Screening Filth And Wisdom NY.JPGAnyone remember that Madonna (right) directed a movie last year? Well, I'm not the only one who remembered Filth and Wisdom. She was honored (poked fun at?) with a Razzie nomination. You know the Razzies, for "the worst of the worst in entertainment." Other nominees included Tom Cruise, The Hottie and the Nottie, High School Musical 3 and a surprise nomination for Reese Witherspoon for Worst Actress for her work in Four Christmases and other 2008 films.

But Kate Hudson seemed to take it on the chin when she was nominated twice in the same category: Worst Screen Couple. This, on top of the dismal reviews her new movie, Bride Wars, is getting. Some people just can't get a break.

Taylor Lautner returns as Jacob Black in 'Twilight' sequel

Twilight fans, rejoice! Your favorite werewolf is definitely back for the sequel:

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Taylor Lautner will be back to morph into the monstrous Jacob Black in the Twilight sequel New Moon.

There had been talk that a bigger, buffer, more menacing actor might play the role when the second of Stephenie Meyer's hugely successful vampire novels hits movie screens come Nov. 20. Lautner, by comparison, appears lean and sweet-faced in part one. But distributor Summit Entertainment and director Chris Weitz confirmed Wednesday that Lautner would be returning.

Stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson will also be returning as the saga's doomed young lovers, high schooler Bella Swan and brooding vampire Edward Cullen.

Catherine Hardwicke's Twilight opened at No. 1 with a whopping $69.6 million at the box office in November, the biggest opening ever for a female director. It has since grossed about $177 million domestically.
