First there was Drew Barrymore, then Paul Weitz, then James Mangold, and now there are reports that Juan Antonio Bayona might be directing “Eclipse,” the third movie in the “Twilight” series.

This is an interesting pick, because Bayona is a protege of Guillermo Del Toro, who’s done some pretty interesting movies over the years, including the creepy “Pan’s Labyrinth.”

Bayona’s debut film, “The Orphanage,” centered on kids who’d been killed under mysterious circumstances. Though “Eclipse” will be romantic and adventurous, it also contains a mystery of unsolved murders. So maybe Bayona isn’t such a bad choice. He’s currently on tap to direct the thriller “Hater” for Universal.

Still, I dunno … he seems like a weird choice.

Any thoughts on this?

Aw, the Chihuahuas are out on DVD today! My 11-year-old daughter and I loved this movie and look forward to watching it on DVD. Here’s what’s new on DVD today:

Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Drew Barrymore voices the part of Chloe, a pampered Beverly Hills pooch who suddenly finds herself lost on the wild streets of Mexico. Also stars Piper Perabo and features the voices of George Lopez and Andy Garcia. Loved this fun movie! [Film Gecko Review] [Official Site]

Apparently, Drew Barrymore is just not that into John Mayer. In fact, according to this video from CelebTV, she told her friend Jennifer Aniston to dump him, saying he’s only using her to further his own career.

Personally, I think John Mayer just needs to sort of disappear. Every time I see him, he always seems like he’s trying to be funny or smart or whatever. I mean, I don’t know the guy, but I’m thinking maybe Jen could do better than him, too. Every minute she spends with him is keeping her from her true love. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. And props to Drew Barrymore for speaking her mind. 

What do you think? Yes, that’s my shameless celeb question of the day!

Jennifer Aniston is in theaters right now in “He’s Just Not That Into You.” The actress spoke with Julie Chen of CBS News about her own dating perils:

The Pink Panther 2. The world’s most valuable treasures are stolen! Thank goodness Inspector Clouseau (Steve Martin) is on the job. Also stars Jean Reno, Alfred Molina, Emily Mortimer, John Cleese and Andy Garcia. [Trailer 1] [Trailer 2] [Official Site]

He’s Just Not That Into You. Sometimes, that’s all there is to it, you know? And this group of folks in Baltimore figure that out. Stars Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Aniston, and Ben Affleck. [Preview] [Trailer] [Red Carpet Video] [Official Site]

Here’s a fun video from CelebTV.com on the red carpet premiere of "He’s Just Not That Into You." Can’t wait to see this movie on Friday, Feb. 6, 2009. Read more about the movie here, and check out the trailer here. 

I posted a preview of "He’s Just Not That Into You" a while back, but the YouTube video got pulled, so let’s try this again. Click here to read more about the movie and see the poster, and check out the trailer below.

The advance reviews for this romantic comedy haven’t been all great, but I love all the players — Jennifer Connelly, Bradley Cooper, Kevin Connolly, Ginnifer Goodwin, Justin Long, Jennifer Aniston, Scarlett Johansson, Drew Barrymore, and Ben Affleck. So even if the movie isn’t a knock-out, I have a feeling I’ll still like it. It hits theaters this Friday, Feb. 6, 2009.

The 66th Annual Golden Globes are tonight – 8 p.m. EST on NBC - and everyone looks lovely! It’s fun to see both movie stars and TV stars intermingling on the red carpet. A few thoughts on the red carpet:

Drew Barrymore (pictured) was hand-in-hand with Jessica Lange. They play mother-daughter in an upcoming film, "Grey Gardens." Drew looked so glamorous with her blonde hair and buff bod. She seems like she really has it together these days!

Miley Cyrus talked about getting her mom’s hand-me-down Porsche, but her dad really wants her to get an old Corvette. Also, she didn’t really say much to the Jonas Brothers when they walked by, but Billy Ray talked to them. Oh, and Billy Ray managed to step on her dress at one point. Come on, dad.

America Ferrera talked about the relaxed atmosphere of the Globes, because people are sitting at tables sipping champagne and talking amongst themselves.

I was just lamenting to a friend that there don’t seem to be that many chick-flicks out lately. We had “Sex and the City” earlier this year, “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2,” “Enchanted,” “Nights in Rodanthe” and a few others. Really, not a lot, though.

But this one looks like a great chick-flick! “He’s Just Not That Into You” is set in Baltimore, and weaves together several stories about love, romance and everything in between.

Jennifer Connelly plays a woman stuck in a tired marriage with Ben (Bradley Cooper). Kevin Connolly plays a guy named Connor, who’s pining after a woman who’s having an affair with Ben.

More after the jump, including a trailer…
