Seth Rogen and James Franco have taken the pineapple express to Oscar credibility.

As if expanding the Best Picture nominee pool and potentially nixing the Best Song category wasn't enough to modernize the usually staid Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, surely its welcoming of cinema's preeminent bong jokesters is.

Rogen and Franco are two of 134 new artists and movie industry executives who have been extended invitations to join the Academy and, in doing so, secure voting rights for all future Oscar ceremonies beginning in 2010.

The smokin' Pineapple Express duo are joined by fellow Judd Apatow repertory players Michael Cera, Paul Rudd and Jane Lynch, along with Casey Affleck, Viola Davis, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Taraji P. Henson, James McAvoy, Tyler Perry, Danny Boyle, Emile Hirsch, Michelle Williams, Amy Ryan, Slumdog soundtracker A.R. Rahman, Peter Gabriel, Tom Cruise's producing partner-in-crime, Paula Wagner, Milk man Dustin Lance Black and Mr. Oscar himself, Hugh Jackman.

The Tim Burton-ized version of Alice in Wonderland will hit theaters March 5, 2010, which seems so far away. But it's just close enough to show off how awesomely trippy Burton's re-imagining of the Lewis Carroll classic will be.

Johnny Depp reunites with his bestie director friend for the seventh time, to play the Mad Hatter. Judging by the picture, he is part Elijah Wood, part Carrot Top and all the way creepy.

And Depp isn't the only one getting a crazy Burton makeover...

First comes marriage, then comes Viagra.

After playing an unhappily married couple in Brokeback Mountain, Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal are in talks to reteam for Love and Other Drugs. The flick is director Ed Zwick's adaptation of Jamie Reidy's delightfully titled nonfiction book Hard Sell: Confessions of a Viagra Salesman, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Gyllenhaal would play a role based on Reidy, a Pfizer drug rep who romances a Parkinson's patient played by Hathaway.

Sex, drugs and beautiful stars? Sounds great. But if the film lasts more than four hours, somebody better call a doctor.

And who is Julia Roberts about to devour?

If you thought all the stars singing and dancing at the Oscars was impressive, wait until you see the star power in tonight's Tony opener.

We know. We saw the dress rehearsal.

Here's what else we know...

Star-studded doesn't even begin to cover it.

New Line has recruited a veritable who's who of Hollywood to star in the Garry Marshall-directed rom-com Valentine's Day.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Marshall will reteam with his erstwhile Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts, along with an ensemble that includes Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner, Bradley Cooper, Ashton Kutcher and Shirley MacLaine.

The film will follow five overlapping stories and all take place on Hallmark's Cupid's holiday in Los Angeles.

Some of the storylines already penciled in for the big-screen bonanza: Roberts plays an Army officer on leave from Iraq who strikes up a conversation with Cooper, whose boyfriend is a closeted football player; Kutcher owns a flower shop and plans on proposing to girlfriend Alba, only to discover he's in love with best pal Garner; Hathaway is an agent's assistant who's dating the mail boy; and Biel tries her hand as an unlucky-in-love publicist.

As if that weren't enough star power for you, Ryan Gosling, Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz, Dermot Mulroney, Simon Baker, Joss Stone, Kevin Costner, Nathan Lane, Bebe Neuwirth and Michael Madsen round out the day's castings...

This year, the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala Benefit boasted so much star power that it's a wonder no one was handing out awards.

But best-dressed trophies could have gone to many of the luminaries who turned out for the annual event, including chairpersons Justin Timberlake (with his lovely lady, Jessica Biel, dressed in Atelier Versace), Kate Moss, Marc Jacobs and Vogue's infamous editor, Anna Wintour. And the hosts were just the tip of the supersparkly-star iceberg...

We can't wait for all the swoon-worthy flicks in the Summer Movies 2009: Date Night gallery! Can you?

Oscar-nominated actress and self-declared geek Anne Hathaway guest stars on one of her favorite shows, The Simpsons, this Sunday. She plays Bart Simpson's "older" girlfriend, which she's superexcited about. And when Anne is this excited, that means lots and lots of talking.

A star has already been born, but apparently Anne Hathaway's Oscar-nominated role as a tempestuous recovering addict in Rachel Getting Married was just a warm-up.

The 26-year-old It girl is attached to star in upcoming film and theater productions of Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland.

The dual projects are based on the 2000 Gerald Clarke-penned biography about Judy Garland, the wee (4 feet, 11 inches, per IMDb) actress with the huge voice who went from child star to MGM golden girl to walking tragedy before her death at 47 of an accidental barbiturate overdose in 1969.

"We are thrilled to have the brilliantly talented Anne Hathaway portray stage and screen legend Judy Garland. I have worked with Anne on projects in the past and have known her for many years. She will be a true class act in this challenging role," said Harvey Weinstein, whose Weinstein Co. optioned the rights to Clarke's book.

No word on whether Hathaway—a classically trained soprano—will lip-sync, as Marion Cotillard did with Edith Piaf's iconic vocals in her Oscar-winning turn in La Vie en Rose,  or if she'll provide her own take on Garland's signature sound.

Judy Davis, for one, went with the recordings in her award-reaping turn as Garland in the ABC movie Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows, based on the memoir by Liza's half-sister, Lorna Luft.

William Shakespeare had his own Anne Hathaway. Now the new Anne Hathaway has her own Shakespeare.

The 26-year-old Oscar nominee has been tapped to star in the gender-bending Twelfth Night for the New York Public Theater's Shakespeare in the Park program, running June 9 through July 12.

Hathaway, who just wrapped Tim Burton's update of Alice in Wonderland, will make her Public Theater debut as Viola, a young woman shipwrecked on the shores of Illyria, and, for complicated plot purposes, poses as a male page for a duke, only to fall for her new boss.

The last time the Big Apple theater company staged Twelfth Night was in 2002, starring Julia Stiles as Viola.

Speaking of Stiles...
