Terrence Howard still upset about being dropped from Iron-Man 2


Terrence Howard is not pleased he was replaced in the "Iron Man" sequel over a reported salary dispute.

"Marvel made a choice, and it was a very, very bad choice," the actor -- whose role was given to Don Cheadle -- tells Parade.com. "They didn't keep their word. They didn't honor my contract."


Howard says producers didn't share the profits of the flick -- which earned over $318 million -- with most of the actors.

50 Cent loses movie role to Terry Crews


When Curtis Jackson's new album is called HTML Hataz, know that he is talking about you, the internet masses who cried out in pain when it was announced that he would replace Forrest Whitaker in Sylvester Stallone's gimmicky new film The Expendables. The outcry was enough that, just a few days after the announcement, 50 Cent was off the movie and the angelic Terry Crews was in.

Good work, internet. Terry Crews is amazing. His participation in this movie may actually make it watchable. Unlike many of you, I've been fearing The Expendables. For a number of reasons:

- Stallone is self-destructive. Look at his career. He will make one or two good - nay, GREAT! - movies and then follow them up with complete shit. His filmography is like a yo-yo (and no, I'm not taking into account Stallone movies that are 'so bad they're good.' I'm just talking about really, honestly good Stallone movies). Sly has made two really, really good movies in a row. It's time to shit on that streak, and I know he'll do it.

Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock is ready for his Hollywood Leading Man role


Yep, He’s Big
By BROOKS BARNES

LOS ANGELES

WITH his Paul Bunyan physique and Central Casting good looks, Dwayne Johnson, known until recently as the Rock, always turns heads. But as he bulldozed his way down the red carpet at last month’s Grammy Awards, Mr. Johnson — a football player turned professional wrestler turned movie star — got noticed for a less polite reason.

What on earth was the Rock doing at the Grammys?
