Naomi Watts to Play Princess Di.

Not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, I am so excited about this movie- way overdue. The bio pic is called "Caught in Flight" and yes, she has been officially cast. The movie will focus on the last two years of her life, after she divorced Charles and reinvented herself as a humanitarian apart from the royal family. My favorite! Who wants to see the People's Princess sad and trapped in a loveless marriage? Not I.

While I do have mixed feelings about Naomi Watts, it is mostly because I am so blah about her. I have no distinct idea of her as an actress. She's Oscar nominated actress, but I have no idea for what. I just keep telling myself "The Painted Veil". Amazing movie she made with Edward Norton. If she can do that again, I am on board.

She's Australian however, I'm sure the Brits will have a problem with that.

The Four Seasons.

I'm not a Jessica Biel fan, not in the least, but I am super excited about this movie she's going to be in with Luke Evans, called "Vivaldi" about the forbidden romance which develops between composer, priest and violin virtuoso Antonio Vivaldi and his protege, singer Anna Tessieri Giro, leading him to write his enduring masterpiece “The Four Seasons.”

I just finished a music appreciation class from last semester, so I can tell you... almost nothing about classical music. But I do like Vivaldi, so I'm excited.

Less excited that she's in the movie, but he is just adorable! Like a slightly older James McAvoy.

Ansari, McBride Have New Project.

Mandate Pictures has picked up a project pitched by Aziz Ansari and "30 Rock" writer Matt Hubbard. Ansari is attached to the project along with Danny McBride of "Pineapple Express" fame. Harris Wittels who writes for "Parks and Recreation" will pen the script. McBride is also producing the project alongside David Gordon Green, Jody Hill and Matt Reilly through their Rough House banner. The production company has a first-look deal with Mandate.

 While Ansari and McBride both held small roles in the Seth Rogen-starring "Observe and Report" in 2009, but the two comedians did not share screen time. Recently, Ansari and McBride were tapped to co-star in "30 Minutes or Less" an upcoming comedy from "Zombieland" director Ruben Fleischer about a junior high school teacher (Ansari) who is thrust into an explosive situation alongside his friend, a pizza delivery man. McBride is rumored to play a goon who straps a bomb to the delivery man's chest in order to motivate him to rob a bank. "30 Minutes or Less" is currently in pre-production.

I love Aziz. His tweets are why I stay on Twitter. Click here to see.
