“Tom Cruise And Reese Witherspoon To Be In A Movie Together” should be a strong enough headline to propel any production and get some attention from the mass audience. After all, the two actors are some of the biggest stars of the last 20 years. So when news broke in March  that they would be doing a movie together set in the world of rodeo it was big enough news. Apparently someone might not think there is enough star-power there.

Access Hollywood reports that Cruise was recently seen with Will Smith and a host of others at a restaurant where they were holding a table read for the aforementioned rodeo movie, titled Paper Wings. In addition to Smith, the other actors included Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Eric Dane, Tom Arnold, Johnny Galecki and Jenna Elfman. A representative for Smith’s company, which is producing the film, was quick to push down any prospective rumors, however, saying that “any actor’s presence at this table read does not mean that they have officially signed onto this project.”

It’s entirely possible that Smith was only there to oversee the table read as a producer as the report doesn’t say whether or not the actor was going over lines, but don’t you kind of hope that he will be involved? As unpopular as he is at the moment, Cruise still knows how to put on a terrific performance and seeing him act alongside a guy like Smith could remind an audience of that. Considering the actor is a bit busy with over 30 projects in development it’s not something I would put money on, but it would be good to see nonetheless.

“The Karate Kid” beat “The A-Team” in a battle of the remakes.

It looks like Jaden Smith has his fathers magic at the box office.

Sony’s remake of 1984′s “The Karate Kid” debuted at No. 1 for the weekend with a whopping $56 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The big-screen adaptation of the 1980s TV series “The A-Team” came in at less than half that, the 20th Century Fox release opening in second place with $26 million.

With a relatively modest production budget of $40 million, “The Karate Kid” far exceeded the studio’s expectations. Early on, Sony executives would have been happy if the movie opened to half its $56 million debut weekend, said Rory Bruer, the studio’s head of distribution.

Those expectations began to rise once the studio realized it had a crowd-pleaser on its hands, Bruer said.

“It’s just an unmitigated grand slam hit,” said Bruer, who also worked on distribution for the 1984 version. “I loved the original `Karate Kid,’ but they took this beloved title, and they made it relevant, fresh and absolutely exciting.”

Will Smith looks to don a pair of black shades again, but this time of the 3D variety.

Sony announced “Men in Black III” will get the 3D treatment set for release May 25, 2012.

The “Men in Black” franchise has grossed worldwide north of $1 billion collectively.

Production for the third installment is set begin this fall, with Tommy Lee Jones in advanced negotiations to reprise his role as Agent Kay. Josh Brolin also is in talks to star as a young Agent Kay.

Will Smith has been causing problems on the set of HawthoRNe.

Sources have said that The Fresh Prince Will Smith has been getting fresh on the set of Jada Pinkett’s show HawthoRNe.

The cast of the show just returned on set after an inconvenient eight day hiatus. Sources have said the eight day break was due to an illness in the Smith’s Family, while an inside source has said it was instructed by TNT Nework to sort out production complications, that was supposedly caused by Mr. Smith.

Smith, a co-producer of HawthoRNe reportedly hasn’t been collaborating well with the other executives.

“He is not currently shooting a movie, so he’s been a constant on the set in recent weeks,” the network source says. “He’s been inserting his input and requesting so many changes to the script that it pushed back the production schedule tremendously and caused everything to spiral out of control.”

He added, “Everyone is praying for him to book a new movie so that he will go away.”

If the reports according to Variety are true then Smith is reportedly deciding between making the third installment to Men in Black” or a new role in Fox’s fantasy-adventure The City That Sailed.

Tom and Katie haven’t weaned Suri from a bottle and she’s four years old. Is this something to be worried about? Doctors suggest weaning a child from a bottle by the age of one. Same thing holds true for breastfeeding. Does a bottle harm a child once they turn that magical age?

Both of my children self weaned before they were two because we offered them spill proof sippy cups. They have since graduated to spill proof straw cups until they have mastered the art of keeping a cup upright. So, do I think a 4 year old is too old for a bottle? Every parent should know there child so I can only hope they are doing whats best for Suri. Would a 4 year old drink a bottle in my house? Probably not but only because kids have a tendency to mimic what they see and we have two older children that are bottle free.

I wouldn’t come out and say that Tom and Katie are doing a bad job of parenting but I do think they should take a look around them. Suri is 4 years old and she’s already being teased by the cruel world. I would hope they are already teaching her some fabulous comebacks to say to those cruel “kids” she’ll run into every day.

I’ve heard some people knocking Scientology for trusting that our children know their own bodies. My boys knew when they had enough of bottle or breast and they gradually weaned themselves. Children trust their bodies a lot more than adults trust their own bodies. That’s because we have spent many years not trusting ourselves and being taught that our bodies must meet some criteria set by “important” people. I have yet to encounter a child, barring health issues, would indulge themselves in sweets 24/7/365 if given a choice. Even the children that are restricted from candy except on occasion would eventually turn to food that is healthier for them.

What do you think about Suri using a bottle?

Suri Cruise is set to get a sibling, as mother Katie Holmes is preparing for her second child with Scientology lessons.

The 31-year-old actress has been undergoing intense Scientology “auditing” and is “being prepared” for her second with husband Tom Cruise, who is also a high-priest of the religion, reported the New York Post.

After promoting the Kevin Kline movie The Extra Man, and The Romantics, at Sundance, Holmes is back to spending hours at the Hollywood Scientology Center.

“This is exactly what happened just before she got pregnant with Suri. Tom has made no secret of the fact that he would like another baby. It is almost as if she is being prepared for it,” said a source close to the couple.

Scientologists believe the “health and the sanity of the child begin long before birth,” according to a church-run Web site, which campaigns for silent birth.

A report that Tom Cruise was injured in Hollywood on Oscars Sunday has yet to be confirmed.

The report had Cruise injured slightly in a motorcycle accident when he tried to avoid colliding with a car outside a restaurant in Los Angeles.

The Knight and Day star, 47, was noticeably absent from the Academy Awards ceremony playing out in Hollywood.

But according to one website, Gossip Cop, sources close to the star have confirmed the reports are false. The source of the confirmation was clarified as a rep for his wife, Katie Holmes. Cruise’s representative could not be reached, the website reports.

According to a report carried in the New York Daily News, Cruise was forced to veer his red Ducati after an SUV ran a stop sign, causing his bike to spin out of control. The newspaper traced the report to HollywoodLife.com.

‘It was like a scene from Mission Impossible,’ a witness was quoted as saying.

The report claims Cruise struggled to his feet and appeared to limp slightly. Five people ran to help him. Cruise then sat outside KOI Restaurant on La Cienega Boulevard and made at least two phone calls as he waited for paramedics to arrive, witnesses said.

It has been three years ago that we first heard of Tom Cruise and Ben Stiller teaming for “The Hardy Men” comedy, based on the literary detective brothers The Hardy Boys.

Writer Simon Kinberg (X-Men: The Last Stand, Sherlock Holmes) and director Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum) have been attached for years, but according to Levy, very little progress has been made. There isn’t even a storyline in place.

“Developing a movie for a movie star is hard. Developing a movie for two movie stars is a very, very challenging enterprise,” he explained. “The bull’s eye is small and the tone has to be exactly right. So we are still working on it.”

The film adaptation would explore the reunion of the estranged, grown-up brothers, who work together to solve a new mystery.

Oranges is a somewhat kinky (Think American Beauty) script built around an older man who has an affair with the daughter of friends.

Doesn’t sound like prime Hugh Laurie material, but the veteran comic actor, having come into his own with TV’s House, may want to flex his acting muscles and take a swipe at a big screen career, something that’s evaded him.

The LAT Times 24 Frames blog says that Leighton Meester and Mila Kunis are in talks to play the female lead.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith hosted a special Nobel Peace Prize concert in Oslo, Norway Friday, December 11. Bringing their children along for the celebration, which included an acceptance speech from Barack Obama, the Smith’s shared the stage with Willow and Jaden. Wyclef Jean, Natasha Bedingfield and Luis Fonsi also took part in the concert.
