The Oscars are less than two months away and after host and producer changes, ABC just released a promo to reassure everyone that it’s going to be A-Okay. The trailer, which comes via Movieline, is a highly produced narrative short about Josh Duhamel and Megan Fox’s journey to the Himalayas in order to find host Billy Crystal. 

● Spike Lee is officially directing the remake of South Korean cult classic Old Boy for Mandate Pictures, a less than obvious choice, if you ask us. [THR] ● Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie declined their invite to Julian Assange's 40th birthday party, because, well, it was Julian Assange's 40th birthday party. [The Atlantic Wire] ● In an inspired bit of celebrity stalking, a TMZ cameraman managed to ask Michael C. Hall if his character Dexter would go after Casey Anthony once she was released. Suffice it to say, Michael C. Hall is not amused. [TMZ]

Megan Fox has taken quite the public relations beating in the run-up to tomorrow's release of Michael Bay's coked-up CG rampage, Transformers: Dark of the Moon. But it's not like she couldn't see it coming. The Ballad of Michael and Megan—in which Michael fires Megan for publicly bashing Michael—is actually the most entertaining thing about the Transformers franchise, especially when unfiltered loudmouths (not a bad thing) like Michael Bay and Shia LaBeouf are the ones doing all the talking.

● Pink and Carey Hart welcomed baby Willow Sage Hart into the world yesterday. Baby Willow is "gorgeous just like her daddy," Pink tweeted. [NYP] ● Ah, okay: Megan Fox was too feminist to work with Michael Bay on his latest Transformers movie. Or, as Shia LaBeouf put it, "Megan developed this Spice Girl strength, this woman-empowerment [stuff] that made her feel awkward about her involvement with Michael, who some people think is a very lascivious filmmaker, the way he films women." [Hero Complex/LAT] ● Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was willing enough to indulge certain other needs, just can't quit that wedding ring. He was spotted out in LA with his daughter, ring still on cheatin' finger. [UsWeekly]

● Megan Fox really wants to play the homely, tortured teenage lead in MGM's remake of Carrie, presumably because her own teenage years were totally homely and tortured. [MovieWeb] ● Prince William and Duchess Kate had a nice honeymoon on a private island in the Seychelles, where they saw a turtle nest hatching, giant stingrays, and sharks! But "Friendly sharks, not deadly sharks, Us reports. [UsWeekly] ● Vibe got Rick Ross topless for their cover this month, flaunting his saggy, tattooed pecks. Complex's Jaws-inspired cover depicting the ever-hungry rapper hunting down a water-skiing Andy Samberg wins, though. [Complex]

Congratulations to the folks at Vulture, who lucked upon a crabby Mickey Rourke at a recent party for Scream 4, where the actor called his new film, Passion Play, "terrible" and questioned the talents of his costar, Megan Fox. The comments caused such a stir that Rourke was forced to reach out to Vulture and apologize, a rare feat indeed. Don't forget that Rourke's career went dark after the actor refused to play the Hollywood game (rule number one: don't say what's really on your mind), and now that he's enjoying his second chance, he's trying hard not to muck it up. Anyway, Passion Play already screened at Toronto, and Mickey Rourke isn't the only one who thinks it sucks.

● Catherine Zeta-Jones has entered a mental clinic for Bipolar disorder. Finally, someone who can admit it! [People] ● Mickey Rourke has gone on record saying his new movie with Megan Fox is "terrible." Mikey Rourke has also gone on record saying "water is liquid." [Vulture] ● Kobe Bryant: Fierce competitor or raging homophobe? The Lakers star has sort of apologized for hurling an anti-gay slur at a referee last night. [TMZ]

● Taylor Swift and new old man flame Jake Gyllenhaal shared maple lattes at a Brooklyn coffee shop on Thanksgiving morning and it was neither filmed nor scripted, supposedly. [People] ● Lindsay Lohan, meanwhile, spent Thanksgiving working out and hanging with Samantha Ronson in L.A., making her day more like jail than rehab. [TMZ] ● Justin Timerblake wants an Oscar, but all we want is another Justin Timberlake album. [Page Six]

Another year of The Toronto International Film Festival has wrapped, and gone with it are the extended 4 am last calls (Toronto’s last call normally arrives at cruel 2 a.m.), celebrities, and the unique energy that is bestowed upon the city which Steve Martin once referred to on 30 Rock as being “just like New York but without all the stuff.”

● Taylor Swift spent 14 hours with fans signing autographs, giving hugs, and likely crying during the CMA Music Festival. For comparison, during those hours Miley Cyrus probably sent 1,754 text messages. [Celebuzz] ● Paris Hilton's alibi -- "that wasn't my purse with the cocaine!" -- is easily disproved by a post on her Twitter...a picture of the purse. This technology thing is even harder than this drug thing. [E! Online] ● If Jerry Lewis ran into Lindsay Lohan, he would "smack her in the mouth." [PopEater]
