Along with their exciting X-Men news, THR also broke a story about how the three main stars of 'The Hangover' series are close to signing on for a third installment for a gigantic pile of cash.


EW.com has an exclusive video featuring a conversation with George Lucas where he talks about how 'painful' it was to make the original Star Wars...and some other stuff.

io9.com is a great website with a lot of interesting stories like this one which is about 'The Experts Who Put Actual Science into Hollywood Science Fiction'. Very cool and nerdy stuff!


Marvel.com recently released five images from the upcoming Avengers movie and, most important of all, Scarlett Johansson is in one of them!
