John Travolta appeared on The Ellen Degeneres Show Wednesday, and expressed his gratitude for the support that his family has been receiving in regard to the death of his son Jett. He also talked about the family movie that they are releasing this month. It was an emotional moment for John, who appeared with his daughter Ella.

The Michael Jackson film This Is It was released on Tuesday night, worldwide, and fans showed their overwhelming support – $2.2 million on opening night alone. Certainly unprecedented, I wouldn’t be surprised if this film breaks even more records in the days to come.

Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift seem to be getting along quite well. The youngsters are starring together in a romantic comedy, Valentine’s Day, and have been spending a lot of quality time together. They have not officially announced that they are a couple, but I believe it’s just a matter of time. For what it’s worth, they seem to be a good match!

If there was any doubt left as to Miley Cyrus’ growing up, there should be none left by now. She was recently spotted on the set of Sex and the City 2, apparently filming a scene. She’s only 17 but she seems really comfy around older people. Does this mean we’ll have a whole new set of SATC viewers?

It’s confirmed – Neve Campbell will be returning as the lead star in the fourth installment of horror movie franchise, Scream. She’s going to be filming soon, together with some original cast members such as David Arquette and Courtney Cox. They’re all many years older, let’s see how this one turns out, shall we?

John Travolta, Kelly Preston, and Ella Bleu took the stage as a family at Disney’s D23 Expo last week in a surprise appearance. It hasn’t been a year since their son Jett died in an accident, and the family has not appeared in public since then. Their new movie (all of them are in it) is titled “Old Dogs,” which John loves very much since his “baby is in it.”

For the fourth time. The new installment to the pirates franchise is titled “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” and Disney says it is due in 2011. This is not the only project that Depp is working on. He has Alice in Wonderland and Tonto (Lone Ranger).

Matt Damon has a new movie, but is already talking about something else – a possible 4th installment for the Bourne series. While the original story only had three books, who is to stop Hollywood from creating a fourth one? Matt says that they should be filming within the next year and half or so.

Boys, you’re gonna like this (or not?)! Megan Fox says that she is more comfortable kissing girls – on screen, that is. She is filming Jennifer’s Body, and says that “I feel much safer with girls, so I felt more comfortable kissing her in the movie than kissing any of the other people that I had to kiss.” She is referring to Amanda Seyfried, who didn’t seem to be as comfortable as Megan was.

Kristen Stewart says shooting New Moon was not easy. In fact, it just about “killed her.” I guess she really got into her character, didn’t she?

Was there really ever any doubt? The Box Office shows proof – all $37.6 million of it. The Nazi movie is Quentin Tarantino’s biggest opening movie ever – beating Kill Bill by a cool 10 million plus.

Boo Boo Stewart, the saga’s newest cast member might have been talking too much. He said that there will be five movies in the saga, but producers say that that statement is a bit premature. A case of over excitement, maybe?

Acclaimed director Peter Jackson has given Hollywood something to be happy about. With his new movie, District 9, leading the Box Office over the weekend, Jackson shows everyone his charm once again. The movie grossed $37 million, with signs pointing to more success in the following weeks.

Later this year, Michael Jackson fans will be treated to seeing him on the big screen yet again. A judge ruled on Monday that the movie deal can push through. Columbia Pictures paid $60m for it.

Connor Cruise, Tom Cruise’s 14-year-old son is getting ready to take part in the remake of Red Dawn. He will play the role of Daryl, a teenager who fights foreign invaders. This is not his first time on the big screen. He played the young Will Smith in Seven Pounds.

The modern day version of G.I. Joe seems to have lived up to expectations – it opened this weekend with $22.3M on Friday alone. Those figures should have went up over Saturday. No surprise there, as countless fans have been waiting to relive their childhood ever since the news of the movie was released.

Who would have thought that there was going to be another installment in the series? According to reports, this project is moving fast and Josh Applebaum and Andre Nemec have already been hired to write the script. J.J. Abrams and Tom Cruise are producing the film.

This weekend has been a relatively slow one for the Box Office but it was big for funny man Adam Sandler whose newest movie, Funny People, grossed $23.4M. It seems that despite Sandler’s switch to a more serious approach, movie goers still appreciate his work.

Funny People is about a terminally ill comedy star. If you haven’t seen it, maybe you should.

Michael Moore has won awards and accolades but he’s not fixated on them. He has big plans for Traverse City, his adopted hometown – Traverse City Comedy Arts Festival. No date has been set yet, but people are already looking forward to it.
