Amy Poehler

- Eclipse shocker: She said/they said! For the latest on the Twilight casting scandal, check out our coverage here.

- OMG! Are you serious? Amy Poehler heads back to SNL! We’re all about the funny ladies this week, so imagine our excitement when we saw that current Emmy-nominated actress Amy Poehler has agreed to return to co-anchor “Weekend Update” for several episodes in the fall! Entertainment Weekly reports that the skilled comedienne will reunite with Seth Meyers for the half-hour Thursday evening edition of the popular SNL segment beginning September 17. Poehler will do double-duty for several weeks as she continues to star in the second season of her hit comedy “Parks and Recreation”, which premieres (not coincidentally) the same night as “Weekend Update”. Whatever the reason behind her return, I think I speak for us all when I say...awesomesauce.

- Valentine’s Day cast gains three more! According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jamie Foxx, Queen Latifah and Carter Jenkins have all signed on for New Line's Garry Marshall-directed romantic comedy, Valentine’s Day. The three popular thespians are set to join a star-studded cast that already includes Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner, Shirley MacLaine, Bradley Cooper, Ashton Kutcher, Topher Grace, Emma Roberts, Hector Elizondo, Patrick Dempsey and Eric Dane. It would almost be faster to list who isn’t in the film! The movie, ostensibly an American version of the popular Love, Actually, will follow five interconnecting stories playing out in L.A. on February 14. I’m guessing we can look for this one come V-Day 2010…but don’t quote me on that!

- Jackson’s mom gets custody of kids The King of Pop’s three children, who range in age from 7 to 12, will remain with their grandmother, Katherine Jackson, according to the custody agreement reached in court today. The settlement allows visitation rights to Michael Jackson’s ex-wife and biological mom of two of the three children, Debbie Rowe. The statement released by the family today specifies that no money changed hands as a result of the agreement and allowed that Rowe's visits will be determined by a child psychologist selected and paid for jointly.
