Kristen Stewart, Ben Affleck to co-star in comedyWe don't typically get to see Kristen Stewart's humorous side, but we will in an upcoming movie. The actress confirmed to the Huffington Post that she's going to play an inexperienced con artist in the movie "Focus," which also stars Ben Affleck. The "Argo" filmmaker portrays a more experienced swindler who teams up with Stewart's character during his travels, and presumably hilarious moments ensue. It'll be directed by the same pair who led "Crazy, Stupid, Love," Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. Shooting is expected to start in April. Affleck, for one, should be happy to hear that 22-year-old Stewart's on board, as he was hoping this would come to pass. "She's terrific," he told E! News of his now certain co-star. Busy Philipps expecting second babyIn an era where celebrities share nearly everything on Twitter, Busy Philipps has set a new standard. The actress hinted that she's expecting with a TwitPic of a positive pregnancy test along with the caption, "So this happened ..." It wasn't long after she posted the photo on Twitter Monday that it was confirmed the 33-year-old "Cougar Town" star is awaiting baby No. 2 with husband Marc Silverstein. The pair, who married in 2007, also have a 4-year-old daughter, Birdie Leigh. 'Buckwild' producer: Show isn't like a train wreckMTV's new reality series might not be as "Buckwild" as its title would suggest. The executive producer for the program, which chronicles the reality TV-worthy antics of nine young adults living in Sissonville, West Virginia, told Entertainment Weekly that "Buckwild" is "quite the opposite of everything else on TV." Trailer Park: Tom Cruise's 'Oblivion,' Will Smith's 'After Earth'We're starting the week with a look at two new sci-fi projects from actor pals Tom Cruise and Will Smith. Both movies take us to a post-apocalyptic earth, with the trailer for Cruise's movie, "Oblivion," opening with a shot of where the last Super Bowl game was played. Miley Cyrus' style evolution takes another turnMiley Cyrus is as fearless with fashion as she is with her haircuts, and she proved that this weekend while performing at a Hollywood concert.
