What Lautner and Swift Did for Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day will be that much sweeter with a song from Taylor Swift, don't ya think?

The singer, who plays opposite Taylor Lautner in the upcoming ensemble romantic comedy from director Garry Marshall, will likely be writing and performing a tune for the flick.

"We hope she does," Marshall told me yesterday at Variety's inaugural Power of Women luncheon in Beverly Hills. "But when people write songs, they always want to see the movie.

"[Taylor] wants to see the part that she's in," he added. "I just finished, so I need to edit for a second."

Marshall had hoped that Lautner and Swift would have bigger roles in the movie. Sadly, their busy schedules didn't allow for it.

"She writes and sings and he does the vampire thing," Marshall said. "But I discovered Taylor Lautner ran track back in Minnesota. That's why I have him jumping hurdles in the movie. She likes to dance and he likes to jump a hurdle, so we made up the scene for them."

Valentine's Day also reunites Marshall with Julia Roberts. He was quick to shoot down the never-ending rumor that there will be a sequel to their hit Pretty Woman.

However, Marshall did reveal that he's considering another Pretty Woman project. Read on for the scoop...

Rate-a-Trailer: Will You Heart Valentine's Day?

While watching this first look at the upcoming romantic comedy Valentine's Day, we were trying to figure out who isn't in it.

After all, the ensemble cast is quite the laundry list, including the likes of Jennifer Garner, Bradley Cooper, Anne Hathaway, Julia Roberts, Patrick Dempsey, both Jessica Biel and Alba, as well as Ashton Kutcher, who obviously managed to stop twittering long enough to take part.

And while the trailer itself doesn't really reveal much in the way of storyline (it is just a teaser, after all), what little it does show seems mildly amusing and pretty harmless.

The movie hits theaters in February 2010. Just in time for, well, you know.

More from Marc Malkin

Joe Jonas is moving up the movie-star ladder.

I just got word that Joe is close to joining Hollywood hotshots like Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba, Patrick Dempsey, Jamie Foxx and Queen Latifah in director Garry Marshall's romantic comedy Valentine's Day.

Yup, the same movie that also has appearances by Joe's ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift, Twilight star Taylor Lautner and Emma Roberts.

No word on Joe's role, but...

This Is Why We Love Anne Hathaway

It's hard not to love Anne Hathaway…especially when she buys you pizza.

On Sunday, the Oscar nominee starlet finished off her NYC stage debut in Twelfth Night at Central Park's Delacorte Theatre, produced by the New York Shakespeare Festival and the Public Theatre.

Believe it or not, the performances were completely free on a first come, first served basis, which, in the city that never sleeps, means just that. People get in line for tickets late in the evening and wait literally all night.

So, at 3 a.m. Sunday morning, sweetie pie Anne brought the night owls a snack! She handed slices of pizza to the entire line.

If that's not awesome, we don't know what is.

Apparently, the late hour didn't affect her performance. Alec Baldwin caught the show and blogged that she "seems to do nearly everything right, whether it be on screen and now on the stage."

We couldn't agree more.

Rogen, Hathaway, Jackman, Franco, Rudd Join the Academy

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 are.

Rogen and Franco are one 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.

Rise 'n' Shine: America's Ode to The Hoff

•  Britain's Got Talent introduces you Susan Boyle. America's Got Talent brings you this (and sends it to the next round). No wonder it's not the same worldwide phenomenon.

•  Larry King makes a comment that he thinks Ryan Seacrest should replace him one day. When an audience laughs, he doesn't understand why.

•  We want to be besties with Anne Hathaway more than ever before. Apparently, she likes to play stylist and lends out her clothes.

•  Michelle Pfeiffer may not want you to call her a cougar, but she'd be happy to be Catwoman one more time.

•  Ted Danson doesn't eat fish, and it has nothing to do with lessons learned from that whole Jeremy Piven debacle.

•  Dear Paris Hilton: We knew you'd find the perfect BFF in Dubai, a "huge" one that wears lots of accessories, has humps to match yours and spits when you deem things "not hot." Congrats. Love, Rise 'n' Shine

Sorry, Jennifer Aniston, we don't know where you put your keys. They're not in the Big Picture gallery.

Johnny Depp as Alice in Wonderland's Mad Hatter

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...

Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal to Do Drugs?

First comes marriage, then comes Viagra.

After playing a unhappily married couple in Brokeback Mountain, Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal are in talks to reteam for Love and Other Drugs, 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?

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...

•  Even if Anne Hathaway and Natalie Portman are faking it (they were supposedly both up for that sweet Judy Garland gig Hathaway scored), they have to potential to be the hottest gal pals in Hollywood. We dare you to come up with a more dynamic dream duo.

•  Jennifer Aniston must think she's Sean "Diddy" Combs or something, demanding an umbrella handler to shield her from the sun (and potential melting makeup).

•  How to be like Hugh Jackman: Take cold showers and keep your privates in a bag.

•  In case you were curious, here's Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson's Facebook status update status update.
