If, after that previous twitpic of Arrested Development showrunner Mitch Hurwitz standing inside the writer's room, you still can't quite believe that the gone-too-soon cult TV show Arrested Development is truly making its way back to reality, perhaps this photo of producer/narrator Ron Howard's iPad displaying the…
Even though Arrested Development's fourth season was officially confirmed earlier this year by multiple sources directly involved in the production process, the beloved series' return still seems like a wonderful daydream to its ever-expanding fan base.
For the second time, a movie adaptation of the classic book serial has fallen apart. Also today: Law & Order rips from a new headline, Helen Mirren pinch hits, and some exciting Game of Thrones news.
Kristen Stewart may soon be whistling while she works. Also today: We have two new Charlie's Angels, Will Ferrell gets an office job, and this New Year's Eve movie keeps getting better.
In the middle of his press tour for The Dilemma, MTV News asked the off-point but highly-important question about the Arrested Development movie. Ron Howard answers it honestly, leaving most of the blame on Mitch Hurtwiz.
An extended gay joke was removed from trailers for Vince Vaughn's new comedy The Dilemma after public outcry. But it's going to stay in the movie. Why? Because, according to director Ron Howard, removing it would "endanger comedy."
Here's a trailer for the Vince Vaughn/Kevin James joint The Dilemma, about a dude (Vaughn) who discovers that the wife (Ryder) of his best friend/business partner (James) is cheating on him with Channing Tatum. To tell the friend or not?
Well! Nikki Finke has a good scoop today: 17 year-old Taylor Lautner is getting $7.5 million for starring in the upcoming Tom Cruise vehicle "Northern Lights". Young, talented and richer than you. How's your coffee? Ours is kinda bitter...
Gun van Sant will direct a "distinctive take on young love" entitled Restless, which was penned by an NYU grad named Jason Lew, who's friends with Bryce Howard, who's producing with papa Ron and Brian Grazer. Again, movie magic! [THR]
New York's epic article about Annie Leibovitz in this week's issue is well worth a read, particularly since it sheds a little light on how it is one of the world's highest-paid photographers now finds herself on the brink of financial ruin. (If the only person you'll allow to repair your air-conditioner has to travel…
• Lindsay Lohan is "drowning her sorrows" over Sam Ronson in a "sea of men," including 90210's Kellan Lutz and British paparazzo Chris Jepson. She's also going out all the time again, and hit up six clubs in one evening last week. But that's probably just because she's naturally very energetic. [P6]

Sometimes, life is kind enough to fill a need you didn't even know you had. Here, then, is a hip-hop video that stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Ron Howard for some reason. You're welcome!
Excited for the potential Arrested Development movie? (Not you, Michael Cera.) A brand-new casting breakdown and release date would appear to confirm its production, but there's an unfortunate twist.
Lower your pitchforks! Even as yet another Arrested Development actor comes aboard the movie (more on that later), Ron Howard is defending Michael Cera's right to maybe shred the film's script, if he wants to.
• Giuseppe Cipriani hasn't been seen in New York for months, but he says that has nothing to do with the handful of investigations now underway, or because he's banned from the US. He's just "busy" and says he'll return to New York "soon." His son Ignazio has been busy, too. The 20-year-old has been charged with…
By George: Here at Defamer, we've made it no secret that we didn't really care for Frost/Nixon (in the crowded cinematic genre that is "movies that employ a titular blackslash," we still have a soft spot for Face/Off). But could our opinions have been swayed by the suavest, most-mustachioed actor/director around,…
Ron Howard, TV's Opie, just directed the film version of Frost/Nixon, because the man knows Oscar-bait when he sees it. And also, sure, because it's politically relevant or something. Howard, the very definition of American Middlebrow, is not a political director, though this year he endorsed Obama because he is a…
