• Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen tied with Ice Age 3-D at the holiday weekend box office, both scoring $42.5 million. It seems America had a hard time deciding between the dim-witted CGI robots or the dim-witted CGI animals.
• Sources confirmed that Harry Potter star Rupert Grint has contracted swine flu.
• The first photos of Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie in the Runaways movie have surfaced. Newsdesk remains unconvinced that anyone in Fanning's target demo cares about this movie.
• Megan Fox and Michael Bay have been engaged in a war of words over the quality of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Whichever side you're on here, you lose.
• Tim Meadows has joined the cast of the Adam Sandler/David Spade/Norm MacDonald/Colin Quinn comedy Grown Ups. Add Melanie Hutsell to the mix and you've pretty much got the entire Saturday Night Live cast circa 1994.
• T.J. Hooker is headed for the big screen courtesy of director Chuck Russell (The Mask). Shatner better score a cameo in this one to make up for the Star Trek diss. You can't hang the entire movie on Heather Locklear.
• Brandon Routh's contract to play Superman has reportedly expired. Get ready for Shatner in tights!
