Sacha Baron Cohen's The Dictator

Paramount Pictures announced today that Sacha Baron Cohen’s new comedy The Dictator will be released worldwide on May 11, 2012. The studio also announced that Larry Charles (Borat, Bruno) has come aboard to direct.

As the press releases states: "The film tells the heroic story of a dictator who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed. It is inspired by the best selling novel Zabibah and The King by Saddam Hussein."

Uh-oh. Sounds like this film is going to be offensively funny. But, then again, we've come to expect that from Mr. Cohen.

Miss Piggy Gets a New Gig

We just found out that Miss Piggy will be playing a French Vogue editor in the new Muppet Movie, coming out next year, starring Jason Segal and Amy Adams. She certainly has the 'tude to pull this role off! How hilarious?!? We love it! Kermit might make good arm-candy, but he's got nothing on that vintage Chanel...
