Is Beyonce that hot in demand? She's either loved or hated by the entertainment world.

After celebrating her record six Grammy wins and then nominated for a Razzie Award for Worst actress of 2009, the latest story is that she's attached to act opposite Oscar winner Russell Crowe in yet another remake of 'A Star is Born.'

The story is coming from the LA Times blog, who states that Warner Bros. is now looking at the 'Gladiator' star as the lead opposite her. If you've seen the previous versions that came out in 1937, 1954 and 1976, you know that the movie is about an aging, alcoholic musician who mentors/is schooled by and then finds romance with a younger female star.

After last year's 'The Taking of Pelham 123,' John Travolta returns to the action genre with the high octane 'From Paris With Love.'

A personal aide to the U.S. Ambassador in France, James Reese (played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers) has an enviable life in Paris and a beautiful French girlfriend, but his real passion is his side job as a low-level operative for the CIA. All James wants is to become a bona fide agent and see some real action. So when he's offered his first senior-level assignment, he can't believe his good luck - until he meets his new partner, special agent Charlie Wax (played by Travolta).

A trigger-happy, wisecracking, loose cannon who's been sent to Paris to stop a terrorist attack, Wax leads James on a white-knuckle shooting spree through the Parisian underworld that has James praying for his desk job. But when James discovers he's a target of the same crime ring they're trying to bust, he realizes there's no turning back...and that Wax himself might be his only hope for making it through the next forty-eight hours alive.
