Folks, we’ve either stumbled upon one of the most ethical people in the world or the stupidest. Imagine you’re walking down the street, minding your own business, and you stop to throw out the wrapper from your sandwich. Just as you’re about to toss the refuse into the trash bin, you stumble upon the totally confidential script for one of Hollywood’s biggest upcoming sequels: New Moon, the second installment in the Twilight Franchise. The script is even marked with the name of one of the film’s stars, Anna Kendrick. What would you do?

This actually happened to St. Louis hairdresser Casey Ray. Ray discovered not one, but two scripts in a trash bin in St. Louis. The other script was for the in-production drama "Memoirs,” also starring Twilight hunk Robert Pattinson. Kendrick had been in St. Louis shooting the George Clooney flick "Up in the Air."

Instead of cashing in (KA-CHING!), Ray called her lawyer and the script was returned to the studio, Summit Entertainment. No mention of any monetary compensation for her good deed, but I’ve heard that she’s getting passes to both films. Those better be for the big red carpet LA premieres, or I’d be rethinking my decision.

Will roles roll because of this incident? Will Anna Kendrick lose her role in either of these films? Not sure, but I’m positive that this is not the last we’ll be hearing about this story.

New Moon film is literally trash. Figuratively speaking? Likely as well.

4 minutes of Terminator Salvation

Are you pumped up about the latest in the Terminator franchise, Salvation, starring Christian Bale? The film opens next Thursday, with a late Wednesday night screening at midnight over at the Paramount downtown.

You’re reading this headline and thinking: 4 minutes of the new Terminator? Isn’t this going to be a rehashing of Christian Bale going (American) psycho dropping f-bombs on set berating the crew for four minutes? Nope, this really is four whole minutes of true footage from the film.

I think the whole Terminator thing has run its course. To me it still seems like a late 80’s/early 90’s thing. Unless I hear that the film is spectacular, I’m not going to rush out to it. But if this is your thing, enjoy.

This will either PUMP -clap- YOU UP, or not

Miss California gets SCHOOLED by Keith Olbermann

In a new segment for his MSNBC show Countdown called “WTF?”, anchor Keith Olbermann decided to christen the segment in a six-minute tirade tearing apart Miss California, Carrie Prejean. Upon learning that Olbermann spent a full six minutes on this woman, you, much like myself, are probably wondering why he’s even bothering. But then I watched the video. It’s hilarious, but not in a funny-ha-ha sort of way. His points are right on and he makes 100% sense.

This chick was practically begging for more ridicule after her preposterous press conference, and Olbermann is more than up to the task.

Miss Cali gets eviscerated. Yes, Carrie Prejean, you can go look that word up now.

But wait… there’s more!

Appearing on the Today Show, Miss Cali admitted that there could definitely be more racy photos on the way, as long as there are more photographers out there "willing to make an extra buck." Ya think?

She also tried explaining the whole "windy day" excuse by dropping the dreaded Janet Jackson term "wardrobe malfunction." She is SO out of her element in the media it’s just too funny watching her fail miserably at putting her spin on things, thinking ever so erroneously that she’s outsmarted us.

UPDATE: Only one day after that silly press conference, Shanna Moakler has just resigned as pageant director for the Miss California USA pageant. She released a statement to Us magazine:

"Since the press conference yesterday, I had a chance to think about what has taken place, and I feel that at this time it is in my best interest to resign from the Miss California USA organization.

I cannot with a clear conscious move forward supporting and promoting the Miss Universe Organization when I no longer believe in it, or the contracts I signed committing myself as a youth. I want to be a role model for young women with high hopes of pageantry, but now feel it more important to be a role model for my children. I am sorry and hope I have not let any young supporters down but wish them the best of luck in fulfilling their dreams."

Trump is not too bright. His decision to allow Prejean to keep her crown will continue to bring about consequences like this one. Good job, Trumpsy.

It is not a wardrobe malfunction when it's just you and a photographer

Get ready for even higher-than-Wall-E like praise for Up

“Up”, the latest in a long line of successful Pixar films, opens the Cannes Film Festival today and is already accumulating fantastic reviews and praise. The film opens wide May 29th and is expected to be yet another critical and box office success for the animation studio. “Up” will also be presented in 3D, which should give the film an additional boost both visually and at the box office.

Touted as winsome, touching and arguably the funniest Pixar effort ever, the gorgeously rendered, high-flying adventure is a tidy 90-minute distillation of all the signature touches that came before it. Last year’s effort from Pixar was Wall-E, a film which I still believe to be one of the most overrated movies of the decade. I wish I would have liked it. My gut is telling me that this new one will be more to my liking, and will actually contain, oh I don’t know, a STORY. I’ve read several reviews already, and it’s looking like Up may just get that Best Picture nomination it was hoping for with Wall-E.

As for other highlights from this year’s Cannes fest, Lars von Trier will debut “Antichrist,” starring Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg, about a grieving couple taking refuge in the woods.

Ang Lee is back with “Taking Woodstock” a quirky comedy from Universal starring Comedy Central cult actor Demetri Martin. Martin plays an interior designer in 1969 deciding how to come out to his parents while helping them run their run-down Catskills hotel.

Jane Campion, who won the Golden Palm for “The Piano” in 1993 (where the hell has she been?), returns to Cannes with “Bright Star.” The film is another romantic drama set in the 19th century, about a love story between the poet John Keats and his next-door neighbor Fanny Brawn, an outspoken student of fashion.

But what may be the most anticipated films to be shown at the Festival will be Heath Ledger’s last performance before his death in 2008 from an accidental overdose. No, Dark Knight was not his last film. Terry Gilliam’s long-delayed “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” is relegated to the end of the festival and should be a huge draw.

Thanks to The Wrap for their Cannes coverage.

Going UP? Cannes do!

Best Idol performance of the year goes to… Kris? Huh?

I haven’t been a big fan of Kris Allen this year on Idol. He’s had a few good moments, but I find him to be generally boring and only getting this far on his looks. With his first performance last night of Apologize, Kris did nothing to change my mind about him. Like Simon, I thought he was all but done.

Then for his next song, his own song choice, he took the stage with a guitar and belted out a fantastic version of Kanye West’s Heartless. I think I had to pick my jaw up off the floor when we has done – it was that good. Adam’s rendition of Mad World last month was amazing as well, but Kris’s performance of Heartless last night was the only one that had that David Cook-doing-Billie-Jean star-making quality to it. For a guy who has bored me all year, it was jarring to see him blow me (and even my wife, who hates the original song and shares my indifference to Kris) away.

So where does this leave us? Will Simon’s plea to vote for Adam keep him in the finals? Is Gokey going home? Did Kris redeem himself? If there’s any justice in the world, Danny should be packing his bags. He was great at the beginning, but hasn’t shown enough personality lately. What do you think?
If you missed it, and even if you’re not an Idol fan or Kris fan, you should check out his stunning rendition of Heartless below.

Kris Allen saves the best for last. Good timing, dude.
