For a vanity project written by its two hunky male leads, Christopher Livingston's gym-based comedy Dumbbells is surprisingly sweet at its core.
Granted, we're living in a post-Pain & Gain world, so any movie about gym culture made by people who aren't utter misanthropes is a breath of fresh air, but Dumbbells manages to be pleasant and largely inoffensive despite early indications that it might turn into a T&A-fest.

We could all use an island getaway, am I right? Fun in the sun. Powdery sand. Calm ocean waters lulling us to sleep while the super clean air has us breathing easier. It's just too bad that sometimes even in paradise the shit can hit the fan.

Check out some early art, stills, and even the sales trailer below.
Synopsis
After a group of college kids vanish in the Caribbean Islands, one of the missing girls is found floating on a yacht off the Florida coast. When the DEA are called in to investigate, they uncover the supernatural story of pirates, voodoo and a spring break that could unlock the ancient mystery of immortal life.

Aubrey O'Day has been busy since being fired from P. Diddy's girl group, Danity Kane. Her first movie, "American High School," is out on DVD April 7, she graced the cover of the March issue of Playboy magazine, and she's looking forward to future successes.
In O'Day's first movie, she plays a bad girl, Hilary Weiss, who's making a play for Prom Queen and Gwen Adams' husband. Yes, even though it's set in high school, two seniors, played by Jillian Murray and "Laguna Beach's" Talan Torriero, are newlyweds.
Hilary makes life a bit difficult for Gwen as she struggles with newlywed life while still in high school. And it probably doesn't help that the high school is filled with sexually-charged and ridiculous teachers (such as Playboy playmate Nikki Ziering) and immature boys (one who is played by Brian Drolet from season one of "The Hills").

Brittany Flickinger may be Paris Hilton's new Bff, but that doesn't mean she minds if the hotel heiress finds even more besties. Flickinger tells us she's actually excited that Hilton has jumped the pond to hunt for a British best friend, too. "Everyone loved the first show, so why not do a second one?" Flickinger said at last night's premiere of Jordan Eubanks and Brian Drolet's 2 Dudes and a Dream. "I mean, why hang out just the two of us? The more, the merrier, ya know?" Speaking of MTV reality shows, former Hills bad boy Jason Wahler isn't mincing words when it comes to Whitney Port's The City. "I can't believe it got picked up for a second...
