Christoph Waltz Playing A Circus Freak Hollywood is always looking for great villains. Now I’m told that Christoph Waltz, a frontrunner in the Best Supporting Actor race for his portrayal of the charmingly sadistic Col Hans Landa, will make a deal to star with Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson in "Water for Elephants,"the Richard LaGravanese-scripted adaptation of the Sara Gruen novel for Fox 2000.

Hollywood's Biggest Flops in The Last 5 Years Sean Penn delivered "one of his greatest screen performances" as Willie Stark in " All the King's Men, " Nevertheless, the Sony Pictures film earned just $9 million at the worldwide boxoffice.

Fox's 2005 film " Stay " was third, a movie that failed to earn back

Penn took a Tinseltown time-out back in June when he announced he was forgoing future film projects to focus on his family as his marriage to Robin Wright Penn went down the tubes. Penn’s move sank the Farrelly Brothers’ hopes to get the long-awaited Stooges flick off the ground in 2009. “We got him back,” Bobby Farrelly told the Track. “He always said he wanted to do it after, you know, taking care of his family.” Allegedly, the Rhode Island-bred bros wanted to replace Penn with Paul Giamatti, but that didn’t pan out. Now that they have their Larry back and Benicio Del Toro is still interested in playing Moe, Curly still needs to be cast. There was word, way back when, that Jim Carrey was interested. But Bobby claims otherwise. Please Leav
