Spy Kids: All the Time in the World
A retired secret agent, now juggling a family, is called
back into action when a maniacal villain threatens to
take over the planet. On the surface, Marissa Cortez
Wilson (Jessica Alba) has it all; married
to a famous spy hunting television reporter, a new baby
and intelligent twin step kids. But in reality, trying
to mother Rebecca and Cecil, who clearly don't want her
around, is her toughest challenge yet. Also, her
husband, Wilbur (Joel McHale), wouldn't
know a spy if he lived with one which is exactly the
case; Marissa's a retired secret agent. Marissa's world
is turned upside down when the maniacal Timekeeper
(Jeremy Piven) threatens to take over the planet and
she's called back into action by the head of OSS, home
of the greatest spies and where the now defunct Spy Kids
division was created. With Armageddon quickly
approaching, Rebecca and Cecil are thrust into action
when they learn their boring stepmom was once a top
agent and now the world's most competitive ten year olds
are forced to put their bickering aside and rely on
their wits. With a little help from a couple of very
familiar Spy Kids, Carmen and Juni Cortez, and some mind
blowing gadgets, they just may be able to save the world
and possibly bring their family together while they're
at it.

cameras to tell the world of the violence associated with the first free

The Buzz...
Lizzie Maguire is not only married, but she's got a bun in the
oven. Running deft interference on tabloid intrusion, Hilary Duff
posted a pregnancy announcement on her official website, which promptly crashed
due to the influx of traffic. The note came alongside personal photos from her
wedding to Mike Comrie.
Dancing With the Stars co-host and Season 7 winner Brooke Burke
has married her fiance of 5 years, David Charvet. The wedding took
place on a Yacht in St. Bart's. The couple's children, Heaven Rain and Shaya
Braven, also attended, as did Burke's kids from her previous marriage, Neriah
and Sierra Sky.
The latest celebrity (and we use the term lightly) to take nude pics for PETA
is Brooke Hogan, who unveiled the photos with the help of her
father, Hulk Hogan, at the Women In Cages exhibit in Miami. It was
also his 58th birthday. So... that's one idea of what not to give your father on
his big day. Hulk playfully covered Brooke's naughty bits in the photos at the
event. The pics depict 23 year old Brooke caught in a cage. The "actress," is
working on getting in shape for a new film role, and is looking fit.
Looks like Dancing With the Stars may have an actual star to do the
dancing next season. Oscar nominee Queen Latifah and
somewhat less talented but still pretty famous Jersey Shore star

stages next year, reports TMZ. Tiffani Thiessen (Saved
By the Bell), Kristin Cavallari (The Hills) and
Rob Kardashian will also compete.

Ruffalo), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Nick Fury (Samuel
L. Jackson) and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson). The
currently in construction set is located at East 9th Street between Euclid and
Prospect Avenues, where fake rubble and crushed cars indicate that a large scale
action sequence will be filmed there.
The View host Joy Behar has tied the knot with
boyfriend Steve Janowitz. Behar and Janowitz have been together
since the mid 1980s and Behar regularly refers to him as her "spousal
equivalent." In March of 2009 Behar mentioned on The View that she and Janowitz
were considering marriage, but the speculation and media attention bothered her,
so she ultimately called it off.
Miranda Cosgrove, the star of iCarly, may have had a
terrible day yesterday when her tour bus crashed into a semi and she was
injured, along with the bus driver and other passengers, but at least she can
always count on her fans for support. "Thank u so much for all your messages.
They mean so much to me," she tweeted on Friday. "Yesterday was extremely scary
& I'm just so happy everyone's gonna be okay." Cosgrove, who was sleeping on a
couch toward the front of the bus, broke her ankle in the crash. Her mother was
also "really beaten up," but will be okay. Tour mates sleeping on bunks in the
back of the bus were not injured.

Dave Mustaine is trying to set up a supergroup with former

he'd love to put their musical forces together in a collaborative project. And
he's vowed he'll keep working on the Metallica frontman in the hope of
persuading him to join in with him, Ulrich and Megadeth bassist David
Ellefson.
