Will Smith hits Dallas for "Seven Pounds" Premiere and Food Bank

Will Smith hit Dallas last night to promote his new movie "Seven Pounds" and food drive for a Dallas area food bank. He presented them with a $4000 check to help with Thanksgiving dinners. It was great event for his fans, some of whom were there all day to get a good spot on the red carpet. K104, KRNB, Dalllas Stars, Tom Joyner and wife, TD Jakes and the Texas Rangers were the other celebrities in attendance. It was pretty good turnout for a cold Tuesday night. Oh I also saw Marsha from Bridezilla who was very nice much different from how she was portrayed on TV, I actually touched her and didn't get my head handed to me. She smiled and took my greeting with grace.

Terrance Howard is replaced by Don Cheadle in Iron Man Sequel

By Borys Kit

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - In a surprise move, Don Cheadle will replace Terrence Howard as Robert Downey Jr's best friend in "Iron Man 2," the sequel to the superhero saga.

In the Marvel Studios summer smash, Howard played Jim Rhodes, Tony Stark/Iron Man's future armor-clad hero War Machine. One scene featured Howard looking at a silver suit of armor and saying "Next time," a line that caused great delight for fans.

But there will be no next time for Howard.

Marvel had no comment, but sources close to the deal said negotiations with Howard fell through over financial differences, among other reasons.

Marvel, which had wanted to work with Cheadle, then decided to take the role in another direction and approached the actor, who is shooting
Antoine Fuqua's "Brooklyn's Finest" with Richard Gere and Ethan Hawke.

The Rhodes character is expected to play a larger part in the sequel, which is rumored to go beyond high-tech villains. Justin Theroux is writing the screenplay.

Jon Favreau is returning as director, and Downey is expected back as billionaire industrialist Stark/Iron Man. Gwyneth Paltrow also is expected to be back as Stark's assistant, Pepper Potts. "Iron Man 2" is scheduled for release on May 7, 2010;

Cheadle most recently starred in "Traitor," a thriller on which he was also a producer. He will next be seen in DreamWorks' "Hotel for Dogs."

F. Gary Gray to direct Marvin Gaye Biopic

F. Gary Gray is set to direct "Marvin" - a biopic of iconic singer Marvin Gaye with C. Gaby Mitchell signed on to write the script.

Variety reports the film will be produced by David Foster with Duncan McGillivray. The duo are planning to shop the film to studios and financiers next week and the production does have complete music rights to Gaye’s catalog of songs –including his biggest hits "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," "Heard It Through the Grapevine," "What's Goin' On" and "Let's Get It On."

Filmmakers are planning to have the movie’s star lip synch to Gaye’s original recordings.

Gray (“The Italian Job”) has wanted to get a film made about Gaye, but the project hung on the music rights. The director will have competition for Gaye’s life story with the James Gandolfini produced “Sexual Healing” also in the works.

"Sexual Healing" (which stars Jesse L. Martin) is said to focus on Gaye’s declining years in the music industry due to the film only receiving the rights to Gaye’s post-Motown career.

Gray’s “Marvin” will cover the singer’s entire life including his rise at Motown, his defiance of Berry Gordy with the recording of "What's Goin' On," and his death in 1984.
