Russell Brand's unconventional charm has attracted an equally unlikely crew of paramours: Britney Spears, Helen Mirren, and the Jonas Brothers (if they want it). Now, Brand tells GQ just how his seduction technique works.

Here's a few reasons you might want to think twice about posing for the cover of Page Six Magazine:

Our final round-up of news from the Sundance Film Festival brings together at last the Mo'Nique/James Gandolfini combo the whole world has been waiting for.

We saw lots of great stuff in Sundance, but nothing quite so audaciously audience-pleasing as Black Dynamite—Scott Sanders's pants-pissingly hilarious blaxsploitation homage.

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.

Welcome back to Defamer Attractions, your bulletproof guide to everything new, noteworthy and potentially misconceived at the movies. This week, werewolves attack, Brendan Fraser slums (again), and the Weinsteins dump Mickey Rourke.

Well Sundance '09 is finally winding down. As we stagger out of Park City and back to our respective ghettos—Seth and Kyle to LA, STV to NYC—we thought we'd run down the numbers for you.

The latter is the subject of a brand-new viral video, which re-weaves the American tapestry to include Crudup's big, blue superhero, Dr. Manhattan. How was he created? What powers does he possess, and how have they transformed the world as we know it? What was up with that terrible Dr. Manhattan cartoon on Saturday mornings? All those queries are answered and then some, but we have one complaint: the news report is full of censored wang. If there's anything the moviegoing audience needed to begin preparing for, it's some incredible, cerulean hero-steak. [Youtube]

Though we've pointed out how many of Billy Bob Thornton's costars suffer untimely fates, we had no idea the star was taking extreme, air-shunning steps to curtail the curse.

Scripted television episode titles are usually puns, inside jokes or formulaic (Friends' "The One...", Scrubs' "My...") and not worth mentioning, but the aforementioned title of tonight's Supernatural takes this trivial practice to the sublime.

When there are no more Oscars, and there is no more Sundance, there will always be the phenomena behind Twilight. And Dakota Fanning will walk among them.

Marisa Tomei, j'accuse! After claiming to have dozed through the Golden Globe nominations, the Wrestler actress pulled the exact same card today for the Oscar shortlist. Which other nominees feigned ignorance?

In the spirit of fairness for those many times we called the Academy out for its general Oscar-nominating ineptitude, let's all commend its members' fine taste today in snubbing the utterly despicable Revolutionary Road.

The Slapfight Heard 'Round The World remains the preeminent myth of this year's festival, thanks in part to a dramatization featuring Jeff "The Dude" Dowd and Black Dynamite star Michael Jai White.

· Mark Ruffalo's directorial debut—Sympathy for Delicious—is back in productions after falling into limbo following the shooting death of his brother. Orlando Bloom takes over for the role vacated by James Franco. [THR]

Did something about Eric Roth's screenplay for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button remind you of an earlier success of his called Forrest Gump? You're not alone.

As our visit to the Sundance Film Festival winds down, the news somehow gets progressively better and worse at the same time. For example:

We caught Lee Daniels's buzzy Push last night in a sold-out midnight screening. Push is an impressive accomplishment—a female-driven, inner-city drama featuring several astonishing performances, first and foremost being unknown Gabourey Sabide's Precious.
