While you were sleeping

Stallone... brought to you by Sylvester Stallone being creepily excited over the trophy-carrier at the CinemaCon Awards in Vegas, where he was given the Career Achievement Award. (Ethan Miller/Getty Images).

Will Smith and Denzel Washington: Together at last? Deadline"Adam McKay is in negotiations to develop to direct Uptown Saturday Night, the Warner Bros remake that the studio hopes will star Will Smith and Denzel Washington ...McKay most recently helmed The Other Guys, and before that Talladega Nights. Stallone2The 1974 comedy starred Bill Cosby and Sidney Poitier as pals who visit an illegal nightclub, and are forced to hand over their wallets to thieves. Turns out one of them contains a winning lottery ticket, emboldening the duo to bump up against the criminal element to get back the wallet. There are plenty of remakes that elicit groans. If this package comes together (Smith and Washington have long wanted to work together), with McKay’s comic sensibility, this redo could be exceptional. The original cast was lined with the likes of Harry Belafonte, Flip Wilson and Richard Pryor, and the remake could follow suit by star-casting the supporting roles."

Spawn "Sarah Michelle Gellar is going to be a mom again. The Ringer actress, 35, and husband Freddie Prinze Jr., 36, are expecting their second child, People confirms. “She and Freddie are thrilled,” a source close to Gellar tells People. “They love their little girl more than anything in the world and know that love will only multiply. She is such a fantastic mom; it is just great news.” The couple are already parents to 2-year-old daughter Charlotte Grace, who was born in September 2009."

Great news for Fringe fans Coming Soon: "FOX has picked up "Fringe" for a fifth and final 13-episode season, it was announced today by Kevin Reilly, President of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company. "Fringe" co-creator and executive producer J.J. Abrams said, "We are thrilled and beyond grateful that FOX - and our fans - have made the impossible possible: 'Fringe" will continue into a fifth season that will allow the series to conclude in a wild and thrilling way. All of us at Bad Robot are forever indebted to our viewers and the amazingly supportive FOX network for allowing the adventures of Fringe Division to not only continue, but to resolve in a way that perfectly fits the show." "This pickup means the world (both of them) to us, because we love sharing these stories with our enthusiastic fans," added "Fringe" showrunners and executive producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman. "On behalf of the cast and crew, we applaud our fans and FOX for allowing us to imagine the impossibilities together for so long. Season Five is going to be a conclusive thrill ride for all of us."

All the other tables are super-jealous "Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan will be seated at the same table Saturday night at the White House Correspondents' Dinner ... TMZ has learned. Kim and Lindsay were both invited by Fox News Channel and they will be face-to-face at the table ... sources planning the event tell TMZ. As for whether there are any grudges between the two - we're told there are none. In fact, Kim has been supportive of Lindsay during her troubles and Lindsay attended Kim's wedding. We're told they are pretty close. The big question - Will Kim and Lindsay meet Prez Obama? One source directly involved with the event tells us, "No way. The President almost never mingles with the guests."
