Brad Pitt in Talks to Join ‘Sherlock Holmes’ Sequel

With the box-office success of Sherlock Holmes – it made $65 million in its opening weekend – there are already plans for a sequel.

Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law have already signed on and director Guy Ritchie has an actor in mind to play Professor Moriarty – Brad Pitt.

According to a source:

“The director, Guy Ritchie, loves Brad. He has worked with him before and thinks he is one of the most underrated actors working today. Guy knows that everyone thinks of as a Pitt as a pretty boy and can’t wait to turn him into the world’s greatest supervillain. It will definitely make the sequel a must-see.”

Pitt and Ritchie previously worked together on 2000’s Snatch and Pitt is said to be “very interested in taking on the role and happy they aren’t considering his kick-ass partner Angelina for the part.”

Jessica Szohr – Teen Vogue February 2010

Gossip Girl star Jessica Szohr takes the February 2010 cover of Teen Vogue. Here’s what the actress had to say:

On how she got her breakthrough role on Gossip Girl:

“Two of my friends in L.A. invited me to this Labor Day barbecue, but I really just wanted to stay on the couch with my French bulldog. I remember hanging out by the pool in an old T-shirt and jean shorts, just talking to people. Three days later, my manager calls to tell me that I’d been with the show’s executive producer and one of the creators and they want me to audition.”

On her relationship with co-star Ed Westwick

“It can be a little awkward, when all of a sudden [you have feelings for] someone you’d call to talk about a different boyfriend. But there wasn’t a lot of thinking and talking. It kind of just happened. We had fun together, and we were like, ‘All right, let’s see where this goes.’ He’s a really rad guy. He’s awesome and smart and talented and adorable, and we make each other laugh.”

On group outings:

“Sometimes we double-date with Penn and Blake, or Leighton and Sebastian. We all hang out.”

Tyra Banks Ending Talk Show

Tyra Banks is ending her talk show, The Tyra Show after five seasons.

“This will be the last season of The Tyra Show,” Banks told People. “I’ve been loving having fun, coming into your living rooms, bedrooms, hair salons for the past 5 years.”

The show, which garnered two Daytime Emmy awards, will wrap up in the spring of 2010.

Banks is saying goodbye to daytime TV to focus on launching Bankable Studios in New York – a film production company. She is currently looking at possible projects that will bring “positive images of women to the big screen.”

She reportedly got the courage to expand her horizons after her longtime mentor Oprah Winfrey announced that she will be ending her talk show.

Her reality shows, America’s Next Top Model and True Beauty will still go on as planned.

“There’s a lot cooking right now and a lot of fire burning in my heart,” said Banks. “And I salute you my amazing family of viewers; without you there never would have been a Tyra Show. I really love you all.”

Matthew Morrison: “I’m Not Gay”

Glee’s Matthew Morrison cleared up rumors during a recent interview where he said he’s not gay.
