Bill Murray

Bill Murray has played in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am for 20 years and is always up to some goofy antics in a real-life spin on Caddyshack. One year he hula hooped on the course and today, he’s rocking a ghillie suit and what Deadspin thinks could be gardening gloves.  He also kicked a football into the crowd.  Yesterday he hugged fans, putted backwards and tickled a camera man.  And yes, there is video.

Macaulay Culkin

You ever have those days where you sit around, all home alone and start thinking, hmmm…what is Macaulay Culkin up to?  You think this every day, right? Well, here is an update and like all child actors who emancipate themselves from their money grubbing parents and only make a few more films that are kind of weird but also awesome (see: Party Monster, Saved) and then kind of disappear from the spotlight, things are looking pretty sad.

Carell

The end of the world doesn't seem like ripe material for a romantic comedy, but here goes: In Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, Steve Carell and Keira Knightley star as strangers who maybe -- just maybe -- find themselves in similar straits after it's announced that an asteroid will collide with the Earth. Accompanying by a ringing indie rock soundtrack and a delightfully morbid string of jokes, they'll attempt to navigate the waters of dreams deferred and unresolved midlife crises while trying to avoid thinking about the fiery rock above them. Of course, there's no indication that Carell and Knightley will fall for each other -- in fact, she seems to be trying to reunite him with his long-lost love. But you know how these things are, and frequently go.

Alfred Hitchcock, the great British film auteur and master of suspense, directed many classic movies that deservedly have their place in the cinematic canon. But despite directing influential films like Vertigo, Psycho, North by Northwest, and Strangers on a Train, only one of Hitchcock's films actually won an Oscar for Best Picture. Rebecca, released in 1940 and starring Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine, is sort of the anti-Hitchcock film, and one that most lends itself to a remake.

will ferrell

He hasn't been in much lately, save for Tim & Eric's Billion-Dollar Movie, but with a lot in the pipeline as an actor and producer (Dog Fight, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters), it seemed like as good of a time as any for Will Ferrell to remind us he exists. First there were the hyper-local Old Milwaukee beer commercials, and then Ferrell showed up at New Orleans Arena on '80s Night this week to introduce the players before the home team Hornets took on the visiting Chicago Bulls (who would go on to win by 23).

rachel boston

Fresh off winning the Stargazer Award from the New York GenArt Film Festival, Rachel Boston is someone to watch out for in 2012. Hailing from Tennessee, the 29-year-old actress is as talented as she is charming. With a myriad film and television roles under her belt, Rachel is making a name or herself as one of the best new stars in Hollywood. Her latest film, The Pill, an independent romantic comedy currently in theaters and available On Demand and Video on Demand starting February 28th, tells the story of two young people living in New York and dealing with the ramifications of casual dating. It's a refreshingly funny and honest portrait of life. In addition to her work in film, Boston joined the cast in In Plain Sight for it’s fourth season in the role of Detective Abigail Chaffee. We caught up with the star on the rise to chat about what attracted her to The Pill, her favorite roles, and working in independent film.

Bourne

After years of supporting roles and indie hits, it's time for Jeremy Renner to play the leading man. In this newly released trailer for The Bourne Legacy, he takes over from Matt Damon for the lead of the well-respected Bourne series, punching guys in the head, shooting things, generally acting like an all-purpose can-do secret spy should. Of course, it's not a clean split to a new generation: as the trailer makes clear, Legacy is a direct continuation from the story left off in the last Damon installment, 2007's The Bourne Ultimatum."There was never just one," the trailer's title grimly announce, while an offscreen character tells Renner that "Jason Bourne was just the tip of the iceberg."

Natalie

Following her Best Actress Oscar victory for The Black Swan, Natalie Portman took maternity leave so she could raise her child, like any responsible mother would. After a year, the hiatus is over: Deadline reports that she's just signed on to star in two Terrence Malick films, both set to shoot this year. For the first, Knights of the Cups, she'll join Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett and Isabel Lucas; in the second, Lawless, she'll be alongside Bale, Blanchett, Ryan Gosling, Rooney Mara and Haley Bennett. No plot details are forthcoming, of course, just the way Malick likes it.
