Demi Moore has joined the biopic Lovelace as Gloria Steinem, whose involvement in the story came through a profile she wrote of Linda Lovelace for Ms. describing how the porn actress was forced into shooting the infamous Deep Throat. Also newly onboard are Adam Brody, as Deep Throat co-star Harry Reems, and Eric Roberts, as lie-detector expert Nat Laurendi. Wait, hold up, sorry: Seth Cohen is playing a porn star? Probably should have led with that information. Grade: B [HR]
It had already been reported that MTV was bringing back Punk’d, its seminal hidden-camera celebrity prank show, but now it’s confirmed. With original puppetmasters, producers Jason Goldberg and Ashton Kutcher, on board, Punk’d 2.0 will launch sometime next year. A sneak peek will air during MTV’s New Year’s Eve special, in which the new host will be revealed. Originally, Justin Bieber was attached as said host, but there’s no official word on that. Is it possible our dude has gotten too famous to host a dumb T.V. show since this plan was hatched? If so: Cody Simpson, this is your big chance! Grade: D [Deadline]
