Your pop culture cheat sheet

Posted: 01:30 PM ET

Here's what's happening in the world of entertainment today:

The cut "Bruno" scene featuring LaToya Jackson will be part of the movie's upcoming DVD, People reports. It was removed from the film at the last minute due to Michael Jackson's death, which occurred days before the movie's release. In the 90-second scene, Sacha Baron Cohen interviews LaToya in character as Bruno.

Tuesday night's highly-anticipated premiere of "V" paid off in the ratings for ABC, according to The Hollywood Reporter. It was the highest-rated premiere for a new scripted show so far this season.

James Franco will not only appear in several episodes of "General Hospital," he also plans to guest star on "30 Rock," according to EW.com.

Variety reports that Sigourney Weaver and John C. Reilly have joined a cast which includes "The Hangover's" Ed Helms and Anne Heche for the comedy "Cedar Rapids." Weaver will play Helms' former seventh-grade teacher in the movie, which has already begun shooting.

Now on DVD: action blockbuster "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra," Denzel Washington and John Travolta in "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3," Bush stage spoof "You're Welcome, America" starring Will Ferrell, teen comedy "I Love You, Beth Cooper," family fare "Aliens in the Attic," documentary "Food, Inc.," Hitchcock classic "North by Northwest: 50th Anniversary Edition," plus TV sets "Star Wars The Clone Wars: The Complete Season One," "G.I.
