There are two things that our all-male editorial team prioritizes when we scour the web for entertainment topics upon which we’d like to write: kick-ass flicks and hot women. This article is all about one of those things.

The bigwigs over at the BBC should be pleased to hear that Natalie Portman, the latest big screen Anne Boleyn, has reportedly pulled out of the upcoming adaptation of Emily Bronte’s classic period novel, Wuthering Heights.

Scott Summers, he of the truly deadly looks, is to appear in the forthcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine. At least, as far as we can tell.

Just as Michael Bay said, the pre-production media whirlwind around Transformers 2, next summer’s most anticipated film, has been full of misdirection and hot air.

Ellen Page, star of Juno and Smart People, not to mention the upcoming Whip It, is looking to prove her acting credentials through appearing as one of the most kickass female literary icons, Jane Eyre.

I have heard some doozies in my day, but this one might just take the cake. Our friends over at Cinema Blend have it on high that Matthew McConaughey, king of bedding hot babes, not bathing and surviving with little to no acting talent, may be on the top of Marvel’s short-list of candidates to step into the role of Captain America.

Having already exploited one topless Gyllenhaal in his movie Jarhead, director Sam Mendes will soon be doing the same with Gyllenhaal twin #2.

In news that should excite the inappropriate part of you that likes Michael Bay and gorgeous Australian women, Teresa Palmer - who was cast as Talia Al Ghul in the doomed Justice League: Mortal - has signed on for the (Awesome) Transformers sequel.

Word on the street is that Jonah Hill is in early talks to co-star in the sequel to last summer’s mega-awesome mega-hit as, one can only guess, the overweight comedic sidekick.

Few comedians have gotten the shaft like Mike Judge has. Despite producing a ground-breaking cartoon series in “Beavis and Butthead”, creating another that every single human finds funny with “King of the Hill” and becoming the come-from-behind king with Office Space, Judge still gets no respect.

Ewan McGregor is joining Tom Hanks in The Da Vinci Code prequel/sequel Angels and Demons. With a much better storyline, this Hanks/McGregor combo could prove to be better than the first flick.

Mummy series actor Brendan Fraser has confirmed that he’ll be taking on a role in the upcoming GI JOE film, bringing the films casting expenditures to just under $12 billion.

Larry David and Evan Rachel Wood join the cast of Woody Allen’s latest film, and the universe stops to ponder just exactly where things started to go wrong. Signs point to the Duckbilled Platypus.

Crank 2 kickstarts the adrenaline with new cast members, and they start shooting in one week. If you haven’t seen the original, you’ve got some time. However, once you’ve seen it, it might shave a tick or two off of your heart’s life-expectancy. Then comes this sequel…

Val Kilmer, 50 Cent and Sharon Stone will star in a film about two policemen battling the chaos that reigned in New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, according to Variety.

Just got a little ditty from our friends over at Lionsgate regarding the soon to be in production fifth installment of the Saw series. Actress Meagan Good, who has recently been seen in One Missed Call, Stomp the Yard and Waist Deep, will join the supporting cast.

Although at this time I’m unable to tell you about any new/returning Autobots/Decepticons, I can tell you that Michael Bay’s new film will feature an “irreverent, edgy” roommate for Sam (Shia LaBeouf) at Princeton and a generic U.S. Military Leader with a “great sense of humor and tough military presence.”

We dig rumors just as much as the next site, but over the years we have learned that when something sounds a little too good to be true, it doesn’t hurt to do some fact checking first, even if that means we miss out on breaking a story.

All signs are pointing to an early start for the highly anticipated sequel, and we couldn’t be happier to hear it. And today, thanks to a tip from our friends at IESB, we’ve got some potential casting news and an alleged robot line-up!

Derek Mears is confirmed as the new incarnation of Jason Voorhees in the Platinum Dunes remake of Friday the 13th. While final negotiations are still being hammered out (or macheted out, if you prefer), Mears is clearly the final choice for the slasher favorite.

Earlier this month, we reported that the film was expelled from Australia based on not being able to get a tax break from the Australian government, and was forced to move to Canada to complete principal photography. Today, our friends at Cinema Blend got a great casting scoop from a reader in British Columbia.

Today, we have been tipped off to a few more shots courtesy of some sneaky on-set photography. Here are three more looks at Johnny Depp in action, plus some information about how you could possibly share the screen with Depp and co-star Christian Bale.

You have to love the Saw movies, if not for their ridiculously ambiguous nature. In a release from Lionsgate announcing that “Dexter” and Rambo hottie Julie Benz will star in the upcoming fifth installment, her character was described only as “an elegant woman”.

Does anyone else get the feeling that Elizabeth Banks is becoming the next Hollywood “It” girl? It began with her role in The 40-Year Old Virgin and has continued on to a lead role in Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno, and it will ultimately continue with her role as Laura Bush in Oliver Stone’s W, a biopic of current President George W. Bush.
