Movies, take one: Disney's Marvel Studios has begun production on the sequel to "Captain Marvel," which will bring back BRIE LARSON in the role as a former military pilot who becomes the superhero when dangers threaten the Earth.
The original movie pulled in $1.13 BILLION dollars at the box office.Movies, take two: Don't look for any of the new crop of movies to overwhelm the box office this weekend. Early estimates have "The Gentlemen" (from STXfilms) coming in fourth place, barely beating out "The Turning" in fifth. Number one? "Bad Boys for Life" (again).
Music: Look for ELTON JOHN, RANDY NEWMAN and CYNTHIA ERIVO to perform their Best Original Song-nominated tracks at this year's Oscar Awards on Feb 09.
And Rolling Stone magazine reports that NEIL YOUNG has picked up his American citizenship some 54 years after illegally crossing the U.S. border in a Pontiac hearse. Young says on his website that the process had been delayed because of the "good moral character" provision on the immigrant application --meaning he admitted to smoking weed.
Are you up for more gym, tanning and laundry? Well, get ready because "Jersey Shore Family Vacation" is back for Season 3 beginning Feb 27th on MTV. The new episodes will reportedly feature Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino's release from prison and the house-mates traveling across the country, from New Jersey to New Orleans and Las Vegas.
And that "Mean Girls" Broadway musical is reportedly being turned into a Hollywood film at Paramount Pictures. The studio says they've gotten TINA FEY to write the script and LORNE MICHAELS to produce the film. No word yet on whether they'll be recruiting the Broadway stars to segue over into the new film.
And does this sound like a good time to you? Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza. Jet's Pizza has 380 locations in 20 states, and they're offering the pizza for $13.99 when you order it online with the promo code RANCH through the end of February.
So what's in it? Chicken, bacon, premium mozzarella, cheddar cheese, and Jet's ranch dressing as the base sauce. Head HERE for a location near you. -
