This past weekend, Anna was in attendance at the 2010 Kids’ Choice Awards! I have added 14 photos of her from the event – you can see them all by clicking on the thumbnails below.
“Private Benjamin” is being called up to duty again.
New Line is remaking the seminal 1980 comedy, reconfiguring it for the new century as a starring vehicle for Anna Faris.
Amy Talkington is in discussions to write the new take, to be produced by Mark Gordon.
“Benjamin” starred Goldie Hawn in a star-making turn as a spoiled woman who joins the Army after her husband dies during sex on their wedding night. One of the top-grossing movies of that year, “Benjamin” was hailed for tackling women’s issues and earned three Oscar noms — for Hawn, supporting actress Eileen Brennan and original screenplay (Nancy Meyers, Charles Shyer and Harvey Miller).
The title joins “Vacation” and “Police Academy” as the latest titles from the Warner Bros. library that New Line is remaking.
The new take will set the story in contemporary times with modern wars as the backdrop. Insiders say the studio doesn’t want to poke fun at the men and women in the service or take political potshots, but rather focus on the empowerment elements and build on the fish-out-of-water comedy.
Michelle Weiss is overseeing for the studio.
Talkington, repped by UTA and the Arlook Group, penned a remake of 1980s classic “Valley Girl,” which is set up at MGM. The scribe has shown she can pen a female voice with Fox’s “Queen of the Rodeo,” about teenage girls competing for the title of rodeo queen, and “Devil in the Junior League,” a Universal comedy centering on a spurned wife who is forced to transform a vulgar woman into a role model for a women’s organization.
Faris, one of the few comediennes who can open a movie, is set to star in her latest comedy, “What’s Your Number?” which is to begin shooting this spring. She’s repped by Gersh and Raw Talent Management.

Anna Faris and Chris Evans are set to take a trip down memory lane in New Regency’s R-rated laffer “What’s Your Number?”
Director Mark Mylod will lens in May. Regency partner 20th Century Fox will distribute. Mylod’s credits include HBO series “Entourage.”
“Number” revolves around a young woman who, with the aid of her womanizing next door neighbor, decides to re-visit all her ex-boyfriends in the hopes of finding the man of her dreams.
Beau Flynn and Tripp Vinson are producing. Their previous credits include “Journey to the Center of the Earth” and “The Guardian.” They’re in post on “Red Dawn.”
“What’s Your Number?” is based on Karyn Bosnak’s tome “20 Times a Lady.” Bosnak originally adapted the book for the bigscreen; her script was rewritten by Jennifer Crittenden and Gabrielle Allan.
Before landing at Regency, the project was at New Line, then Sony.
Faris, who will exec produce “What’s Your Number?”, has two other studio projects, “Gold Diggers” at Paramount, also starring Kate Hudson, and “TMI” at Universal, in which Faris will star opposite Ryan Reynolds. She also has “Yogi Bear” in the works.
Faris’ R-rated comedy “The House Bunny” was a sleeper hit for Sony and Relativity, grossing $70.4 million at the worldwide box office in late 2008.
Evans, who played Johnny Storm in Fox’s “Fantastic Four” franchise, is in theaters next month with Warner Bros.’ actioner “The Losers.”
From Variety
Anna Faris and Jennifer Garner are pairing up for a new comedy called The Bachelorette Party.
Yes, if it sounds like The Hangover, But With Ladies, then you’re right that it seems the drunken indiscretion genre is well and truly on a roll.
See, the plot finds an unlucky-in-love high school teacher facing the prospect of throwing a bachelorette party for her uptight cousin, who is marrying the teacher’s best male friend. But during the alcohol-fuelled event, the cousin cheats on her fiancé, leading our heroine to decide who she supports.
House Bunny scribe Karen Lutz wrote the original novel and adapted the story into a script originally for Nicole Kidman’s production company. But now Get Smart director Pete Segal is producing and the film is not only looking for a director and space in the busy schedules of its planned leading pair.

I have just added 5 HQ scans from Anna’s issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. You can see them by clicking on the thumbnails below!
Anna is featured on the cover and inside the February 2010 issue of “Cosmopolitan” magazine!
The magazine named her the Cosmo’s Fun Fearless Female of the Year – “She makes us laugh — and cringe — by pushing the limits of comedy in a way no other actress can. That balls-out confidence (plus the fact that she’s such a babe) makes her the Cosmo girl to watch in 2010.”
You can preview the article and watch a behind-the-scenes video of the shoot below! Anna looks amazing!
Not to sound creepy, but we’re following Anna Faris into her bedroom…or trying to, at least. “I have to show you something!” she shouts as she leaps over a doggy gate. Once we catch up, she sprints past the bed she shares with her husband, actor Chris Pratt, opens her closet, and retrieves a pair of 6-inch bedazzled red patent leather heels.
“Every woman needs a pair,” Anna says as she holds up the soft-core-porn equivalent of Dorothy’s ruby slippers, “and Chris totally loves it when I wear them.”
Anna is, of course, joking around (about the first part, not the second). The shoes were part of her wardrobe when she played an ex-Playboy Playmate in the movie The House Bunny, but tonight, Anna’s outfit is a little more low-key: a tee shirt and jeans underneath a greenstriped apron, with her hair pulled into a loose whiteblond bun. As we walk back to the kitchen of her cozy home—she’s roasting us a chicken for dinner—we notice an actual cat skeleton posed on her mantle not far from photographs of her gorgeous mom. Uh, who does that?
That’s also a question you might ask yourself while watching one of Anna’s audacious performances. And the answer is: Nobody but her.
