Big Divergent news: Kate Winslet has officially signed on to play Jeanine. Being bad never looked so good (we assume).

The mayor of Pawnee still hasn’t been cast — we’re holding out for you, Bill Murray — but we can tell you who’s playing the mayor of Partridge, Minn. (Ben’s hometown) on an upcoming episode of Parks and Rec: the great J.K. Simmons.

Awesome news: Jenny Slate (of SNL and Marcel the Shell fame) is going to guest star on Parks and Rec as Jean-Ralphio’s twin sister.

Aaron Paul has a Need for Speed, bitch — he’s just signed on as the lead in DreamWorks’ upcoming feature film inspired by the hit video game series.

As we learned on Revenge’s first season finale, Emily’s mother is alive after all. Hooray! But which 40-something to 50-something actress should play the woman who birthed the Hamptons’ top revenge specialist? We’ve got a few ideas — but let us know what you think as well.

Exclusive: We’ve learned that Big Love star Chloe Sevigny is in final talks to join the second season of American Horror Story. Sevigny will play a character named Shelly the Nymphomaniac — seriously — who is a mortal enemy of Jessica Lange’s as-yet unnamed character.

After years of attempted projects from the likes of Spike Lee, Ken Burns, and Robert Redford, a real Jackie Robinson biopic is finally in the works. But who should play the legendary second baseman?

Some ideas: Derek Luke (Antwone Fisher) or Anthony Mackie (The Hurt Locker); Mehcad Brooks (True Blood); Rob Brown (The Express); Michael B. Jordan (Friday Night Lights); and Aldis Hodge (Leverage). Who would you suggest?

In all the Hunger Games hullabaloo, we forgot to tell you that Michelle Williams is in talks to play the good witch in Disney’s Wizard of Oz prequel, Oz, The Great and Powerful. If she takes the part, she’ll join two other stunning non-hags—Rachel Weisz and Mila Kunis—who will play sister witches destined for evil, as well as James Franco as the wizard-to-be.

We’re hearing that this guy may be in talks with CBS to replace Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men. Clearly, the above promotional picture from Dude, Where’s My Car? predicted this moment (note the ladies in the background).
