Gossip Teen

I hope she brings a sweater because Keke Palmer is heading to the Ice Age.

The 17 year-old is among the voice talent cast for the fourth film Ice Age: Continental Drift. Palmer joins the existing cast of Ray Romano, Denis Leary, Queen Latifah, Josh Peck and John Leguizamo .

But she isn’t the only new cast member. Jennifer Lopez, Aziz Anzari, Wanda Sykes, Jeremy Renner and Drake are all hoping on the animated train. It is scheduled for release on July 13, 2012.

Palmer’s character is “Peaches” the daughter of Ellie (Latifah.)

Josh Hutcherson and the cast of Red Dawn strike a pose in the first photo of the reboot to hit the internet (see the full cast shot inside.)

The film has been completed for a while, but has lingered without release because of the studio’s (MGM) financial problems. Now that MGM is in chapter 11 (which is bankruptcy, but allows the company to reform, restructure and pay off creditors slowly,) Dawn may see the light of day in theaters later this year.

The 80s original version of the movie (starring Charlie Sheen, Lea Thompson, Jennifer Grey and the late Patrick Swayze,) was about a band of teenagers who came together to fight the Russians invading America. The new reboot stars Hutcherson, Connor Cruise, Chris Hemsworth, Isabelle Lucas and Josh Peck who fight the fictional Chinese take over of the U.S.

Back in August, Miranda Cosgrove tweeted about a special guest for her Nickelodeon show, iCarly. Funnyman Jack Black was the celeb she told us about and now we know when his episode, “iStart A Fan War,” will be: November 19th. In the epi, Black will face off against Spencer (Jerry Trainor) as mega gamers who go head to head in a cyber duel.

Not only will we get to see Black and Cosgrove reunite (the duo starred in the movie School of Rock,) there are also surprise cameos from Drake and Josh stars and Zoey 101 cast. Will we get to see Josh Peck, Drake Bell and Victoria Justice with Miranda, Jennette McCurdy and Nathan Kress? That would be awesome.

The ‘Red Dawn’ reboot is in full swing with a major new cast member on board, Connor Cruise. The son of actors Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, the 14 year old is taking a page out of the family business and becoming a working actor.

Cruise will play Daryl, the mayor of Spokane, and best friend of tech geek Robert.

The 1984 action movie is about a group of teenagers who form an insurgency when their town is invaded, this time by the Russians and the Chinese.

The cast of this movie is getting more interesting everyday. Josh Peck from Drake & Josh and Chris Hemsworth from Star Trek are also on board.

Once again, Hollywood is going to the well and committing to yet another ‘reboot’ - this time ‘Red Dawn’ is getting the update with a younger cast and a lot of hopes on money-making success. Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey and Charlie Sheen were part of the original cast of teens who fight back after the US is invaded by communists. 

Josh Peck will take on Sheen’s Matt Eckertt and his brother Jed Eckertt (originated by Swayze) will be played by Chris Hemsworth from this summer’s hot hot hot ‘Star Trek’  movie. Adrianne Palicki from ‘Friday Night Lights’  joins in Grey’s role of Toni Mason. So far, Peck (from his years as on Nickelodeon’s ‘Drake and Josh’ ) is the highest profile star attached to the 2010 version. Still more casting news to come.
