Kristen Bell is heading back to television. No, she’s not reprising her role as Veronica Mars on The CW (they don’t deserve her!), she’s heading to cable for a new dark comedy called “House of Lies.” According to the Showtime network, Bell has signed on to co-star alongside Don Cheadle in the new half an hour series, which was created, executive produced and written by Matthew Carnahan (“Dirt”) from the hit tell-all book “House of Lies: How Management Consultants Steal Your Watch and Tell You the Time” by Martin Kihn.

Last summer was supposed to be the summer of Iron Man. The highly anticipated sequel Iron Man 2 hit theaters, and despite its financial success it was a critical dud. The movie was uneven to say the least and one of the main problems was the relationship between supposed best buds Tony Stark and James Rhodes. Regardless of our concerns, it appears that the studio has plans for a War Machine spin-off that would have Don Cheadle in his own adventure.

Not long ago we attended the press conference for Iron Man 2, which was basically Robert Downey Jr.‘s chance to show off a unique hybrid between himself and Tony Stark. Not only did he dominate the stage, the questions, and everyone elses answers, but at one point he literally “held” the press conference together – but more on that below. In attendance along with Downey was the director Jon Favreau, writer Justin Theroux, producer Kevin Peige and cast members Gwyneth Paltrow, Scarlett Johansson, Mickey Rourke, and Don Cheadle (sadly no Sam Rockwell who absolutely rocked the film).

It’s time! Iron Man 2 is about to hit theaters! Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr. are back with another installment in their witty, yet action packed franchise. There has been so much anticipation for this film since its trailer debuted (which we sweded) last summer at Comic-Con. The sequel is a solid follow up that comes through with everything you would anticipate from Iron Man, but don’t expect to walk out of the theater with the same “wow” feeling you had after the first film. This is a whole different beast…

Last week Paramount released six photos from next month’s Iron Man 2 (can you believe it’s almost here?) that featured Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, his alter ego Tony Stark, and Mickey Rourke as the villain Whiplash.

Last week we saw the new international one sheet for Jon Favreau’s Iron Man 2 and today the domestic version has been released. The main problem I had with the previous version was the absence of one of the most talented actors and interesting characters from the film. In the U.S. poster, that issue has doubled because now two actors are missing. What’s this all about? See if you notice the missing links…

Over the past few months we’ve been teased with multiple trailers for the upcoming Iron Man 2 movie. We’re well aware that it will feature several new characters and the emergence of a new hero with War Machine, but there’s one question that’s been on all of our minds. Will Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow have a Russian accent or not? In the latest TV spot for the film that aired during Nickelodeon’s Kid’s Choice Awards, we got our answer…
