Forbes Magazine recently released its Top 10 list of overpaid/least bankable movie stars. We discussed the list in Black Nerd LIVE! to see if the chat room of the show agreed or disagreed.

10. CATE BLANCHETT - The room totally disagreed. She is a well-respected actress, regardless of movie income intake.

09. WILL FERRELL - The room, some of which saw Tallegeda Nights, Blades of Glory and Semi-Pro back-to-back, totally agreed.

08. DREW BARRYMORE - The room was split on this one, especially after some E.T. flashbacks.

07. NICOLAS CAGE - The room really agreed. And that was just from the trailers of Ghost Rider and Bangkok Dangerous.

06. JIM CARREY - The room was split. Maybe a firm decision will be made after Yes Man comes out.

05. JENNIFER LOPEZ - A Gigli-namious agree!

So there’s been some changes to the upcoming Smurfs movie which will happen… sometime in the future. First off, it’s now going to be released through Sony/Columbia Pictures, who bought the rights from Paramount/Nickelodeon.

Second, the all-CGI feature idea has been scrapped for a live-action/CGI hybrid similar to the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie (I swear to God, if you put a Smurf with Snoop Dogg, heads will roll…)

Here’s an article with all the details. So I guess now the big question is, if the humans in the Smurfs movie will be live-action, who will play Gargamel?

Man, it’s taking forever to make this movie! Looks like Smurfs: The Movie has a nice cushy seat in Development Hell. Say hi to Wonder Woman: The Movie while you’re down there, will ya?

I read a very interesting article recently regarding the boycott of Superhero Movie, released by the Weinstein Company, due to the company’s unfair treatment of the yet-unreleased Star Wars fan film Fanboys.

In Fanboys, one of the characters (who take a road trip to Skywalker Ranch before the release of The Phantom Menace) has cancer, and the powers that be wanted to make a version of the film without mentioning it.

This upset one of the producers of the film, it upset Star Wars fans who saw a rough cut of the film, and the boycotting began. You can read all about it at The Hollywood Reporter.

I find this article interesting for two reasons.

So the Writers Guild of America’s strike has officially ended, a deal has been made, and the writers can get back to work on Norbit 2 and a remake of Space Camp.

I’m just kidding, I’m glad the writers are back to work. I need my TV back, people. When Heroes gets replaced by American Gladiators and FOX’s biggest new show involves lie detectors, you know there’s trouble.

I’m also happy because I need new entertainment news as well. I’m tired of Britney, Amy, and Heather Mills. I want real entertainment news like the next Johnny Depp flick or what new cartoon-based movie starring Jason Lee and/or Brendan Fraser is coming out, not that Gary Coleman was secretly married and Miley Cyrus doesn’t wear seatbelts.

So writers, I’m glad you’re back. And you got more money. So you better earn it. If I see one more movie trailer come out that starts with “From the people who brought you Scary Movie,” then I’ll start striking my damn self!
