch.
"This one's really good. This one really goes there, finally," said the actress who plays the iconic Bella Swan of "Breaking Dawn." "This one is like the forming of a family. You see everything really come to fruition because I feel like (Bella) has sort of gone through an accelerated growth period."
In November, Stewart will reprise the Bella role when she begins filming the first half of "Breaking Dawn," the fourth movie in the "Twilight" franchise, which will be directed by Bill Condon. The story follows Bella's marriage to vampire Edward Cullen (Rob Pattinson), as the two finally consummate their relationship and Bella becomes pregnant.
"At this point," Stewart says, you do accept (Bella) as a mom."
Because their child is half-human and half-vampire, Bella's pregnancy is riddled with complications — all leading up to a dramatic birth scene, in which Edward tears open Bella's stomach with his teeth to save their baby.

you'll have to wait a few years for the next collection of antics from Johnny Knoxville and the "Jackass" crew? Don't fret. It will likely be only a few months.
After the blockbuster opening of "Jackass 3-D" which sold $50.4 million in tickets in the U.S. and Canada over the weekend, Paramount Pictures is considering what to do with a wealth of footage that didn't make the big-screen cut.
One option is a second theatrical release, which would let fans see it as it was shot.
