James Franco and Anne Hathaway re-enact 'Grease'Will James Franco and Anne Hathaway have any chemistry when they host Sunday's Oscars? Judging by a video posted on Franco's Facebook page, they go together like rama-lama-lama… you know the rest. As part of the awards ceremony's opening montage, the duo recreated scenes from several classic movies, including "Grease." In Franco's 19-second clip, circus-like music plays over washed-out, home-movie-style footage of the actors reenacting Danny and Sandy's famous "You're the One That I Want" number at an amusement park funhouse (hello, Shake Shack!). Franco sports a retro '50s pompadour while Hathaway wears a mess of curls and skintight black spandex. Which other classic film moments will the pair be performing?

Franco, Hathaway on what to expect at the OscarsDon't expect any Ricky Gervais-style jokes when Anne Hathaway and James Franco host the Academy Awards on Sunday. "I can guarantee that if you’re looking for someone to call people out, we’re not your hosts," Hathaway, who is collaborating on jokes with the show's writers, told the Hollywood Reporter. "I think that humor is really difficult to pull off, and I’m not particularly adept at it," she continued. "I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing it. Also, I don’t mean to sound overly serious, but I am the youngest host in history and I have no business being cynical or calling anyone out. I certainly haven’t earned the right to do that." Anne Hathaway: 'SNL' character wasn't really Katie HolmesThough her recent "Saturday Night Live" impersonation of Katie Holmes was spot-on, Anne Hathaway insists she wasn't even attempting to imitate the actress. "It wasn't really Katie Holmes; it was more [her 'Dawson's Creek' character] Joey Potter," Hathaway told the Hollywood Reporter of the November 20 skit, which had Holmes fidgeting with her hair, slouching bashfully, and frequently becoming breathless and at a loss for words while being interviewed by Miley Cyrus (Vanessa Bayer) on the mock talk show "Pretty Cool." While the 28-year-old "Love and Other Drugs" star may have had Holmes acting spacey throughout the sketch, she swears she meant no offense. "I was a teenager when 'Dawson's Creek' was airing, and I was a pretty avid fan," explains Hathaway, "so it just sort of came from that." Anne Hathaway's relationship deal breaker? FraudAnne Hathaway is one actress who clearly has a sense of humor. Hathaway opens up about romantic relationships in Vogue's November cover story, and when the interviewer asked her what her “deal breakers” are when it comes to men, she paused for a moment before responding, “Uh . . . fraud?” and exploding with laughter.

She spoke with the magazine about the fallout from the high profile relationship, which she said has made her “wary.” FULL POST Finding the good ... everywhere!Look what you've started!

Thursday, the Clinton Global Initiative honored Brad Pitt for helping to rebuild hurricane-ravaged New Orleans. So far, Pitt's "Make It Right" project has completed 13 eco-friendly single-family houses in the city's Ninth Ward, all with such features as "green roofs" which dramatically reduce heating and cooling costs. Pitt says the project's goal is to build 150 such houses. Meanwhile, the Hollywood trade paper Variety hosted a "Power of Women" luncheon in Beverly Hills, and I don't know whether it was a coincidence, or they were just sucking up to you Find The Good readers, but it seemed everyone wanted to discuss their charitable work:
