Getting sick of hearing about Wolverine yet? 20th Century Fox hopes not. Just in case you’re still undecided about seeing X-Men Origins: Wolverine this weekend to kick off the summer movie season, the director of the flick, Gavin Hood (who may or may not have sparred with execs on set) has announced that there will be multiple secret endings tacked onto different prints of the X-Men prequel when it comes out. Remember how only you and a few other folks knew to stay until after the credits during Iron Man to see Nick Fury? Yeah, it’s gonna be like that….

From THR:

“The Tonight Show” host Jay Leno has been hospitalized.

According to reports, Leno checked himself into a hospital Thursday for an undisclosed illness.

The Thursday and Friday tapings of “The Tonight Show” have been canceled.

Ryan Reynolds, Jules Sylvester and swing band Big Bad Voodoo Daddy were scheduled to appear on the Thursday show, which was replaced with a repeat of the episode featuring Paul Giamatti, Emma Roberts and Prince.

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper was slated to appear Friday.

This is a rare cancellation for Leno, who will bow out as the host of “Tonight” on May 29.

I don’t have much more information regarding this than The Hollywood Reporter does, but I have been hearing reports that Leno was joking with doctors and nurses, even trying out monologue jokes on them, and that he’s expected to return to work on Monday.

That doesn’t make it sound too serious, but this is the first Tonight Show Jay has missed in 17 years.

After Jessica’ Biels screencaps from Powder Blue jumped all over the internet, it seems like people are all psyched about the stripping, but not about the movie. Take the above shot, for instance.

That’s Jessica Biel and her fantastic butt and Cati Jean, her stripper trainer for Powder Blue. Why this picture surfaced AFTER the screencaps of Jessica Biel stripping is a mystery, and it seems to be causing confusion.

Take this story from Absolute Now:

Justin Timberlake must be the only man on the planet who has a problem with Jessica Biel’s body. The pop hunk is said to be concerned that his sexy girlfriend shows off too much of her natural assets in her role as a nymphomaniac stripper in Nailed. “Justin respects Jessica’s career choices just as she does his, but he is growing increasingly uncomfortable about the kind of attention Jessica is getting,” reports a source close to the couple. “He’s no prude but he is aware that Jessica is getting a lot of attention for reasons other than her acting talent. No man likes to have their woman ogled at and Justin is very protective of Jessica.”

That sounds like your basic non-story…except it mixes two Jessica Biel films. In Powder Blue she’s a stripper having a bad day. In Nailed, directed by David O Russell, she plays Sammy Joyce, a socially awkward small-town receptionist who has a nail accidentally shot into her head by a clumsy workman, eliciting wild sexual urges.

In Nailed, Biel will have a body double for the more sexy stuff where as in Powder Blue, it’s really her (hence the stripper training).

THIS is what happens when an A-lister shows their boobs in a bad movie. Careers get hurt, news gets manufactured and no one really knows nor wants to see Powder Blue.

This is how B-movies die. It’s kinda sad.

There goes another boutique studio. Fox Atomic, the arm of 20th Century Fox that handled the genre films and comedies aimed at the teenage to mid-20s market is going to fold up into 20th Century Fox, who will likely pick up some Atomic releases.

Atomic was started in 2007, but it’s death was slow. In January 2008, Fox and Fox Searchlight gobbled up Atomic’s marketing arm, and the studio hasn’t really been producing hits with fare like Turistas…

Rapper T.I. has been sentenced to a year in jail. Considering he was facing up to 10 years and $250,000 per count, I’d imagine the dude is sitting pretty with a guilty plea and a year and a day…

A new Star Trek poster that appeared exclusively on Empire seems to be bringing back the tagline: “The Future Begins” which - if you remember - was the original subtitle to Terminator Salvation(: The Future Begins).

Of course, new T4 posters have been switching up the tagline to things like We Fight Back, leaving The Future Begins to our other future beginning franchise reboot, JJ Abrams Star Trek.

Here’s the thing though: didn’t the future begin when I woke up this morning? And won’t it be beginning the day after Star Trek opens? Is “The Future Begins” really that catchy of a tag line that two blockbuster tent poles were vying for it?
