Michael Douglas as Ronald Reagan in indie film?Michael Douglas' next role might be pulled from the history books. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Douglas is in talks to play former President Ronald Reagan in a film called "Reykjavik."

Ridley Scott, now serving as a producer on the film, at one point was considering directing, but at the moment Mike Newell is reportedly in talks to helm the $10 million project. THR notes that "Reykjavik's" producers are still looking for an actor to play Gorbachev - any thoughts on casting?

The series that added "fist-pumping," "GTL" and "smushing" into our vocabulary - not to mention giving an alternate meaning to "situation" - will kick off the beginning of the end on October 4 at 10 p.m.

Britney on 'X Factor': This time, she plays niceAn earlier promo of Britney Spears on "The X Factor" seemed to hint that the new judge has some of Simon Cowell's biting criticism in her, but a new clip shows a different side to the pop star.
