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."

Many New And Old Faces To Appear In Supernatural's Season 6





Ok, I give up. I have absolutely no idea what the heck is going to happen in season 6 of Supernatural. Now that the newest casting spoilers have been making the rounds, I am officially ceasing to even speculate what's in store for the Winchester brothers next season and can only hope that Comic Con (the Supernatural panel will take place on Sunday, July 25) will shed some light on what to expect in September.

Now we have news of more new and returning characters.


Firstly, we already know that Bobby and Cas will both be returning in season 6. We've also been told that we should expect to see Mark Sheppard return as Crowley. According to Supernatural Locations, Crowley was photographed on the set for the fourth episode of season 6.

We already know that Grandpa Campbell (having, you know, DIED back in the 1970s) will somehow become a recurring character on the show next season (as Mitch Pileggi has been cast as a recurring character).

Remember Kim Rhodes who played Sheriff Jody Mills back in the last Bobby-centric episode in season 5 ("Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid")? According to zap2it, she'll make a return appearance in the fourth episode, which is entitled "Weekend at Bobby's" and is the one directed by Jensen Ackles.
zap2it also reports that Jennifer Aspen (also known as Terri's sister on Glee) will be making an appearance in the same Bobby-centric episode. Apparently things at Bobby's house won't be going so smoothly if her appearance is any indication...



Don't expect that Grandpa Campbell is the only family member you'll see in season 6. No, I'm not talking about Adam, the Winchesters' half-brother. I'm actually talking about another member of the Campbell family. According to reports at Gate Con, Corin Nemec (formerly of SG1) will be playing the recurring role of Christian Campbell, the boys' maternal cousin. This one is a bit easier to figure out than Grandpa Campbell, despite the fact that we never saw Mary's siblings. We did, however, learn back in early season 2 that the boys had an uncle they never met who had paid for Mary's gravestone (I think this was mentioned in "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things"). So it makes sense that Mary had a brother, who then went on to have a son, Christian, and got him into hunting.

But here's the kicker – the final casting spoiler I have for you today from zap2it is regarding Fredric Lehne, who happened to portray the Yellow-Eyed Demon (Azazel). Lehne will return in season 6 as Azazel.

Also... Mark Pellegrino seems to have cornered the market on TV antagonists, having played heavies in no less than three of the most popular genre shows of the century: Lost, Supernatural and Dexter. But while Lost is finished and his Dexter character almost certainly dead, there's still a chance we'll see Lucifer, his Supernatural villain, return.
"I don't know what's next for my character," Pellegrino admitted. "I can't say one way or the other. All I know at this point is that my flesh – my meat suit – is gone, and as far as we left it in the last episode, dead. I don't know what will happen."
