Actor Nick Stahl, who had been missing for over a week, has written an email to friends saying he’s entering rehab, People.com is reporting. Stahl, 32, wrote friends to say that he would be out of touch for 30 days while he sought treatment. Stahl’s estranged wife, Rose, who had reported him missing, was apparently not included on the email. Stahl has been acting for over 20 years, with credits including The Man Without A Face, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, and HBO’s Carnivale.

Twitter star Kelly Oxford opens up about her first feature, 'Son of a Bitch'
In real life, Kelly Oxford is a young housewife who spends her days caring for her three kids in Calgary, Canada. But online, she’s @kellyoxford, a prolific tweeter whose biting, edgy humor (sample tweet: “Hey @Drake thanks for teaching my kids how to sing the n-word so beautifully”) has won her celebrity fans like Mindy Kaling and Roger Ebert… as well as 339,534 other followers at last count.
And as of yesterday, Oxford can officially call herself a screenwriter as well. As Deadline originally reported, the stay-at-home mom just sold a script called Son of a Bitch to Warner Bros. It’s the first feature Oxford has written, though she previously sold pilot scripts to both CBS and NBC. (She’s been with agency WME since 2009.) Her first book, a collection of essays called Everything Is Perfect When You’re a Liar, will also be released this fall.
Clearly, Oxford is a busy lady. But in between fielding phone calls and shepherding the munchkins, the Twitter queen took a moment to answer a few questions via email.
In your own words, what’s your movie about?
The log line was in my own words! It took me an hour to come up with “young stoner who tries to maintain her popular party image even after discovering she’s pregnant.” I think the heart of the movie is just about how major change in your life pulls the rug out from under who you think you are.

Comedy fans eagerly awaiting the unveiling of Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest comedic character, the Qadaffi-esque tyrant Admiral General Aladeen, will now have to wait five extra days. Paramount is moving the release date for Baron Cohen’s new comedy The Dictator from Friday, May 11 to Wednesday, May 16. The shift was made so that the film wouldn’t open directly against director Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows, which, as the recently released trailer suggests, has more of a comedic tone than Paramount may initially have expected.

A cloud of weed descends on Jason Reitman's live-read of 'The Big Lebowski'
The unmistakable smell of burning marijuana wafted over the audience.
This was the scene at Jason Reitman’s live-read of The Big Lebowski last night, with Seth Rogen on stage recreating the Coen brothers movie alongside Christina Hendricks, Jason Alexander, Rainn Wilson — and surprise guest Sam Elliott, playing the part he originated 15 years ago.
How someone at the reading could get away with smoking a joint in the middle of a packed theater at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art is something we’ll just have to ask the boys down at the crime lab. (Maybe the LAPD should get four more detectives working on the case.) READ FULL STORY »

Ridley Scott (kind of) shoots down rumors of re-teaming with Harrison Ford in 'Blade Runner' project -- EXCLUSIVE
Image Credit: Everett Collection
Earlier this week, a wildfire was set ablaze on the Internet when it was reported that Ridley Scott was in talks with Harrison Ford to reprise his role as replicant detective Rick Deckard in the director’s in-development Blade Runner sequel. The next day, the project’s producers quickly squashed those rumors. Who to believe? The whole thing was beginning to seem as confusing as the non-voiceover version of the 1982 sci-fi classic itself — minus the origami unicorn. So EW went straight to the source to weigh in on the rumors: Ridley Scott.
While meeting with director yesterday to discuss his upcoming 3-D is-it-or-isn’t-it-an-Alien-prequel Prometheus, we put the Harrison Ford question to him. Here’s what he had to say… READ FULL STORY »

Union news: AFTRA approves merger with SAG
Hollywood’s two big acting unions just took another step toward a significant merger. The National Board of Directors of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, or AFTRA — which oversees more than 70,000 actors, broadcasters, singers, and dancers — voted Saturday to recommend a merger with the Screen Actors Guild by 94 percent. The vote comes a day after the SAG National Board of Directors voted in favor of approving the merger package by 87 percent.
Members of AFTRA and SAG (which oversees 120,000 members) will now vote on the merger after Feb. 27. More than 60 percent of the actors need to approve it in order to create a merged union that would be called SAG-AFTRA.
SAG National President Ken Howard said in a release:
This is a terrific outcome and I offer my sincere thanks and congratulations to AFTRA’s National Board and National President Roberta Reardon. Professional performers are now an important step closer to the strongest union representation possible. Just as our boards have, I believe our members will decisively approve this merger and that SAG-AFTRA will be a leader in shaping the entertainment and media industries.
The proposed merger is expected to be addressed at tonight’s SAG Awards that will be telecast on TNT. READ FULL STORY »
