COBIE SMULDERS WILL BULLY SUPERHEROES IN "THE AVENGERS". SYFY MAKING "TREASURE ISLAND" WITH RUPERT PENRY JONES, ELIJAH WOOD & DONALD SUTHERLAND. FREIDA PINTO & RIZ AHMED IN "TRISHNA"

Ah, so here's the new twist in the AVENGERS soap opera: the female role I've mentioned yesterday probably won't be Wasp, but agent Maria Hill who will just be a sidekick to Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury, someone who has been known to blackmail and bully superheroes

to get her way. And according to last rumors Morena Baccarin won't get it as we would all like, but Cobie Smulders, from HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, who was apparently the best at the screen testings which were held last week. According to "Playlist" she was also a candidate for Joss Whedon's WONDER WOMAN.

If you miss some pirates on TV, Syfy is preparing their two-part film adaptation of the famous TREASURE ISLAND which follows young Jim who is unexpectedly drawn into the world of piracy when he discovers a treasure map and finds himself battling with Silver for the treasure and his life. Quite an interesting cast includes: Eddie Izzard as Long John Silver, Elijah Wood as Ben Gunn, Donald Sutherland as Flint, our dear Rupert Penry-Jones as Squire Trelawney... The film should premiere in 2012.

Since there haven't been many Indian films after SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, you might like the new project from famous filmmaker Michael Winterbottom who is preparing TRISHNA, a modern-day retelling of famous novel "Tess of the d’Urbervilles". According to "Playlist" he already has two extremely gorgeous young actors: Riz Ahmed (FOUR LIONS) and Freida Pinto (SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, IMMORTALS). The film will follow the tragic relationship between Jay, the son of a property developer, and Trishna, the daughter of an auto rickshaw owner.

Stephen King wants Jake Gyllenhaal in the leading role. As you know, another of King's famous sagas THE DARK TOWER is also in preproduction.

It seems that JAMES BOND 23 could have three villains: beside Rachel Weisz and Javier Bardem who were rumored to have been offered villainous roles, the new gossip says that Ralph Fiennes has been offered a role of a very dark and complex character which will oppose Daniel Craig in Sam Mendes directed film.

According to "Deadline" one of the most interesting shows coming out this year, LOCKE & KEY has just added pop star Jesse McCartney (currently promoting his hit single SHAKE) into its cast.

There, they are pestered by an evil entity that's determined to hold the family hostage one way or another until it gets what it wants.

Finding Bakeries That Make Square Wedding Cakes With Flowers

The best way to find a bakery that can make square wedding cakes with flowers is set up meetings with the bakeries that you are considering using. Having a meeting with each baker or designer is a great way to find out if they can create your perfect design. Try to have these meeting far in advance of the big day, so you have less to worry about.

Better yet, if you have an event planner and they know what you are looking for, have them meet with the vendors. One thing that may help everyone is to have a picture to reference. Though there may be differences in terms of colors or type of flower, they should still be able to get the idea of what you want.

Another thing you will want to look for in your special dessert is to make sure it is tasty. For some reason, whether or not the cake was good is something a lot guests remember long after the big day is over. This special trip is a good way to get your fiance involved in the planning process, so bring him along.

If you are having trouble finding someone who can make the design you are looking for, ask your friends if they recommend anyone. If nothing else, they can tell you their experiences and if they liked how well their baker did. They will also be able to tell you if they did not like the person they chose.

A beautiful square wedding cake with flowers.

One way to find out if your preferred bakery can do the design you like is to ask to see pictures of what they have done in the past. If square wedding cakes with flowers are not in their book, they may still have done something similar. Maybe they could come up with a design for you ahead of time to reassure you they can get you the dessert you want.

You should also find out what the delivery and set up procedures will be. You want to be sure the baker will take care of all of that on your big day. Make sure you ask about insurance in case someone knocks over the cake table too.

OLIVIA WILDE COULD BE NEW LOIS LANE. CAMERON DIAZ JOINS COLIN FIRTH IN "GAMBIT". SCARLETT JOHANSSON COULD JOIN "UNCHARTED: DRAKE'S FORTUNE". "SNOW AND SEVEN" TAKE SNOW WHITE TO CHINA!

Now, while HOLLYWOOD SPY's new poll is going on nicely, it seems the producers of the new SUPERMAN already have a certain lady in their mind for the role of Lois Lane:

Olivia Wilde (TRON LEGACY, COWBOYS AND ALIENS) has apparently already tested for the role and if she wins it she will join Henry Cavill. Jessica Biel, Diana Agron, Malin Ackerman and Rachel McAdams have all also auditioned for the role in the film which will be directed by the visual genius Zack Snyder.

The third SNOW WHITE project beside SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN (with Viggo Mortensen and Charlize Theron) and THE BROTHERS GRIMM: SNOW WHITE (to be directed by Tarsem Singh) is moving ahead. Titled SNOW AND SEVEN, this project will be a bit different from the other two: it will be set in 19th Century China and will center on an English

woman who travels to Hong Kong for her father's funeral. When she discovers the nefarious plans of her stepmother, the woman escapes into mainland China where she is taken in by seven renowned warriors. Michael Arndt (TOY STORY III) is writing the script.

SHORT HEADLINES the producers of the upcoming adventure UNCHARTED:DRAKE'S FORTUNE with Mark Wahlberg and Robert De Niro, apparently want Scarlett Johansson in the lead female role of Elena. Cameron Diaz has joined Colin Firth in GAMBIT, a film about the curator at a London museum who decides to

pull a con on a wealthy collector by convincing him to buy a fake Monet painting. Akiva Goldsman will have his directorial debut in WINTER'S TALE, a film adaptation of the novel which centers around a thief, a dying girl and a flying white horse in 19th Century and contemporary Manhattan. Warner Bros. want to put $75 million in this movie. 

JOAQUIN PHOENIX TO MENTOR "ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER"? EXCITING NEW TRAILER FOR MEDIEVAL ACTION "IRONCLAD" WITH JAMES PUREFOY. IS JOSEPH GORDON LEVITT JOINING "THE DARK KNIGHT RISES"?

Now, since Timur Bekmambetov, the director of the ABRAHAM LINCOLN VAMPIRE HUNTER has chosen his Mr. President last week (young Benjamin Walker) new rumors say that he now has

his eye on Joaquin Phoenix in the role of the mentor who would teach Lincoln how to hunt down and kill vampires. Apparently Tom Hardy was previously seen in that role, but since he joined THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, the role is now free for Joaquin if he wants it.

SHORT HEADLINES after rumors on Robin Williams joining THE DARK KNIGHT RISES alongside Tom Hardy and Anne Hathaway, the rumors about Joseph Gordon Levitt joining the cast in an unknown role have surfaced again. There were stories last year that he might be the new Joker.

Here's the first official trailer for medieval action IRONCLAD which will premiere this Spring in UK. The film is set in 1215. King John (Paul Giamatti) has been forced to sign the Magna Carta,

a document that will ensure the freedom of men and form the basis of common law in England. Furious at having been forced to sign it, King John raises a vicious mercenary army and begins a rampage across the country to regain total power. But as the King’s army is on the brink of reaching London and taking back control of the country, one last castle stands between him and inevitable victory: Rochester. Gathered together by Baron Albany (Brian Cox), a small band of rebel warriors gather inside Rochester intent on holding off King John until reinforcements arrive: a Templar Knight (James Purefoy) whose soul is wracked with guilt over the atrocities he has committed during the crusades and his burgeoning feelings for Isabel (Kate Mara), the beautiful lady of the castle and lonely wife of the aging Reginald de Cornhill (Derek Jacobi), battle-hardened mercenaries such as Beckett (Jason Flemying), who fight not for God and country, but for money and bloodlust, and young soldiers like Guy (Aneurin Barnard), who’ll taste blood and battle for the first time – and perhaps the last.
And don't forget to read the post on Drew Barrymore bellow, it was supposed to be posted last evening, but my headquarters have been sabotaged by an electricity power cut (although I suspect that was just my penguins doing some mischief - the internal investigation is on).
