Sandler, Judd Apatow and Robert Smigel have written the script, which was recently picked up by Columbia Pictures. Smigel is currently doing a rewrite on the property, and the studio plans to have the project in front of the cameras by this summer. - Halle Berry -- Monster's Ball
File this under resurrected good news: Nefertiti, Halle Berry's collaboration with Monster's Ball director Marc Forster, may be emerging from development hell. The MTV Movies Blog posted a short (like, twenty-second) clip about the project from a recent interview with Berry (watch it here). - Snoop Dogg -- Album
Debonair hip hop artist Snoop Dogg hosted the 2007 MTV Europe Music Awards, where pop punk goddess Avril Lavigne was the biggest winner, taking home two awards -- Most Addictive Track and Solo Artist of 2007. Album of the Year was won by Nelly Furtado for 'Loose,' which sold seven million copies, while 30 Seconds to Mars triumphed in the Rock Out category. Linkin Park took home the gong for Band of 2007, while the on-going feud between Kanye West and Justice was settled once and for all when Justice won the Video Star prize for the second year in a row. The U.K.'s biggest rock act Muse scooped the best live act 'Headliner' Award and won the U.K. and Ireland category. - Robert Smigel -- Late Night
Robert Smigel's appearance at the Museum of Television and Radio last night exceeded expectations; the level of revelation the discussion unleashed was incredible. The show was slated to begin at 6:30pm sharp, but due to heavy traffic, Mr. Smigel arrived 30 minutes late. To keep the natives from getting too restless, museum coordinators decided to show an extensive comp reel of some of Robert's greatest hits. The reel was probably the best way to start the evening, as it revealed how Smigel is the brains behind SNL and Conan's most famous sketches and characters. It contained SNL bits such as Shatner at a Trekkie convention, Phil Hartman's portrayal as a bi-polar Ronald Reagan, the infamous Schmitt's Gay ad (the version with the Van Halen soundtrack, not aired on SNL), the Ambiguously Gay Duo, the Ex-Presidents, the Fun with Real Audio shorts, Adventures of Mr. T., Christmastime for the Jews, Smigel's more famous Conan and Triumph moments, and culminated with a viewing of the TV Funhouse pilot in its entirety. - Jesus Walks
At the Grammy Awards of 2005, "Jesus Walks" was one of only two rap songs nominated for Song of the Year, following "Lose Yourself" by Eminem from the year before. West, Rhymefest and Miri Ben-Ari won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Song for co-writing the song's lyrics. "Jesus Walks" was nominated for several gospel awards before the awards committees learned that the song contained some explicit language, and removed it from these awards. - Kid Rock -- St Tropez
Rap-rocker Kid Rock was arrested in Nashville, Tennessee yesterday morning on assault charges. The hitmaker, 34, was charged with simple assault - a misdemeanor - after allegedly punching DJ Jay Campos in Christie's Cabaret stripclub in the early hours of this morning. Nashville Night Court Commissioner Howard Taradash set bond at $3,000 for the star, who remains in custody until bail is posted. Local police Sergeant James Smith says, "Inside the establishment there was a squabble concerning, I guess, the selection of music. Again there are no major injuries but an assault did take place." - John Legend -- Ordinary People
In 2004, John Legend (then known primarily as an in-demand all-star studio session man) stepped into the solo spotlight as a premier singer-songwriter-pianist-performer in his own right with his debut album Get Lifted. Driven in part by the hit singles "Ordinary People" and "Used To Love U," Get Lifted was a critical and commercial triumph, earning John an astounding eight Grammy nominations -- he won Best New Artist, Best Male R&B Vocal Performance ("Ordinary People") and Best R&B album -- and selling more than three million copies worldwide. For most performers, achievements of that magnitude would be the culmination of a dream. For John Legend... awards and sales are merely fringe benefits. His real goal and gift is to tap into something honest and true within his audience and himself and to connect on that level. When asked what he hopes his fans will glean from his much-anticipated sophomore album, John replies, "I want them to hear that I've grown. - Kylie Minogue -- Light Years

Jon Stewart is a nine-time Emmy-winning American comedian, satirist, actor, writer, author, and producer. He is perhaps best known as the host of Comedy Central’s "The Daily Show" and for his political satire. Stewart started off as a stand-up comedian but later moved on to television, hosting "Short Attention Span Theater" for Comedy Central. He then went on to host his own show on MTV, called "The Jon Stewart Show". - Rachel Mcadams -- Ryan Gosling
Like Lindsay Lohan, Canadian Rachel McAdams got her start with Disney. She appeared in the Disney series "The Famous Jett Jackson" and a couple of movies, but she first earned attention in "Mean Girls" where she played Lindsay's nemesis, the head of the mean girls' clique. Last year, Rachel beat out Britney Spears and Ashley Judd for a role in "The Notebook" with James Garner and Ryan Gosling that elevated her Hollywood status even more. Between the two movies--"Mean Girls" and "The Notebook"--Rachel received a record five MTV Movie Awards nominations in one year. The same year, she was nominated for an impressive five Teen Choice Awards. This summer Rachel stars in the comedy "Wedding Crashers" with Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn.
