They say the proof is in the pudding, and for Jesse James the proof he’s a cheater are in these text messages. Some how In Touch Weekly got ahold of a sexting conversation between Sandra Bullock’s husband, Jesse James, and the woman he supposedly had an affair with.

In the texts the two talk about licking each other and addressing one another as “babe” and “hot stuff.” It’s also reported that Bullock has moved out of her Southern California home she shared with her husband.

Does Sandra’s life suck right now or what? If they divorce let’s hope he doesn’t get half.

If you’re going to lose Elizabeth Banks, you could do a lot worse than Abbie Cornish. Granted, I’m talking more about their equally fine looks, but both are also quality actresses, especially Cornish, who won rave reviews last year for her work in Jane Campion’s Bright Star. Presumably, writer-director Neil Burger saw her performance in the period film, because he’s inserted Cornish into his next picture, the sci-fi-thriller Dark Fields, in a slot previously rumored to have been taken by Banks. 

The Australian actress joins the already-cast Bradley Cooper and Robert DeNiro. Dark Fields centers on a writer (Cooper) who becomes dependent on a drug that  enhances the brain’s capacity, but also causes dementia, blackouts and random violence. DeNiro will play a financial tycoon chasing Cooper. Cornish’s exact role, however, remains undisclosed. 

Burger is no stranger to heady psychological fare; his most notable film to date is the twisty 2006 magician tale The Illusionist, with Edward Norton and Paul Giamatti. 

In other Abbie Cornish news, she’s also signed on to Madonna’s second directorial job, W.E., a dark romance covering the affairs of King Edward VIII. Though Cornish will be joined by the wonderful Vera Farmiga, I can’t help but yawn at this. Let’s stick with Dark Fields.

2010 has been a great year for posters, first with this awesome splatterpaint display for Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass and now with these new posters for Sylvester Stallone’s ultimate union of action heroes, The Expendables. Take a look at these bad boys below; I particularly like the one on the right with its deadly butterfly design.

In case you’re behind, The Expendables involves things being blown up by Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, Terry Crews, Mickey Rourke, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Bruce Willis. It’s being released on August 13, and you can count on my butt being in the theater already. What more do you need to know?

I’m sure you’d know the Star Wars: Galactic Heroes toys if you saw them in a store. They’re the scrunched up little cutesy versions of the characters you’ve known and loved since the 1970s. They’re about two inches tall and they ride in similarly scrunched up and cutesy X-Wings and the like. They’re dumb and they’re engineered solely for very young children and geeks who buy up every piece of merchandise in sight.

And the same rules will apply to the forthcoming animated series Star Wars: Galactic Heroes, the new brainschild of LucasFilm. Instead of getting a new film or television series geared toward adults or even the teenagers who pumped their hard earned cash into the prequels, the old crowd is getting dumped in favor of preschoolers.

George Lucas: I do not care.

Call me crazy, but I’m starting to warm up to the once-infuriating Let Me In, the American remake of Swedish director Tomas Alfredson’s 2008 gemstone Let the Right One In, a creepy yet elegant meditation on a 12-year-old female vampire, Eli (changed to Abby for the remake), and her new socially inept boy pal, Oskar (now Owen). Similar to the frustration that settled in over the better-than-expected Quarantine, the 2008 redo of the, at the time, hardly-two-years-old indamn-great Spanish shocker [REC], I greeted the initial news of Let Me In (opening October 1, 2010) with furious anger, another example of Hollywood’s laziness that’s gotten to the point where half-a-decade foreign films are ripe for makeovers. See next month’s awful-looking Death at a Funeral, which appears to be a dumbed down take on English filmmaker Frank Oz’s sharp 2007 comedy of the same name. But as time has passed and tidbits of info have surfaced from the Let Me In production, the tide has progressed to mid-shift.

First, there’s the film’s director-of-choice, Matt Reeves; an inspired and unconventional choice, he comes from the J.J. Abrams school of thought (a plus), and his last film, Cloverfield, still holds up as a brilliant piece of subversive genre work. Then the cast started taking shape, with a pair of skilled youngsters, Kodi Smit-McPhee (effective in last year’s heavy The Road) and Chloe Moretz (a show-stopper in next month’s Kick-Ass), and the great character actor Richard Jenkins (as the girl vamp’s mysterious guardian). With such worthy players secured, Let Me In can only be a disaster if the script is a mishandled airball, right?

After reading this new Matt Reeves interview over at Bloody Disgusting, I’m feeling rather good about the script’s chances. The director also wrote said screenplay, and in the interview he discusses his affection for John Lindqvist’s original novel, which is much darker than Alfredson’s film and delves further into Oskar’s point-of-view, as well as the POVs of minor characters left unexplored in the Swedish big-screen adaptation. Reeves seems to have stuck closer to the book than Alfredson’s take, a promising step toward a distinct individuality for his stateside version.

Let Me In is still a hair less than seven months away, so the jury stands. But I have a good feeling that whenever the trailer debuts, it’s going to give a pile of skeptics the same optimistic sensation that I’m presently experiencing. A tireless horror film lover can sure hope.

Like I’ve said before, any celebrity that gets their own reality show is a celebrity no more, so you shouldn’t be surprised that Jessica Simpson’s VH1 reality show, The Price of Beauty, bombed in ratings after it’s first episode.

x17online reports that only 1 million people tuned in to watch Simpson, her hair dresser and best friend travel the world to find beauty in cultures…why should I watch this again?

Sure actress Sandra Bullock has won a golden globe and an Oscar, but people aren’t talking about that right now; they’re talking about her husband Jesse James cheating on her for 11 months with a tattoo model. Reportedly 5 weeks of those months of cheating included nothing but non-stop sex. If you know who Jesse is then this story sounds like it could be true.

These rumors are getting the best of Sandra, causing her to suddenly cancel her trip to London to promote and attend the premiere of her film The Blind Side; you know, the movie that gave her the Oscar in the first place.

A rep at Warner Bros said Sandra is, “unable to travel due to unforseen circumstances.”

Which means she has to stay in LA and beat her husband’s ass. Maybe the Oscar should’ve went to Jesse for acting like a faithful husband.

20th Century Fox announced Tuesday that James Cameron’s mega-blockbuster Avatar will be released on Blu-ray on Earth Day, April 22, 2010, and in an effort to provide the highest possible audio and video quality, the Blu-ray will not come equipped with any special features, trailers or even animated menus. Now, in an unprecedented move, Fox has also announced that in an effort to improve the Avatar experience even more, the Blu-ray won’t contain the film at all.

“We’re really excited about providing the best possible version of Avatar,” Fox officials said. “That would be no Avatar at all. Now, rather than having to hear dialogue like ‘You are not in Kansas anymore; you are on Pandora!’ or ‘I see you,’ fans of the film can hear total silence. No more lanky blue people with big eyes and Sigourney Weaver’s face. No more Michelle Rodriguez. We really feel that this is the Avatar that fans have been waiting for.”

‘The only thing getting in the way of Avatar being a great film is all the dialogue and images — pretty much everything that’s on screen,” said Academy Award-winning writer/director James Cameron. “This new Blu-ray version addresses those issues. It’s a game-changer.”

If the initial Blu-ray release is successful, fans can expect the “definitive” Avatar release sometime in November, which will feature two full discs of nothing and a third disc containing the movie Point Break.

Films like Ponyo are a nostalgic treat. It’s an odd feeling to experience but it was a joyous occasion to not have to sit through another over-polished DreamWorks or Pixar production. There is no doubt that both companies have achieved a mammoth amount of success and critical hit after critical hit (specifically Pixar ). They look great and more importantly, the content always walks the line of child amusement and grown-up jokes which directly leads to their success (most of the time). They surely deserve it (most of the time). Still, when a hand-drawn feature hits mainstream theaters in the good ol ‘ U.S. of A., it’s a double-take. Especially when it’s about a goldfish with a human face that wants to become human after liking the blood of a young Japanese boy. Strange? You bet. Delightful with a colorful charm and whimsy? Yes, it’s that too.

Ponyo, the latest from anime king Hayao Miyazaki, is based on the Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid. It tells the story of 5-year-old Sosuke (Frankie Jonas), who discovers a magical goldfish stuck in a jar in the heavily polluted Japanese harbor. The fish, who the boy names Ponyo, ran away from her father Fujimoto (Liam Neeson), a wizard whose daily job is to manage the balance of nature. Fujimoto is none-too-pleased with the treatment of the oceans by the “black-souled” humans and harbors deep-seeded prejudices against them. Regrettable for the undersea sorcerer,Ponyo, having licked Sosuke ’s wound and becoming best-est pals with him, wants to become a human. It’s understandable. Being a human is the best next to being a giraffe or emu. Maybe an impala.

As Fujimoto’s grave concerns over the ramifications of Ponyo’s wishes prove real, Ponyo’s sea goddess of a mother (Cate Blanchett) reveals that Ponyo’s wish can come true but it is ultimately up to Sosuke.

The voice cast also includes Tina Fey, Matt Damon, Betty White, Cloris Leachman and Lily Tomlin.

Ponyo quickly endears itself through its fanciful imagery and messages of friendship. It’s easy to see why the movie is already a huge hit in Japan and even easier to see why Disney picked up the distribution rights. Ponyo is rare because the story, while appealing to anyone with a heart, doesn’t have the adult-oriented jokey jokes that typical American animated flicks usually have. In fact, it’s downright kid-ish. Yet, despite its solidified stance, it’s anything but unintelligent. It’s magical and in a cinematic environment that takes childhood memories (and toys) and turns them into lobotomy surgeries, Ponyo is a triumph and a magnificent entry into Miyazaki’s revered-library.

The special features on this Blu-ray release feature The World of Ghibli, Meet Ponyo, and a storyboard featurette of the film.

John Travolta and Robin Williams: The only ones laughing in 'Old Dogs'

Calling Old Dogs utterly unbearable may be the understatement of the year alongside “healthcare needs an overhaul.” A family comedy by genre only, this John Travolta and Robin Williams vehicle is so maligned, mismanaged and other “M” words, that a point is reached in the movie where audiences are forced to ask, “Wait, is this a joke? Is Old Dogs really this godawful or is Walt Becker playing a huge yet fabulously hilarious prank on me?”

No. Director Walt Becker (Wild Hogs) is not playing a prank on you, unless you call wasting an hour and a half of your life on this poo trap a “prank.”

Travolta and Williams are longtime buddies who head a sports PR firm. Travolta’s Charlie likes to have good times while Williams’ Dan is a pent-up fuddy-duddy. Both are exhausting. When Dan reunites with Vicki (Kelly Preston, Travolta’s real-life wife), his one-night stand from almost a decade earlier, he realizes that, yes, he wants to spend more time with her and get to know her better. Bam Dan, here are your kids (Conner Rayburn, Preston-Travolta daughter Ella Bleu Travolta).

But Vicki didn’t just bring in her two younglings to meet their new daddy. She has another surprise to tell Dan; she is going to jail for two weeks for eco-terrorism (W), but don’t worry, her best friend, the cross-eyed hand model (Rita Wilson) (T), will watch the kids, that is until she’s knocked out of commission when Dan nails her with a mouthful of car trunk (F).

Now Dan must take care of the kids for two weeks with hilariously awful consequences.

After he guilts the help out of his BFF, the duo take the kids camping with a Boy Scout-ish outfit led by scout-lifers played by Justin Long and Matt Dillon. During this stint, Charlie and Dan are mistaken for a “progressive” couple and if anything says comedy, it’s being mistaken for a gay couple. Later on, Charlie talks Dan into wearing a remote-controlled suit to get emotionally closer to the kids. Then the gang get trapped with a gorilla and look — there’s Ann Margret and Bernie Mac!

Oh Old Dogs.The laughs are non-existent, the script is, as they say in Mexico “el terrible” and the cast is disastrously misused. On the bright side, the checks that the cast cashed probably paid for some swank dinners held in an ice castle in Greenland.

So there’s that.

The special features on the Blu-ray release include Young Dogs Learn Old Tricks, the music video You’ve Been a Friend to Me from by Bryan Adams, some unfunny bloopers, deleted scenes in case you wanted to see the stuff that WASN’T good enough for the theatrical release, Every Little Step — a music video performed by John Travolta and Ella Bleu Travolta, and an audio commentary provided by Walt Becker, Producer Andrew Paney, and the film’s writers David Diamond and David Weissman.
