Alexander Skarsgård's Pop Getting a Dragon Tattoo



Stellan Skarsgård is in talks to join The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Oh, does his last name look familiar? That would be because he is father to one Alexander Skarsgård.

Daddy's reportedly in negations to play Martin Vanger, who's a pretty important character—which you know you if you've read the book (or seen the European movie), and everybody has, right?

Stellan tells Variety: "I have had a concrete offer and now we are in negotiations" to play Martin Vanger, one of the principal suspects in the 40-year-old disappearance of a teenage girl.

You know what this means, right?

That Alexander totally needs to play young Martin Vanger in the flashbacks of the remake. The two are blood after all, how much more real can ya get? This must happen.

It's time for mini Skarsgård to put his acting chops to the test. No offense to former and future Alexander costars Kate Bosworth and Rihanna, but we think the babe can do a little better. Anyone who watches True Blood knows that.

Filming is currently set for late September in Sweden, so if scheduling works out we think this is something A.S. should consider. It would be more like a cameo, really.

If we let you bring Kate Bosworth along will you think about it? We won't make any snide fauxmance comments the whole time if you do. Cross our bitchy hearts.

Still no final word yet who will play the female heroine Lisbeth Salander. Oh, except that it's not Kristen Stewart.

Neil Patrick Harris Talks About Returning to GLEE

"That is a great idea. We should do that."

So says Glee boss Ryan Murphy about my pitch to have Neil Patrick Harris (Emmy-nominated guest star extraordinaire!) come back to the show in season two, and hook up with the girl his character had a mad crush on in high school: Terri Schuester (Jessalyn Gilsig).

So will NPH be back? Here's what Neil himself just told us:

Check out what Neil says in the video interview below!



"It's such a tricky thing [because] that's not the network that How I Met Your Mother is on," Neil explains. "So I can't just say, 'Oh, I'll just keep doing Glee's,' because they're on Fox and I'm on CBS. I have bosses that make me sign contracts to keep me at one place for a long period of time, and understandably so. I love the gig, love doing it. They're [the Glee guys] super fun, and they didn't shoot me at the end of the first episode, so if I'm ever able to come back I'd love to."


David Arquette: Scream 4 Makes Me Feel Like a Kid



We'll get to David Arquette's new venture in the Hollywood nightlife scene in a sec, but first we gotta talk Scream 4.

Arquette tells me he had no problem reprising his role as the bumbling Dewey Riley for the fourth installment of the Ghostface franchise—even though it's been like forever since Scream 3 hit theaters. "He's an easy character for me to play for some reason," he says with a laugh. "I think we might share a lot of the same qualities, good or bad."

Arquette and his wife Courteney Cox along with Neve Campbell and director Wes Craven have all returned to resurrect the horror series…

"It's really been kind of a trip for me to say the least," Arquette says. "I met my wife on the first one 14 years ago or something and now we have a child."

Will daughter Coco be popping up in the new movie? Maybe. Sorta.

"She may be in a picture somewhere," Arquette teases.

Joining the original cast are Emma Roberts and Hayden Panettiere, among others. "It's weird. All these kids are turning 21 on the set—or not even that," Arquette says. "I've gone out a few times with them, and Courteney's like, 'David, you're not a kid anymore.' I'm like, 'I know, but I still feel like one.' "

And that certainly will come in handy with David Arquette Presents: Beacher's Madhouse, a new nightclub-meets-theater venue he's opening at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel with Las Vegas entertainment impresario Jeff Beacher. Madhouse will include burlesque dancers, live animals, acrobats, contortionists, fire-breathers, VIP seating in oversize birdcages…you get the point.

"We're trying to bring a little showmanship to Hollywood," Arquette said. "My family goes back to vaudeville, so it's sort of in my blood to do live performance."

Also on Arquette's agenda is tonight's screening of The Butler's in Love, a short he directed, at the HollyShorts Film Festival in L.A. and Inmoo, a website he cofounded that's dedicated to showcasing indie films. "The real germ of it is that we wanted to create a website that helps support filmmakers, where any of the advertising revenue that we get, we split 50-50 with the producers of the films," Arquette explained. "So you don't have to pay for it. You just have to sit through a couple of commercials."
