Brad Pitt and WIll Ferrell Make New Megamind Trailer Super!

In 2004, Disney threw two things I love most into one film: Pixar animation and superheroes. The result was the Academy Award winning blockbuster The Incredibles, a high octane adventure unlike anything that the studio had done before. This winter, DreamWorks Animation gives their cinematic answer to the Barr family with Megamind, a satirical take on superhero movies in which a notorious villain loses his oomph after he accidentally kills his nemesis.

With a cast that includes Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Jonah Hill and Brad Pitt, Megamind is sure to be the holiday hit that Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks are hoping for. Have a look at the new trailer for the film, which flies into theaters on November 5th.

Lindsay Lohan Arrest Warrant Issued by L.A. Judge

An arrest warrant was issued for Lindsay Lohan this morning, after she failed to appear at her alcohol progress review hearing. Apparently, her passport was stolen while she was in Cannes celebrating other people's movies, and therefore was unable to board a plane to Los Angeles and in make it back in time for her court date. Her attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley said, "Ms. Lohan's passport was stolen.

She filed a police report. She intended to fly back at the earliest possible time. I don't know what else to tell you. She had reservations for a flight." But Judge Marsha Revel did very little short of yelling out a bad word (one that happens to also be the name of card game that was invented by the most mischievous of people). Responding to Holley's statement about Lindsay's missed flight connection, she said "There is no valid excuse [for Lohan not being here]. If she wanted to be here, she could've been here. She could've come back two days early from Cannes. She has a history of not keeping scheduled appointments."

YES! She COULD have been there! She could have yanked her 23 years of life experience back into her corner and realized it would be safest to come back from Cannes a tiny bit early, so if something bad happened, she'd have time to deal with it and still make it to the court on time. But Lindsay Lohan never, really never, has had to be anywhere on time -- so she doesn't know what the rest of us know...which is how customary it is for babies to hit the fan when you're in a time crunch. It's just like when you're going to the airport (heeeeey!) and you leave the house around two hours before your flight is to take off. The idea behind it is you give yourself time for your tire to burst or to be mistaken for a drug mule without having to miss your flight. But when Lindsay Lohan misses a flight, she just books another one! Or drives! But you know when that doesn't work? When you're in France, and you lose your passport.

Jurisdiction laws prevent Lohan from being arrested in France, but her mal-milk-nourished bones become fair game when she arrives in L.A. So will she turn her lawyer in or will she be greeted at LAX by police officers, who if she met in a club she'd flirt with unabashedly? Is there a third option I'm not considering?
