Well, I guess Adam Sandler is ready to go back to his old tricks after playing it straight in Funny People: the actor has signed on to play both Jack and Jill in the upcoming romantic comedy called — you guessed it — Jack and Jill. The movie will be produced by Sandler's company, Happy Madison.
The image of Adam Sandler as a woman is already giving me a bad taste in my mouth about this project.

Before we get right into my thoughts on Funny People, let me preface by saying that I loved Judd Apatow’s first two films, The 40-Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up. I would count both among the best comedies to hit Hollywood in the past few years, and I had full faith that he would hit another home run with his third directorial stint. I understand that he was ready to try something new and a get a little more serious, but looking back at his first two achievements I have to wonder: when the formula works so well, why mess with it?

For Judd Apatow's third directorial feature film, Funny People, he has Seth Rogen starring as a fledgling comedian who looks up to the seasoned comedian/Hollywood actor, George Simmons (Adam Sandler). George learns that he has an untreatable blood disorder and that he has one year to live. He notices Ira's act one night and takes Ira under his wing — though it doesn't change the fact that George is a prickly, difficult guy.

A handful of Hollywood's most hilarious actors and actresses gathered together for the premiere of Funny People in LA last night. Eric Bana and Seth Rogen suited up while Adam Sandler kept to his casual style. Leslie Mann made a splash in her all-pink ensemble, but Rashida Jones looked equally gorgeous in muted tones — what lipstick shade do you like best on her?

Adam Sandler's next movie is titled Grown Ups and follows a bunch of high school friends who reunite 30 years after graduation, but it also appears to be serving as a real-life reunion for a whole team of former Saturday Night Live performers. A few comedic actors were cast a while back, including Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider, and today there's talk of more coming on board. Tim Meadows is joining the cast, which now also features Maya Rudolph, Norm Macdonald, Colin Quinn and actor/SNL writer Tim Herlihy.

I was just talking about ladies above a certain age landing more roles and today there are two pieces of news that make me feel like someone was listening. We haven't seen Cher on the silver screen in years, and now she has landed not one but two interesting movie roles.
First she will be joining Christina Aguilera in the movie musical Burlesque.
